  1. P1Hex: Hive MindUnique · The First

    "You found yourself connected to something dark and unknowable... and you embraced it."

    The first time you hook any Survivor, a random Dull Totem becomes a Hex Totem, provided that a Dull Totem remains in the Trial Grounds.

    Generators are highlighted; the intensity of the generator's Auras reveals their repair progress.

    As soon as a total of 4 generators have been completed in the Trial:

    • All remaining generators explode, lose 6/8/10 % progess, and start regressing.
    • The associated Hex Totem becomes dull, and this perk becomes disabled for the remainder of the trial.

    The Hex Effects persist until the Hex Totem is either blessed or cleansed by a Survivor, disabling it for the remainder of the Trial.

    "You... let us in. And now, you are going to have to let us stay" — Henry Creel

    "A Hex rooting its power on hope.
    The false hope of Survivors fills you with excitement and strengthens your Totems."

    If there is still a Dull Totem in the environment, Hex: Thrill of the Hunt lights a Hex Totem whenever you hook a Survivor for the first time, cursing them with its Hex Effects.

    For each lit Hex Totem located in the environment, gain a token.

    • Hooking a Survivor causes all Totems to be blocked by the Entity by a stack-able 4/5/6 seconds per Token, up to a maximum of 20/25/30 seconds.

      • Blocked Pallets cannot be dropped by any Survivor.

    The Hex Effects persist until the Hex Totem is either blessed or cleansed by a Survivor, disabling it for the remainder of the Trial.
