r/outlast

i recently brought the chases back and been practicing it on insane mode( idk why am doing this to myself). And i have been stuck in this part for a while only being able to pass it by randomly(but died in the river). Only to realize he is just stuck there the whole time.

Scared me for a second, lol.

For people that don’t know who the Uber Immortal is, he’s from the movie 300.

Instead of just adding variators to pre-existing challenges and maps, you can create your own, with a victim and everything. A Custom Main Trial has four parts: environment/challenge 1, environment/challenge 2, an execution, and of course the Prime Asset(s).

Environment Challenges 

• Police Station: gather keys from corpses with the correct symbol on them to open the gate to the next section.
• Police Station II: in the basement, do the generators to open the gate to the next section.
• Fun Park: throw hearts at Futterman targets to open the gate to the next section.
• Orphanage: throw child mannequins into the wood chipper to open the gate to the next section.
• Docks: use the number decoder to bring drug packets to a shady mannequin by the gate to open up the next section.
• Suburbs: escort a mannequin around the map, while opening gates for it. Once the mannequin reaches the gate, it opens to the next section.
• Shopping Mall: collect fuses from various shops to open the gate to the next section.
• Television Studio: set up 2 scenes from StI and sabotage them to open the gate to the next section.
• Resort: use the portable black light toon Liliya mannequins to get the jewels on their necks to open the gate to the next section.
• Resort II: in the outside area, use heat generators to melt blocks of ice containing keys, which you then use to open the gate to the next section.

Executions

• Police station: a victim is positioned in an upright frame with a spike beneath them. There is a large, four-person crank in front of the victim that you’ll need to push to slowly raise the spike through the victim.
• Fun Park: a victim wearing a Futterman mask is in a dunk tank and you must throw hearts at the correct targets like in the finale of LtUB to send them falling into the murky water where they drown.
• Docks: a victim is tied to the end of a seesaw above a vat of acid, while the other end has ropes attached to it. Pull the ropes to dunk the victim into the acid until they’re dissolved.
• Shopping Mall: a victim with a pig mask is hanging from their wrists above a large meat grinder. There are several cranks you can use to steadily lower the victim into the grinder.
• Resort: a victim wearing a golden mask is on a throne with tubes going into their body. Carry poison jugs from PtM to various funnels to poison them.

Custom environment example: DETHRONE THE MINOTAUR

• First challenge: Shopping mall
• Second challenge: Docks
• Execution: Resort
• Prime Asset: Kress Twins

anyway, if you have any ideas for sections for executions, feel free to talk about them. I want the sections to be reminiscent of their trials, but also add new stuff.

(Made by me feel free to roast I don’t post my art on the big Reddit ever) I finished outlast 2 for the second time with a new found appreciation for the game. I quite like Blake this time around :)

It's very sad the fact that Blake went through with Lynn the same thing that happend to Jessica :(.

Found an unused puzzle box in the Owl key lodge, any ideas or do we think it's truly is just unused?

Gameplay

• Blind, but has very good hearing.
• Slowly roams the map while singing in a brown noise frequency (brown voice) — this disables any nearby reagents’ ability to use non-trial necessary items or their rigs when in her proximity.
• In chase, Marana is very fast and her flail hits for a ton of damage at a long range.
• Her PA traps are little radios bolted to walls that emit a recording of her brown voice singing.

MAIN TRIAL: SCORCH THE OPERA SINGER

“You are the shepherd’s hound, our line of defence that protects the flock from their own terrible decisions. Where the sheep find a false shepherd, you find a throat to rip open and a voice to silence. Scorch the heretical Singer to deface the Opera. And we will let you out.”

1. Infiltrate the Opera House: you spawn in a seaside city and make your way into a large Opera House by the ocean called the Scylla Theatre.
2. Bypass the Gate: in the entrance halls, you are blocked by a shutter gate and a mannequin telling you that “the show’s already begun. You cannot enter.” By the shutter gate, there are 4 code panels beneath screens displaying a symbol. Around the map are bandaged corpses that, if you shine the room’s black light onto them, reveal a symbol on them. Find the right corpses and pull a tag with ‘symbol=number’ on them and numbers them into the corresponding code panels. Once you’ve got them all, you can go into the stage room.
3. Marana’s intro: up on the fenced off stage, you can see the victim, the Singer, dangling in the air by her wrists in a skimpy dress. you also find Marana singing in a play before an Ex-pop gets up and starts trying to attack you through the fence, making noise that irks her into crushing the Ex-pop’s skull with her barbed wire microphone flail. She curses you out before exiting as the fence goes down.
4. Shut Down the Show: the darkly lit stage room serves as a large connecting point with back rooms available behind the stage and seats. Around the area are Experimental Rheostats, heavy items that need to be inserted into a Power Aperture before turning the components of the Rheostat to align the wires. Once all of this is done, the lights in the stage room come on as the curtain falls. 
5. Reset the Stage: in the backstage, an area with rails opens up. There is a large shutter gate that requires an Experimental Rheostat to open in order to escort a giant furnace via proximity. Along the track back to the stage, you’ll be stopped at several points to put parts of a nude woman statue onto the furnace by finding a three-digit code according to three screens’ symbols. Find the right corpses and tags under the black light to obtain the legs and torso. Get the statue furnace up on stage and do the final statue assembling to place the Singer into the statue alongside the head. You’ve effectively created a brazen bull contraption.
6. Execute the Opera Singer: the curtains come up as Marana charges towards the stage from the audience seats. The furnace has opened up fans that you’ll need to press down on, making a ton of noise as smoke pours out the statue’s mouth, while avoiding Marana and other Ex-pop. Fan the flames to scorch the Singer until her screams die down and her scalded corpse falls into the open fire in front of you.
7. Exit the Trial.

MK CHALLENGE: SHUTDOWN THE CHARITY

“Kindness is to be earned, not given away without thought. The naive pigs that seek to starve themselves will spread famine through the entire livestock if they are to continue. Cancel the fundraiser. And we will let you out.”

1. Infiltrate the Opera House (guest area): you make your way into the Opera House and find a mannequin on stage talking about the poor and the Bible in a fundraiser event.
2. Shut Off the Opera House: around the map are corpses that need a black light shown on them to see the symbol. Instead of a whole room like in VtG or PtF, you use the spot light from StI to see them and collect the corresponding keys to each power panel across the map with a symbol on them to shut off the power to various parts of the Opera House, gradually plunging it into darkness. 
3. Shutdown the Charity: once all that’s done, regroup and hit the button by the stage mannequin to cancel the fundraiser.
4. Exit the Trial.

MK CHALLENGE: BURN THE BAND

“A popular band has arrived to preach against our truth. Burn each Band member and make it so that they’ve never existed as to fortify our divine truth.”

1. Infiltrate the Opera House (top floor): you make your way into the Opera House to find a bunch of mannequins on stage each representing hippie band members.
2. Burn the Band Members: leading from each mannequin is a wire that connects to a Power Aperture that needs a specific Experimental Rheostat to be placed in it and fixed. Each Power Aperture unlocks a specific incinerator that can only be used for its respective, colour coded band member mannequin. 
3. Exit the Trial.

MK CHALLENGE: ERASE THE BAD SEED

“Genetics shape the future in the same way that hands shape clay. We cannot allow deformity to fester throughout the population. Erase the Bad Seed that threatens to debase our future. And we will let you out.”

1. Infiltrate the Opera House (basement): you make your way into the Opera House’s basement to find a shredder
2. Shred the Bad Seed: around the map are redheaded child mannequins that have the same brown voice effect as Gabrielle Marana: in their vicinity, you cannot use items or your rig. Carry them towards the shredder and put them in.
3. Exit the trial.

Backstory

In 1933, Gabrielle Marana was born in Florida by the Emerald Shore as result of an accidental pregnancy. Her parents would then give her away to the father’s sister, Bonnie Marana, who raised Gabrielle from soon after birth. Gabrielle very quickly gained an ability for singing, able to generate brown noise frequency due to a deformity in her vocal cords, which also resulted in pain while speaking. Her Aunt, who was usually cold and distant, would then act as her manager in musicals as early as 4 years old. 

In her teen years, Gabrielle would be known and loved around her immediate neighbourhood for performing in the Scylla Theatre. She had several admirers who stalked her throughout her life, but whenever Gabrielle felt uncomfortable with seeing them outside her window or finding one of her pillows covered in fluids, her Aunt would scold her for being “ungrateful” for the love people were showing her. Gabrielle, thinking it was normal, romantic even, would then take advantage of these admirers, having secret sexual relations with them. At several points in her teens, she would end up pregnant and her Manager would beat and/or poison her for it, killing the unborn baby while she did so. Sometimes, Bonnie would strip Gabrielle naked and leave her outside in the dark as further punishment. However, this didn’t stop her from using her stalkers to get her frustrations out, often tying them up and bloodletting them as she took great satisfaction from their pained moans. Whenever Gabrielle went too far and killed one of these admirers, she’d use her money and influence to sweep it under the rug.

In her early adult life, she was well known, stalked by paparazzi and admirers while still under the heel of her Manager. Gabrielle made several changes to her body: removing ribs so that she could fit into a tighter corset, using experimental drugs to stay active on stage even after exhaustion, etc. while still partaking in the torture of admirers for her own pleasure, viewing the experience as an outlet for her lust and anger. However, in 1955, a stage accident occurred that resulted in Gabrielle Marana being trapped under burning metal and rubble for over 7 hours. 8 people died that day and Gabrielle walked away with horrific scars: half of her body was charred with 4th degree burns, her eyes had melted in their sockets and were rendered useless, and her genitals were disfigured far beyond recognition. Her career as a rising idol quickly diminished as her Manager milked the last drops of popularity from her in the form of charity events. During this time, Gabrielle entered a depressed state, going catatonic for days on end and having huge, sporadic outbursts of anger. While on a charity tour where her Manager paraded her around looking for sympathy, a rumour spread in news outlets and among remaining fans of Gabrielle saying that Bonnie Marana had orchestrated the accident that disfigured Gabrielle because she was jealous of her beauty. As soon as Gabrielle heard this rumour, she immediately bought into it and began slowly integrating it into mainstream news companies and interviews. 

1957, the Marana household was burgled and ransacked by an angry mob who wanted justice for Gabrielle. Before police could show up to arrest the fans, Bonnie and Gabbie Marana had gone missing with some of the arrested admirers confessing to killing Bonnie. In particular, most confessions stated that Bonnie Marana’s hands were severed and taken as trophies.

Away from the public eye, Gabbie Marana hid away beneath the newly rebuilt Scylla Theatre, where she would lure young singers away with her naturally pacifying singing tones. She then tutor ed these singers, while manipulating them into intimate relationships with herself and her followers, love bombing them when they were cooperative and being incredibly sadistic and violent when they weren’t, occasionally killing them in grotesque displays of barbed wire bondage. Her admirers and stalkers quickly took inspiration, committing murders in a similar fashion. However, this horrific process of tutoring did result in a few singers becoming successful, using their money and influence to fund and respectively cover up the several sex and murder parties that Gabbie hosted in the basements of the Scylla Theatre. Murkoff would eventually find and retrieve her after a member of their staff visited and went missing, found dead with his nude body covered in barbed wire and his hands severed.

In the trials, Gabbie Marana persuades in the form of being both intimate and distant with the Ex-pop, utilising a reward system where she’s very gentle with those who cooperate with her, and violently maiming those who defy her. Both of which she claims to be an act of romantic love. As Dr. Easterman would put it, “acting as a tragic goddess of lust and wrath, showing spiritual invincibility through her nakedness and offering freedom in carnality. She has turned the weak willed into wild animals in heat, worshipping their instincts, thirsting for blood, drowning in the fires of Marana’s passion.”

It was a quiet evening. Ethan was gathering wood and basic supplies, Anna was doing her hair in the house. Marc was sitting down on the porch and looking up at the sky on a rocking chair. Everything seemed as calm as day. Nothing foretold the events that were to come.

- Boy, don’t you mind helping me out in here? - said Ethan trying to finish the chore.

Marc sighed.

- I’ve done so much already - he said.

Ethan frowned.

- But it would be a lotta faster, you know.

Marc rolled his eyes and said that god wanted it like this so it is.

Anna Lee was worrying in front of the mirror about what’s gonna happen to everyone. The visions were becoming more powerful with each week it seemed. It was starting to get very real, too real - and some of them could not take it.

Anna was thinking about the day her mother was cast away. The day she was ordered to go to the scalled camp. To those miscreants…

It was traumatizing for her. Not only did she grow up in a place which had enormous rigor, but her family seemed to be picked out one by one.

The cult leader, Knoth, slept with a lot of the townspeople. It was rumored that somebody must’ve spread the disease, but it was never talked about in detail.

People were scared of the scalled camp. Especially of its leaders, Laird and Nick, who were said to be insanity incarnate. Nobody really knew their origin, but some said they were sent in to Temple Gate as punishment for the sins of Zion.

She stopped combing her hair when she remembered the day the guards came up for her mother. There were two of them and Nick and Laird in black robes, demanding that she comes. Everybody was scared and her mother, Judy, wanted to ask for medicine or some time, but it was swiftly denied. Laird was a tyrant, really, and he treated Knoth’s word as god’s word. There was no space for questions. They took Judy away forcibly, and everyone tried to intervene, but Nick knocked Ethan out and they knew it was no good. Judy was finally sedated with some kind of substance and taken away to live among the scalled. Anna Lee was broken down.

She cried the whole night, but her tears brought nothing but memories. No day would be the same again. Not only was she broken, but she felt those visions becoming more horror. She felt so much pressure.

But the apocalypse came when a couple days later she heard Knoth summons her. She knew what was going to happen. Yet, she had that little hope that maybe it is about an update on her mother, about her being better. Anything would be fine.

She went to Knoth’s residence and her hope died. Knoth wanted fresh meat. There was never a choice.

She came back home in a state of shock. She didn’t have any emotions specifically. She went to sleep. She woke uo at night with terrible pain in her abdominal area. She felt like it could not be because of the intercourse, which was quite tender. The pain was coming from her head as well as her abdomen. It felt… different.

She woke up Ethan and said what happened. She also said that she was experiencing that pain. Ethan was in shock. He knew exactly what that was. It wasn’t because of the intercourse. A lot of women were compromised because of this. A lot of them killed. It was called “the enemy canal”. Knoth stated that if the pregnancy is unnaturally quick, and typically takes days or weeks, it is a clear sign that this is the way of the antichrist.

Nothing could be so powerful that it can take such short time to deliver. This is the power of the enemy. This evil must be executed. Banished. Vanished.

The townsfolk saw Anna Lee carrying and Knoth heard the word. He ordered that Ethan slits the belly and kills the child, no matter the consequence for the mother. Anna was just 15 and her boyfriend, Thomas, didn’t even know. Ethan thought about it, but could never do it. He decided to spin those idiots some stories, and allow her to escape. Anything would be better. They made a plan and Thomas and Anna ran away. Ethan and Marc orchestrated the events so that it looked like she went to a different place, where another escapee went last time something like that happened. But Martha, the vengeful angel, felt like something is off. She personally came to Ethan’s house to question him about Anna’s whereabouts. She asked where she really was, given her ominous nature, and she asked if maybe Anna ran away via the highway way.

This is where the townspeople were sent to get necessary stuff like medicine and other supplies. Ethan got stressed and Martha knew. She threatened him and said that god is watching him.

Martha and some other guards followed the trail that lead to the supply way. She traveled a couple miles, only to be struck with a vision. The visions made Anna and Thomas trip as well. They woke up after some time in another location, but it wasn’t too far to navigate. The area was flat sometimes and it wasn’t fully dark yet. There she was. They saw Martha.

They had to run. Martha would do anything to kill Anna and the enemy. Thomas told Anna that she must escape. Thomas fought Martha with a blade. He wanted to keep her away as long as possible. He threw the weapon at her and it hurt her face. She started chasing him into the trees.

Martha finally killed him, but she lost Anna. She was going to take her penance. She beat her pickaxe into the man’s chest and dragged him back to the village, muttering religious mantras.

Anna made it to a highway. She saw some lights away that she thought was a city. She fell down. She knew she had to go. She used her remaining strength to go and make it. She ultimately collapsed.

She was found by a hiker that was driving back from a trip. She was taken to a hospital and the staff tried to help her. The story was growing fast and a lot of reporters started gathering. There were Blake and Lynn from newstomorrow.net

They wanted to make this story.

Martha was dragging Thomas and spit on him. She took him to the abbatoir and hanged him up, unconscious.

Marc was staying home at that moment. They were all wondering if they made it. The tension was very intense. Marc said that he was gonna take a walk. He went up to the mountain and saw something

I've been playing this game since it first came out, and there used to be photos of these failed escape attempts in the game, but I can't find them anywhere now. Were they deleted?
