Luck is another very simple positive status, exclusive to Survivors. As in many RPGs, it gives chance rolls (such as attempted disarming of traps) a greater chance to succeed. When you’re being chased by a hideous, vicious monstrosity, you always want Lady Luck on your s


That exact same kill is how the Nightmare carries out his Momento Mori in the game. It’s unclear why the developers chose that death as opposed to a death from 2010, but it’s a nice call back to the classical Fre
