The Executioner

The Executioner

Lore

A sadistic and merciless executioner, Pyramid Head is fixated on dispensing punishment through pain.

Encumbered by the steel frame upon his head and with a hulking great blade in tow, he stalked the hellish corridors of Silent Hill, committed to a duty that no one truly understood. Where he trod, even monsters fled for the shadows, and those who crossed his path fell victim to unrestrained acts of aggression. When his duty was complete and his presence no longer needed, he prepared for the long rest-and yet, his skills were required elsewhere.

The Fog that streamed over him was somehow different than that he was accustomed to in Silent Hill, as if each wisp contained the nerves of a creature, writhing, seeking him out. There was an unspoken agreement in that moment. The billowing cloud was an invitation to duty and sadism, and Pyramid Head, stepping into The Fog, accepted his obligation once more.

Perks

Forced Penance

Those who stand in the way of duty will suffer harsh judgment.

Survivors who take a protection hit are inflicted with the Broken status effect for 60/70/80 seconds.

Broken prevents Survivors from being healed.

Trail of Torment

You guide your victims along a path of pain and punishment.

After damaging a generator, you become Undetectable until the generator stops regressing. During this time, the generator's yellow aura is revealed to Survivors.

This effect can only trigger once every 80/70/60 seconds.

Deathbound

Those whose lives are intertwined in darkness are destined to suffer together.

When a Survivor heals another Survivor for one health state at least 32 meters away from the Killer, the Survivor performing the healing action will scream, revealing their location and activating Deathbound for the next 60 seconds.

During that time, the Survivor will suffer from the Oblivious status effect when further than 16/12/8 meters away from the healed Survivor.

Power

Rites of Judgement

Open the gates of suffering and be judged! The Great Knife splits the ground, giving rise to an infernal construct and spreading agony to all who approach.

RITES OF JUDGMENT

Hold the Power button to activate, then move in any direction to carve a trail into the ground.

Survivors who walk or run on the trail will trigger Killer Instinct and be afflicted with Torment. Survivors affected by Torment may be sent to a Cage of Atonement while they are in the dying state.

SPECIAL ATTACK: Punishment of the Damned

Press the Attack button while Rites of Judgment is active to perform Punishment of the Damned. This unleashes a wave of force, damaging any Survivors in its path.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Cage of Atonement

Press the Active Ability button while standing over a dying Survivor suffering from Torment to send them to a Cage of Atonement. Survivors in a Cage of Atonement can be sacrificed as if they were on a hook. During the second phase of the summoning ritual they will be forced to complete Skill Checks to hold off The Entity.

Being rescued or rescuing another Survivor from a Cage of Atonement will remove Torment.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Final Judgment

Press the Active Ability button when standing over a dying Survivor suffering from Torment who has already reached struggle phase on a hook or in a cage to execute them.
