The Spectreโs new game (the mechanics)
Hello everyone, itโs me again, I know it hasnโt been long since I posted my story, the Spectreโs New Game, but I thought I should add more to it and make up some mechanics for each of the seekers and how to deal with them, or more so going into depth on how to deal with them, be aware that theyโre all subject to change if Iโm not satisfied with them, Iโll also be stating their heights as well because why not, with that being my said, letโs get started (please suggest any new mechanics I can add):
To start of here are the goals each round can bring:
1. Making it to the end of the round like forsaken
2. Reaching a finished line at the end of the mountain range
3. Looking for items around the map, the number of items can change from 5 item s to 15 items at random at the start of every round, and there are times the seekers will be guarding them
Now for the characters that you will be up against:
Azure (45 feet tall): Heโll be wandering around the mountains searching for you, stay out of sight if you can. Around the mountains will be these black ritual circles in the ground, avoid stepping on them, otherwise it will alert not only summon tendrils to ensnare you in place, but they will alert Azure to your location, struggle to break feel and run before he reaches you, as he will grab you with his tendrils to prevent you from running, and Iโm sure you know what happens next. He can also use the scent of certain flowers to lure you towards him if heโs unable to find you, best to not fall for it, instead use it as an indicator to know if heโs approaching. In his golem form, he can move pretty quickly, you canโt out run him while heโs in this state so best to dodge him. (You think Two Time would be the first to fold if itโs just to Azure specifically?)
Sixer (70 feet): Theyโre very quick on their hooves, running from them wonโt work, if you hear growling, that means theyโre approaching, quickly hide before they see you. They can also smash the ground, the vibrations being enough to stagger you, get up on high ground if you donโt wanna get stunned. (Poor Noob, theyโre gonna be so terrified)
John Doe (69 feet): be careful when heโs around, if he sees you and you try to run, heโll use corrupt energy to try and slow you down, they can either block your path, especially since theyโre huge, or your clothes will get snagged on them if you donโt dodge fast enough. Itโs also best to avoid the trail he leaves, youโll get corrupted and it will slow you down. (Janeโs capable of fighting back but who knows for how long)
Slasher (45 feet): Slasher will be on the map as well, heโs pretty fast so best to hide if you spot him approaching, he also will slash his machete towards you as a way to stun you, dodge if you donโt want that to happen. (Just be lucky they arenโt allowed to kill you, Guest will make it, hopefully)
Gasharpoon (65 feet, the size of a megaldon): all I can say is, be very wary around the lakes, thatโs where the captain herself resides, her harpoon gun is now equipped with a line and hook and she will reel you in with it if she shoots it at you, move out of her range if you donโt wanna get dragged into the water. (My version of her is part salmon shark)
Antonio Sonnelino (Mafioso) (65 feet): out of all the seekers, Mafioso is very quiet with his foot steps, so you wonโt be able to know whether heโs approaching or not. However, there is a way to know, if smoke starts to surround you, that means heโs coming, but I will tell you this, that smoke has a hint of sleeping gas in it, so taking a sniff of that will cause you to feel drowsy, which in turn slow down your movements and cause you to pass out, I suggest you hold your breathe and move quickly before moving into a hiding place. One more thing, his goons will be searching for you too, itโs best to stay out of their sight, other wise theyโll catch, restrain you, and bring you to to their boss, fighting back is also a good course of action too. (Chance is probably screwed)
Noli (41 feet tall): heโll be teleporting around the map searching for you, you can hide from him, but heโs not gonna look in each hiding spot to find you, instead, heโll mimic other characters voices in order to lure you out, the way you can tell is the tone of voice and if it starts glitching, if it ever starts to shift, thatโs him, just wait for him to give up and leave. (Thank you N00dlet0p, you inspired me)
1x1x1x1 (40 feet): as you can guess, heโll be walking around looking for you, if he spots you, heโll chase you while trying to strike you with the daemonshanks, getting struck by them will cause you to get poisoned which will slow you movements, Iโd suggest dodging very quickly if you donโt want that to happen. (The effects will be a lot more worse considering his size)
Nosferatu (39 feet): heโs gonna be in the sky looking for you, hiding will work on him since youโre out of his line of sight, however heโll do something similar to what Noli can do, but unlike Noli, he can use vocal hypnosis to coax you into coming out, cover your ears and wait for him to leave. However, should he see you, heโll dive bomb and pin you down, and whatโs more, heโll hypnotize you with his eyes and his voice , close your eyes and resist before you succumb, donโt listen to anything he says. Btw, he still has his blood hook ability, so yeah, might wanna dodge if he launches it towards you. (Heโs gonna have most fun)
Doombringer (67 feet): heโs slow, so you may think you might able to out run him, but I have to warn you, heโs slow on purpose, instead, if he sees you, heโll smash his hammer either onto the ground causing a shockwave to appear, and that alone will cause you to get stun for more than a few seconds, or against the mountain youโre high up on, causing you to fall into his awaiting maw, just lean against the mountain wall and you wonโt fall off the cliff side (credit to N00dlet0p for the idea of him hitting the ban hammer against the mountain), just be lucky no avalanches will happen, the Spectre wonโt allow that. Also, if you happen to get to far from him, heโll summon red chains to restrain you and reel you in. (The arenโt gonna have a good time, especially Builderman and Shedletskey)
Itrapped (27 feet): heโs gonna be around the map too, just be wary of gin and youโll be fine, he does have the Darkheart with him so yeah (I know Chance is screwed, and sorry if this isnโt much, I donโt have a lot to work with in regards to ITrapped, if anyone has anything I can add, please tell me. Also, he isnโt taken seriously as a seeker, and can be prone to anger)
Phosphorus (54 feet tall, his tail however is 200 feet long): heโs not gonna be outside, instead heโs gonna be underground, thereโs quite a bit of holes around the map so listen carefully for hissing and if you hear any, wait for him to pass. Also, he knows when youโre hiding in the caves, be careful when navigating through them should you go deeper, you donโt wanna run into him, plus remain in them for to long, and thereโs a chance heโll grab you by the leg and take into the darkness. (He may not be able to kill you, but I think scaring the wits outta via vore and making you think youโre gonna die will suffice for him, please note heโs not above getting a bit rough should your constant fighting prove to be annoying to him)
Hacklord (57 feet): heโll be around the map as well, since heโs armed with a sword as well, Iโd suggest quickly dodging to the side because once you get hit by one of his swings, youโll take a huge amount of damage that you wonโt get up from. He was also given the ability to restrain you with chains, so yeah, thereโs also that. (heโs gonna obviously target Shed, though heโll likely be more gentle on Brighteyes since sheโs present too)
14. Amarah (36 feet): theyโre a lot like Azure in terms of mechanics, pay extremely close attention to your surroundings because there light indigo spawn circles on the group, much like with Azure, stepping on the symbols can alert them, on bright side, stepping in them wonโt hold you in place. Unfortunately, Amarah is a lot faster than Azure, so you might wanna get away quickly before they reach you.
The Masked: (writerโs note: Iโll come up with something later when he gets released)
Charlatan (33 feet): (writerโs note: Iโll figure out something for her when she releases unless something comes up and I donโt add her in this little thing Iโm working on, but she is watching the whole game and may cause a little trouble)
Extra mechanic that involves the area:
The campfires: even though youโre wearing winter clothes, that wonโt be enough to protect you from the cold environment, especially when it starts to become even colder. Fortunately, around the map are campfires, go to them to warm yourself up, bit donโt stick there for to long, otherwise the seekers will show since they can see the flames of the campfires from afar. (Thank you @n00dlet0p for inspiring me to make this)
1. Since Mafioso is half hare half wolf, not only can he sniff someone out, he can also jump very high and far.
2. Nosferatu is the type to play with his food, and heโs gonna enjoy every moment of it.
3. I recommend not standing on the ice in any of the frozen lakes, Gasha will jump out from beneath you, break through the ice, and eat you that way.
4. If you were to make yourself willing to them, you getting eaten by them will be a lot more gentler and not as terrifying. (It bothers the Spectre but then again, he expected that)
5. Out of all of the seekers who would be rough with you, itโs a tie between Mafioso, Sixer, Gasha, and Doombringer.
6. Itโs better to remain quiet when hiding, espoused when theyโre looking for you.
7. There might be a chance the Spectre will the seekersโ places, he would be a jack of all trades kinda guy.
8. Gasha can become a mershark/mer-orca, makes it easier for her to move through the water.
9. Letโs just the survivors wonโt be the only hiders.
10. This is just me, but I like the idea of Mafiosoโs goons hiding in his pockets, who knows, maybe theyโll like to be closer to him if they ask.
11. If the seekers were to win, theyโre supposed to let the hiders out, but not all of them do that. (If you know what I mean)
12. Noli can also create clones of others to trick you into coming out, the way to tell the clones from the person is if the clones start glitching.
13. Distractions work on them, just be mindful about it.
14. Depending on who youโre playing as, your luck could turn sour.
15. How the Spectre was able to convince Hacklord and Phosphorus to participate is up to interpretation.
16. If you were to be willing towards the seekers, like you just give up and accept your fate, itโll catch the seekers off guard for sure, and a few of them will think youโre a buzz kill if they prefer the thrill of the chase. But one thing that is constant is that regardless of their reaction, they wonโt pass up the opportunity for a free meal, even if your only saying that just to catch them off guard and bolt while theyโre confused. (Donโt bother running even youโre not serious about accepting your fate)
17. Sometimes the hiders and the seekers can switch places if the Spectre decides that, so yes, Chance and Shedletskey can be seekersโฆโฆ..I know what yโall are.
18. Should you give in, each of the seekers will react differently, theyโll either think youโre a buzzkill or theyโll take full advantage of your willingness
19. Mafiosoโs goons are the following heights (shortest to tallest):
(I might add more facts if any come to mind)
20. The goons can devour you too in the hide and seek round should Mafioso allow it, which he most definitely will
21. Giving in to the seekers would be the best option for you, some donโt like it when you fight back.
22. Gasharpoon would sing sea shanties while searching for the hiders, sheโll only stop singing when she sees someone.
23. Careful when traversing across the frozen waters of the Captainโs domain, for if you fall, you might be able to swim your way back to the surface quickly before she gets the chance to grab you by your ankle and pull you down to devour you, but youโll end up getting extremely for a long while, which in turn will slow your movements and the other seekers will take advantage of your vulnerable state should they see you, and if Gasha hasnโt gotten out of the water to get you and you havenโt gotten far enough away from her yet. Pray the heavens above youโre near a campfire spot or one of the hiders became a seeker.
24. The following seekers leave a trail behind wherever they go (credit to @n00dlet0p for the idea):
* Gasharpoon (a trail of salt)
* Mafioso (a trail of Smoke)
* John (a trail of corruption)
* Azure (a trail of nightshades)
25. Once Doombringer gets you, heโll freeze you in place with the snap of his fingers should you be very uncooperative. However, worry not, once he devours you youโll be unfrozen once youโre inside of him. (I read the unofficial Forsaken wiki to find this out, especially for the chain one, I know heโs being reworked right now and the abilities may change, but I like both of those abilities so Iโm keeping them in)
26. 26. Guest1337 and some of the other hiders can size shift at will, makes it easier to fight against the other seekers, theyโre given a special artifact to make that possible, though not all of them have it. (Example: Noob and Oscar (Roblox News Reporter Guy))
27. Charlatan and ITrapped get eaten by the other seekers the most due to the fact that both of them have caused the other seekers to lose the hiders they caught.
28. As another way to keep you from running, Doombringer will stare at you with his red galaxy eyes, and should you stare back at them, youโll be lost in them for awhile given how mesmerizing they look, like some form of hypnosis, and should he be below you, once he has your attention, thereโs no running or saving you. Added bonus, Nosferatu can do it too, only heโs tempt you to look closer.
29. ITrapped can climb the mountains to reach any of the hiders, donโt think you can get away from him by going higher up.
30. 1x will ambush you like Phosphorus does, heโll likely hide out of sight like hiding below you or above you or something.
31. Phosphorus will likely squeeze you with one or of his hands the more of a fight you put up, whether youโre to stubborn give up or your screaming and pleading for mercy, heโll find it amusing but after awhile it will get kinda annoying after awhile as thereโs only so much of a fight you can put up until it gets annoying, itโs better to give up otherwise he might actually kill you.
32. Azureโs breath can smell like different flowers for some reason, it can be either something aromic to relax you or poisonous to weaken you.
33. Stuff like hunting becomes pretty natural to Amarah given that they have eaten people, as for Azure, well thatโs a different story.
34. Noob was given a gun, the same one they rarely use, but it was modified to where the bullets donโt kill the seekers? But they stun them instead. (Fun fact: Both Mafioso and Gasharpoon have some respect towards them for being brave enough to do it.(
What? You thought I was finished? Hereโs a little bonus just for you.
Telamon (basically if Shedletskeyโs a seeker) (Huge but size can vary): beware of the god of swords, who knows why the Spectre had him be one of the seekers, but never the less, heโll be flying above you, and if he sees you, heโll dive bomb you like Nosferatu, move outta the way if you see him. He can also use the swords to hinder your movements, depending on which one, it wonโt end well. One more thing about Telamon, he may lure you in by pretending to be a campfire zone, he can even do what Nosferatu and tempt you into coming out of hiding, so be vigilant. (This is for you @n00dletop)
Chance if heโs a seeker (the same height as ITrapped): just like the rest of the seekers, you need to stay out of sight, but in the event you do get caught by him, you can get out of getting eaten if you win a coin toss with him, though itโs gonna stop him from eating you regardless. If you win, you get a head start, if you lose, itโs down the hatch for you, and trust me, youโre gonna have to get lucky. (Fun fact: even though heโs a seeker, this doesnโt exempt him from getting eaten. If youโre lucky, Mafioso might be nearby and start chasing him down, giving you the chance to run, though even that wonโt save you most of the time)
