Killing

In other (unofficial) languages:

**Killing** is an interaction unique to the Killers and allows them to bypass the usual Sacrifice mechanic.

## Overview

**Killing** a Survivor is a special ability The Entity usually only grants to Killers that have proven themselves as devout servants, by burning one of the Memento Mori Offerings.

However, a handful of Killer Powers have an inherent ability to kill Survivors or can be modified with Add-ons to do so.

### Daily Ritual

This special ability is required to fulfil any Daily Ritual that requires a Killer to kill a Survivor by their own hand.

## Unlockables

### Offerings

#### Memento Moris

These Offerings are the most common Unlockables used to kill Survivors with:

* Grants the ability to kill the **last remaining** Survivor in the Trial in the Dying State.

* Grants the ability to kill **one** Survivor in the Dying State, who has progressed **two Hook Stages**.

* Grants the ability to kill **all** Survivors in the Dying State, who have progressed **two Hook Stages**.

*"I could swear It spoke to the beast.It came to a halt, as if calmly listening to the leaves rustling, and then... grinned."*

An active **Reverse Bear Trap** will kill any Survivor that tries to leave via the Exit Gates or as soon as its timer runs out.

#### Rites of Judgement

**Rites of Judgement** allows **The Executioner** to kill any tormented Survivor in the Dying State who has been hooked or caged (or a combination of the two) twice already.

## Trivia

* In-game, the act of killing a Survivor is often referred to as *"Kill by your own hands"*.
* **Killing** bypasses the regular Hook-based Sacrifice mechanic and thus does not count towards any Achievements or Challenges that require Sacrifices.
* Survivors who have been killed will show a different skull icon on the HUD, compared to those that have been sacrificed.
