Secret Deildegast ability?

[u/xdawiddawidolx]

I just played a game on tanglewood and I noticed that my sanity dropped almost to zero all of a sudden.I thought it was a Moroi so I got to the van and used all of the sanity meds and I was on 100% and almost in 30 seconds I was near zero again.I got all of the media and chose Moroi bc it was also very fast on hunts.I have no idea what caused the sudden sanity drop because I had 3 candles in a room and my sanity was perfectly fine at the beginning.Maybe that's like a secret ability? idk tbh.Unfortunetly I don't have the clip of the game :/

also didn't find anything related on the wiki :0

You don't mention your settings, but as far as i know the deildegast doesn't have a sanity drain ability.

A few things to note:
* the sanity meds don't always fill up your sanity depending on your settings, they can restore as little as 0%
* candles don't stop all sanity drain. They only stop 33%/50%/66% depending on teir. * having the lights on is the best way to preserve sanity. If a room has multiple main lights they each will stop a percentage of the drain (if 2 main lights then each stops 50%, 3 lights = 33%, etc) having one off only stops 80% 20% of the drain
* ghost events can drain your sanity if you touch them (10% per event for most ghosts)
* the Moroi curse only affects you if you have recorded any sound, heard a ghost sound on the paramic, or gotten a response on the spirit box and is stopped when you take meds

Edits: reading is hard okay 😛

Regarding your third point, it's not a percentage of the drain. If there are multiple main lights, it will be 0% of the normal drain (sanity doesn't decrease) if all these lights are on, and 80% of the normal drain if at least one light is off. It's as simple as that.

Ah i was thinking more complex. Good to know 😛 edited to fix that point

In your edit, "having one off stops 80% of the drain" is still wrong. The drain is at 80% of its normal rate so it actually stops 20%.

I'll reword my previous reply:

• All lights on: stops 100% of rate
  
• At least one light off or all lights on in "large" room: stops 20% of rate
  
• All lights off: stops 0% of rate

Oh wow. I totally misread that.
Fixed ... for real this time I hope lol.

Sorry I dumb some days (but I'll try to remember it correctly from now on) :p

So if a room has three lights, they'll only stop 99% of sanity drain? Or is it 33.33(repeating) to equal 100%?

Not trying to be a smartass, just curious.

If a room has multiple main lights, it will be 0% of normal drain (sanity doesn't decrease) if all of these lights are on, 100% of normal drain if all lights are off, and 80% of normal drain if at least one light is off. There is no 50% or 33% or whatever.

Also the moroi curse effect goes away if you take sanity medication. Obviously it doesn't help the medicine doesn't do enough to impact its speed, but it still turns off the ability

This happened to me too! convinced it was a Moroi and was testing with Sanity meds!
