Redirecting Sewer Water - Water Horror?!

[FreonTrip]

Hey, guys. I'm on my third playthrough of the full game, and the previous two times the only menacing thing that happened in the level where you redirect sewer water were a few monster sounds, and the muffled struggling sounds of that poor man in the chamber. This last time was different - after redirecting the water flow and on my way back to the entrance, the Shadow suddenly began growing near the exit, and I had to make a frenzied detour just to make it back through. Did I do something wrong this time, or something right?

I believe that some events in the game have to do with sanity. This one may just be random, i donno. But there are several specific points that can come out differently depending on your sanity level.Example: The painting of Daniel...

I suspect it's happened because I visited the Cistern after the Morgue - going back and trying things the other way around doesn't induce the same behavior. Lesson learned: for increasing your chance of heart attack, take my route. Thanks!

From my experience, this happens when you redirect the water after fixing the bridge and finishing the morgue.
Btw: In this scenario, the water monster should actually spawn.

edit: Oh, I see you found that out in the meantime

My sanity was good when I finished the Cristern. And The shadow didn't come. It acculty made me sad. I wanted to get back to the entrance with the water lurker appeared.

Code: (Select All)

///////////////////////////
//EXIT LEVEL GUARDIAN EVENT
void CollideAreaGuardian(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    if(GetPlayerSanity() > 75) return;

Guardian and Lurker spawn when your sanity is higher then 75%

[xiphirx]

no no no, you have the opposite. If your sanity is lower than 75, it has those effects ;-)

[NyteMyre]

yeah sorry..... meant to say INsanity higher then 75%

Good catch XD

Oh. And the darkness spawned the first time for me aswell. Guess I don't give Daniel enough time to respite.

Hm, guess i'll have to go there after the morgue this time then!
