## About This Content

Descend Beyond is a new Chapter for Dead by Daylight. It includes a Killer,
The Blight, and a Survivor, Felix Richter. Purchasing the add-on will unlock
its new Killer, new Survivor, and an exclusive item for the survivor: Felix’s
The World Class jacket.

The Blight, a bright and ambitious chemist who sought to enhance humanity
through the use of his compounds, only to become a victim of his ambitions, is
the new Killer. After his research was stolen, The Blight was lured into the
Realm of the Entity by the promise of new, forbidden knowledge. The new
survivor is Felix Richter, an eccentric architect with a unique vision.
Returning to the mysterious island where his father had disappeared, Felix
descended into the darkness beyond and was never seen again.

## The Blight

A bright and ambitious chemist from Scotland, Talbot Grimes sought to enhance
humanity through the use of his compounds. During his time at the British East
India Company, he created a drug that increased workers’ productivity while
reducing their need for rest. Despite the rewards he reaped, the drug had
fatal side effects, putting workers’ lives in jeopardy for profit.
He amassed enemies, and one such man had him abducted, bound, beaten, and left
for dead.

Barely clinging to life, Talbot was rescued and nursed back to health by the
disciples of an ancient mystery school. There, monks studied forbidden texts,
striving to expand the human mind in the search for other dimensions. In
return for saving Talbot, they asked for his help, believing his knowledge
could lead them to their goal. Yet, when he nearly reached his breakthrough,
they had him drugged and dumped into an opium den.

Frantic to remember his research, a whisper reached out from the corner of his
mind to help. He grabbed a stone and etched into the wall. When there was
nowhere left to write, he carved the message into his chest. Stained with
blood, he witnessed a miracle appear before him–a field of lush, orange
flowers. The whispered voice urged him to enter the field and discover
dimensions beyond human comprehension. As the orange flowers wilted around
him, he descended further into darkness.

The Blight’s Power: Blighted Corruption

Pustula serum courses through his veins, corrupting his mind and body, yet
granting him unnatural physical abilities.

SPECIAL ABILITY: RUSH
Press the Power button to quickly Rush forward. Doing so consumes a Rush
token. While performing Rush, The Blight cannot launch an attack. Rush into a
wall or obstacle in the environment to Slam onto it. If the Rush fails to
connect with a wall or obstacle, or if the Blight is out of Rush tokens, he
will enter a short fatigue state and begin recharging the tokens.

SPECIAL ATTACK: LETHAL RUSH
Following a Slam, press the Power button to launch a Lethal Rush. Doing so
consumes a Rush token. A Lethal Rush behaves the same as a Rush, except The
Blight may launch an attack by pressing the Attack button.

The Blight comes with 3 new perks.
## Dragon’s Grip
After damaging a generator, any Survivor that interacts with it will scream,
revealing their location for a moment, and will be afflicted with the Exposed
status effect for a brief duration.
## Hex: Undying
When Hex: Undying is active and a different hex totem is cleansed, that hex
will be transferred to a dull totem–so long as one exists. Survivors auras
are revealed for a moment when within short range of any totem.
## Hex: Blood Favor
When a Survivor is hit, nearby pallets are held in place by The Entity for a
moment. These pallets cannot be pulled down.

## Felix Richter

Creative, enterprising, and analytical, Felix Richter is an eccentric
architect with a unique vision who won several designs awards, including but
not limited to the Swiss Architect Medal and the German National Design Award.
Turning away from a legacy of medicine, Felix carved his way in the world of
design, establishing a name for himself as an architect while establishing the
‘Richter and Golder’ firm with his friend and colleague, Lauren Golder.

Despite his success, he was unable to shake the sense that he was a ‘hack’ and
often distracted his anxious mind with booze and parties. When Felix
discovered he was going to be a father, he quickly pulled his life together
and focused on a project that he believed would prove his worth as an
architect.

Returning to an island where his father and other members of his father’s
secret society disappeared, Felix began extensive plans to restore and
reinvent the old, crumbling Victorian buildings. As he surveyed the ruins of
the island, he thought he saw his father beckoning him through a gathering fog
below. Without hesitation, Felix descended into the darkness beyond and was
never seen again.

Felix comes with 3 new perks.
## Visionary
If you are in short range of a generator, you can see its aura.
## Desperate Measures
For each injured, hooked, or dying Survivor, slightly increase the speed at
which you heal and unhook your allies.
## Built to Last
Once per trial, a depleted item will have some of its charges refilled.

The Descend Beyond chapter includes an exclusive item: The World Class jacket
for Felix, only available as part of the DLC. Please note that this item
cannot be purchased separately.
