Destroyer of Hope challenge
This challenge, especially in the position where it’s at, is stupid as hell. I’m going to rant about another EGC Tome challenge.
Hook four Survivors during the EGC. Can’t be that bad, right?
Wrong. The previous challenges were annoying, but much easier because all you had to do was sacrifice them during the EGC. The current one requires you to hook them. There’s five ways to get this, and they’re all BS:
- Find the Hatch before the last Survivor does and then go find the Survivor before they bleed out or escape through the gates (up to luck).
- Open the gate yourself after all five gens are completed. You now have to find a Survivor and hook them before they reach the gate. Survivors can also conga line you. Again, luck based.
- Hook the Survivors after the last gen is finished. Survivors can just wait until everyone’s off the hook to open the gate and start the EGC. Survivors can also conga line you. Again, luck based.
- Throw the game. Stupid as hell.
- Farm. Stupid as hell.
The first three solutions are way too reliant on luck. Challenges shouldn’t be this reliant on luck.
Having to throw games or farm to complete a challenge is not right. I hate it. I’ve played six games and only gotten ONE hook during the EGC. The first two I killed them all but couldn’t find the Hatch. The last four I just started throwing games and I still only got one. The Survivors get out before I can hook one. They either rush to the gates or sneak past me before I can get a hook in.
My biggest problem is that it’s denying access to the other challenges. I have to complete this BS challenge in order to access the rest and it pisses me off. I wouldn’t have that much of a problem if it didn’t block off other challenges. The other starting challenges aren’t much better. Why can’t we just have Destroyer of Hope switch places with Hunter’s Ambition (Chase 20 different Survivors) or Ruthless Aggression (3 Silver Malicious emblems)?

especially in the position where it’s atWhy is that position stupid...?
As for the challenge (i didnt get to it yet just throwing ideas) did you try using Noed and Bloodwarden with some tracking perks?

Because it's blocking off access to a good portion of the other challenges. The other starting challenges also look like they'll be a pain in the ass. This level looks like it's out to get me lol.
I haven't tried NOED + Blood Warden yet. I just got to the challenge myself but I could tell it was going to annoy the hell out of me. I managed to get another EGC hook today by stumbling upon the Hatch.

That's why you have 4 ways to go! (2 survs sides and 2 killers)
I always try to leave the more annoying challenges last :3

2 Grabs off the generators is still worse.
Grabs from gens are rare... and they don't work most of the time.

That challenge really isn’t too difficult, I got it in two games rather easy just by using bloodwarden, I got almost everyone to death hook during the game, then come endgame collapse I apply alot of pressure and slug, until one survivor gets chased to a gate and opens it. Then i simply hook one of the slug survivors and as long as they don’t insta leave (which believe me they pretty often don’t) I get 60 secs to get my 4 hooks in one game, I almost did it in one game as well except one survivor had a key.

For this level, the other starting challenges are annoying. Freedom Fighter (unhook 12 different Survivors, likely to take hours due to Survivor queue times and the likelihood of unhooking all of your teammates each game), Bullseye (Basically relies on you having played Huntress enough to be somewhat decent at hitting hatchets from 15 meters away), or Dwight the Brave (hide within 10 meters of the Killer for 60 seconds without getting caught, extremely difficult unless you're on The Game or with a really bad/AFK Killer). I managed to complete Destroyer of Hope today though. I'm dreading the Darkly Obsessed challenge because of how tedious it's going to be (hook the Obsession 15 times, not everybody has DS and I don't have Furtive on a lot of my Killers). Same with the gen grab one because grabs suck.
I'm pretty scared of that challenge. I'm probably just going to use Wraith with a Clapper and the All-Seeing add-on and go for a map with cover.
I tried NOED and Blood Warden today and it actually didn't work that well. First game, I got to the gate a little too late. Second game, I got one EGC hook after getting lucky with the Hatch. Third game, I actually have Survivors that can get all five gens but I down someone too far from the doors and they immediately rush out once they knew about NOED (I've seen Survivors stay in the game and go for saves even if NOED is active). Fourth game, I got the last hook needed. All but one game had Survivors that needed a lot of help to even reach two gens and my hooks didn't come from NOED and BW.

I fear that wraith may not work. The worst part about grabs is that you get stuck in animation for a second and then survivor just runs away... they are straigth forward broken and the best way of getting them is to grab disrespectful survivor with ds 2 times.
And when it comes to hooking during egc... when i tried it i was like "just do the gens fools" for like 20 minutes, while intentionally missing all the attacks...
