Who thought this was a good idea?
Who thought using one of the archive missions with an hex would be a good idea? On top of that, the only yelling that counts is the one with the Hex: Face the darkness.

I'm not sure I'm following. Why is it a bad idea to have a perk-related Archive mission? They've done that before.

Usual criticism of RNG-based challenges? Nobody particularly likes the games where you go out to get it. Whack someone -> go stand on totem -> hit someone else if you need to -> hope nobody cleanses that totem.

Oh, could be, that'd make sense. Still, this one in particular really isn't that bad, I got it first try with Wraith since it's TR-based.
That one challenge for ending a match with a lit totem while using Undying was miserable for this, so I get where the sentiment comes from, but I don't think it really applies here.

Yes, I got it tho but I had to throw a game for it... I've tried to get it in a normal playthrough but it didn't really work out for me.

What I don't get is why some tome challenges are stricter than others.
Silver Age? I don't need silver emblems, I just need silver or better (how can it be a "Silver Age" when I have four Golds??).
Destroyer of Hope? I HAVE to "play bad" enough for the game to reach endgame and then get hooks. If I kill all 4 survivors before endgame, I make no progress.

It's not intended for every challenge to be guaranteed in one single game, they're challenges.

Nobody ever liked achievements determined by RNG. xD

Face the Darkness is a perk I regularly use on Dredge and got the challenge done within the first 2 minutes of the game. You could also just use it on a killer like Doctor and even if it gets cleansed youll still get screams if you really are that unlucky

You can cheese the challenge pretty easily with ghost face or dredge with sloppy butcher, undying and thrill of the hunt. M1 someone (preferably someone without a medkit), go undetectable, wait for the challenge to complete itself.

I liked it. Gotta be creative with getting it to work. Lord knows there's worse perk challenges.

For perk based challenges it's important to remember you don't need to get the challenge using the perk, just having it equipped.
I'm not familiar with the challenge offhand but if I'm correct in guessing it's something like "Make survivors scream X times while using Hex: Face the Darkness", it shouldn't actually matter how you make them scream, just so long as the perk is equipped at the time. (Edit: looks like this is "Lead by Example"
So screams caused by the Doctor, Infectious Fright, Make Your Choice, etc all count as long as Face the Darkness is in your loadout.

That's normally true, but for some reason this challenge is an exception and you do actually have to proc Face The Darkness.
That being said, it's still not hard, you just have to play a killer with consistent Undetectable or a really small Terror Radius (so like, Dead Rabbit/Monitor on Myers in Tier 2) to get consistent screams. You don't even have to throw, just play normally with those killers- I did it with Wraith and honestly, the perk was surprisingly useful.

Really? Huh. Nevermind me, then.

Doctor’s screams wont work.
1 -
No, that doesn't work. I've tried doing it and it only works on screams for the perk.

Really? Interesting..

I honestly didnt have trouble with the Hex: Face The Darkness Archive, I think I got it done on my second match.

Then they need to stop the "complete in a single trial" BS. Which is also happens to be a challenge the OP is about.
2 -
Yep. The challenge is specifically referring to only the screams caused by hex: ftd.
which is simple to get. Just people can’t be bothered to read.
1 -
Then it wouldn't be a challenge.
The idea is you try over the course of several games, until you play one in which you complete the challenge.

i like that one tbh, got it in 1 go with bloodwarden bubba. got 8 hooks, "didn't notice" all the people working on a gen, downed someone just as it popped, waited until i figured the gates were about to open to pick up, boom, extra minute for the 3k (decided to be merciful to the feng because she was cute and was accidentally 2 of my first 3 hooks)
0 -
My point was you don't have to hold back just to make sure you get silvers for Silver Age. You can overperform and still be fine.
0 -
You don't have to get them to scream with only that perk. I think if you run the perk, but play doctor for example, those screams count. Or if you run the perk with other perks that make survivors scream it will count.
0 -
oh i thought that was the 2 sacrifices and not the 4 hooks one
i guess it's still a bit of a grind but hooks after you close the hatch count, and "start a chase with 20 different survivors" is in the same tier as a 5 game minimum challenge
