"Glyph Massacre" clarification

Just attempted a match as Chucky, got orange glyph, but did not get all 6 hooks. I was expecting it to count for each hook progressively, but realized it only counts at hook 6 to see the ribbon show completion/progress. This isn't exactly the issue, but perhaps it should be considered, like some challenges will progress, but if not all done in a single match, it reverts.

No, the issue is the lack of wording in the challenge, where it does not tell you that it all needs to be done in a single match.

The exact wording for "Glyph Massacre" in Tome 17: Level 4 is currently:

"Commune with the Orange Glyph and then Hook 6 Survivors. *Interacting with the Glyph will afflict the Killer in multiple ways. Push through and complete the objective to remove the affliction"


Please add an addendum that says: "Complete this challenge in a single trial." Otherwise, I would've thought I could cumulatively collect the glyph over multiple matches and add my hooks to the progress bar.


Another user replied to this in the bug reporting forum (wrong forum, I know) stating that the words "Push through and complete the objective to remove the affliction" should be self-evident. However, it was not self-evident to me, as I thought the challenge was simply about hooking survivors while afflicted, NOT directly about removing the glyph.

    I personally think that any Hook-based challenge that must be completed in a single match should display as (Current Hooks) / (Total Hooks Needed) instead of 1 / 1. In this case, it would show as 5 / 6, and would make a lot more sense in terms of brevity.

    I agree. 1/1 is far too misleading in a challenge with multiple counts, and should be uniform with all similar challenges.

    I have to agree with that other user. It is heavily implied by the "remove the affliction" part, as that is the condition that actually completes the challenge.
