Alternate Objective Ideas (Rework)
Instead of editing the original discussion I had, I figured I would redo the whole thing and maybe add a new one that might be as cool as the others. As before, these are objectives that don't align with the main goal but instead provide incentives to pursue alternate goals.
Idea 1, Remnants: There are 4 areas in each map that contains various items that relate to a certain Killer. By interacting with these items for 5 seconds each, you can get a bonus in Bloodpoints. After interacting with all Remnants, you get an additional stack of Bloodpoints and a Diary Page that provides extra Lore to the Killer. The Remnants do NOT apply to the Killer you're facing, only the location in which you're playing in. After collecting all Diary Pages, you unlock a Recording that plays the key events that led to the formation of the Killer. These Remnants can be interacted with once per person. If you die during the trial, you will retain the Remnants and the points you collected from them. The 5 seconds reset if the process is interrupted.
(For example, You're facing the Trapper, but since you're in Lery's Memorial Institute, only the Remnants of The Doctor will be available, since it's his domain. A lot of the lore here regarding the Killers is pretty cool and since I'm a sucker for cool storytelling, I would LOVE to see the pasts of these Killers get more depth in them.)
Idea 2, Shrines: There are 4 Shrines located in various areas throughout the map, each relating to one of the 4 Categories: Objective, Survival, Altruism and Boldness. After praying to the Shrine for 10 seconds, you are awarded a 50% increase in Bloodpoints in that category at the end of the match. A Survivor can interact with a Shrine only once per match. The Shrines do NOT affect Rank Growth.
(If during the match, you pray to the Altruism Shrine and get 2500 Bloodpoints in the Altruism Category, the Shrine will add an additional 50% bloodpoints to those Altruism Bloodpoints, making it 3750 Bloodpoints. Since the Bloodpoint farm is rough, I figured these Shrines would be very useful going forward.)
Idea 3, Secret Room: In the basement lies a secret room locked behind a door. There are multiple ways to unlock this door: by using a Skeleton/ Dull Key or by unlocking it manually, which takes about 15 seconds. After unlocking the door, it remains open for about 30 seconds and the Survivor gains 150 Bloodpoints in the Objective Category. Behind the door lies a room full of writings and pictures of the Entity. Gain 5 Bloodpoints per second in the Boldness Category while inside the Secret Room.
If one or more Survivor is still in the room when the door closes, that's when the Entity will attack. For 10 seconds, the Survivor/s inside the room will have to survive as a Shadow will appear and slowly chase them. The Survivors in the room will be afflicted with the "Staggered" Status Effect, which causes them to stagger constantly and have there Movement Speed reduced. If the Entity captures a Survivor, that Survivor will immediately be Sacrificed. If a Survivor is successful, the door will open once more. After escaping the Secret Room, the door will close for 2 minutes and the Survivor will gain 1500 Bloodpoints in the Survival Category as well as an alternate version of their current outfit that have been "stained with darkness." The alternate outfits cannot be replicated. The living Survivor cannot re-enter the room unless they didn't face the Shadow. The Killer cannot enter the room at any point during the game.
(This is a long one. Basically once you unlock a secret door inside the basement, you can attempt to survive against a Shadow of the Entity and potentially get a lot of Bloodpoints and an alternate version of your current outfit. This does two things: provide another use for the basement and provide an alternate challenge for Survivors. The "alternate outfit" is a nice little bonus for surviving and encouraging coming back with a different set of clothes to gain more alternate versions. After hearing about the Entity for so long, i figured it'd be cool to somewhat challenge her directly and get a taste of what the Entity is capable of, whatever that may be.)
These are all of the ideas I have for this Discussion. In case anyone is wondering, the first two were the ones that I changed up and the Secret Room is the new one. Congratulations for making it this far, because looking back, this is one heck of a read. Please feel free to provide feedback, suggest changes and/ or even your own ideas for Alternate Objectives. Thanks again and I'll see you in the fog!
