Are there any Rift challenges you can't complete?

Having 100% the current Rift (Survivor side, at least) I've returned to the bane of my DbD existence in an attempt to finally complete it. That is... Rift 1.

"Dark Senses - Finish repairing 4 generator(s) using the perk Dark Sense. Complete this challenge in a single trial."

I have never been able to get this. I've finished 3 generators countless times but the final 2 are always completed by the other Survivors (or I get hooked!). I'm not really sure how to finish this challenge as it essentially requires that I be paired with 3 Survivors who aren't doing anything other than keeping the Killer busy. 🤔

Do any of you have any pesky challenges preventing you from finishing any specific Rift?

    I’m stuck on the Dwight one where you have to hide for a minute in the killers tr. I can’t throw a match to do it lol

    That is such a tough one! You basically have to stalk a Killer!

    I was able to complete every single challenge in the archives up to this point, but might I say that how you describe how you'll probably get the Dark Sense challenge is exactly how both myself and my friend got the challenge. We sat on generators while the other 3 kept the killer busy.

    I don't SWF very often and when I do it's typically with one other person, at most with two. Unfortunately I don't think I can coordinate something like that. I have to hope for a farming round where the Killer and Survivors are off playing knock down - pick up, I think! 😥

    We weren't playing at the same time, we just both got it in similar ways.

    A two-story map like The Game is really good for this challenge.

    I am not great at looping so the chasing or escape chases 5 times will prob never happen for me unfortunately.

    Yea there are a couple of rift challenges I can't complete. Like the Plague, Legion, and Doctor challenges. I can't do them because I don't have those killers. And there's also an Oni challenge I won't even attempt to complete. Otherwise, no, I can complete all of them if I ever feel like it. It'll just take some time.

    This is more of a "Just pray for impossible skill check Doctor" build as his Terror radius can become half of the dang map giving you it by default most of the time.

    I hated the premonition archive because it was so inconsistent. Plus the perk is ass and i barely new when it activated anyways

    I can't do any of the killer blind challenges -- I'm as inept with a flashlight as anyone you'll ever see. My attempts at past challenges range from embarrassing to laughable -- I won't even attempt them anymore, lol.

    I actually have gotten the Dark Sense one done -- it just happened one match where my friend was trying a different challenge (fall from a great height in a chase), and I sent us to Glenvale. I wasn't trying to make it happen, but I was able to finish it in part because my friend stayed off of gens for a long time trying to get chased, and I just kept motoring from gen to gen through the match. (Ironically, we've both had matches since where we would have gotten it done -- the 1st time is the hardest, apparently, lol).

    I remember I've had such a hard time to complete this. I've started to play selfish, not unhooking anybody to get the gens done. But even that didn't work lol. Then there was a farming killer, so I've finished the gens while the others were farming (healing, unhooking). I was so happy when I've finished the Dark Sense challenge where you've had to complete 3 gens and then this xD

  • Bwsted

    Ask the other survivors in the lobby to 99 gens because you're doing a challenge. If there's no Ruin, they often accept. Then use bond plus open handed and keep track of what gens were worked on. Also, Gideon is probably the best map for this, because you can keep your teammates in aura range and immediately rotate.

    There's always some luck needed,but randoms are often surprisingly accomodating when you ask them for help for stuff like that.

    For me the hardest challenges were the 'stun the killer X times in a single trial'. It always seems like they respect for half mile away whenever an archive with that challenge comes out. I think every time I completed that one, it was against a Billy with endfury.

    I got all challenges done up to this point.

    the obvious ones I struggled with (the ones that got mentioned mainly) but somehow I got always lucky after a few tries.


    for the Dark Sense: as was said either SWF or pre chat with the other survs. Bond, Prove Thyself and Better Together might also work. Maybe even a brand new part.

  • Mooks
    Mooks Member Posts: 14,802

    Wasn’t that challenge distance and not terror radius dependent? Might remember it incorrectly…


    i got it on the old Game map (per offering) and I threw the entire match for it. But my teammates weren’t the most dedicated either..

  • landromat
    landromat Member Posts: 2,193

    Use bond + prove thyself and help others to finish a gen. Not that hard

  • solidhex
    solidhex Member Posts: 891

    i still don't got the hard ones as survivor... like the dark sense one you mentioned, hide 1 min with dwight in killers terror radius, i couldn't get the premonition one to work (don' know why).

    As killer, the only ones i find very hard to get are grabbing multiple people in 1 game. Grabbing is very inconsistent and i just can't do it on purpose.

  • Mooks
    Mooks Member Posts: 14,802

    Do you have Ghostface?

    i wouldn’t even attempt to grab someone with any other killer tbh. But as GF i usually get at least one gen grab for free :)

    Unhook two survivors within the killers terror radius using Borrowed Time, in a single trial.

    Seems like something that usually happens every single game but I've been trying for days and it's just not happening, unless I try to make completely unsafe unhooks, and yet it still never works out.

    I can't believe I actually want a camping killer for once.

  • kaeru

    All this challenges is better complete while everyone doing it on release. There is a bigger chance to get a sympathetic opponent that can help with challenge. For example as Killer I helped a lot of Dwights that wanted to hide in my terror radius. And then I found a killer that help me with this challenge.

    Finishing 4 gens in one trial I completed because I got lucky matched with teammates doing same challenge. So we helped each other without any communication.

    When rift is closed, it's harder to find such help.

  • solidhex
    solidhex Member Posts: 891

    you have to rush the hook right after the survivor got hooked (and accept that you will likely get downed afterwards). It's a shame that there are missions where you basically have to throw the game by putting your teammates in danger or by don't participate in normal gameplay.

    I've got all the challenges done. Every single one to date.

    However, in part 4 of Tome 6, I had trouble with Risky Repairs (complete 2 gens in killers terror radius in single trial) and the 5 malicious emblem one.

    Risky Repairs relies more on luck rather than skill or simply playing the game. Malicious emblems are always a pain in the backside.

    Don't get me wrong, occasionally you get a challenge that is difficult.

  • Freddo
    Freddo Member Posts: 139

    I have complete every single one (saving some I've done for the PTB for BP) But dark sense is just to have a 4 man SWF 99% 4 gens and have you walk around to each of them.

  • Seraphor
    Seraphor Member Posts: 9,421

    The problem with that strategy is doing it twice. If I'm sacrificing myself so save someone else, chances are I'm dead before I get to do it a 2nd time.

    Challenges i can't complete in theory? none

    Challenges i can't complete without getting the distinct feeling my teammates are single-celled amoeba that somehow got their hands on a PC? Several

    I got super lucky on this one - I got an afk Doctor like the third match after I started going for it :D

    One thing you might be able to try is hiding nearby if the killer is facecamping during the endgame collapse or something.

  • tippy2k2
    tippy2k2 Member Posts: 5,204

    Most of my challenges are complete except for one for the killer and basically a half dozen for the survivor (but they're all the same challenge)

    For the killer, it's the "Sacrifice four in the basement" one. I've gotten very close but I'm not a big fan of basement builds or whatnot because I just find it so boring so I try to "naturally" get that one. However, that's almost certainly never going to happen as naturally getting four survivors sacrificed down there through luck/circumstance feels damn near impossible. At some point I might just have to do a basement build, get the challenge, and then not worry about it again.

    For the survivors, it's the "Get X number of pallet stuns in one match". At Red Rank, killers just respect the stun too much so it's incredibly difficult to get one stun against many players, let alone 3 or 4 in one match. A lot has to go my way for it to happen.

    Out of all the tombs left, there's less than a dozen challenges I haven't gotten so I'm not particularly worried about getting any of the remaining ones done. It would be nice just for the "completionist" in me but honestly it's not a big deal either way.

    A few.

    Finish 4 generators using Dark Senses: Pretty much impossible unless you have a SWF, all of them take aggro for you and handle unhooks the entire game, and nobody finishes gens without you. Best I've ever done uncoordinated was 3.

    Kill all 4 survivors in the basement: I just can't! It's too mean! The only way to reliably get this is to be a basement camper and I'm not going to do that. The 4k rift challenges are hard enough on me.

    Then there's ones I can occasionally do but have problems with - 4 unhooks in one game (I've pulled it off a few times, and gotten the challenge, but it's so luck-based), 4 stuns/2 blinds in one game (the killer gets wary of you after you start doing it and doesn't want to fall for the same trick twice), be within 10m of the killer without being spotted for a minute (only works if the killer is afk/memeing, otherwise you have to be useless for several minutes and will probably die), several grabs in one game (only doable by farming, all the stars have to align for even one grab), iridescent unbroken emblems (pretty much asking me to have an afk killer or Blendette all game), and iridescent malicious emblems (these are just so obnoxiously finicky - because of the way malicious works, your actual hits don't matter, just your hook states, and it's basically asking you to get an iri devout and maybe it will work.)

    In every tome there are a few challenges I just give up on. I try them a few times and then I'm like, "No, I'd rather miss out on the points than keep failing to do this weird stunt." But I feel the same way about other games as well. I never finished the Riddler challenges in the Arkham games because there always came a point where I was like, "I refuse to dive off this building again."

    I got this one on the old game map. I worked on gens on opposite floor killer was on. At one point they slugged a survivor on bottom floor but stayed close for bit before picking them up and hooking nearby. I'd say use offerings for that map and try staying on opposite floor from killer.


    This one you just need to be on a gen as it's finishing, not necessarily repair the entire gen. When I have challenges like this I run around finding people working on gens that are partially finished and hopped on. This one was definitely a pain to do solo. If you can get an swf teammate that can tell you when they're aboug to finish a gen so you can hop on at end.


    I've completed all the survivir challenges in each tome. Killer I have plenty left to do, just don't feel like completing them.

    for that challenge, you just have to be on the gen when its finished- you dont have to do the whole thing. I got it by running a really good toolbox with bond and prove thyself and only worked on gens with other people.

    and i finished all the challenges, though the worst one was 100% kill every survivor in the basement in one match. the amount of people who dced to deny me the challenge was astounding

  • SeannyD115
    SeannyD115 Member Posts: 583

    For that challenge use bond and hop on a gen that's almost finished with a teamate. You don't need to work on the gen the whole time to get it.

    I think the one challenge that made me the most miserable was the "Grab 2 survivors off of gens in 1 trial" master challenge that we had a few Rifts back. Unreliable game mechanic (grabs) that required survivors to be relatively unobservant (which can happen, but isn't likely in red ranks) and had to happen multiple times in one match.

    In general though, I also strongly despised the "Unhook a survivor who unhooked you earlier" challenges. I'm not usually the first person hooked, which means there's a good risk that when I'm caught later in the match I'll be unhooked by someone who's about to be sacrificed or I'll just get camped out by a killer salvaging what they could from a rough match. It felt frustrating to have the stars misalign so often for this challenge; twas a similar negative energy to when you get hooked first while running Deliverance.

    The Dwight challenges. I can't. But I'll do them eventually.

  • Friendly_Blendette
    Friendly_Blendette Member Posts: 2,923

    Funnily enough I think I got that challenge first time. Your typical solo Q game where nobody does gens is all it takes. Throw on Bond and Provethyself so you can see what gens other people are working on and join them to finish it. Even bring better together to get survivors to group up on your gen.

    I can't complete most of the Trapper challenges (Because I'm terrible at playing Trapper) or the one where you have to sacrifice 4 survivors in the basement in a single match.

    Kate_Main_01 Member Posts: 504

    To everyone who informed me that all it takes is the final 1% of the gen to register in Dark Senses - thank you!!!

    I thought I had to take four gens from 0-100% by myself. I have been going at that challenge so wrong for so long. You're all saviors. I think that was a language barrier issue and me being too literal minded about the wording! 😅

    I’ve been trying to get “unhook survivors with borrowed time within the killers terror radius two times in one match” for a couple days now. I think it’s just an issue with a lot of people trying to currently get it because I’m not even getting chances to unhook lately. People are being stingy lol.
