Unironically the Hardest Archive Challenge

You're either not getting hooked, dying on first hook, or dying before anyone else in the trial is hooked.

I don't see how this is supposed to be possible.

    I dunno why they continue to make these really stupid challenges. I mean I guess this is a "play normally" type of challenge and just keep going until you get it, but challenges that are this really insistently specific are just the worst. All challenges should be some variation of:

    • Repair X gens.
    • Unhook X teammates.
    • Kill/hook/down X survivors.
    • Get X emblems.
    • Use X killer and successfully hit with their power some number of times.

    I dunno why they think things like HIDE FROM THE KILLER ALL GAME WITH DWIGHT AND THEN ESCAPE OR IT DOESN'T COUNT are good challenges.

    The Plague one where you had to hit two survivors with one corrupt purge twice in one trial was the most difficult challenge they've ever had

    I ran "Aftercare" for this challenge. It took a while to complete sure....but it happened.

    I kinda cheese this. Have Kindred and Empathy. Find the killer loop around but let em hook you first.

    That was a pretty easy one for me. I just drank corrupt and they swarmed for the unhook and got the two downed. I think the hardest challenge I've had to encounter so far was anything involving Nurse because honestly I just dislike playing her. It gets kinda boring.

    To be fair, it's not like like you have to do it in a single trial, so the challenge isn't that difficult, just time consuming at worst.

    "Finish repairing 4 generators while using the perk Dark Sense IN A SINGLE TRIAL"

    At least the one you mentioned is doable in multiple matches, and you can kinda force it by looking for the killer at the start of the match

    This one wasn't really bad cause you only had to finish it. Admittedly easier before the killer buffs in the last patch, but run Dark Sense, Bond, Prove Thyself and gen rushing toolbox and hop on gens with someone else when you can just to finish it. Even if you only work on it for 2 seconds it counts as long as you finish it

    Sure, but as soon as the killer finds you you can say goodbye to the challenge

    If you're not in a SWF someone else is going to finish at least 2 gens

    It's just one of the many challenges that requires specific variables to go your way to complete it. Atleast you can complete it over multiple matches instead of all in the same match.

    If you're having trouble I recommend running Kindred so teammates can see what others are doing/that killer left hook and Aftercare so you can keep track of the survivor that previously unhooked you - helps to be nearby when they go down so no one else gets the save before you.
