The Rite of Stillness: Ritual Walkthrough
Last checked · Checked against the development build
How do you do the ritual in Stillskin Forest?
With all four relics, go to the ritual circle in Blackthorn Asylum's cafeteria and use "Lay the relics". Then hold the cafeteria for 50 seconds while the candles light and waves of infected arrive, with a Brute at the halfway point. If the circle is left empty for 6 seconds it breaks, and you can start again. Finish it and every infected drops: the run ends in victory, "THE HOLLOW SLEEPS".

Preparation
SpoilersReveal this section
- Collect the four relics. They count for the whole squad, whoever carries them.
- Bring ammunition and healing. A Shotgun is ideal for the Brute.
- If you have the Signal Remote, save it for the defence.
- Clear the cafeteria and close nearby doors first; consider nailing planks across entrances.
The defence
SpoilersReveal this section
Use "Lay the relics" at the circle. The candles light one by one over 50 seconds while waves arrive; a Brute comes at the halfway point. Someone must stay in the cafeteria: if it is empty for 6 seconds the circle breaks. One player holding it is enough; teammates can leave.
The ending

Every infected drops and the finale shows "THE HOLLOW SLEEPS" and "THE RITUAL IS COMPLETE", with the day you finished on. The words "for now" are deliberate: the other ending is below, in the Heart of Stillskin.
