Transition between hosts.

Strategic Tips

Switch between hosts by pressing Sword while aiming at a new host, allowing you to cover a greater distance disguised. If all Possession upgrades are unlocked, you can effectively jump from human, animal and dead hosts.

Corpse Possession1

Occupy a recently deceased or unconscious human host.

Strategic Tips

Use human corpses as a hiding spot to avoid conflict, and to take a closer look at your surroundings without being noticed.

Human Possession4Requires Corpse Possession

Control a human host.

Strategic Tips

Your control of humans is limited, so combat or fast movement are not possible. Possessing a human allows you to perform simple actions such as collecting objects or opening doors.

Allies of the human you are possessing will not attack you, and security devices attuned to the human you are possessing, like the Arc Pylon or Wall of Light, will not harm you.

If you are falling, possessing an animal or human on the way down will effectively break your fall.

Lasting Possession1

Extend duration.

Strategic Tips

Possess a host for a longer duration. This allows you to cross greater distances and take more actions while inside your host.

Possession

PressUse Power/Weaponto possess an animal host that you can control for a short duration.
Possession is very powerful, allowing you to merge physically with an animal, such as a fish or rat, for a limited duration.
You must have an unobstructed path to your target. Possessing a target through an active Wall of Light is impossible.
This power is useful for stealth, enabling you to hide in small places or move through spaces normally too small for you, like water-filled drainage pipes or ventilation ducts.
Enemies will try to stomp you if you are possessing a rat. While possessing a hound you can sprint faster.

Upgrading this power changes some of its basic functionality.
