Boon: Illumination

Summary

After blessing a totem, all Survivors in its radius see the auras of all chests and generators, and you bless and cleanse totems slightly faster while your boon is active.

In-game description
Effect

"Your keen insight is something best shared with others."


Press and hold the Active Ability button on a Dull or Hex Totem to bless it and create a Boon Totem.

All Survivors within 24 metres hear soft chimes ringing out and benefit from its Boon Effects:

  • The Auras of all Chests and Generators are highlighted to you in blue.

Increases your Action speeds for Blessing and Cleansing by 6/8/10 % while you have a lit Boon Totem.

Survivors can only be affected by one instance of Boon: Illumination at a time.

Only one Totem can be blessed by your Boon Perks at a time and all of their effects are active on the same Boon Totem.
