The Revenant is an advanced entity added by the Anomaly DLC.

Occurrence[edit]

Revenants may spawn as an Entity event when a colony has at least four colonists.^{[Slaves/Guests?]}. It will not spawn until this threshold is reached, even if all other advanced entities are already discovered and Void Provocation is performed. A known entity will be summoned instead.

Alternatively, one can acquire a Revenant Spine from a Mysterious Cargo quest as a piece of cargo. The revenant will reform after some time,^[Verify] or when placed into containment. Note that immediately smashing the spine will not unlock the Revenant's codex entry. It is not currently known whether the quest respects the population requirement.^[Verify]

Summary[edit]

The Revenant is an advanced entity hunting for colonists to hypnotize. It can also target prisoners, though it in unclear if it only does this when no valid colonist targets remain.^[Detail]

Pawns that have been caught by a Revenant will be plagued by a condition called revenant hypnosis, which caps consciousness at 10%, leaving them downed indefinitely. After successfully hypnotizing a victim, the Revenant will flee and hide to hibernate, just to return eventually to find another victim. The revenant is linked to the colonists it hypnotizes, meaning the hypnotization will end when the Revenant is killed.^[Only?] It is not limited only to the player's pawns, but is also capable of hypnotizing, prisoners, visiting guests and traders.

Can be revealed by the waterskip and vertigo pulse psycasts.

Upon death, the revenant will dissolve and be replaced with a revenant spine, which will unlock the Revenant invisibility dark research project. It will also stain the ground around it with an oily looking black stain filth. The spine can be carried to a holding platform to reform and resurrect the revenant, or can be crushed to kill the revenant permanently, which will yield a shard.

Revenants have a psychic sensitivity of 200% and a toxic resistance of 100%.

They have a stagger duration factor of 0%, making them immune to stagger.

Note that despite nominally having a melee attack, it never uses it^[Verify] and instead it either uses its hypnotise attack or runs away.

Yield[edit]

The revenant yields 4 bioferrite and 200W per day. Min contianment strength 80 Base escape interval: MTB 45 days. Studiable 120000 Advanced 3 knowledge requires holding platform Requires monolith level 1 for study.

Analysis[edit]

These entities are quite fast and turn invisible after getting some distance to the colonists, so catching and killing it poses a challenge for unprepared settlements. Especially spread-out settlements where Revenants can pick victims without anyone around can be crippled badly by it returning over and over again.

Fleeing or rather moving Revenants leave behind black scratches, which gives the player a chance to track their movement and get a sense of its whereabouts.

Additionally, hidden Revenants can be revealed with disruptor flares, explosives, EMP, or firefoam. Sometimes, damaging the specter will make it drop Revenant flesh which can be studied to better understand the creature, making it easier to find and track it down on the next encounter.

A Proximity detector is capable of detecting a hidden Revenant, but it will not reveal it. Still, it can be used to help narrow its hiding area.

Revenants hypnosis can be cured by the Unnatural Healing ability.

-Burning revenants will be unable to hide or flee. For this reason, a single [[scorcher]]{{BiotechIcon}} can effectively disable a revenant, as its [[Mini-flameblaster]]{{BiotechIcon}} has a fast enough fire rate to prevent the revenant from extinguishing itself. Of course, this does require that the scorcher is able to reach the fight before the revenant grips its target.
