"Blessing" of Strife

Early Surface progress can trigger a staged curse that begins at 20% extra enemy damage and gains 5 percentage points after each encounter, up to 100% for that night.

What it is

Enemies deal 20% more damage when Eris applies the curse. The increase rises by 5 percentage points after each encounter, up to 100%, and lasts until the night ends.

Where and when it appears

  • Eris waits in the opening chamber of Oceanus while the save has no more than 1 completed nights. Accepting the curse also grants 20 Ashes.
  • Eris waits in the opening chamber of Fields of Mourning while the save has no more than 4 completed nights. Accepting the curse also grants 50 Psyche.
  • Eris waits in the opening chamber of Tartarus while the save has no more than 7 completed nights. Accepting the curse also grants 300 Bones.
  • Eris does not apply the curse when Melinoe has no Death Defiance and is at or below 50% Life.
