Dark Return

From Zero Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Dark Return is a new enemy status introduced in Deep Crimson Butterfly, similar to blossoming in Fatal Frame IV. When a ghost's health reaches 0, they have a chance to return with 50% health and increased power. They enter a "berserk mode", allowing them to use new attacks, move faster, and increase the chances of a one hit kill. Though there are scripted DRs throughout the game, they are mostly triggered at random. Photographing a spirit during these periods changes their portrait on the Spirit List to include the purple mist associated with Dark Returns. The blue "Tether" lens will prevent random Dark Returns, but not scripted ones. During the final battle with Sae, the ending you obtain will change depending whether Sae enters a Dark Return phase or not.
