Suddenly the ground ripped open, swallowing The Demogorgon whole."
SPECIAL ABILITY: OF THE ABYSS
Press and hold the Power button to channel Of the Abyss:
- Triggers Killer Instinct on Survivors inside the Area of Effect of Active Portals.
- Unlocks the ability to perform a Shred Attack.
SPECIAL ATTACK: SHRED

and dropped Pallets.
SPECIAL OBJECTS: PORTALS
The Demogorgon starts the Trial with 6 Portals.
Press and hold the Secondary Power button to bend down and create an Inactive Portal in the ground:
- Inactive Portals are invisible to Survivors and cannot be sealed.
- Inactive Portals do not have an Area of Effect and thus do not trigger Killer Instinct.
When The Demogorgon interacts with Inactive Portals to traverse the Upside Down, both the Portal he travels from and the one he travels to are transformed into Active Portals:
- Active Portals are visible to Survivors and can be sealed.
- Active Portals have an Area of Effect of 4 metres around them.
- Survivors inside the Area of Effect suffer permanently from the Oblivious Status Effect and are revealed by Killer Instinct while The Demogorgon is channelling Of the Abyss.
- Survivors inside the Area of Effect suffer permanently from the Oblivious
SPECIAL INTERACTION: SEALING PORTALS
Survivors can interact with Active Portals to seal them, either alone or together with other Survivors, though at increasingly reduced efficiency:
- 1 Survivor seals a Portal in 12 seconds.
- 2 Survivors seal a Portal in ~9 seconds.
- 3 Survivors seal a Portal in 8 seconds.
- 4 Survivors seal a Portal in 6 seconds.
Sealing a Portal will recycle it into the inventory of The Demogorgon.
SPECIAL LOCOMOTION: TRAVERSING THE UPSIDE DOWN
Press and hold the Secondary Power button while standing atop any Portal and aiming at any Highlighted Portal to enter the first Portal and traverse the Upside Down, appearing at the second Portal:
