Spoilers ahead. This page says what this creature is, where it waits, and how it fights.

The game wants you to meet it in the dark first.

Turn back

Too many knuckles.

Deadly

Sometimes, at the bottom of a cistern puddle, instead of the Drowned

Gaunt

What it is

Something long lives in the water: tall, thin as a rake, with fingers too long and joints it should not have. Only one of the puddles holds it, and you will not know which until you are in it.

Henry once bought a finger off a man who said it came out of the water. It had a gold ring on it, and one joint too many.

How it fights

It gets hold and does not let go: a cold grip on your body and arms, a heavy lurch at your middle, and a howl that stays with it for the fight.

It can turn any part of itself to stone. When it hardens, hit later. Nothing gets through stone.

What you were told

Henry says

Too many knuckles.

Something long lives in the puddles in the cistern. I bought a finger off a man once, said it came out of the water. Gold ring on it, one joint too many. He didn't go back for the rest.

Kate says

Thin as a rake.

There's something in one of the puddles in the cistern. Tall, thin as a rake, and it grips - it gets hold and it doesn't let go. You won't know which puddle until you're in it, love. Look before you dive.

Named: Cold Grip

Hollis says

Grows in the wet.

Down in the cistern water something keeps growing - fingers too long, joints it shouldn't have. Only one of the lower puddles holds it; the rest hold the Drowned, or what the Drowned let go of. When it hardens all over, hit it later. Nothing gets through stone.

Named: Stone Skin
