I was playing with a friend of mine when I got dread, but the thing being I got lost in room 150 for an hour straight, getting me killed I was astonished and pissed as hell that I that my reaction forwards dying to dread was just this "🗿"
FACT: dread does not guaranteely attack you after a few seconds but hes reaching you slowly and you can even see and outrun him as long as you want in the same room but its hard to see him
i tried getting Dread a few days ago. After the lights broke nothing happened l until I gave up at around 4 am on the in-game clock. Guess Dread was out sick that time.
You can also use the new clock item found in doors 49 and 50 and those clocks only move when you’re moving making it perfect for predicting dread encounters!!!
i think dread is a personification of us as a character fearing the unknown of whats behind the next door, we pace around filled with fear, only to than face the darkness slowly surrounding us, and eventually killing us with our fear.
How long you have to wait for dread to kill you isn't actually time based. He has a physical body thats very hard to see and emits a whispering sound. He spawns a short distance away from you and slowly moves toward you. I have a video of me running circles around him for a minute straight.
YOU CAN AFK IT WILL WORK. When i was doing my stream today (floor 1 stream my newest one) i accidentally spawned drake when i was sitting still. (I had to eat because my parents got mcdonalds)
i thought he just kills you if you stay afk for too long? he still is just one of those entity's that you need to do stuff to get, doesn't prevent you from anything, screech prevents you from staying in dark rooms too long, rush prevents you from freely making it to the end without much of a challenge
For some reason when I was at room 61 I got it on accident when I open the door I still survived but I got the badge so you don't have to die to get it
I was on door 181( I had the figure fuse room) in the mines and I got all the fuses i was about to leave but guess who spawned and killed me dread now I hate him for that
This is a lie i have been indoor 90 because my mom give me a side quest to do and i was finishing it and then i DD it in 15 min then died even if I ad my crucifix on it
