The Chaser
A relentless assassin that hunts players who fall in the Depths.
The Chaser is a feared enemy that pursues players in the Depths, the underworld you are sent to upon dying rather than being wiped. Failing to escape means permanent loss of your character.
Threat
The Chaser is fast and lethal, punishing panicked movement. Escaping the Depths requires calm navigation and route knowledge.
Stakes
Because Deepwoken features permadeath, a Chaser encounter is one of the highest-tension moments in the game.
