About This Content

Dead by Daylight’s Doomed Course includes a new Killer, The Houndmaster, and new Survivor, Taurie Cain. Purchasing this add-on unlocks 2 exclusive Cosmetics: The Houndmaster - Titanium Skull & Taurie Cain - Gold Tier.

THE HOUNDMASTER

Cast adrift by a horrific tragedy, Portia Maye arose from the blood with renewed purpose: to inflict unspeakable pain on those who tore her family apart. With her loyal dog forever at her side, her insatiable lust for violence runs deeper than the darkest ocean trench.

The Houndmaster’s Power: Scent of Blood

The Houndmaster and her dog operate as one, with her every command obeyed without delay. Use your dog to chase, track, and grip Survivors, allowing you to efficiently apply pressure. 

Special Ability: Chase

Issue the Chase Command to send your dog barrelling down a straight line. Using the Command again will redirect your dog, allowing you additional control over where he goes. 

Once your dog catches and grabs a Survivor, that Survivor will be dragged toward The Houndmaster. They can escape a grab by stunning the dog or being rescued by another Survivor. If they escape without sustaining an injury from The Houndmaster, they will be Hindered.

Special Ability: Search

You can use your dog to search for Survivors, sending them on a hunt. As it moves, the Houndsense radius widens, revealing any Survivor caught within. Follow your dog’s Search Path to gain a movement speed boost. 

Special Effect: Houndsense

Healthy Survivors affected by Houndsense receive Deep Wound when Injured. Injured Survivors affected by Houndsense suffer from slower crawl speed, louder Grunts of Pain, and longer Pools of Blood whilst in the Drying State. 

The Houdmaster comes with 3 new perks.

All-Shaking Thunder

After falling from a height, your lunge distance is longer for a brief duration.

Scourge Hook: Jagged Compass

After a Survivor is unhooked from a non-Scourge Hook, it becomes a Scourge Hook. When you Hook a Survivor on a Scourge Hook, the Generator with the most progress is briefly revealed. 

No Quarter

When a Survivor is nearly complete a self-heal, they are bombarded with Skill Checks. If they fail or are interrupted, they’ll become Broken for a duration. 

TAURIE CAIN

Few react to entering The Entity’s Realm with a smile, but Taurie Cain is not like most Survivors. Raised in the Black Talon, her fascination with eldritch darkness plunged her headlong into The Fog. Despite everything, however, her moral compass remains uncorrupted – for the most part. 

Taurie Cain comes with 3 new perks.

Invocation: Treacherous Crows

When in the Basement, you can begin the Invocation. After a lengthy duration, you will become Injured and Broken for the rest of the Trial. However, the Killer’s Aura will be revealed to all Survivors whenever they disturb a Crow.

Clean Break

After you finish healing another Survivor, once you begin being healed by another Survivor, you can instantly become Broken. After a considerable duration, become healthy.

Shoulder The Burden

Once per Trial, provided you are not on Death Hook, you can activate Shoulder the Burden before Unhooking a Survivor. When they are Unhooked, they lose 1 Hook State and you gain 1 Hook State, scream, and become Exposed for a brief duration.

EXCLUSIVE CHAPTER KILLER ITEM: TITANIUM SKULL

It was the finest weapon she had ever laid eyes upon, and paid a hefty price for it. The Doomed Course Chapter includes an exclusive item for The Houndmaster, the Titanium Skull, only available as part of the DLC. Please note that this item cannot be purchased separately.

EXCLUSIVE CHAPTER SURVIVOR ITEM: GOLD TIER

Only the most revered elders wore gold, but she hoped to join their ranks one day. The Doomed Course Chapter includes an exclusive item for Taurie, the Gold Tier, only available as part of the DLC. Please note that this item cannot be purchased separately.

Loyalty runs thicker than blood.
