Ritual: Rise of Victoria

Ritual: Rise of Victoria
Ritual: Rise of Victoria is the 4th game in the Ritual series and released on October 31st 2021 for the PS5. This game followed a new protagonist, Jane Black. It had been in development since Ritual 2 as the 3rd game, but it was replaced. This was one of the best looking games in the series, and it performed very well too. It took a much darker tone than the rest of the series, and was also considered the hardest of the series. This game went back to just a Horror game, rather than a Horror game in a random time period, like 3. You were kidnapped by a woman known as Victoria Sikensbrerg. After waking up in the basement of her house, you must escape before 1:00 PM, when he ships you off to who knows where?

Monsters
No Monsters Return from previous entries.

Guard
The guard comes out at the start of the game(3:00 AM), with a baton in-hand. When they catch you, they force the baton through your throat, causing blood to spew everywhere. They can be defeated by leading them outside and dropping the hanging anvil down on them

Housekeeper
She comes out when you unlock the garden, be-wielding machete. If she catches you, she forces your head down to watch as she stabs you 5 times in the stomach, before you bleed out and fall to the ground. She can be defeated by making her fall into a pit of mud.

Fallen Painter
Upon opening the gallery room, they look like a statue covered in silver. Until stand up from the easel, and start chasing you with a paintbrush, which seems harmless, but when they catch you, they make you choke on the paint and the brush until you pass out, and the painter starts stomping on you. The only way to stop them is to let them into the shower at full hot water and they will melt.

Boy
The boy is buried under the garden and rises up at 4:00 to chase you with a Swiss army knife. Upon catching you, he cuts your feet off, and then shoves his knife into your stomach. He can be stopped by locking him in the garden

Psycho
He wakes up in the basement at 12:00 PM. At this point you must avoid all windows. If he catches you he stabs you, and then starts opening holes in you to eat you. You can stop him by leading him into the Master Bedroom with the Master Key, which starts the boss fight, which he doesn't live to see.

Victoria Sikensbrerg - Bossfight
After opening the Master Bedroom, Victoria is laying on her bed using a knife to harm herself. You pick up a gun you found on her floor. She stands up from the bed. Suddenly, you are surrounded by thugs, who you have to beat, all 10 of them. As you defeat them, Victoria jumps out the window and lands on a 1970 Dodge Charger. The driver starts up the car and runs over 8 civilians. You head to the garage, and jump in a 2001 Toyota Camry and the chase scene begins. After avoiding civilians and catching Victoria in front of a Walmart. You end up in an intense gunfight, and after Victoria is shot, the police appear and drag you away.

Shop
This game removed skins but added weapons, which cost silver which could be found around the house. The new weapons did more damage, and the default weapon was the knife. However, if you were to use a bat, the bat deals more damage, but is slower. The weapon that deals the most damage is the Super Shotgun.

Classic Ritual
Changes assets to old Ritual assets

Speedrun Times
The game took slightly longer to 100% than Ritual 3. It takes 27 Hours to complete the game(everything) The online meta was the Silver Katana, 2001 Air Jordans(shoes are only available online) and hair put up rather than down. However, slower shoes have stronger kicks, and hair down also means that the hair can act as a mask so whoever is behind you doesn't know who you are.
