Whispers of the Wendigo

Entering a snowy or normal taiga biome applies the curse, after which the Wendigo begins to hunt the player. Sounds, footsteps and falling blocks signal its approach before it appears. Its size and long arms let it tear through trees and walls, so a wall or window offers no lasting protection.

Taiga forests hold resources that help a player survive. Log cabins contain wood and a rifle in a chest, which can stun the beast for about 5 seconds. Some cabins have already been destroyed and hold the remains of a lumberjack. Dead animals lying in the snow can be broken for food.

Each time the Wendigo attacks, the gap until the next attack shortens. Death does not end the sequence; after respawning, the stalking starts again. Relogging after the curse is applied restarts the stalking timing from the beginning. Players who see incorrect animation can turn off shaders or disable entity shadows in the settings or config, and the Complementary Shaders pack Spooklemenary is recommended.
