The smell of damp earth and something metallic, like old blood or rusty cage bars, hit me the moment I stepped into the derelict grounds of Cedar Hills. Playing The Casting of Frank Stone, this Supermassive joint venture dripping with Dead by Daylight DNA, felt like walking straight into one of Behaviour Interactive's nightmares – and man, was it a bloody brilliant trip down memory lane. I wasn't just hunting Frank Stone's secrets; I became obsessed with those unsettling little figures folks call Relliks. Seriously, stumbling upon The Doctor doll held by Linda in that grim setting? Pure nightmare fuel, but in that addictive, creepy-cute way. 
These aren't your grandma's porcelain collectibles, oh no. Scattered like morbid Easter eggs throughout the decaying town and Augustine's equally unsettling British manor, these 12 Relliks are homages – terrifyingly detailed mini-monuments to DbD's most iconic original killers. Finding them became my side quest obsession, a delightful distraction from the main horror show. Each time my character scooped one up, they'd mutter some uneasy observation, adding another layer of eerie charm. It’s like if Sid from Toy Story went full-on horror artisan – these things are that well-crafted.
Honestly, spotting The Huntress’s unmistakable rabbit mask peeking from a dusty shelf, or a tiny, twisted statue of The Hillbilly lurking in a shadowy corner? Goosebumps, every time. The references aren’t just background noise; they’re woven into Cedar Hills' rotten tapestry. A faded portrait hinting at MacMillan Estate here, a subtle nod there – it’s a DbD fan’s scavenger hunt paradise. But the Relliks? They’re the main event for collectors like me. A whole category dedicated to celebrating the Entity’s favourite murderers!
Finding all 12 felt like cracking a dark code. They’re tucked away across the game’s 14 chapters, demanding a keen eye. Spoiler alert, folks – you’ve been warned twice now! Here’s the full roster of these creepy-cute killers I tracked down:
-
The Hillbilly 🪓: Found near some grisly workshop tools. That chainsaw... tiny but terrifying.
-
The Huntress 🐇: Her iconic mask, instantly recognizable, hidden amongst forest debris.
-
The Trapper ⛓️: Often near rusty bear traps or industrial wreckage. Classic Evan.
-
The Wraith 🔔: Phantom-like, often in misty areas or near broken bells. Gave me the chills.
-
The Clown 🤡: Found in predictably garish, unsettling spots. That laugh echoed in my head.
-
The Legion 🔪: Usually grouped or in chaotic teen hangout spots. Pure anarchy in miniature.
-
The Nurse 👻: Phasing near medical areas or old asylum sections. Her float... unnerving.
-
The Doctor ⚡: Linda's prize! Often near electrical equipment or experiments. That static crackle...
-
The Twins 👶: Victor and Charlotte, usually found in cramped, dark spaces. Double the dread.
-
The Spirit 🎐: Ethereal, near traditional Japanese elements or serene-but-spooky spots.
-
The Trickster 🎤: Flashy, found near stages or vanity mirrors. All style, all menace.
-
The Champion 👑: The big man himself – Frank Stone. His doll marks his bloody ascension into DbD killer royalty. Finding it was... fittingly grim.
| Killer | Vibe Check | Where I Felt The Dread |
|---|---|---|
| The Hillbilly | Rustic, brutal, chainsaw hum | Decaying sheds & workshops |
| The Nurse | Phasing terror, hospital sterility | Old Asylum wings |
| The Twins | Claustrophobic, double trouble | Under beds, inside closets |
| Frank Stone | Raw, new evil, visceral | The heart of Cedar Hill's rot |
Tracking down that final Frank Stone Rellik? Whew. It cemented his place in the DbD pantheon. Holding it, my character just muttered, "Well, ain't you somethin' new..." Chills. Absolute chills. These dolls are more than collectibles; they’re tiny, terrifying trophies celebrating a decade of DbD horror.
And c'mon, Behaviour! You can’t drop 12 insanely detailed, nightmare-inducing DbD killer dolls into a game and not think we’d be screaming, "Shut up and take my Bloodpoints!" for real-life versions. The level of detail demands it. Imagine these Relliks on my shelf, watching me... Judging my looping skills... It’s the merch dream (or nightmare) we need. Get on it, BHVR! Until then, I’ll just be replaying Cedar Hills, double-checking I didn’t miss a single, sinister stitch on any of them. Totally worth it.
