Deer are (mostly) docile animals that appear in FAITH: Chapter I and Chapter II.
They are found roaming the forested areas of Connecticut.
History[]
May 4th, 1986[]
A day after the Martin twins' birthday, Cindy writes that they returned to the house with their hands covered in blood. A deer had been brutally ripped apart in the woods, and they had decided to play around with its corpse. Cindy suspects this to be the work of coyotes, but still feels uneasy about it.
September 21st, 1987[]
As John Ward makes his way to the Martins' house, he will often encounter deer in the surrounding woods. They will stand in one spot eating the grass until approached, where they will raise their heads and run away. If a deer is in the area when Michael Davies attacks, he will chase after it instead of John.
The Hunter[]
Deer during "The Hunter" ending.
After picking up the rifle, John can choose to shoot a lone deer in the forest. When he departs in his car, he will encounter a deer in the middle of the road, which will cause him to crash into a tree. John is ejected from the vehicle and is severely injured by the accident, desperately crawling back for his cross. Several deer are now surrounding him, and a buck on the right charges at John, killing him and mutilating his body beyond recognition.
The news article shown after this implies that John tried to harvest some venison off of the deer and load it into his car.
September 28th, 1987[]
During John's nightmare, he encounters a deer fleeing from another deer's decimated corpse strewn across a tree.
Later, he runs into a herd of deer fleeing from the bodies of three thralls in a ritualistic circle.
October 31st, 1987[]
During John's fight with Gary in Garyland, he has a chance of summoning apparitions of past foes, including the deer that kills John in The Hunter ending.
Trivia[]
- The filename for the sprite of the buck that kills John in "The Hunter" ending is named "spr_demonDeer".
- The roar sound effect the buck makes in "The Hunter" ending was reused for the hand that pulls him into the Mirror Demon fight, as well as for the Tree Demon in Chapter II.
- In game, the deer are shown to have white spots on their back. However in real life, white-tailed deer lose these spots at the age of maturity.
- Since Michael only became possessed and then escaped into the Connecticut wilderness shortly before the events of Chapter I, he could not have been responsible for the dead deer mentioned by Cindy. It is possible that the Eternal Order of the Second Death is connected to it in some way.
