The Gray Demons appear in FAITH: Chapter I during the fight against Amy .
Biography[]
The Gray Demons have slender bodies, have a small black hole in the middle of their face, are gray, and can teleport. They don't make a noise. They also closely resemble the Red Demon seen in the tutorial.
September 21st, 1987[]
John decides to go back to the Martin House to finish his exorcism on Amy. After avoiding Michael, he heads inside, and Amy draws near. After warding her attacks on the second floor, she flees into the attic. Up there, they have a brief conversation, and a fight ensues.
Amy covered herself with a white sheet. While exorcising, Gray Demons appear from corners of the room and target John. They teleport slowly towards him, and eventually three will be chasing him. They cannot be banished by the cross, they can only be avoided. Touching Amy will kill John, but since she's idle it's easy to get out of the demon's way. With enough time Amy will take off the sheet covering her face, making the demons disappear.
In the third phase of Amy's fight, she will spawn a pentagram and follow the pentagram's lines. If exorcised long enough, she will go faster and move in five places instead of three. When she moves for the fifth time, she'll stop, and a Gray Demon will appear and make a beeline towards John. Again, they cannot be banished and have to be avoided. Once the Gray Demons leave the area, Amy will stay, still longer than usual, giving John enough time to use his crucifix. She will then go back to her regular attack pattern of moving three times and creating a spiral of satanic symbols.
Sooner or later, Amy's demonic hand goes back to her face. To avoid getting exorcised, she jumps out of the attic window.
October 31st, 1987[]
A little over a month later, the demons make their appearance again. After brief chatting, John and Gary will fight. During the battle, Gary can summon apparitions of all the demons and entities John has faced throughout the series, including these demons. Once again they cannot be banished, they will make a beeline towards John and knock him down. If John doesn't grab his crucifix in time, Gary will capture him and perform the Second Death on him, killing him. Otherwise, this is the last time these demons appear.
Trivia[]
- The Gray Demons and the Skeletal Figure are the only enemies in the game that cannot be damaged or banished at all.
- This would also include the Red Demon but that's a demon exclusive to the tutorial section. Even when they reappear as an apparition in Chapter III they can't be repelled.
- The Gray Demons and the Skeletal Figure are also the only enemies in the game that don't have a voice or say anything.
- Same goes to the Red Demon as well, but they are only in the tutorial section.
- The filename for these demons is called "shadow".
Theories[]
- These demons are probably the products of the sacrifice's cultists are doing to Amy after doing the Second Death.
- Amy got the Second Death ritual sometime after escaping a psych institution nine days ago. The reason why they aren't in the house but are nearby (seen by shooting a sacrificed fox) could imply that they were off gathering more sacrifices to put through Amy's face. These demons also have black holes on their faces, and since the deer are possessed (seen by "The Hunter" ending and as an apparition in Chapter III) and the woods constantly loop, the whole area is under some kind of possession or demonic influence due to these demons coming out at a rapid pace. These demons don't come directly from Amy's body, they just start surrounding John from outside the walls of the attic. It could imply that they are all over the area.
