The Hallowed Concepts DLC adds 18 new survivor skins, and none of them are handed out for free. Each one is tied to a specific survivor and a specific challenge, and the first group has a deadline inside the run. This guide lists every requirement, the route to each challenge, and the mistakes that cost players their attempt.
Quick Reference
| Group | Challenge name | Survivors that get a skin | How to unlock | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dying to Meet You | Commando, Huntress, Acrid, Seeker, CHEF, Enforcer | Beat the Soulbound Threshold boss rush as that survivor | Before the fourth Teleporter event |
| 2 | Memento Mori | Bandit, Engineer, Artificer, REX, Captain, Acolyte | Defeat the secret boss behind the Reincarnation door | None |
| 3 | Against All Odds | MUL-T, Mercenary, Loader, Railgunner, Void Fiend, False Son | Finish a run while holding 10 or more Hexes | Any ending counts |
Not included: Operator and Drifter do not get a new Hallowed Concepts skin.
Important rule: You must play the survivor you want the skin for. Clearing a challenge on Commando does not unlock the Huntress skin.
Before You Start
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hallowed Concepts DLC installed | All three challenges live in the DLC content |
| N’tormat encountered | N’tormat is the entry point for Groups 1 and 2 and improves Hallowed Shrine odds for Group 3 |
| At least 1 N’tormat Page | Pages open the route to the boss rush and the secret boss |
| A survivor from the lists above | Skins unlock per survivor |
Group 1: Dying To Meet You (Soulbound Threshold)
Survivors: Commando, Huntress, Acrid, Seeker, CHEF, Enforcer
This is the boss rush. It is the only group with a time limit, so plan it early.
Step By Step
- Find N’tormat and collect at least one N’tormat Page. Pages come from Wake events and Trials. The most reliable method is going to the Bazaar Between Time and using the Trial Gong pit.
- Reach a Shrine of Descent. It appears on stage 2, stage 3 or later.
- Trigger the Teleporter event on the stage where the shrine opened.
- Enter the portal that appears after the event.
- Clear the Soulbound Threshold boss rush. A central console sits in the middle of the arena, reachable by ramps.
Group 1 Rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Deadline | Finish before the fourth Teleporter event |
| Survivor | Must be one of the six listed |
| Failure | You can try again in a later run |
Warning: If you reach the fourth Teleporter event without clearing the Threshold, that run no longer counts for this skin.
Group 2: Memento Mori (Secret Boss)
Survivors: Bandit, Engineer, Artificer, REX, Captain, Acolyte
There is no deadline here, so you can take your time setting it up.
Step By Step
- Get a Reincarnation page. It comes from Trials or the Shrine of Compulsion.
- Do not leave by the normal exit. Taking the usual route cancels the setup.
- Walk toward the central console until N’tormat reacts.
- Use the Reincarnation page on the giant door.
- Cross the water to reach the boss area.
- Defeat the secret boss.
Group 2 Checklist Of Common Failures
| Mistake | Result |
|---|---|
| Leaving through the normal exit | The door never becomes usable |
| Using the page before N’tormat reacts | The door does not respond |
| Playing the wrong survivor | The kill counts, but no skin for your survivor |
Group 3: Against All Odds (10 Hexes)
Survivors: MUL-T, Mercenary, Loader, Railgunner, Void Fiend, False Son
You do not have to win a specific fight. You only need to end a run carrying 10 or more Hexes.
Ways To Gather Hexes
| Method | What it gives |
|---|---|
| Concept Reliquaries | Hexes as a reward |
| Embrace Death (Hallowed Shrine) | 3 Hexes per use |
| Sale Star | Doubles the Hexes from Reliquaries |
| Hallowed Shrines after meeting N’tormat | Appear more consistently |
Key Points
- Hexes stack as detriments, so a 10-Hex run gets dangerous quickly.
- Any ending counts: victory, obliteration or other.
- The Hexes have to be on you when the run ends, so do not trade them away at the last moment.
- “Embrace Life” and “Embrace Death” are the two options on a Hallowed Shrine; Embrace Death is the one that gives Hexes.
Suggested Route
- Meet N’tormat early so Hallowed Shrines show up more often.
- Open every Concept Reliquary you find.
- Pick up a Sale Star before opening Reliquaries.
- Use Embrace Death on each Hallowed Shrine until you pass 10.
- Keep playing until the run ends.
Mastery Skins (Separate)
Some fan sites also list separate Mastery skins for Enforcer and Acolyte, earned by winning on Monsoon (or obliterating) with that survivor. This comes from a fan site only and I could not confirm it from an official source, so treat it as unverified until you see it in-game.
What Sources Disagree On Or Leave Out
| Topic | Status |
|---|---|
| Individual skin names | Not published by any source I checked; one report says they share names with existing skins but use different colors |
| Achievement names | Not listed by the guides checked |
| Mastery skins for Enforcer and Acolyte | Fan site only |
| DLC release date | Announced in April 2026; check the store page for the exact date |
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to finish all three groups on one survivor? No. Each survivor belongs to exactly one group.
Can I use any difficulty? No difficulty requirement has been reported for the three challenges.
Which group is easiest? Group 3 is the most flexible because any ending counts and there is no boss to beat.
Which group can I miss? Group 1. It has a deadline, so a late run cannot earn the skin.
Do Operator and Drifter get skins? No.
