Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem/Sanity effects

Sanity Level
A Main aspect of Eternal Darkness is it's Sanity Level. Obviously if you were in the same situations, you'd go crazy too, not to mention Xel'lotath. It's a great feature in the game which makes it unique.

Your Sanity Level Bar is located in the top right-hand corner of your screen. it will appear if there is change, or if it is really low. The glare from the enemies' eyes drain your sanity, causing these effects. You can revive it by using the Xel'lotath Alignment Recover spell, or by killing an enemy. Some creatures, the Xel'lotath Alignment creatures, drain more than others, but recover the same sanity as was stolen. --Stylus Samurai 09:30, 17 February 2007 (CST)
