Spawn (Nightfall)

Spawn away from campfire cluster. Identify nearest cover: bush, cave, or building. Turn lantern off if climbing planned. Note giant TV spawn direction.

12:00–1:00 AM — Setup Window

Reach first cover position without sprinting unless giant visible. Scout relocation path to position B. Read hiding guide.

1:00 AM Pulse

Highlighted ~10s. Giant paths toward you. Exit toward position B immediately after fade. E-sprint if killer commits.

2:00–3:00 AM

Second and third pulses demand different map zones. Forest: rotate outer ring. City: change rooftop sector. Never reuse position A.

4:00 AM Pulse

5:00 AM — Final Highlight

Last reveal. Be adjacent to final safe pocket, not mid-transition. Giants burn abilities here.

5:00–6:00 AM — Sunrise Sprint

Hold position or short reposition only. Survival = 100–200 coins. Calculator: coin tool. Giant perspective: giant walkthrough.
