Did you know?

In early development, all Killers were originally able to choose between sacrificing and outright killing survivors when they brought a player down. This form for the Mori was eventually scrapped as it was felt that it gave too great an advantage to the Killers.

How to perform a Mori in Dead by Daylight

To perform a Mori, you’ll need to unlock and equip a Memento Mori, load into a match as a Killer, and bring a Survivor into their dying state. Then use the interact button to perform the move.

First thing’s first, you’ll need a Memento Mori offering. There are three types you can pick up in-game by investing into your Bloodweb as a Killer. They each allow you to Mori when meeting slightly different conditions.

• Cypress Memento Mori (Uncommon) – Lets the Killer perform a Mori on the last remaining Survivor in the Trials when they’re in a dying state.
• Ivory Memento Mori (Rare) – Allows the Killer to perform a Mori on one Survivor per match when they’re in the dying state and have progressed two hook stages (i.e. have been captured and placed on a hook twice previously).
• Ebony Memento Mori (Ultra Rare) – Gives the Killer the power to Mori all Survivors who are in dying state and have progressed two hook stages.

The key here is to get a Survivor in a dying state first. This is the term used for when a Survivor has been hit by a basic attack or a power attack twice, and goes prone on the ground until they recover or the Killer picks them up.

Can you Mori Survivors without hooking them?

There are a small handful of Killers who have the ability to Mori Survivors in Dead by Daylight without first hooking them, though this only occurs in special circumstances.

• The Shape can Mori using the Evil Within combined with a Tombstone Piece or Judith’s Tombstone add-on.
• The Pig can use Jigsaw’s Baptism.
• The Executioner can use Rites of Judgment
• The Onryo can use Deluge of Fear

Note though that some of these Mori will not count towards unlocking achievements.

That’s everything you should need to know to Mori Survivors in Dead by Daylight. Make sure you know how to get Killers fast if you want to make use of the most stylish finishing moves out there. If you’re playing as a Survivor though, it might be worth learning how to find the hatch to boost your chances at escape.
