Rather than the Beholder, it’s Vecna who’ll be the D&D-inspired killer when the chapter launches on June 3rd (though you can give it a go right now in the game’s Public Test Build). The Mercer-voiced lich will have four spells - a first for DBD - to wield, including the power to fly, fire off a hail of nasty projectiles, lift up or drop wooden pallets using D&D favourite Mage Hand, and negate magical items and reveal survivors in a Dispelling Sphere.
Those magical items can include Vecna’s own Hand and Eye, which can be found in treasure chests around the new Forgotten Ruins map alongside other magical items that help survivors to move more quietly or teleport between lockers. When those chests are opened, the game will roll the classic d20 to see what players find, granting Vecna’s powerful gear on a nat 20 - though a critical fail will cause trouble for them instead.
