How Nosferatu Works in Forsaken, Roblox’s New Vampire

Nosferatu is the seventh playable Killer in Forsaken, and he plays very differently from most other Killers in the game. Instead of relying on raw strength, he focuses on stealth, map control, crowd manipulation, and smart ability combos.

Introduced as the main feature of The Masquerade Halloween event, Nosferatu later becomes part of the permanent Killer roster. He is a vampire who floats, controls space with blood and bats, and hunts survivors from the ground and the air.

This guide explains how Nosferatu works, his abilities, stats, and best ways to play him, using simple words and clear examples.

Who Is Nosferatu in Forsaken?

In Forsaken’s lore, Nosferatu is a vampire who grew tired of hierarchy and control. He terrorized Roblox until he was taken away. In-game, he proudly boasts his power and enjoys isolating survivors before feeding on them.

That theme carries directly into gameplay:

• He floats instead of walking

• He controls space with blood trails

• He pulls survivors with hooks

• He turns into a bat and attacks from above

How to Unlock Nosferatu in Forsaken

During The Masquerade Halloween Event

Nosferatu is unlocked using Sukkars, the event currency.

To get him:

1. Unlock all Masquerade skins

2. Reach the final tier in the Masquerade track

3. Purchase Nosferatu for 3500 Sukkars

How to Earn Sukkars

• Survivors: Loot Sukkars from random map spawns

• Killers: Earn Sukkars by defeating survivors

After the Event Ends

Once the event is over:

• Nosferatu moves to the regular Killer shop

• He can be bought with standard currency (Player Points / coins)

• His abilities and stats remain unchanged

---

Nosferatu as an NPC Shopkeeper

Nosferatu also appears in the lobby as an NPC:

• He sits in a hidden basement

• He plays an organ

• He runs the Masquerade shop

Extra features:

• Players can bribe him once per hour with Player Points to get Sukkars

• He sells event-exclusive Masquerade skins

---

Passive Ability: Levitation

Levitation is always active.

What it does:

• Nosferatu floats above the ground

• He makes no footstep sounds

• No cooldown

This makes him very hard to track by sound. Survivors must rely on:

• Terror Radius

• Visual movement

Sneaking up on survivors is much easier with Levitation.

Main Attack: Lacerate

Lacerate is Nosferatu’s basic claw attack.

Stats:

• Cooldown: 2 seconds

• Windup: 0.3 seconds

• Linger: 0.3 seconds

• Range: 7.5 studs

• Damage: 24

He slashes forward in a short arc. Lacerate is best used between abilities to finish off survivors.

Alt Ability 1: Bloodhook

Bloodhook is Nosferatu’s main ranged control ability.

Stats:

• Cooldown: 20 seconds

• Windup: 0.9 seconds

• Initial Damage: 15

• Bonus Damage: 20 (kick)

How it works:

1. Nosferatu throws a blood hook forward

2. If it hits, the survivor is tethered

3. A tug-of-war minigame begins

4. If fully pulled in, Nosferatu kicks them away

Risk and Reward:

• Landing it deals big damage

• Missing causes Helpless

• Successful use applies Slowness II to Nosferatu briefly

Bloodhook Tips

• Use on isolated survivors

• Close range makes escape almost impossible

• Use walls and tight spaces to limit dodging

---

Alt Ability 2: Cataclysm

Cataclysm turns Nosferatu into a moving danger zone.

Stats:

• Cooldown: 20 seconds

• Explosion Damage: 10

• Blood Trail Debuffs: Bleeding III + Slowness II

How it works:

• Nosferatu dashes forward at high speed

• He becomes invisible during the dash

• He explodes into bats at the end

• He returns to his start point

• A blood trail remains on the ground

Survivors who touch the trail are slowed and bleed.

Cataclysm Tips

• Use it to block escape paths

• Place trails near objectives

• Combine with Bloodhook for easy pulls

---

Alt Ability 3: Hunter’s Feast (With Redirect)

Hunter’s Feast sends a swarm of bats forward.

Stats:

• Cooldown: 20 seconds

• Damage: 5

• Survivor Debuffs: Creatures I + Oblivious I

• Nosferatu Buffs: Invisibility IV + Undetectable

Special Feature: Redirect

• You can redirect the bats once per cast

• Aim them toward your cursor mid-flight

Hunter’s Feast Tips

• Wait for survivor dodges before redirecting

• Use stealth buff to reposition

• Great setup for Bloodhook or Ascension

---

Alt Ability 4: Ascension and Dismount

This is Nosferatu’s most iconic ability.

Ascension

• Cooldown: 30 seconds

• Nosferatu turns into a bat

• He gains flight and speed

• Terror Radius is reduced

• No stamina regen while flying

Dismount

• Dive-bomb attack from the air

• Damage: 40 total (5 bite + 35 throw)

• Missing causes Slowness III and Helpless

Ascension Tips

• Use it to scout from above

• Dive when survivors are distracted or tired

• Avoid using at very low stamina

---

How Nosferatu Plays in Real Matches

Nosferatu is a hybrid Killer:

• Stealth: Levitation + Hunter’s Feast

• Pick Potential: Bloodhook + Dismount

• Zone Control: Cataclysm blood trails

He is strongest when abilities are chained, not spammed.

Example combo:

1. Cataclysm to slow paths

2. Bloodhook to pull survivor

3. Lacerate or Dismount to finish

---

General Strategy Tips for Nosferatu

• Focus on isolated survivors

• Plan Cataclysm routes before casting

• Use Hunter’s Feast early in chases

• Use Ascension as an opener, not mid-fight

• Avoid fighting groups after self-debuffs

---

Nosferatu’s Lore Importance

Nosferatu is more than just a Killer:

• He is tied to The Spectre

• Runs the Masquerade from the shadows

• First NPC to become a playable Killer

• First Killer released without skins at launch

His dialogue shows open hatred for the player, reinforcing his god-like role in Forsaken’s story.

Final Thoughts

Nosferatu is not about brute force. He is about control, timing, and fear. When played well, he turns the map into a hunting ground where danger can come from:

• Silent hallways

• Blood-covered floors

• Or the sky above

For players willing to master his abilities, Nosferatu is one of the most rewarding Killers in Forsaken.
