Vestige is one of the fifteen Hosts featured in HOURS. It can be obtained by completing the stage Light Beneath Closed Eyes.

Description

Vestige is a long-ranged host which can blast many enemies while being out of their range. His mobility also allows him to stay away from enemies and further enhances his role.

Upon reaching Phase 2 of Light Beneath Closed Eyes, the game shows its true name, Trickshot.

Appearance

Vestige appears as a grey and black humanoid wearing a black cowboy hat and wielding many gun-like weapons. His icon is marked on his face.

Playstyle

Vestige is the only free non-hidden ranged-based host. He has many different play styles, primarily focusing around critical hits and keeping distance from enemies.

To utilise Vestige properly, the player is required to keep their distance from enemies at all times and rely on their long range shots to pick enemies off one by one. Since Vestige is very weak when up close, many people who begin to use Vestige pick upgrades which increase their critical hit chance since it allows Vestige to heal faster, but without these you can use the Backflip ability to create space. Tempos which allow Vestige to roam around a stage freely are also recommended.

Tips and Tricks

Trivia

• Back when HOURS was in development, Vestige's Name was "Gunblaze", and his full title was "Snake Eyed, Cat Eyed, Eagle Eyed--Trickshot Dox-Enigma Riddle-Major, Sole Survivor of the Guild of the Guilty"
  • "Riddle Major" would proceed to become the true name of Subject.
• Vestige's AI is currently the most intelligent in Endless Timeless and Multiplayer mode
• You can tell whether or not a bullet will be a critical hit by the color of the bullet trail (A critical bullet's trail is brighter) or the sound it makes when fired (The blast sound effect is followed by an electrical zap)
• The term Vestige means something that is disappearing or no longer exists
  • He is likely named vestige because the description for his true name on the buttons menu says "They say the eyes are the window to your soul, and only half of his soul remains" which is why he only has one eye. His name represents the fact that he is the vestige of his soul.
• Fire Aspect's name may be a reference to Minecraft's enchantment of the same name which causes entities to burn when attacked with the enchanted weapon.
• Disabling Auto Aim will decrease the difficulty of the Resident Mind Phase Two Clone.
• Vestige has by far the hardest Resident Mind Phase Two Clone due to it having extremely smart AI. A Tempo that helps to defeat Resident Mind Phase Two Clone is recommended for beating the game with vestige on any difficulty, especially seconds difficulty as it is nearly impossible to beat the clone without a good tempo to counter it on seconds difficulty.
