The Red Circle of Oculus is notably known as a summoning circle found at the center point of all maps in Midnight Horrors. It is the origin point where all killers are summoned from in a given map and one of the most dangerous areas to be in after the intermission has ended.
Appearance[]
In most maps, it frequently appears as a ritual circle emitting red particles, a dark-red portal thing that is emitted on the floor of it, chain-beam coming out of the floor, surrounding the base of the ritual, with the avatar of the Oculus being found at the center of the circle. In many indoors maps (e.g Conundrum's Challenge), a ceiling and chain beam supports may be integrated with the Red Circle of Oculus. The Red Circle of Oculus also makes a constant humming that can be heard from around 20 studs.
The Red Circle of Oculus may also be replaced by something else entirely in certain maps, such as the mob spawnpoint found in the BSP map, or in certain maps like Daydream the Red Circle of Oculus is invisible.
Notes[]
- Players may place Yolkster Plants in order to trip Killers as soon as they are summoned, giving them more time to run away and survive the round.
- In minigame events and boss rounds, the Red Circle of Oculus is instead the spawn-point of the players, such as the 8 Pages minigame.
Trivia[]
- The Red Circle of Oculus has correlations to the main antagonist of Midnight Horrors, Oculus.
- The Red Circle of Oculus is inspired by the Pentagram.
- In older versions, the Red Circle of Oculus was simply a pentagram and may generate voice clips from time to time.
- In it's second version before Version 1.37.0 it used to have a ceiling that can be modified depending on how tall the map’s roof is.
- If the map doesn’t have a roof, the ceiling won’t come with it.
- During Version 1.20.0 (April Fools' 2021) the noise the Red Circle of Oculus makes was changed to this.
- During Version 1.55.0 (April Fools' 2024) the noise the Red Circle of Oculus makes was changed to this theme, it also would make random sounds.
- During Version 1.61.0 (April Fools' 2025) the noise the Red Circle of Oculus makes was changed to a French song and it would make random sounds again like last year.
