Spiritual Possession

Effect details

Spiritual Possession
Campaign: Factions Type: Consumable effect Consumable: Lunar Fortune

Maddening voices whisper in your ear. The world swirls around you as the voices grow louder....

Acquisition

• Using a Lunar Fortune

Notes

• Works only in Explorable areas
• Has the effects of drunk, but does not make your drunkard title track go up. Also unlike being drunk, it does not wear off until you leave the zone. Not even death can remove it.
• The "Drunk blur" special effect this causes can be disabled by unchecking "Post-Processing Effects" box in the video section of the options menu, allowing you to continue throughout the mission unaffected by the screen distortion.
• Consuming any alcoholic drinks removes the blur effect for ~2 seconds when the alcohol blur kicks in and removes it once again for ~2 seconds when the alcohol blur is supposed to wear off.

• There are many references that use "Klaatu barada nikto!". It originates from the 1951 Cold-War-era science fiction film The Day The Earth Stood Still. The phrase "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" was used to stop Gort, the robot in the film, from destroying the world. The spinoff "Klaatu barada necktie?" is from the Army of Darkness, in which Ash has to speak similar words in order to retrieve the Necronomicon. He fails to remember it properly ("Klaatu... verada... necktie?") and thus awakens a horde of malicious Deadites.
