Issue Description:

Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]

  1. Play Athel Yenlui or Hunger in the Darkness as Kruber (Hunter)
  2. Encounter a hook rat either in the forests where there’s lots of cliffs that you can get snagged on; if you get hook by a rat at any point during your trek through the forest and your character or ally gets hooked, the hook rat can run up a slope and over a cliff yet your character stays snagged on the cliff face and makes the hook go extendo-mode. Seriously the hook rat will be like a mile away and off the map still dragging at your character and its hook as it extends all the way out there. ALSO, at the very end of HitD where you have to fight one troll. Hook rats can walk into the pen with someone hooked making it impossible to hit the hookrat. The player character can’t pass through the door, only the entity but it should be addressed as it makes the hookrat invincible and unable to hit. This isn’t just an issue with HitD, any invisible wall that the hookrat can pass through and your character can’t this can happen. The hookrat needs to act as a player entity when it hooks you otherwise stuff like this can happen.
  3. In Athel Yenlui trek around the forests for a bit around cliffs especially. In HitD just make your way to the boss room and wait for a hook rat, don’t ring the bell.
  4. Get hooked. In the first scenario the hook rat will just walk up and around the cliff as that’s the shortest path it’s going to take but you’ll get snagged on the cliff and away the hook rat goes. As for the HitD get hooked near one of the greenish glowing doors. This works with any invisible wall that enemies can pass through but players can’t as i’ve stated before but it’s the easiest to recreate here. One hooked the hook rat will try and drag you through the door but it can’t since it can pass through but YOU the player can’t. So instead there’s a wall that’s took long for most weapons to hit through and no cracks to shoot an arrow through.

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:

Reproduction Rate:
50-75%, it really depends on how derpy the hook rat AI becomes. But it’s one of those things that if it does happen it’s essentially a game ender. Especially if you’re in the middle of a wave.

Upload Supporting Evidence:
Wasn’t fast enough to get a screencap but it is fairly easy to recreate, it just mainly depends on what the AI is going to do with you once it has you.
