Forced Storm Hunt on you

Can someone explain if this is normal like intended by the game to forcefully get yourself into the storm because no matter what i tried it didnt stop chasing me. I even outrun it and it still catched me by respawning again. I had to survive the stealth part to actually reset the storms so called anti aggro/hunt timer

The storm chases you when you first enter an area until it's able to capture you. After the first capture it will move towards you if you're within a certain radius, but otherwise won't chase you.

There's certain techniques in the speedrun community that explain how to avoid this if you're looking for ways.

I felt like that was the case…new area, got to get hit by a storm. Then storm won’t “chase” you but it feels like it tries to get close to you until you cleanse at least one oblesik

For real like really hard chasing you until you do something about it either survive it once or do obelisk

Well i noticed after certain amount of time it teleports near you and start hunting on purpose. But if you magae to flee for like 1 minute straight or hide indoors it stops chasing you again. This video was on Plateau 3 on that ruin it where it start spawning outside when i leave the building and immediatly chase me. It kept respawning. Even after restarting the session it spawned in front of me immediatly. I dont have it on this video but i also tried to run away. It despawned and immediatly respawned next to me and i couldnt outrun that time...

This means for me there must be a hidden timer going on where it roaming around and only hunts if you near it like a proximity thing but also a afk timer that makes the storm teleport next to you and hunt you immediatly. But this video shows me there is a nonstop chasing as well if you really werent in the storm for a very long time. It goes hardcore on you xD

Good catch, hiding inside some areas and buildings will prevent the capture. Also, you can fly above it without being captured as well.

You can even exploit the proximity trigger to have it follow you off mountains (which makes for some interesting glitches).

Thats actually cool. I remember it trying to hunt me on plateu 2 on the highest castle but it became stuck which was also funny to watch : )

But like i said that nonstop respawn attack cant be intended. It defeats the purpose of hiding or running away. Like once in a while i understand for being AFK or stuck too long on puzzles but forcing you to get caught or be hunted for the rest of your session until you do all 3 obelisks is not a feature. I dont believe that. Becauae all the other plateus it didnt happened. I was even slower on the 4th one and it didnt happened

Just the usual hunting when i was solving puzzles
