  • The hermit is one of the few characters in the game that the player can get two different journal entries for, from both Arthur and John.
  • Getting into a gunfight with the hermit is dangerous, as he will kill the player with one shot, no matter their health. The others including the Night Folk, the Vampire, and Sheriff Freeman.
