Coat hanger
The coat hanger is a one-use weapon you cannot sprint with. It breaks Clark's peg leg for about two minutes, knocks the Mimic away, and briefly stuns Misprint. On anything else it just snaps.
Where it spawns
The Fandom page says “six fixed spawns” and then lists seven: two in Unseen Empire, three around the Lobby and The End, one beside the Family Tree in Liminal Home, and one in the Liminal Hotel vent or Bellhop corridor. I print that disagreement instead of picking six or seven. Since V2.41 a taken hanger returns in 15 minutes; before that the page said 20.
Picking one up inside Unseen Empire has a 40% chance to start an alarm on that page alone. I mark 40% as one source.
What a hit does
Clark: crawl for about two minutes, 10 shards, and the Timber badge. Mimic: the disguise ends and you get 20 shards. Misprint: a short stun. Bellhop: the hit angers it and it kills. Other entities destroy the hanger and nothing else happens. V2.4 on 9 Oct 2026 added the item.
