Curse of rougarou lead investigator eliminated??? spoilers

By monorico, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Does the Curse of the Rougarou weakness get discarded or passed if the lead investigator dies? From reading other forms sounds like the weakness would just get discarded (which makes sense).

Does the Lead Investigator "gain" this weakness? All I see is that it is added to there threat area, I don't see anywhere were it says they gain it?

WARNING ENDING SPOILER QUESTION:

This is a question for the alternate ending, R3

If the lead investigator is eliminated and the weakness does get discarded, does anyone get the asset Monstrous Transformation? I can't remember the exact wording on the R3 and I don't have it in front of me, but I thought it said that the person afflicted by the Curse gets the asset Monstrous Transformation.

It depends on what you mean by Eliminated. If their horror or damage ever equals their damage or health, they are eliminated, but this is not the same as being killed nor driven insane. That only happens if they are permanently eliminated from trauma*. Otherwise for the next scenario, he would still have earned any Assets dictated by the Resolution, even if he didn't see the scenario play out to its conclusion.

*Trauma is a permanent starting horror/damage as a result of being eliminated in a previous scenario. If Roland gets eliminated from horror on scenario #1, he suffers 1 mental trauma, which means he'll start every scenario for the rest of the campaign already with 1 horror. If he gets eliminated from horror in yet another scenario, he has 2 mental trauma and will start every scenario with 2 horror, so on and so on. Additionally, various Resolutions assign mental or physical trauma to Investigators. The only true Elimination, in which an Investigator is not allowed to participate at all anymore in the campaign and their deck is "destroyed", is once trauma equals their base stats, so if Roland suffered his 5 trauma, for example.

And yep, the Curse is discarded if the lead investigator leaves play for any reason. It has been ruled that being added to the threat area counts as having gained that card as part of that player's deck, and that player's deck only, until a scenario instruction lets you remove it.

If you get R3, then the person who got the Curse also gets the Monstrous Transformation asset. If that investigator was eliminated, they still get the Monstrous Transformation asset, since weaknesses are permanently added to your deck when you gain them.

So the curse doesn't actually get discarded if the lead investigator leaves play, it gets added to their deck and depending on the resolution you either keep the weakness, discard it, or keep it AND add the monstrous transformation asset.
