- Flashlight: Optional, helps test for Raiju and visibility.
- Parabolic Microphone (Optional): For completing objectives or Banshee tests.
🏠 Step 3: Setup Phase
- Secure a Hiding Spot:
- Choose a closet or room.
- Place a crucifix nearby for safety.
- Prepare Behavior Tests:
- Wraith: Use salt to check for missing footprints.
- Raiju: Place electronics nearby and observe movement speed.
- Poltergeist: Watch for rapid object throws during hunts.
- Optional Objectives:
Set up paramic or motion sensors near spawn to complete secondary goals.
👻 Step 4: Identify Ghosts Without Evidence
With evidence turned off, rely on behavior, audio cues, and footstep speeds.
🦶 Footstep Speed Analysis
- Fast Ghosts:
- Revenant: Extremely fast with line of sight
- Moroi: Speeds up as sanity drops
- Deogen: Fast far away, slow when close
- Slow Ghosts:
- Revenant (no LoS)
- Thaye (older form)
🛠 Tip: Use footstep rhythm or beat-tapping tools to measure movement speed.
🎭 Behavior-Based Identification
- Raiju: Speeds up near electronics
- Wraith: Walks through salt but leaves no footprints
- Poltergeist: Throws objects constantly (every 0.5s during hunts)
- Mimic: Inconsistent behavior across hunts
🔊 Special Traits
- Banshee: Single target; unique paramic sound
- Yokai: Short-range detection during hunts (test range with talking/electronics)
🚨 Step 5: Running the Strategy
- Start at 0% Sanity: Hunts will trigger fast.
- Trigger and Survive Hunts: Use smudge sticks to escape and reposition.
- Observe Behaviors: Log interaction patterns, movement speeds, and anomalies.
- Narrow Down the Ghost Type: Cross-reference ghost traits using a cheat sheet or tracking app.
🧠 Step 6: Ghost Type Examples
The Twins
- Varying movement speeds across hunts
- Often roam to two distinct areas
Poltergeist
- Objects thrown rapidly and repeatedly
- Observe during hunts for item “explosions”
Mimic
- Behavior shifts dramatically between hunts
- May act like Raiju one hunt and Thaye the next
✅ Step 7: Tips for Success
- Keep a Smudge Stick Ready: Always.
- Memorize Footstep Speeds: Practice helps.
- Use Cheat Sheets: Especially helpful when speed testing.
- High Hiding Spot Availability: Makes this strategy much safer and consistent.
⚠️ Common Challenges
- Difficult Ghosts to ID: Shade, Goryo, Banshee, and Hantu may require more observation or specific triggers.
- Unexpected Deaths: Always know your escape plan, and don’t underestimate early hunt risks.
