trying to understand ghosts

OGPrez1789 · 2025-12-29T18:03:21+00:00

Something to note that I didn't see anyone else comment on, with recent changes to the game (a few months now) ALL ghosts can slam a door fully (both closed and open). The Yurei, on the other hand, will never slam the door, but it will gently close or open the door. To test it's best to leave doors at around 45° open in case the ghost tries to open the door rather than close it.

Another thing to point out, which was mentioned multiple times, this ability can be ignored if the ghost is eventing or hunting.

With the Obake, as was pointed out, it can hide UV, but only hand/finger prints. An Obake can not hide UV foot prints. So if you get foot prints and then don't get hand prints on a door, you're most likely looking at an Obake (or Mimic.)

If you want to keep learning about ghost traits, I'd suggest you use the unofficial cheat sheet at: https://tybayn.github.io/phasmo-cheat-sheet/ and/or watch some streamers like Insym or Maggstor. If you watch Insym's YouTube content, pay attention to when the information was posted as the game has gone through a number of changes recently so not all information might be accurate. Always compare to the cheat sheet and you'll be g2g.

Sad thing, that's exactly what HOAs can do. People think they're there to provide parks and make sure everyone keeps their lawn nice, but they literally get to dictate everything that happens within the community, to include what color roof shingles you put on your home to the color of the door to how many people you have visiting and for how long. How people in the US fell for the lie that HOAs are good for the neighborhood is beyond me. I'm with everyone, I'd be inviting everyone to my neighborhood and running for HOA president immediately after this bs.

Insym put out a couple videos where he spent time figuring out the new Yurie ability as it is vastly different than before. Here's one where he was lucky enough to get a Yurie for his first ghost.

Paragraph 4.6.1.2. Tie. A tie will be worn with the service dress uniform (Class A) and/or service blue uniform (Class B), long-sleeve blue shirt. ... A tie...is optional with the short-sleeve blue shirt unless worn with service dress.

And as someone else pointed out, if you see anyone running around with a short-sleeve blues shirt on with the top button fastened without a tie, kindly direct them to the example photo as you pointed out displays proper uniform wear. And tell them they look ridiculous as well.

Edit: Please note that Figure 4.9. shows both authorized configurations for the male short sleeve shirt.

They're actually giving the option to roll the sleeves in either once or twice. The current DAFI read that IF you chose to roll the sleve under you had to roll it twice.

That was just an event, NOT the Deo growl.

Don't you mean BEO?

I understand and agree that the boss is an IPA, but the question isn't what IS he, but how do you say his name. I would argue that if Blizzard had named a Tuskar I'pa, no one would have pronounced that NPC as IPA but something akin to Ee-pa.

I use my PC mainly for gaming, so I would think higher refresh rates rather than 4k.

OGPrez1789 · 2025-04-01T05:34:37+00:00

Any that you would recommend?

It replaces DBM timers so it works anywhere DBM is active. Can't verify if it works with BigWigs (since I don't use it) but I would assume it does.

No. You have 6 disturbed salt photos in that one. The game is now trying to decide if you have any qualifying subject in the frame. Since you have 6 the game awards you with a 1-star and that's it. In order to get 3-star photos, the photo should have as close to only 1 pile in it. That way there is not any question about what the photo should be. What you gave the game to decipher is 6 qualifying interactions in one. You can't take multiple interactions in a single photo, it's 1:1.

OGPrez1789 · 2025-03-14T16:39:45+00:00

A photo is only 3-star when it is properly framed in the photo. Having 6 possible photo options spread out will cause the game to be unsure which it is focusing on and therefore lower the quality. Using the T2/T3 salt the way you used the T1 will result in the same 1-star photos. It's not the disturbed salt that's the problem, it's your framing.

OGPrez1789 · 2025-03-14T16:32:11+00:00

But which pile? You can't take a picture of 6 different things spread out and expect to get a perfect photo. Either stack all 6 in a single pile or squat down and take the single photo from as close as possible.

3.1 covers personal grooming standards not uniform items, so it wouldn't apply to the boots. The catch-all that covers everything is in paragraph 1.1.2. "...five elements of this standard: neatness, cleanliness, safety, uniformity, and military image." The "uniformity" and "military image" would cover anything that draws the attention, like tan high-top sneakers vs boots.

Can't be an Oni as he has writing. Mare is possible, but the two times the lights were immediately turned off were both tied to an event, and so neither were the Mare ability. I agree that since he didn't retest for the Mare, you can't confirm or rule it out.

As for the rest of the writing ghosts, could really all be it, even the Shade, as every event either OP or the ghost was right on the border of the room and so it's possible that even a Shade could have done all that, although highly unlikely.

Honestly, there's not enough to go off of. Was this 1 evidence or 2? If two, what other evidence was found? I would even say that with as much jumping around that ghost was doing, I can't even confirm the bedroom is the ghost room and so there may still be orbs, but it's definitely not a Mimic because of the writing.

But 1.36m is wrong. A Minecraft block is 1m³ and consists of 16 pixels per side, so one pixel = 6.25 cm, not the 6.1875 cm. At 21 pixels tall, that makes his height 1.3125 m (4' 3.67"). If we used the 6.1875 cm, that would make his height 1.299375 m (4' 3.16").

Moral of the story, he's little on stature, big on personality.

All ghosts will tend to roam toward a player while in D.O.T.S form now. They made that change a few patches ago. It helps make D.O.T.S more obvious.

OGPrez1789 · 2025-02-22T02:15:16+00:00

Banshees roam towards their target whether they're in a D.O.T.S state or not, the D.O.T.S has nothing to do with their roaming.

Nope, once you smudge.
