In the world of Demonology, ghosts are notoriously elusive, leaving behind minimal traces. This guide will help you master the art of ghost identification within the game. Unraveling these spectral mysteries hinges on careful observation and the strategic use of your tools.
How to Identify Ghosts in Demonology
The key to identifying ghosts lies within your in-game journal's evidence page. This page meticulously tracks your findings, allowing you to systematically eliminate possibilities until you pinpoint the ghost type. Clicking on an evidence type refines your search; clicking again removes it if you find it's not relevant.
Below is a comprehensive list of ghost types, their corresponding evidence, strengths, weaknesses, and additional notes:
| Ghost Type | Evidence | Strengths and Weaknesses | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Spirit** |    | • None | • Generally harmless |
| **Wraith** |   | + Depletes hunter energy – Cannot cross salt lines | • Aggressive |
| **Ghoul** |   | + Easily provoked by sound – Cannot disable electronics | • Mostly non-aggressive |
| **Phantom** | | + Very fast – Does not hunt in groups | • Mostly timid |
| **Shadow** | | + Slightly alters room temperature – Less active in bright light | • Very docile |
| **Demon** | | + Hunts frequently | • Extremely aggressive |
| **Specter** | | + Throws items frequently – Rarely roams unless hunting | • Stays in one room |
| **Entity** | | + Can teleport – Rarely throws items | • Hard to detect |

| **Banshee** | | + Breaks glass frequently | • Mostly docile |

| **Revenant** | | + Very low hunt cooldown – Rests after killing a hunter | • Extremely aggressive |
Remember to diligently record your findings in your journal, crossing out any evidence that doesn't match the ghost's behavior. This process of elimination will efficiently narrow down the possibilities and guide your equipment choices.
Collecting Evidence
Each ghost leaves three distinct traces. Use the appropriate equipment to gather evidence:
- Laser Projector: Reveals ghosts as faint silhouettes.
- Handprints: Use a blacklight to find fingerprints or footprints.
- Spirit Box: Engage in conversation with the ghost; responses may not be immediate.
- EMF Level 5: An EMF reader will light up fully with certain ghosts.
- Ghost Orb: A video camera can capture ghosts as small white orbs.
- Freezing Temps: A thermometer detects significant temperature drops.
- Ghost Writing: A spirit book may be written on by the ghost.
