Paranormal Activity

[LionBuster]

What are the paranormal activities to fulfill the secondary objective?

Cuales son las actividades paranormales para cumplir el objetivo secundario?

Thanks!

Are you asking about the “witness ghost activity” objective?

[Victimise]

I am not sure but I believe things like the Ghost making the phone ring or moving things inside a room should count as a ghost activity.

You just have to be there to witness it.

yep

Hunt mode definitly doesnt fulfill the objective
The Ghost just manifesting without huntin does trigger it

From what I've heard, I believe things like opening doors, flickering lights, ghost appearances (not hunts), throwing objects, sink water, and telephone ringing would be considered a ghost event to witness. I'm not 100% sure on all of those, but you're welcome to go and have fun experimenting a little since that's a lot what this game's about.

opening doors no. flickering lights no. throwing objects no. sink water no. I have witnessed all these events and he has not counted me for the mission. But it could be a glitch in the game, right?

I'm pretty sure you need the ghost to manifest (not as a hunt) in some form. Either appearing or have it make some noise in the room you are in. Hissing, growling, moaning, stuff like that.

Can confirm that Doors opening/closing and Lights going on/off Do NOT count. Was standing at the door to the ghost's room and asked for a sign, it spammed the lights and slammed the door on my face. Didn't get the objective until I had seen the ghost.

In short, the only thing that counts is witnessing the ghost then.

There's a difference between Ghost interactions, and ghost events... and got the most part, the EMF reader will tell you which experience you're getting..

Ghost interactions

Ghosts have a 5-in-12 chance of doing random interactions such as opening doors, throwing props, and writing in ghost books, after satisfying the insanity check above
Random ghost interactions, including sounds, turning on faucets, moving items, teleporting items, etc, do not generate EMF spots.

Being within 3m of a Jinn instantly drops your sanity by 25%

Ghost Events

Ghost events for the optional objective occur as part of random ghost interactions

Ghosts have a 10-in-15 chance (which changes to 10-in-13 on higher difficulties) to enter a randomEvent phase

After all these checks, it can either:
appear to the player, and create a Ghost Appeared (Level 4) EMF Spot

turn off light switches

slam doors shut, and create a Ghost Appeared (Level 4) EMF Spot

spawn a random player's model, play a scream if the spawned model or ghost is within 2m of the player

This one doesn't seem to be implemented, as the game contains code to select a random player model, but never uses it

A ghost event will decrease a random player's insanity by 20% (not sure if this is intended)

Actually from what I have seen experiencing a ghost event actually increases your sanity. 99% sure it's a bug, at least I reaally hope so.

But if I look in the truck and see 60s sanity, go in and see the ghost manifest, it will be in the 80s when I check again most of the time.

I also frequently notice rather large differences in sanity levels, one player usually has a much higher percentage after events happen.
