wrong answer from ouija board?

[Valendrass]

Is there a bug with the ouija board?
I was at the farmhouse and ask where he is and he answer "garage".

Hey, i've not had anything quite as wrong as this in previous games, but occasionally I have the ghost lie or mislead me into thinking the Ghost room is the other side of the house to the actual location.

For example, the Ghost room was the kitchen in the street house, but the ghost told me twice that it was the bedroom upstairs.

I've not ran into this yet, but I have had the ghost roaming around a good distance from the ghost location. I had found it in the in right wing bathroom of High school the one time, and had them open doors all the way to the front hallway on the first wing going to the front exit. If you watch them on the DoT projector (the ones you can see) they move super fast it seems at times. So chances are depending what type it is they are just moving around so much that it seems like they are in different areas possibly.

Ah, so if it is a roaming ghost, it's "favourite" room can be something other than the Ghost room?

I don't know if this is how it is or not, but I have found the ghost to find it's way around several nearby rooms to where it spawns in some cases more than it used too. However, I've also had it stay in a general area, and not the ghosts that say near their locations either. I had a Rev recently on high school that was in the power box room upstairs left wing that stayed in the room almost the entire time. With the exception of moving to the one bathroom to the right a couple of times. I am not sure if they have made the ghosts more random in nature, or if they are still working on the specifics of it. However I've only had one instance so far after a lot of leg work in the Prison Map to find out that the ghost was on the floor above in a room not too far from where I thought they was. Every sign however showed it was in the lower room where the prison phones was. ^.^; That took a while. Lol Tho I feel they just added a extra challenge to make it a bit more random tho which I'm all for. 5 to 10 minute runs before was kind of making it rough doing the smaller maps solo because they would just go by so quick. Even on HS you could get it done in less than 10 sometimes if you found the room right off before the patch.

Ghost's are able to roam around the maps now since like 3 updates ago.

Meaning they will not always be tied to there room. Just because you found evidence does not mean you have found the room, just means you found the ghost.

If you ask the ouji board " where are you?" it will give you a room, however that does not mean 100% that is the ghost room. That is just the room the ghost was in when you asked the question.

The farm houses do have garages btw, they just don't have cars in them, but you can find the tool chests, work benches, and other various things you'd find in a garage.

Farmhouse has a Garage though. It is the room at the end of the corridor that connects to the kitchen

Asking any question related to the ghost or the ghost room gives you the ghost's current location. There is no answer relating to their favorite room.

Bleasdale? There is a garage. The left-most entrance joins the room called garage.
I suggest it would be called utility room, but there is already a utility room, if I remember correctly.

This. Any 'Location' type question, regardless of phrasing, will return the ghost's CURRENT location. Yes, Even if you ask "What is your favorite room?" You get it's CURRENT location; Because that is a location type question.

Also this. It is not what would traditionally be considered a garage; Most might call it a 'workshop' i guess is the closest term. But in phasmophobia, That front left room on the first floor that has a secondary door accessing it, with the closet, workbench, heater and a thin hallway leading towards the kitchen is termed as 'Garage'. You can confirm this yourself by placing a sound sensor in that room (not the hallway) and going to check the listed name in the truck under the sensor bar :)

The developer is British so occasionally some British English slips in. The room being called a garage is an example of that. I remember there was also a fire hose or something in the prison that said anti clockwise on it.

I haven't had any issues with wrong answers, but when I was at the farmhouse the ouija board was bugged out and my partner couldn't see the board until I picked it up and placed it back down.

The ouija board wont tell you its "favorite" room but rather the room where its currently located. So thats why the reply might give you different rooms. It is though, very likely that the first room it respondes to be in is the ghost room, but its clearly not always the case as they are more prone to wandering since the recent updates.
