Mimic orb or ghost orb

[Philip Chimio]

Can you spot the difference between ghost orbs amd mimic orbs ? I have been told that mimic's one are more frequent.

iv looked for 4 signs everytime there are orbs,

[Shaelent]

I don't think there are any differences between them, I try to rule out if it's a Mimic by spiritbox, freezing temps, fingerprints and if it's mimicking more than one ghost at different times in that same session.

i have heared so many storys and official fake news about these Mimic Orbs.

someone told me these orbs switching rooms when ghost do so it must be a Mimic they said.

sad thing is these Orbis just changing rooms when ghost do its normal and i have tested it on any ghost with orbs.

what i think and that would be the right way to find out if it is a mimic i guess these Orbs never leave the room on Mimic's

so all of them who think these Orbs who changing rooms are mimic orbs when ghost change too then you are all lost i guess because all of these orb ghosts who change room the orb will do it too !

I have not discovered any different properties that mimic orbs have that regular orbs dont

I guess just keep it in the back of your mind when you find ghost orbs to check for extra evidence for mimic

Mimic orbs are identical to normal Ghost orbs. The surefire way to know if it's real or not is to keep an eye on the rest of the evidence.

When it comes down to "Is it a Hantu or a Mimic?", check the Spirit Box. If you don't get a response, the Ghost Orbs are real evidence and it's a Hantu. If you get a response, the Ghost orbs are fake evidence and it's a Mimic.

As an extension to that, the only thing that's different about the mimic's orbs is that they are separate from its 3 actual evidences and thus will never get hidden in nightmare. They are a ghost ability rather than an evidence. But otherwise the orbs behave just like any other orbs.

Thanks a lot guys for all your input ! I just got a mimic and i found it very well !

[Mandemon]

Our procedure these days is to remove Ghost Orbs from evidence list if we find it, and if Mimic is viable option we keep checking for any other evidence until we are sure (No freezing temps, no spirit box repose or no fingerprints after touching door/window)

[Philip Chimio]

@Mandemon that's the smartest thing to do

[Lywelyn]

a mimic always reply on spirit box if you find an orb prior to 2 other evidence (including spirit) don't take the orb for granted and keep investigating, especially in nightmare

My group has seen the orbs change rooms fairly frequently and also didn't necessarily have to appear in the ghost room.

[Kaisoku]

The orbs are always in the ghost room. The ghost room can change, so the orbs can move to a new room when that happens.

I seem to recall someone saying in a stream or video, offhand like, that the orbs follow the mimic. Which doesn't help much if the mimic is mostly staying near it's ghost room, so it's not exactly "hard science" (not like "Wraith's lack of footprints" or Obake's unique handprint).
Additionally, that's possibly a misunderstanding. Might have been a dev commenting about "thinking of making it" so the ghost orbs move with the Mimic.. who knows.

Mandemon's tactic is the best approach: if you see Ghost Orbs and Mimic is an option, keep checking evidence.
