Ghost hunting even though there are 2 crucifixes on the room

[Turiam]

So this is already the 2nd time that happens, the ghost didn't change favourite room, it has 2 crucifixes on the room totalling to 3 charges because it used 1 charge. Out of nowhere, it begins hunting. Is this a bug or what is happening?

If the ghost wanders outside of the crucifixes' effective range, it will start a hunt without setting one off. It doesn't need to change its favorite room to do that.

That's the problem, the map was Tanglewood, I had both Crucifixes Tier 2 near the car. When the ghost started hunting it was inside the garage, which I believe the Tier 2 covers the whole area

Unfortunately that is not the case. The room is *juuust* wide enough that a T2 Crucifix cannot completely reach wall to opposite wall in there.

It also does not help that the car is directly in the way for maximum room coverage, especially for the back side of the room (the front side you can at least put it on the car hood)

So all in all, you just got unlucky with the ghost finding a place to sneak in... it happens.

Oh... and it needs to be said as well... but if it was Twins and it chose the "fast twin"... then the Crucifix wouldn't have helped you anyway. This is due to the special hunt rules they have - the TL:DR is that they have a 50% chance to teleport to their last long range interaction *after* a crucifix check, essentially allowing them to hunt remotely, and possibly appear to start within the range of a crucifix as a result.

It was a Banshee, and I had one crucifix on one side of the car and the other on the other side. But maybe, it's like you said I thought they were covering the room and they weren't

Game is super buggy right now, I've never seen it this bad

It sounds like it found a corner that wasn't covered and you got unlucky.

For that, I like to place each crucifix on either side of the car. But, it sounds like there might've been a space they just weaseled into. It happens.

I had the same problem last night on point hope. 2 crosses on Wine Floor. And nothing...

I really wonder if Point Hope's verticality comes into play there. If you've got the T2 or T3 crucifixes, I'd start placing one in the middle of the ghost room and then place one either on the floor above or below depending on where it sits and potential hiding places on those floors.
