[EN] Ghost Exile - A Guide (W.I.P.)

A guide to Ghost Exile with information on the entire game

Quickstart Tips

New to Ghost Exile? Good news though, they added the tutorial to get you introduced to the basics!
If you have played other ghost hunting games, you should feel familiar with most things but if you haven't, that's okay too.

So this is based off entirely my own experience with the game so far so there are other ways to go about things... but..
--
When you 1st start in GE, you start as level 1 with very little money... but good news. If you go to the tutorial area, once completed, you get $300 and a free copy of the Book of Exile and a can of SprayPaint. *Newly added in previous update* **Note2: You will lose items upon death**

1. Before going into your 1st game, please check that all additional features are turned off to start.


- By turning off all the features, you can slowly add things back into the game when you have all the necessary equipment and know-how to successfully complete the additional tasks.
- *Note: I would suggest turning on these features one by one once you familiarize yourself with the mechanic of each before turning multiples on*

2. Starting off, they give you access to the basic tools to help identify your ghost.
Starting equipment should be:

• EMF Detector - used for collecting EMF 5 evidence
  
• Voice Recorder - used for Voice Recorder Response evidence
  
• Motion / Infrared Sensor - used to determine infrared if light turns orange
  
• UV Flashlight - used on doors to see Ectoplasm
  
• Notebook - placed on ground, if written in, you have ghost writing
  
• Spirit Box - talk into this with your voice key and ask questions, if you get a response, it's evidence
  
• Video Camera - used for Haze and Ghost Orb evidence
  
• Thermometer - used to determine if Freezing temps are present or not
  
• PEK Meter - Analyzing ghost spectrum, Level 3 signal strength is evidence
  
• Laser Grid - Tool used to determine Laser Projection evidence

3. Your Ghost Equipment and Monitoring Container
- In the most recent update, we now have a shipping container with all of our stuff instead of a tent.
Here you will find: Your Hunting Equipment, Ritual Equipment, Activity Board, Sanity Tracker, Video Camera Monitor and your Task List.



3a. Objective Board
- Inside your equipment/monitoring container you will find an objective board
- The 2 Main Objective will always be the same; however, you optional objectives will change each game.

- The Optional objectives will turn green as you complete them.

4. Your journal plays the biggest part in GE, giving you instructions, keeping track of pictures taken, tracking evidence to determine ghost type and allowing you to know which exile ritual to do once you figure out what ghost is in the house.
- *Note: It's best to start off your 1st games just identifying the ghost and leaving to save up your money to buy additional equipment and Level up to level 2 to access all the equipment in the shop.*

5. One of the first things I would recommend buying now is the Photo Camera which costs $80 and will allow you to take photos of things for extra cash. *Cash rewards added in the most recent update*
o A list of things that can be photographed and receive awards:

• Player corpse
  
• Ouija Board (Always found in the house)
  
• Traces on salt (Footprints)
  
• Bloody inscription (Writing on walls)
  
• Ghost
  
• Ghost Note
  
• Pictures or writing in notebook
  
• Favorite item
  
• Destroyed Seal
  
• Portal to ghost world
  
• Portal to the world of Shadows
  
• Hand print on doors (Need UV light to see, wont be shown on picture currently)

6. Identify your ghost by marking your evidence in your journal, Click once to Check mark it if the evidence is present, Click again to put an X if the evidence is not present. Click a 3rd time to reset it to blank.
- After Identifying, select your ghost on the right side to be shown what ritual to perform from the book of Exile (Skip until you have the required items (Spray Paint, Book of Exile // directional mic, urn if honor soul feature is on.)

7. Determine the ghost's favorite room, you will have higher chances of collecting evidence there as well as being able able to complete some optional objectives that require the favorite room.
- Find the Ouija Board in the house and ask, "What is your favorite room?". Sometimes the ghost will answer, sometimes not. Also the ghost most likely drop the favorite item notes near this room as well, but sometimes it is random, so be careful.
Other Questions you can ask the Ouija Board

• Are You A Child?
  
• Are You Old?
  
• Are You Young?
  
• How Did You Die?
  
• How Many Ghosts Are In The House?
  
• How Old Are You?
  
• What Is Your Favorite Room?
  
• When Were You Born?
  
• Where Are You?
  
• Where is Your Passport?

8. The longer you are in the game or ask the ghost questions using the Ouija Board, your Sanity will drop allowing the ghost to hunt you.
- Don't panic, when it starts to hunt the front door will lock, your screen will distort some and it will make a grudge-like throat noise. You will need to find an empty cabinet to hide in and wait for the hunt to finish.
- Turn off your flashlight with "T" and remain quiet. Double click on cabinet doors to open/shut them quickly.

9. Make sure to open drawers and cabinets for the ghost's passport for it's name. You will need this later once you perform the exile ritual.

10. Practice makes perfect, keep trying! Don't get discouraged, once you gain confidence and experience, try increasing your difficulty and/or adding additional features

Optional Features

One thing that sets Ghost Exile apart from other games is allowing you to enable or disable optional features to add content into the game to further enhance your experience.

Optional Features can be enabled/Disabled from the computer where you start your your game settings (Choose Map/Difficulty etc)
- By Default, ALL but AI Improvements is turned on.
- You must disable or enable what features you want before initiating your hunting map.



My Suggestion is to turn all of these features off for your 1st few rounds until you are at least level 2 and can buy the other equipment from the shop. And Only enable one feature at a time to get used to the mechanics before adding multiple features in.

The following is a list of the features with a description.

Favorite Things

If enabled you will need to find and burn the ghost's favorite object to complete the ritual

- The first hint appears by itself 8 minutes after the start of the match
- The note appears in the place where the ghost was standing at the time of writing the hint.
- Basically , they should appear in ghost favourite room or next to it ( depends on the ghost and random )
- In total, the items are divided into 4 groups.
- The first note gives a hint for 2 groups, the second note will indicate a specific group
2nd note clues

• - protects from evil spirits = talisman
  
• - Not a toy = toy
  
• - mentions inheritance - Inheritance
  
• - add to collection = collectible
  

- You can take the item in your hand and watch the activity screen ( if the player is next to the item after 8 minutes , the activity will start to grow).

Ritual Condition

if enabled, this adds additional conditions for the Ritual of Exile that are randomly selected at the beginning of each match. (Recommended for Experienced players).
Examples include:

• Average Sanity of 25% or lower
  
• Draw a Seal in the Ghost's favorite room / Any Room
  
• No means of protection in the house (Crucifix or incense)
  
• Only 1 person in the house for the ritual

-----------------------------------------------------------

Difficult Ghost

Ghost becomes more difficult. Enabling this will allow the ghost to hear you without pressing your voice key, has a better memory of things and has better hearing. The ghost will also randomly select a level for a unique ability from the available ones. (Recommended for experienced players)
-----------------------------------------------------------

World of Shadows

If Enabled, You will have to find the lost soul and bring it back to the light while avoiding Shadows and the Keeper. (Recommended for experienced players)
Once you find the lost soul, get close to it and say very clearly and slow - "Let's go into the light" and wait for it to get out, you can hide and wait after the soul starts heading to the light
-----------------------------------------------------------

Complication of Ritual

If Enabled, you will have to do a second part to the ritual in Honoring the good part of the ghost's soul. To do this you will Need the Urn, Directional Microphone and Spray paint.
On beginner and experienced difficulties - move around the house with the directional microphone and look for a blue dot on your screen. You can also hear "Holy Sounds" as you get closer to the correct location.
Once you find the blue dot, get on that spot (Inside the red range on the microphone and make sure you are right on it) and draw a Sigil of Ashukut there and place the urn.
*NOTE: the sigil will be locked until you get to that part of the ritual



-----------------------------------------------------------

Labyrinth of Death

If Enabled, if you die you will have a chance to come back to help your allies. You will be dropped into a maze and will have to find the bright blue door and click on it to escape.
BUT the ghost will be chasing you and if it catches you, you must tap "F" repeatedly to try and get out of it's grasp and run away.
You have 3 attempts to do this or you will fail and be trapped outside the house. *NOTE: You do have infinite sprint in the maze, use it*
IF You succeed, You will gain additional insurance money at the end of the hunt and you may use abilities, Knocking, Throw Object and EMF Field to help allies.
EMF Field will slow the ghost while hunting if it walks through it. Also NOTE* You can close portals while a ghost*
-----------------------------------------------------------

Document Search

(On by Default) If enabled, this will allow the search for the ghost's documents in game. This allows players to find out the ghost's name in order to complete the Ritual of Exile. (Note: Disabling this content has a -10% reward reduction).
-----------------------------------------------------------

Dangerous Ghost

This content expands the gameplay with new types of hunting, each of which requires a unique strategy for survival. With each new hunt, the ghost randomly selects its type. This content is intended for experienced players. Activating this content increases the chance of artifacts falling out.
-----------------------------------------------------------

*Note: these are 100% optional to either enable or disable for your desired gameplay experience.

If you are new to the game, it's recommended to enable these one at a time to give players a chance to learn how these additional features work before adding multiple features to your game.

Identifying the Ghost - Evidence Collection

You have arrived at the house, now you must use your tools to identify the type of ghost that resides in the house.
If you open your Journal.. Default key: "N", you will be able to see the types of evidence listed and the ghost types.
As you collect the evidence using your equipment, you can mark off what evidence is found by clicking on the box next to the type of evidence.
- Left Click once - Circles the evidence indicating the evidence was found
- Left Click twice - Crosses out the evidence indicating the evidence was not found
- Left Click three times - resets to the default state.



Find the Ouija Board in the house. Turn it on with left click and ask "What is your favorite room?"
You will be able to collect evidence at higher rates in this room.

Questions you can ask the Ouija Board:

• Are You A Child?
  
• Are You Old?
  
• Are You Young?
  
• How Did You Die?
  
• How Many Ghosts Are In The House?
  
• How Old Are You?
  
• What Is Your Favorite Room?
  
• When Were You Born?
  
• Where Are You?
  
• Where is Your Passport?

Voice Recorder - Must turn on with left click to start recording, ask questions with voice key up, Look for the ! indicating something was picked up on it. Playback the recorded audio with right click.
If one of the ! turns to a ghost symbol. Evidence is found.


Spirit Box - Turn on with right click and ask questions with voice key up. If you hear a response and the Spirit Box says <Signal Detected>, you have spirit box evidence.


Questions to ask Spirit Box/ Voice Recorder

• Are You A Child?
  
• Are you Here?
  
• Are you Old?
  
• Are You Young?
  
• Can you Talk?
  
• Give Me A Sign
  
• How Old Are You?
  
• Show Yourself
  
• Talk To Us
  
• Where Are You?
  
• When Were You Born?

Infared / Motion Sensor - Place on doorways and walls. // If the motion sensor light turns Orange, you have Infared evidence. *NOTE: Motion detector also makes a different sound when infared evidence is present


Traces of Ectoplasm (fingerprints) - Check both sides of doors with the UV Light. If you see green handprints, you have found traces of ectoplasm. *NOTE: Only the person holding the UV Light can see this at this time.


Ghost Orb - Use a Video Camera with night vision mode (Right Click) and walk around the house without lights on (Including your flashlight) to try and find if any ghost orbs are present.
The ghost orbs are a single ball of light detected on the camera.


EMF 5 - Use the EMF Detector as you walk around the house or place on the floor. If all 5 lights light up, you have EMF 5


Laser Projection - Place in Ghost's favorite room for higher chance. You should see a very faint outline or Silhouette of the ghost pass through if Laser Projection is found


Ghost Writing - Set it down in the ghost's favorite room for a higher chance and ask it to "Write in the book". You can leave this in the room and come back later to see if it wrote in the book.


Freezing Temperatures - If temperatures drop below freezing and you can see your breath. Can use regular thermometer or wall thermometer.


Haze - Walk around the house with the video camera with or without Night Vision mode (Right click) to look for haze evidence, this can be found even with lights on.


Once you have confirmed 3 pieces of evidence, you should have correctly identified the ghost and marked the ghost type by clicking on it on the right hand side of your journal evidence.
You can now leave OR Exile the ghost and then leave.

Exiling the Ghost

Once you have successfully identified your ghost and marked it in your journal, you should see under your evidence section on the bottom right the type of ritual needed to perform the exile for that ghost.

At the bare minimum, you need spray paint and the book of exile bought from the shop to do this.
You will also need to find the ghost's passport to determine the ghost's name and a lighter found in the house for the ritual. Search drawers and cabinets to find these.

- Also should note: You can only hold 4 items in your Cellphone inventory. So you will need to drop items to pickup other ones if this becomes full.

Once you have found the passport and a lighter, You should have everything needed to exile the ghost. Grab the book of Exile and select the ritual that was determined by your evidence findings. You will need to use the arrow keys on the book to cycle to the correct ritual, once you find the right one, click and hold the select button to select it, then I suggest to lock it in on the bottom left so it doesn't change on you.

Rituals of Exile	Sigil Used	Ritual Items	Ghost Types
Sacred Rite of Derot	Ameth	3 Ritual Candles and a Skull	Piru, Amonjaku, Obake, Kijo
Ancient Rite of Hisogal	Ameth	4 Ritual Candles, 1 Rune of Othala, 1 Rune of Berkano	Onryo, Poltergeist, Mononoke, Dibbuk, Renove
Rite of Anak	Zeth	4 Ritual Candles and a Bone	Oni, Shiryo, Caoineag, Shinigami
Rite of Astalor	Zeth	3 Ritual Candles and a Rune of Othala	Djinn, Revenant, Doppler, Myling
Great Rite of Anaberon	Anaberon	5 Ritual Candles and a Doll	Pishachi, Mogwai, Reiki, Mara

Once you select and lock the ritual, you need to gather the required items for the ritual - left hand side inside of the exile book - from the ritual table. Follow the instructions in the exile book.
This includes:
- Draw the Ritual Seal on the floor (Sometimes has to be done in the ghost's favorite room)
- Sigil of Ameth, Anaberon, or Zeth

- Place the ritual items on the seal // Light the candles
- Stand on the center // Seal should glow red.
- Read the text in the Exile book on the bottom right while following any extra instructions.
- If successful, The book will say "GHOST EXILED"


*Additional notes:
- Sometimes you are required to drop your sanity below a certain percentage to do the ritual, if so, the easiest way is to ask the Ouija Board questions.
- Depending on your optional features, you may be required to go into the world of shadows or honor the ghost's soul as part of exile instructions.
- Sigil of Ashukut unlocks when you need to honor the good part of the ghost's soul.
- NEVER Place a ritual seal down without letting the book tell you the location.
- Either the ghost's favorite room OR Any room. IF it says you can do it in any room, I suggest trying to be as far from the ghost as you can and in a room with a closet to hide.

Additional Notes / Tips

- Revenants are immune to incense
- Some ghosts types ignore crucifix
- can Place Protective and Active Sigils AFTER Exiling the ghost if needed to complete bonus objectives
- If the ritual requires a solo player to perform it, the other players can help to close portals and other objectives until the player has to read the text aloud again for the exile.
- Remember you can double click on cabinet doors to open/shut them quickly.


This guide is a work in progress.. I will continue to add/change info as needed. But I hope this helps you guys out!

Great work. Anyone that has played Phasmophobia will be familiar with this game. The only minor difference is, is instead finding out what the ghost is and leaving via truck after clicking the correct ghost type, you have to do the ritual.

Even the items you use is very similar.

Great guide
