How to use the Tools to Gain Evidence

Basic mechanics. The guide will be supplemented with information about items for exile.

Tools

• Spirit Box – To use the Spirit Box, use left-mouse button to speak to the entity. If the entity can respond, the figure of a demon, top-right of the Box will light up white to indicate that the entity is communicating. This should be used first as you enter the premises.
  When using the necrophone, you must only speak English. I noted a lot of phrases - triggers. Mini list:
  - Talk to me.
  - Are you here?
  - Where are you?
  - When did you die?
  Players also noted that the ghost will say a name if asked: What is your name?
  To exile you will need to ask: When did you die?
  
• EMF Detector – The Detector is perfect in located the Entity Room. With its archaic use of a cockroach where the device detects how much paranormal activity is happening in the room you are in. With a gauge of 0-5, you will be able to use this to find where the entity resides via a high meter reading. The Detector can be placed within the Entity Room so you can record your findings via the HQ
  
• UV Flashlight – Used to find fingerprints against the surfaces. The fingerprints appear as hands, so be on the lookout for that, rather than separate fingerprints that could be harder to spot.
  
• Easel Canvas – This should be placed inside the Entity Room. Some types will interact with the Canvas and paint their masterpiece straight onto the Easel so be sure to check this so you can add this into your evidence.
  
• ESG Device – This Device is one of the hardest to use for the fact that the entity can make its appearance and disappear just as fast as it appeared. You will need to place this inside the Entity Room and look out for a visual reading of the entity which will be captured in a single shot which will quickly vanish. Therefore, you will need to either stay in the room or place a Tripod Camera down in order to view any findings.
  
• Ectoplasma Glass – This Glass requires you to hold it up to your eyes (click left-mouse button) and search for any visual signs of the entity via white plasma. This will typically be left on the walls and look like glowing-white paintbrush strokes. They are very small, like raindrops. They are difficult to distinguish, especially on light surfaces. You have to be very close. Fingerprints are everywhere. I most often saw them on lightswitches.

Other important points

You cannot hide. You can only run away.
When you die, you lose items. Half of the cost of lost items will be returned to you.
Your main assistant is the journal. Don't forget to cross out evidence that isn't found. Do not look for evidence that do not fit the remaining spirits.
The thermometer is not worth the money. It is of little use. Another Tool that is important to note is your protagonist’s breath. This will tell you if you are in a room where the temperature has dropped to freezing. This has the visual indication of the fog in the character’s breath. This can also be used as a sign of you entering the Entity’s Room. You should also designate someone to hold onto Survival Items which help towards ensuring your survival and also to keep your sanity intact. These are Flashlights, Candles, Sanity Pills and the Crucifix.
Save money on a thermometer.

Addition

We highly recommend that when you enter the haunting area, you utilize these Tools first in the order of: Spirit Box, EMF Detector and Ectoplasma Glass. The Spirit Box will remove half of the typings from your Evidence List if you hear a response from the entity. Next, the EMF Detector will help you tremendously in finding the Entity Room, finally the Ectoplasma Glass will help you hit two objectives, figure out the entity’s type and begin the exorcism. If you are working with a team, the other Tools such as ESG Device and Easel Canvas are best used with someone staying at the HQ, whilst another placed these items down for the player at the Base to record any evidence.

Will the demon hunts be triggered at different times depending on the demon type or is at a specific sanity percentage? Great guide thanks for posting!

Ahh thank you @Dark Maelstrom

[Dark Maelstr0m]

To any asking about the "when did you die question" it's misleading because it relates to using the ectoplasma glass to find the digital time of the ghosts death in the Cyclone st. map so you can exorcise it and is not related to the spirit box

[Reaper]

In regards to the spirit box "To exile you will need to ask: When did you die?"
What exactly does that do? Me and my friends tried it but it didn't do anything. Is that needed to exorcise the spirit?

[Tom]

Reaper. Once you have died, you cannot exorcise the spirit. What part are you talking about? What moment are you asking about?

[Reaper]

What does "to exile" do when you ask it when did you die?

[butthole]

fyi, spirit box lights up white not red
