BANSHEE

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: UV • DOTS • ORBS

← BACK

THE BANSHEE LOCKS ONTO A SINGLE TARGET AND IGNORES EVERYONE ELSE AS LONG AS THAT TARGET IS IN THE HOUSE — ITS HUNTS ARE BASED ON THAT TARGET'S SANITY, NOT THE TEAM AVERAGE. IF THE TARGET LEAVES OR DIES, IT PICKS A NEW ONE BASED ON LOBBY JOIN ORDER. IT HAS A DISTINCTIVE SCREAM (AUDIBLE ON THE PARABOLIC MICROPHONE, ROUGHLY A 1-IN-3 CHANCE) AND TRIGGERS SINGING EVENTS FAR MORE OFTEN THAN OTHER ENTITIES (NEARLY 1 IN 2). IF THE SAME PLAYER GETS HUNTED SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, THAT'S A VERY GOOD CLUE.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

WATCH FOR A PLAYER BEING FREQUENTLY TARGETED BY HUNTS: THE BANSHEE KEEPS THE SAME TARGET UNTIL THEY LEAVE THE HOUSE OR DIE. NOTE THAT PARANORMAL EVENTS REMAIN RANDOM AND DISTANCE-BASED: THEY DO NOT PREFERENTIALLY TARGET ITS HUNT TARGET
USE THE PARABOLIC MICROPHONE TO LISTEN FOR THE BANSHEE'S UNIQUE SCREAM (33% CHANCE TO HEAR IT)
SET UP A MOTION SENSOR TO TRACK THE BANSHEE'S MOVEMENTS. IF THE SENSOR TRIGGERS NEAR A SPECIFIC PLAYER, IT MAY INDICATE THEY ARE THE TARGET
IF YOU COLLIDE WITH IT DURING A SINGING EVENT TARGETING ITS TARGET, THE SANITY LOSS IS 15% INSTEAD OF 10%

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

CAN HUNT AT 50% AVERAGE SANITY
MOVES AT AN INITIAL SPEED OF 1.7 M/S
MOVES AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 2.8 M/S

SPECIAL MECHANICS

TARGETS ONE SPECIFIC PLAYER AND ONLY ATTACKS THEM, IGNORING OTHER PLAYERS AS LONG AS ITS TARGET IS PRESENT IN THE HOUSE
IF THE TARGET LEAVES THE HOUSE OR DIES, IT SWITCHES TARGETS FOLLOWING THE PLAYERS' LOBBY JOIN ORDER (HOST FIRST, THEN 2ND, 3RD, 4TH PLAYER)
IT CAN LET OUT A DISTINCT SCREAM WHEN DETECTED BY THE PARABOLIC MICROPHONE OR RECORDED WITH THE SOUND RECORDER
IT FAVORS SINGING EVENTS MORE THAN OTHER ENTITIES (46.67% CHANCE, VS 20% FOR MOST OTHER ENTITIES)
ITS HUNTS AND ACTIVITY LEVEL ARE BASED SOLELY ON ITS TARGET'S SANITY, NOT THE GROUP AVERAGE
THE BANSHEE IS ALWAYS A FEMALE ENTITY

STRATEGY

IF YOU ARE THE TARGET, STAYING GROUPED WITH THE TEAM DOES NOT PROTECT YOU: ONLY YOUR OWN SANITY MATTERS FOR ITS HUNTS. CONVERSELY, IF A TEAMMATE IS THE TARGET AND THEIR SANITY DROPS FAST, THEY ARE THE ONE TO WATCH CLOSELY, EVEN IF THE GROUP AVERAGE STAYS HIGH.
