THE MIMIC

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: FREEZING • UV • SPIRIT BOX

← BACK

THE MIMIC IS UNIQUE: IT COPIES ANOTHER ENTITY'S BEHAVIOR AND HUNT THRESHOLD (EXCEPT THE GORYO, THE ONLY ONE IT CAN NEVER IMITATE), BUT NEVER ITS EVIDENCE TYPES — IT ALWAYS PRODUCES GHOST ORBS ON TOP OF ITS USUAL 3 EVIDENCE, EVEN WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE 0. AT THE START OF A CONTRACT, IT ALWAYS BEGINS IN A 'BLANK' STATE WITH NOTHING BEING IMITATED: YOU HAVE TO WAIT EXACTLY 1 MINUTE AFTER THE EXIT DOOR IS FIRST OPENED BEFORE IT STARTS IMITATING AN ENTITY — DURING THAT MINUTE, IT BEHAVES LIKE A STANDARD ENTITY WITH NO SPECIAL ABILITY. ONCE IT KICKS IN, IT SWITCHES THE MODEL IT'S IMITATING EVERY 30 SECONDS TO 2 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF HUNTS, BUT STAYS FIXED DURING A HUNT OR A PARANORMAL EVENT. THE SUREST SIGN: GHOST ORBS ARE ALWAYS PRESENT, EVEN COMBINED WITH BEHAVIOR THAT RESEMBLES ANOTHER ENTITY.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

LOOK FOR ALL FOUR EVIDENCE: SPIRIT BOX, UV, FREEZING TEMPERATURES, AND GHOST ORBS
IF YOU HAVE TWO EVIDENCE PLUS ORBS, LOOK FOR THE THIRD TO CONFIRM
WATCH FOR CONTRADICTORY BEHAVIOR OR SPEEDS FROM ONE HUNT TO THE NEXT
BEWARE OF THE FAKE GHOST ORBS, ALWAYS PRESENT WITH THE MIMIC
❗REQUIRED EVIDENCE: GHOST ORB

HUNTING BEHAVIOR

STARTS EVERY GAME IN A 'BLANK' STATE: BEHAVES LIKE A STANDARD ENTITY, WITH NO SPECIAL ABILITY
SWITCHES THE IMITATED MODEL ROUGHLY EVERY 30 SECONDS TO 2 MINUTES (OUTSIDE OF HUNTS)
CANNOT CHANGE WHICH ENTITY IT'S IMITATING DURING A HUNT OR A PARANORMAL EVENT

SPECIAL MECHANICS

CAN COPY THE HUNT THRESHOLDS, SPEEDS, AND MOST SPECIAL ABILITIES OF OTHER ENTITIES
ALWAYS PRODUCES GHOST ORBS, ON TOP OF ITS USUAL EVIDENCE (EVEN AT 0 EVIDENCE)
NEVER COPIES THE IMITATED ENTITY'S EVIDENCE TYPES, ONLY ITS BEHAVIOR
THE ONLY ENTITY IT CANNOT IMITATE IS THE GORYO

STRATEGY

NEVER RELY SOLELY ON OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: IT COPIES ANOTHER ENTITY SPEED AND ABILITIES (EXCEPT THE GORYO), BUT ITS EVIDENCE ALWAYS STAYS ITS OWN, GHOST ORB INCLUDED. IF YOU SEE ORBS ON TOP OF BEHAVIOR THAT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER KNOWN ENTITY, THAT IS THE MOST RELIABLE TELL.
