ONI

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: EMF • DOTS • FREEZING

← BACK

THE ONI IS PARTICULARLY ACTIVE WHENEVER PLAYERS ARE NEARBY: MORE PARANORMAL EVENTS AND FASTER SANITY DRAIN (-20%). TWO RELIABLE CLUES TO RECOGNIZE IT: UNLIKE MOST OTHER ENTITIES, IT NEVER TAKES MIST FORM, AND DURING A HUNT IT FLICKERS VERY RAPIDLY — MUCH MORE VISIBLE THAN AVERAGE. INTENSE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (THROWN OBJECTS, FREQUENT APPARITIONS) AS SOON AS YOU'RE NEARBY IS ANOTHER GOOD SIGNAL.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

IF YOU NEVER SEE OR HEAR A MIST FORM, THAT MAY INDICATE THE ONI
DURING A HUNT, THE ONI FLICKERS FREQUENTLY, MAKING IT EASIER TO SPOT. THIS CONTRASTS WITH OTHER ENTITIES (THE OPPOSITE OF THE PHANTOM)
IF YOU OBSERVE HEAVY ACTIVITY (LIKE THROWN OBJECTS OR FREQUENT APPARITIONS), YOU'RE LIKELY DEALING WITH THIS ENTITY

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

IT IS KNOWN TO BE PARTICULARLY ACTIVE WHEN PLAYERS ARE NEARBY, CAUSING MORE PARANORMAL EVENTS
IF YOU COLLIDE WITH IT DURING A PARANORMAL EVENT, THE SANITY LOSS IS 20% INSTEAD OF 10% (THIS IS NOT A CONTINUOUS PASSIVE DRAIN)
UNLIKE OTHER ENTITIES, THE ONI DOES NOT PRODUCE A MIST FORM
DURING A HUNT, THE ONI FLICKERS RAPIDLY, MAKING IT MORE VISIBLE THAN OTHER ENTITIES

STRATEGY

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS HYPERACTIVITY TO GATHER EVIDENCE QUICKLY, IT TRIGGERS FAR MORE PARANORMAL EVENTS. THE ONLY EXTRA DANGER IS COLLIDING WITH IT DURING AN EVENT (20% SANITY LOSS INSTEAD OF 10%): KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE WHEN AN OBJECT IS THROWN OR AN APPARITION OCCURS NEAR YOU.
