PHANTOM

ENTITY • EVIDENCE: UV • DOTS • SPIRIT BOX

← BACK

THE PHANTOM IS ONE OF THE FEW ENTITIES THAT DRAINS PLAYERS' SANITY SIMPLY BY BEING LOOKED AT — AVOID STARING AT IT WHEN YOU CROSS PATHS. TAKING ITS PHOTO MAKES IT TEMPORARILY VANISH: IF YOUR PHOTO IS VALIDATED IN THE JOURNAL BUT IT NO LONGER APPEARS IN IT, THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. ANOTHER CLUE: DURING A HUNT IT FLICKERS VERY RARELY COMPARED TO THE AVERAGE ENTITY — THE OPPOSITE OF THE ONI, WHICH FLICKERS NONSTOP.

HOW TO IDENTIFY IT

PRIORITY

USE A CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPH THE PHANTOM WHEN IT APPEARS
CHECK THE JOURNAL TO CONFIRM THE PHOTO IS VALID (THE PHANTOM WILL NOT BE VISIBLE IN IT)
WATCH ITS FLICKERING DURING A HUNT — YOU WILL RARELY SEE IT FLICKER

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

LOOKING AT A PHANTOM LOWERS PLAYERS' SANITY BY ABOUT 0.5% PER SECOND, WITHIN 10 M OF LINE OF SIGHT
TAKING A PHOTO OF THE PHANTOM MAKES IT TEMPORARILY DISAPPEAR
INSTEAD OF NORMAL ROAMING, CAN PICK A RANDOM PLAYER AND MOVE TO WITHIN 5 M OF THEM, WHICH CAN GENERATE AN EMF LEVEL 2 NEAR THEM

STRATEGY

TAKE PHOTOS OF IT AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN: BESIDES VALIDATING THE EVIDENCE, EACH SHOT CONFIRMS ITS SIGNATURE TEMPORARY DISAPPEARANCE. AVOID STARING AT IT FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT REASON SINCE IT DRAINS YOUR SANITY CONTINUOUSLY - KEEP AN EYE ON IT JUST LONG ENOUGH TO SNAP THE PHOTO, THEN LOOK AWAY.
