First blink always starts the pattern. 🔃 Pattern continues across hunts. Example: If last blink was "Grandma," next blink starts at "Patient 07." Male Pattern: Butcher → Club/Fisherman → Greybeard → Naked → Nerd → Skeleton → Brute → (loop) Female Pattern: Child → Grandma → Patient 07 → Woman → (loop) 🌀 Shapeshifting into self = posture reset animation. Obake’s Rare Fingerprints: 🔥 6-Fingered Handprint – Appears on doors, windows, coolers

双指纹——可能出现在电灯开关上

五指印 - 可在键盘、牢房门上等处找到

⏳ Shorter Lifespan – Obake prints may disappear faster than 2 minutes ⚙️ Dayan: Movement-Reactive Speed & Sanity 👣 Within 10m of ghost: Speed and sanity change based on player movement. 🚶 Player walking: 2.25 m/s hunt speed, 65% hunt sanity. 🛑 Player standing still: 1.2 m/s hunt speed, 45% hunt sanity. 📍 Beyond 10m: 1.7 m/s speed, 50% sanity. LoS boost applies from >10m. 🔑 Definitive test: Watch speed jump when you move/stop within 10m during hunt. Pro Tip: If ghost slows mid-hunt when you stop moving, likely Dayan. Reversible unlike Deogen's permanent slow. 🔄 Obambo: Aggressive ↔ Calm State Cycle ⏱️ 2-minute cycle: Alternates between Calm and Aggressive state every 2 minutes. 😌 Calm state: 1.45 m/s speed, 10% hunt sanity (very slow & chill). 😤 Aggressive state: 1.96 m/s speed, 65% hunt sanity (fast & dangerous). 🔀 Mid-hunt switch: Can change states during a single hunt – watch for sudden speed jumps. 📊 Definitive test: Speed switches 1.45 ↔ 1.96 m/s mid-hunt = Obambo (The Twins are close but different). ⚠️ Aggressive hunt duration: 20% shorter than normal. Easy Tell: If you see speed dramatically shift (not LOS boost) during one hunt, document Obambo. 🛡️ Gallu: 3-State Cycle (Normal → Enraged → Weakened) 📊 State progression: Normal (starting) → Enraged (triggered) → Weakened (post-hunt) → Normal (repeat). 😐 Normal State: 1.7 m/s speed, 50% hunt sanity, standard behavior. 😡 Enraged State (triggered by: stepping in salt, being incensed, or hit with crucifix). — 1.96 m/s speed, 60% hunt sanity. — Incense blind duration: 4s (shorter). — Crucifix range: -2m (weaker detection). — Does NOT disturb salt (stays in salt without reacting). — Remains until end of hunt, then → Weakened. 😴 Weakened State (after hunt ends while Enraged): — 1.36 m/s speed, 40% hunt sanity (slowest, easiest to escape). — Incense blind duration: 6s (longer). — Crucifix range: +1m (wider detection). — DOES disturb salt (will react and exit salt). — Trigger back to Normal: salt step (3s delay), incense, or crucifix.

Extremely fast with LoS + tech. 👁️ Revenant: 3 m/s while chasing; slows to 1 m/s when not chasing. Easy to test when hiding. 🔇 Myling: Quieter footstep range. Use Parabolic Mic to detect from afar. 🌀 Deogen: Always knows your location. Moves slowly (0.4 m/s) when close; speeds up (3 m/s) when far. 🔀 The Twins: Can hunt as early as 50%, but off-twin can start a hunt at 50–67%. Look for roam behavior. 🎭 The Mimic: May use hunt thresholds and behavior of any ghost, including Demon, Raiju, etc. 📖 Ghost Breakdown 🧟 SpiritAbilities & Tells: No unique traits – baseline ghost

幽魂镜

破碎的闹鬼镜子 作用：使用时显示鬼魂最爱房间的实时画面。 消耗：每秒消耗7.5%理智值，或总共消耗20%理智值，取较高者。 诅咒猎杀：当理智值低于20%时使用，或理智值降至0%时，镜子会破碎并引发诅咒猎杀。 注意事项： 【激活时鬼魂房间会出现光芒（队友可见）】 【所有玩家都能查看镜子的反射画面】 猴爪

运作方式： 大声说出愿望。每个有效愿望会弯曲一根手指，并赋予一个强大效果，但带有负面代价。 愿望示例： “我希望看见鬼魂”→【+显现鬼魂】/【-诅咒猎杀+屏幕变暗】 “我希望有活动”→【+高活动】/【-断路器跳闸，门锁定（2分钟）】 “我希望恢复理智”→【+理智值提升至平均值】50%概率/负面效果：房间随机化，快速理智流失 “我希望鬼魂被困住”→正面效果：困住鬼魂1分钟/负面效果：随后触发诅咒猎杀 “我希望获得生命”→正面效果：复活一名死亡队友/负面效果：50%概率你会代替死亡 “我希望安全”→正面效果：解锁躲藏点/负面效果：鬼魂能从任何地方听到你的声音 “我希望离开”→正面效果：所有出口解锁/负面效果：你被减速并致盲5秒 “我希望获得知识”→正面效果：移除一个错误证据/负面效果：附近触发诅咒猎杀 “我希望改变天气”→正面效果：改变天气/负面效果：25%理智流失 “我希望得到任何东西”→正面效果：随机获得一个愿望效果 注意事项： 每场合约每种愿望仅可使用一次。 重复同一个愿望只会挥手指，无效果。 未被诅咒的手指数量=剩余使用次数。 音乐盒

音乐盒 工作原理： 播放音乐。若鬼魂在20米范围内，音乐盒会发出歌声。若鬼魂在5米范围内，其会显现并走向音乐盒。 消耗： 3米范围内每秒消耗2.6%理智值。整首歌曲播放完毕约消耗77%理智值。 诅咒猎杀： 若音乐盒被投掷、被鬼魂触碰或使用者理智值降至0%，将触发诅咒猎杀。 猎杀前可见鬼魂事件持续超过5秒。 注意事项： 若鬼魂距离较远或附近无玩家，可安全关闭音乐盒。 最好在游戏初期使用以定位鬼魂房间。 通灵板

通灵板 工作原理： 向鬼魂提问。说“再见”可安全结束。未说再见就离开会导致通灵板损坏并触发诅咒猎杀。 示例问题及理智值消耗： “你在哪里？” – 50% “骨头在哪里？” – 20% “你多大了？” – 5% “我有多疯狂？”/“我的理智值是多少？” – 5% “你会回应所有人吗？” – 20% “捉迷藏？” – 0%（触发诅咒猎杀） “马可”/“咚咚” – 5% 注意事项： 在0%理智值时使用会导致通灵板损坏并触发诅咒猎杀。 若通灵板损坏，诅咒猎杀会立即开始。

破损的通灵板 召唤阵

召唤阵 工作原理： 用打火机点燃所有5根红色蜡烛。鬼魂显现，5秒后开始诅咒猎杀。 消耗： 每根蜡烛会使附近玩家的理智值降低16%。单人游戏总计降低80%。 诅咒猎杀： 鬼魂出现5秒后开始猎杀。 若理智值低于16%，猎杀立即开始。 若鬼魂正在猎杀时你点燃最后一根蜡烛，它会传送到阵中。 注意事项： 理智值过低时无法点燃蜡烛。 3级十字架（未使用）可以阻止猎杀。 影魔在召唤过程中可能以影子形态出现。

巫毒娃娃

巫毒娃娃 工作原理： 每按下一根针会引发一次鬼魂互动（若鬼魂在附近）。心形针=诅咒猎杀。 消耗： 每根针消耗5%理智值。心形针=消耗10%理智值+触发猎杀。 诅咒猎杀： 由心形针触发。 当理智值为0%时，所有剩余的针会一次性全部按下——猎杀开始。 注意事项： 鬼魂必须在附近才会引发互动。 理智值为0%时，猎杀可能会与多次互动同时发生。 塔罗牌 工作原理： 从一副牌中抽取10张牌，每张牌都具有强大且随机的效果。 卡牌列表：

【塔楼】- 触发幽灵互动（20%）

命运之轮 - 绿色：+25% 理智值 / 红色：-25% 理智值（20%）

愚者 - 无效果（17%）/ 狩猎期间100%概率

恶魔 - 有10%概率在玩家附近触发鬼魂事件

死亡 - 开始诅咒狩猎（10%）

隐士 - 将鬼魂传送至房间并困住1分钟（10%）

太阳 - 恢复全部理智值（5%）

月亮——立即将理智值降至0%（5%）

高阶女祭司 - 复活死亡队友（2%）

倒吊人 - 立即杀死你（1%概率） 笔记： 愚者卡牌在狩猎期间会覆盖其他任何卡牌效果。 未使用的女祭司卡牌不会叠加效果。 所有诅咒物品提示： 每局游戏只会生成一个诅咒物品。 使用任何诅咒物品后，其他诅咒物品将失效。 诅咒狩猎持续时间更长，且会跳过准备阶段。 使用任何物品前请检查理智值！ 地图布局（社区制作） 玩家自制的《恐鬼症》所有官方地图可视化布局——有助于导航、诅咒物品刷新点、电闸位置确定和计划制定。 6号唐格伍德大道
