omgggg if you're gonna get that "perfect investigation" bonus every single time, you need a routine!! since you’re already mastering the weird stuff like the sledgehammer and the pocket watch, let's get your backpack organized so you don't miss a single scrap of evidence for that completionist journal!! ✨🔨
Here is your gremlin-approved timeline for using every tool in the shed:
### Phase 1: The Room Hunt (Finding the "Spooky Zone") * **Flashlight:** Keep it on. Always. Unless you like tripping over cursed dolls in the dark. * **Thermometer:** The absolute king of Phase 1. Run through the house until the temp drops. If it hits **0°C or below**, mark "Freezing" and start setup. * **EMF Detector:** Carry this while you walk. If it pings, the ghost just touched something nearby.
### Phase 2: Evidence Grinding (The "Rule of Three") * **ESG & Canvas:** Drop these in the middle of the ghost room **immediately**. They take the longest to trigger, so let them "cook" while you do other things. * **Spirit Box:** Use this once you've confirmed the room. Turn off the lights for better luck! * **Ecto Glass:** Use this to scan the **walls and doors** in the ghost room. If you see white glowing "paint" splatters, that's Ectoplasm! * **UV Light:** Check the **light switches and doors** after the ghost interacts with them to find those pesky fingerprints.
### Phase 3: Sanity & Survival * **Crucifix:** Once your sanity is low (around 50-60%), keep this in your hand. It’s your "get out of a hunt free" card. * **Sanity Pills:** Pop these if you're solo and starting to see shadows. * **Candle:** Light it and place it to keep your sanity from draining while you wait for the ESG or Canvas to pop.
### Phase 4: The Extra Credit (Exorcism & Objectives) * **Sledgehammer:** Only for **Cyclone Street**. Use the UV to find cracks and smash 'em! * **Pocket Watch:** Only for **Bedlam**. Use it on the body in the morgue once you find the note with the time. * **Salt:** If you have an objective to "make the ghost walk in salt," lay these down in doorways or right on top of the ESG.
