  1. this challenge was definitely painful in all ways, i just ended up looping around the campfire logs cause it was so slow, and also because looping around the tables it kept doubling back on me

  2. This is Gonna Help me clear my mind… I lost my dad last night and I’m just trying my best to keep myself from breaking down all the time. Thank you insym, you are something consistent in my life.

  3. If Shades aren't supposed to hunt in the same room as you, then Shades in my game are bugged since forever. I play on custom difficulty and had Shades literally hunt on top of me and insta kill me (with 0s grace period) multiple times, on many maps. The whole game is so scuffed right now, like with every single update they introduce new bugs to the game to the point its almost unplayable now. Every once a dozen of rounds when playing with my friends, as soon as the map loads, the game ends and sends us back to the lobby, and says we've died. Even though we never exited the van. And we lose everything we brought to the contract, it's very annoying. Sometimes we'll get a 'ghost' player join our game, and we can't start the investigation. They weren't in the lobby when we clicked to start, they can't talk to us in game, and until they leave the game, we can't do anything, the items won't spawn, and we won't be able to open the truck. Yesterday I had this ghost that would hunt literally on top of the crucifix, not once, but twice. First time it did so I smudge in panic (because I was near the crucifix and though I was safe), and not even 50s later after I smudged, the ghost starts burning all the crucifixes. I though for sure it was bugged Demon because of how aggressive it was even after being smudged. But turns out it was a Spirit?? Absolutely 0 sense. This wasn't even the first time this has happened to me, I also had a Jinn do the same thing on another game on the Edgefield Basement, pretty much the entire room was covered by 2 T3 crucifixes, but in 1 hunt he still spawned within like 1m of the crucifix anyways. I had shades stalk me and my friends around the map, acting like Banshees. The front door on Tanglewood now disappears when the ghost starts a hunt, you can literally walk in mid hunt. The game is completely scuffed, I hope they do a bug fix update ASAP.

  4. This weekly challenge was in my case super easy and it took me like one to two hunts each game, because i had a wraith in two of the three runs and in the third run an oni, that was blinking like only twice the whole hunt. Maybe i didn't see the blinks because of the awful tier 1 flashlight. I did not check for mimic, but it worked out for me. 🙂 As a newcomer, I loved this challenge.

  5. took me and friends 20 minutes, here is what to do:
    1. Throw in at the loop place a single spirit box, ask it during a hunt "are you here?" if it answers, great! if not move on.
    2. Throw there salt and uv light too, footprints? great. No foot print greater it's a wraith for sure. Footprints with uv light? dam 2 evidences if spirit box!
    3. only look for ghost orbs in rooms, like fix ones for example bathroom.
    4. apart from the above just look for general signs/qualities, like banshee screams, deogen being SOOO SLOOW that they literally cannot catch you unless they spawn on you, revenant speeding up, etc. There are a TON of telltale signs.

    Me and my friends got all 3 days done in… 15-20 minutes overall?
    One time I went inside "scream, it's a banshee" and went out lol.

    Also brightness really makes a difference on this map:
    brightness 4.0: easy peazy lemon squeazy, you don't even need a flashlight
    brightness 0.0: go to the generator, hope the ghost doesn't disable it and wield parabolic microphone to see which side it rotates on you because that's the loudest usually.

    The looping location is the woods surrounding the campfire.

  6. Ended up having fun with this challenge even though Woodwind is a doodoo map (worse that they made it rain). For my last one I did exactly what Insym did with the salt and glowstick to try to get footsteps but when it didnt step I knew immediately it was a Wraith. First two ghosts took ages though. I like challenges like this that force you to be creative when trying to find evidence!

  7. when I did this challenge right when it came out, looping around the campfire was still working (it lost line of sight of me and kept leaving the fire pit area)

    also, absolutely will confirm getting spirit box while it's lightly walking towards you during a hunt is a good strat. that's how i got spirit box easily.. just wait for a hunt and backpedal and keep asking questions hahaha
