Shadow Realm Guide

Guides

Mayday! You’re being sent to the Shadow Realm. Don’t panic. Everything you need to know about surviving can be found here. 

The best thing to do is drop all your items unless you are playing with other people, then send the person who hasn’t contributed equipment (in case of death). Enter the portal, avoid all the shadows and the Bag Lady (Keeper of Shadows), and locate a pale ball of light. Once you have found the ball of light, stand next to it and say, “let’s go to the light.” The ball should take off, don’t worry about following it. Go hide and wait for the spirit to let you out.

Surviving the Labyrinth of Death

Guides

You die while playing with friends and find yourself in a long hallway. RUN!!. You have only two options: the ghost can harvest your soul for power, leaving you trapped outside the house while your friends defeat it, or you can escape the labyrinth and assist them as a ghost.

Items and Equipment Guide

Guides

You start the game with only your basic equipment and purchase more as the game progresses. Here is a list of items you’d be foolish not to buy:

• Sanity Pills: These are for restoring your sanity. Having lights or Floodlights on will help increase your sanity levels as well.
• Spray Paint: Used to place sigils for Rituals and protection.
• Book of Exile: This has all the necessary information for performing the Rituals.
• Salt: Used to determine the ghost’s movements as a side objective in the game. You have to watch the ghost step into the Salt for the objective to be marked complete.
• Candle: You will need a lighter to light the candle, but you can find a lighter while looking through the house. Be warned that ghosts can blow out your candle, and walking around the house with a lit candle will not increase your sanity.
• Incense: This is only used during hunts. Once lit, it will stun the ghost for a few seconds allowing you to hide.
• DOTS Projector: Used for finding ghosts, it is a must-have for every ghost hunter.
• Voice Recorder: Used for communicating with ghosts. You left-click to turn it on, ask it a question, and left-click to turn it off. You will only hear if the ghost responded on the play-back.
• Crucifix: Ghosts fear this item, but you need to be careful as not all ghosts are affected by the Crucifix. The Crucifix needs to be in your hand or on the ground for the ghost to walk over for it to work. When a ghost touches it, the crucifix will take damage, and the hunt will stop. This has been included in this list as it can be confusing to use.

Beginner’s Guide

Guides

When you begin to play Ghost Exile, you will notice that you have limited items. Don’t worry, the game isn’t designed for you to start exorcising ghosts from the get-go. You start by identifying the ghost and completing the objectives so that you can earn money for the necessary exorcism items.

Your Ghost Hunter Book has an index page with 7 sections listed on it. All you need to know as a beginner, starting with basic equipment, is Evidence and Types of Ghosts. By searching through the house with your video recorder, interacting with the Ouija Board, fixing the fuse box, and using the water heater to help gauge the temperature in the house, you will be able to identify the ghost. Once that’s done, get back to the tent, go to the objectives board, and collect on your hard work.

Guide to Sigils, Rituals, and Exiling Ghosts

Guides

There are only two tools that are needed to exile ghosts, your Spray Paint and the Book of Exile. The two items needed for the Rituals can be found in the house, Lighter and the Ghost’s Passport/ID. 

Spray Paint is for two different types of Sigils:

• The Protective Sigils - help prevent the Ghost from getting to you while the Ritual is being cast.
• The Ritual Sigils - Used to exile ghosts. The name of the Ritual to exile the Ghost will appear in your Ghost Hunter Book once you have found Evidence of which Ghost it is. After placing the sigil on the floor all the necessary items for the Ritual will appear inside the tent.

The Book of Exile

Without this Book, it is impossible to exile a Ghost. Once you know what Ghost it is, consult the Book to see which Ritual it is and what items (found in the tent) are needed in banishing this Ghost. 

The Ritual

You know what type of Ghost it is. You’ve set up the Ritual and the Protective sigils. If you have a Favorite Item, now would be the time to burn it.  The candles will have to be lit with a lighter, and you will need to know the Ghost’s name for the Ritual (Passport). Make sure you have these before you start. Open up the Book of Exile and start reading out loud whatever words appear. You will have to do this quite a few times as the Ghost will open portals, blow out candles, and start hunts. To complete the Ritual and exile the Ghost, you will need to find these portals, walk up to them and say “close” to carry on with the Ritual. After reading out the ritual, the Ghost will be exiled.

How do you escape the Labyrinth of Death?

Guides

• As a ghost, you have infinite Sprint, so hold your shift key in and do not stop running. 
• If possible, avoid going back the way you came. 
• If a cabinet bursts open, turn and run. The Ghost can teleport to them and ambush you. Already open cabinets are generally safe.
• If the Ghost catches you, spam the F key. You have 3 chances to get away when caught.
• You need to locate a blue door to escape the Labyrinth but be warned as most will be fake and turn red. If/when you find the door upon touching it (left-click), you will appear back in the house with a few ghost powers.
