Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Guias

If you want to experiment or breeze through a second playthrough, community trainers exist (think WeMod, PLITCH, or Cheat Engine scripts). Common toggles:

• Infinite health/Spirit
• Infinite Banish Gauge
• Damage multipliers and movement speed
• Currency edits

Guidelines:

• Single-player only.
• Back up your saves before tinkering.
• Run offline and disable overlays if something conflicts.
• Don’t submit bug reports if you’re modded—test clean first.

Two protagonists, two paths to power:

• Red spends Skill Points on Evolution trees for attacks, passives, and combo tools.
• Antea uses Essence Points earned mostly from Haunting Cases to evolve Manifestations and team synergies. If you skip side cases, you’re hobbling her.

Gear matters, but not just the numbers:

• Equipment comes in seven tiers (Rudimentary to Relic).
• Upgrade at shelters using materials you find out in the wild.
• Some items have passive skills that beat raw stats in the long run—build around synergies, not just the highest number.
• You can buy attribute upgrades, but innate passives don’t change, so choose base items wisely.

Currencies and where they fit:

• Pieces of Eight: general shopping.
• Witch Stones: specialty currency from the Mire Witch—sell spectral loot to fund it.
• Soul Shards: late-game upgrade material dropped from certain collectibles (see Soul Grabbers below).

Early unlock priorities:

• Pick up Perfect Switch upgrades early—damage skyrockets with each unique one.
• Grab sustain and resource passives so Red’s health and Antea’s Spirit flow between phases.

This world is a shared universe with Vampyr. You’ll find lore notes referencing Vulkods and an achievement nodding to the Brotherhood of St. Paul’s Stole. Timeline-wise, Banishers plays like a thematic prequel—no homework required, but fans will spot the threads.

Visual oddities:

• Checkerboard/black textures, especially on ultrawide or with custom FOV/Reshade. Try disabling Reshade, resetting FOV to default, switching to borderless windowed, and updating GPU drivers.

Stutters and dips:

• Can show up on heat-limited or older rigs and even some high-end CPUs.
• Try: Windows High Performance power plan, updated GPU/Chipset drivers, cap FPS to your display, disable background overlays, and toggle off Windows GameDVR/Xbox DVR.

Audio crackle/hiss:

• Set your output to 48 kHz, turn off spatial sound, and test a different default device.
• If it starts when the game boots with a controller, unplug during launch and reconnect at the menu.

Housekeeping:

• Verify files, keep the game on an SSD, and avoid aggressive overclock profiles if you’re chasing stability.

Soul Grabbers (spectral orbs):

• There are 128 total. You’ll hear a distinct wail when you’re close—use headphones.
• You need the rifle (unlocked fairly early after three Haunting Cases in The Dark Woods) to break them.
• They drop materials like Soul Shards and feed into achievements like “Good Hunter” for snagging 50.

Bibles:

• There are 15 to find, tied to the schoolteacher Hugh Batcheler. Check hubs like Fort Jericho and The Harrows.
• Completing the set adds character flavor and a neat quest payoff.

Treasure maps:

• Multi-step scavenger hunts like Mysterious Cache, Sentry’s Cache, and the tricky Hanged Man’s Cache.
• Some treasure maps reward other maps—nested loops that escalate the haul.
• A few require ability gates, so revisit zones as you progress.

Practical tips:

• Sweep areas using Antea’s senses and your ears; the game’s audio design is a legit compass.
• Don’t ignore side paths—materials and coin stacks add up fast.
• Clear out Soul Grabbers as you go so upgrades don’t bottleneck later.

Your first big decision sets the tone for everything: swear to Ascend Antea (let her pass on), or Resurrect her (bring her back by sacrificing the living). Every Haunting Case after that either supports your oath or chips away at it.

How choices actually work:

• Blame the living: the settler dies.
• Banish the ghost: spirit is forced out for good.
• Let the ghost Ascend: spirit moves on peacefully.

Those decisions roll up into your finale. There are five endings:

• Ascend fulfilled: You consistently spared settlers and banished/ascended spirits. Antea passes on; it’s bittersweet but true to your oath.
• Resurrection fulfilled: You blamed almost everyone. Antea returns, but it’s a dark, heavy “victory” that leaves scars.
• Ascend with guilt: You ascend Antea but blamed too many people. Red can’t shake what he did.
• Resurrection fails: You flip-flopped or didn’t commit hard enough. Things go catastrophically sideways.
• The loop: Breaking your oath can lock you into a time-loop twist with the Seeker and the Swamp Witch Siridean showing their true connection.

Tips to lock in your goal:

• Going Ascend? Favor banish/ascend options and spare settlers.
• Going Resurrection? Blame virtually everyone in Haunting Cases.
• Don’t switch oaths mid-run.
• Make manual saves before resolving a case in case you want a do-over.
• New Game Plus helps if you want to chase the opposite path later.

Combat Mastery – Perfect Switches, Gauges, and Ghost-Busting

Guias

You play as two halves of one solution:

• Red: saber and rifle, builds the orange Banish Gauge, uses Decoctions to heal.
• Antea: spectral powerhouse with Manifestations, spends blue Spirit Points and fades out when they hit zero (she doesn’t “die,” she just can’t stay).

The rhythm:

• Land hits as Red to charge Banish and refill Spirit.
• Swap to Antea to melt specters or possessed enemies.
• When Antea’s Spirit runs dry, you’re forced back to Red—reset and rebuild.

The secret sauce is the Perfect Switch:

• Swap to Antea at precise moments in Red’s combos or dodges to unleash defense-ignoring strikes.
• There are several unique Perfect Switch skills; each one you unlock adds +20% damage to all Perfect Switch attacks.
• Practice timing off front/back dodges and multi-hit chains to trigger them consistently.

Survival and targeting tips:

• Red needs healing; Antea needs pacing. Don’t blow all Spirit at once.
• Specters can jump into nearby corpses—separate them, then delete the specter first.
• Use elevation and the rifle to control space.
• Break environmental clutter for safer paths and cleaner sightlines.

How to Work Haunting Cases Without Wrecking Your Oath

Guias

The flow:

• Talk to locals, scout the area, and gather ritual components (candles, pyrite, shells, bones).
• Perform the ritual to manifest the spirit and learn what truly happened.
• Resolve with one of three outcomes: blame the living, banish, or ascend.

Why it matters:

• Cases aren’t one-off stories—they ripple. Shopkeepers change attitude, support shifts, and people live or die based on your calls.
• Some cases only keep certain NPCs alive with specific resolutions. Read the clues before you swing the axe (metaphorically).

Play smart:

• Align every resolution with your sworn oath if you care about a specific ending.
• Do Haunting Cases early to power up Antea via Essence and make future fights smoother.
• If you’re torn, manual save before the final choice and see both sides.
