Finding the right body can be a little tricky when you don’t know which clues are real and which ones are tricks. This guide will help with that! [SPOILERS WITHIN]
To Start
There will be spoilers in this guide, so if you want to experience the spooks unsullied, I recommend playing through 3 or so shifts on your own!I’ve given each body a nickname since the names and ages are randomized every shift. がある 4 different bodies but you will only see 3 per shift.
The Smirker
Karen
アル
DILF (He looks like our dad, 右?)
This guide will be organizing clues into least to most reliable. It’s good to keep note of every clue and haunt, but some can largely be ignored and some are nearly a guarantee of the right body.
Least Reliable
HauntsCuts Appearing on the BodyI find this usually happens as you become more possessed, and isn’t indicative of which body the demon is in.
The Body Moaning or Speaking on the Embalming TableThe Body Speaking After You Put the Mark on Its ChestThis is always just the Demon trying to confuse you. Fully disregard what it says and have confidence in the clues you’re relying on.
The Body PointingThis is the start of a mini Haunt.
Apparitions Involving the Body You Are Embalming
The Body Contorting on the Embalming TableWhile this may seem like a more damning piece of evidence, it is usually the precursor to a scripted haunt. You can see DILF practicing some yoga here.⬇
Somewhat Reliable
Apparitions Involving a Body You Are Not Currently EmbalmingI feel like this one can clue you in to a potential right body, but a small portion of the time it is not the right body. I would usually go in with the ashes to get the house and cross-check that with my demon name to confirm.
Cold Storage Doors SlammingOne game I had two different doors slam, and one other time all doors slammed at once. Every game where only one door slammed ended up being the correct body so this one is very nearly a guarantee.
Bodies Pulled Out of Cold StorageThis clue has actually never led me astray, but I’m hesitant to put it in the Most Reliable section. I’ll pay attention to what people say, and after anther 50 bodies or so I might switch this if it is a consistently reliable tell for the Demon. In this example I was putting away The Smirker, and Karen popped out, indicating that she was the right body.⬇
Bone Cracking Sounds Coming from the BodyI usually hear these while looking at the chart over a body. It seems to usually be the right body, but I need more examples to be confident.
Most Reliable
Smiling Body-This is a guaranteed sign of the possesed body. I usually only look for smiles once the jaw has been wired shut. また, don’t be fooled by The Smirker. Below I’ve included his resting face versus an actual smile for reference.⬇
No Smile:
笑顔:
TwitchesThis is apparently very rare, if it’s not part of a haunt then you definitely have the right body.
Demon MarkThe recent update changed the mark so you will only see one per game, もしあれば. It can be trusted. I have screenshots to see it on Al and the DILF for skintone varity.⬇
Ashes Revealing the Same House as the Demons NameIf your demon name is correct then a matching house on a body is a guarantee that it is correct.
The House of the Demon Appearing in Your SketchIf you have yet to narrow down your demon name, the house appearing in your sketch can help. It’s never a trick. この例では, I am possesed enough to reveal the House of Immolation.⬇
