![]() However, as a secondary usage, the term obake can be a synonym for Yurei, the ghost of a deceased human being. These words are often translated as "ghost", but primarily they refer to living things or supernatural beings who have taken on a temporary transformation, and these bakemono are distinct from the spirits of the dead. Literally, the terms mean a thing that changes, referring to a state of transformation or shapeshifting. In Japanese folklore, an Obake (お化け), or sometimes "Bakemono" (化け物), is said to be a type of Yokai.Keep this in mind when playing on such custom difficulties. Note that there are difficulty settings that can change the default chance of a fingerprint being left on a surface, as well as the decay timer. Strong looping skills are very favorable in order to maintain sight on it for extended periods of time to catch it changing models during a flicker. If you are on a zero-evidence run, the Obake will never produce fingerprints, and hence can only be identified spotting its shapeshifting power during a hunt. It's also possible for an Obake to interact with nearby doors frequently enough that it can effectively "mask" an instance where it does not leave fingerprints during one interaction by instead providing them in a separate interaction moments later, as well as conceal its ability to quickly decay its fingerprints. Note that getting normal fingerprints, even several times repeatedly, does not rule out an Obake outright.Īlthough the Obake has a 75% chance to leave fingerprints evidence, due to probability, it is possible for the Obake to always leave fingerprints on surfaces that it touches much like any other ghost with fingerprints. If an Obake is suspected, checking a touched surface with a UV Flashlight or Glowstick each time it interacts with a door or the like is prudent to spotting the Obake's special fingerprints, both to maximize the chances of spotting them and to note any instances of them rapidly disappearing. If the ghost touches a surface and leaves no fingerprints, then later leaves fingerprints on another surface, or vice versa, this usually points to the ghost being an Obake. Two fingerprints can also identify an Obake. ![]() ![]() Strategies Ī six-fingered handprint usually identifies an Obake. Weakness: Sometimes this ghost will shapeshift, leaving behind unique evidence. Strength: When interacting with the environment, an Obake will rarely leave a trace. These are the strengths and weaknesses as listed in the journal: This does not affect its ability to occasionally not leave fingerprints on a surface. On limited evidence (1/2 evidence) games, an Obake will always have Fingerprints as one of its evidence types. going from standing to crawling) within a hunt, while otherwise retaining the same model, is also considered a shapeshift. The ghost changing into a different posture (e.g. This is guaranteed to happen at least once per hunt. It will then return back to its original model. This ability can be triggered multiple times in quick succession, making it possible for an instance of fingerprints to last for mere seconds before vanishing.ĭuring a hunt, the Obake has a 1/15 (6.67%) chance each time it flickers to shapeshift into a different ghost model of the same gender. For example, two fingerprints lingering on the map with 40 seconds and 70 seconds before timing out and disappearing are cut in half to 20 and 35 seconds remaining respectively. The Obake occasionally triggers an ability to reduce the remaining time for all existing, lingering fingerprints on the map by half. Five fingerprints on keyboards and Prison cell doors instead of four.Two fingerprints on a light switch instead of one.A six-fingered handprint instead of the usual five fingers.When creating handprints or fingerprints, there is a one-sixth (~16.7%) chance for the Obake to create a unique handprint/fingerprint pattern: Each time the Obake interacts with a valid surface, it has a 75% chance of leaving fingerprints, instead of the usual 100%.
