Make sure that everyone's electronics are turned off as well to prevent the ghost from being naturally led to the room. The simplest way to identify a Deogen by its behavior would be for players to stand in a room that is comfortably big enough to kite the ghost in, but would be less likely for it to enter by being more distant from the Ghost Room. It is worth noting that when the Deogen is stunned with smudge sticks, it will maintain the speed at it was at when affected in most cases, the Deogen will be moving at its minimum speed, meaning that the Deogen will only roam a very short distance before being able to chase players again. Smudge Sticks are recommended in case the playing being chased gets cornered or is otherwise in a bad position, allowing for them to move to a more favorable area to continue kiting the ghost. Keep server lag in mind if you misjudge the ghost's server-side position and coast around the ghost too late, it may kill you. Though the ghost always knows where the player is, its slow speed near a player opens up more opportunities to escape even in places where one would normally die, such as the Edgefield Street House kitchen or garage.

To avoid unnecessary deaths, players who are not kiting the ghost should stay in another room, ideally one which also allows some form of escape in case the target has to enter. Since there is almost no way to survive a hunt simply by hiding when the ghost is a Deogen, it must be either looped or kited until the hunt ends, ideally around a kitchen counter or in a long hallway. On Nightmare difficulty, the Deogen always has Spirit Box as one of its two pieces of evidence due to its unique response. Weakness: Deogen require a lot of energy to form and will move very slowly when approaching its victim. Strength: Deogen constantly sense the living. These are the strengths and weaknesses as listed in the journal: The Deogen blinks faster during hunts it is visible for longer intervals and/or is invisible for shorter intervals. If the player asks any question through the Spirit Box while standing within 1 metre of the Deogen, it has a 33% chance with each question to produce a unique response of constant heavy bull-like breathing, instead of a regular response. The Deogen does not alter its speed based on line-of-sight. The Deogen's speed is based on its pathfinding distance to the target player and has three thresholds: above 6 meters, between 6 and 2.5 meters and below 2.5 meters.īetween 2.5 - 6 metres, the ghost becomes slower as it approaches the player. One can also use Smudge Stick to force the Deogen to repick the nearest target when the smudge effect runs out. It will occasionally 'refresh' and repick the nearest target throughout the hunt. When the hunt begins, the Deogen will pick the nearest player (by Euclidean distance) to move towards. The Deogen's hunt sanity threshold is 40%, instead of the usual 50%.ĭuring a hunt, the Deogen always has line-of-sight with all players on the map in other words, it does not use the 'roaming' mechanic. The Deogen is more likely to interact with the D.O.T.S Projector and Ghost Writing Book in other words, it will on average write in a book earlier than other ghosts, and show up more often as a silhouette on the D.O.T.S Projector.
