Beginners Pro Guide

The primary goal of Demonologist is to identify and escape or exorcise the evil spirit haunting the investigation site. To achieve this investigators must collect evidence to determine the type of spirit while surviving any retaliatory attacks. Here is a comprehensive guide to a typical investigation.

Familiarize yourself with the tools
There are seven investigation tools at your disposal to help you collect evidence. Each tool elicits a different response from spirits depending on their type so it is essential to experiment with all of them to narrow down the spirit's identity. When a spirit reacts positively to an investigation tool mark it down in your journal with the J key.

• EMF: Detects electromagnetic fields left behind by spiritual disturbance. The strength of the field is measured from 1 to 5 with 5 being the strongest field.
• ESG: Place the ESG down in a room and if the spirit reacts strongly the ESG displays the spirit's visible form above it.
• Easel Canvas: Place the Easel Canvas down in a room and if the spirit is feeling creative they may paint you a message or picture.
• Ecto Glass: Look through the Ecto Glass' lens to find hidden substances left behind by the spirit namely glowing white ectoplasm.
• Spirit Box: Activate the box and speak into your computer's microphone to talk directly to the spirit. It is a good evidence when the spirit responds.
• UV Light: Shine the UV Light to reveal ghostly fingerprints on doors and light switches.
• Thermometer: Measures the temperature of a room. A freezing room is clear evidence. Alternatively you can see your own breath if you are standing in a freezing room.

In addition to the primary investigation tools there are miscellaneous tools that can help you survive.

• Flashlight: A small pipe flashlight to light up the darkness in front of you. Always have one with you!
• Candle: Provides a small aura of light around you slowing down sanity drain while lit.
• Sanity Pills: Restores 25% sanity.
• Crucifix: Hold it out to repel the spirit during a hunt destroying the Crucifix in the process.
• Tripod Camera: A stationary camera that can be viewed through the tent monitors.
• Photo Camera: A handheld camera that lets you take photos.

You can carry up to three tools with you and drop tools by pressing the G key allowing you to switch out at any time. For beginners it is recommended to take a Flashlight or Candle and two evidence tools of your choice. Start taking Crucifixes or Sanity Pills when your sanity gets low.

Monitor your sanity
Your "health" in Demonologist is your sanity which can only be monitored accurately from the spawn tent. Your sanity starts at 100% and slowly drains over the course of the investigation. Wandering a dark and spooky locale while witnessing supernatural events can be taxing on one's mind causing sanity to decrease over time. Some spirits can drain your sanity even faster just by being near you.

It is advisable to take a break and exit the investigation site occasionally to go back to the tent for a sanity check-up. The lower your sanity is the higher the chance the evil spirit will initiate a hunt.

Survive spirit hunts
Depending on the length of your investigation you may encounter a hunt. Watch for your flashlight strobing as that is the telltale sign a hunt has begun. You must rely on your wits and quick reflexes if you do not have a Crucifix on you.

During a hunt all exit doors lock and the spirit becomes mostly visible while it actively hunts down any investigators trapped in the building. You suffer an excruciatingly painful death if the evil spirit catches you! Once the spirit catches an investigator or a certain amount of time passes the hunt ends.

Either hide or run during a hunt. Unlike Phasmophoria there are no designated hiding spots like closets and lockers so all you have left are small rooms. Hiding can work but you may get unlucky if the ghost decides to randomly wander into your hiding spot.

Most of the time running away is the better option. Most spirits do not move fast enough to have a significant speed advantage over you so as long as you manage your sprint stamina efficiently you can usually stay ahead of a spirit.

You can sprint by holding down the SHIFT key. You can only sprint for a short amount of time but walking normally refills your sprint stamina. It is best to sprint in short bursts just to maintain distance with the spirit but not for the full duration.

Try to break the line of sight with the spirit by ducking behind large furniture or into other rooms as fast as you can. Breaking the line of sight enough makes the spirit lose interest putting them back into "searching mode."

If you are feeling daring an even better tactic is to loop the spirit. Spirits cannot phase through objects and must take normal paths just like you so you can get a spirit stuck chasing you around an object. This takes some practice to pull off but with time this method helps you dodge spirits like a pro.

End your investigations early
The main objective is to find three pieces of concrete evidence to correctly identify the spirit. Once you are sure you have the correct spirit type lock it in using the journal. At this point you can either take the car and leave the investigation site or stay and complete optional objectives and even exorcise the spirit.

It is perfectly fine to take the car and leave if you have all the evidence and it is recommended for your first couple of investigations. You still get paid and if you end up dying to a hunt you lose all the tools you bought for the investigation. It is a good idea to build up some money first and get comfortable using the basic investigation tools. Once you feel ready enough you can start tackling the optional objectives and try exorcising.

In-Game Tarot Card List

Below a list of tarot cards and their corresponding effects. The Sun card restores your sanity while the Moon card can drastically decrease it. The Guillotine card is a death sentence while the Devil card initiates a hunt. The Aggressive card angers the ghost while the Flame of Fate card can either increase or decrease your sanity depending on the color it burns. The Void card has no effect while the Slave card traps the ghost in the room it haunts. The Angel card has the power to revive a dead player.

How to obtain and utilize a Crucifix

In order to obtain and utilize a Crucifix in the game players must earn currency by completing investigations. This item is crucial for repelling evil spirits during hunts and must be held out in front of the player when encountering a spirit. If the spirit is in pursuit using the Crucifix will cause it to break allowing the player to escape and hide. Only one Crucifix can be purchased and used at a time and once it's been used during a hunt it cannot be used again.

When investigating in The Demonologist, come prepared with tools to protect oneself and maintain sanity levels. As the player delves deeper into the world of evil spirits their sanity levels will decrease making it crucial to have items such as Candles Sanity Pills Holy Water and Crucifixes on hand. These items can also be useful during Spirit Hunts where the player is being chased by a malevolent entity. By utilizing these tools players can increase their chances of survival in the dangerous and unpredictable world of The Demonologist.
