Power

Yamaoka’s Haunting

Yamaoka’s Haunting

Yamaoka's Haunting: phase-walk for up to 5 s at 7.04 m/s; her body is replaced by a stationary Husk.

Full power text

The Spirit can use her power, Yamaoka’s Haunting, to enter an ethereal plane and reappear at a new location.

Tap and Hold the Power button to charge. The Spirit will depart her physical body, leaving behind a stationary 'husk'.

While Yamaoka’s Haunting is active:The Spirit may traverse freely to a new location, moving at a faster rate for a short duration. She is still confined to movement within the physical environments and surroundings.The Spirit leaves the physical plane, losing sight of all Survivors. She can, however, still sense the scratch marks they leave in the environment.The Spirit will produce an audible cue at her current location.Once the power has ended, The Spirit retains her speed boost for a brief period and her husk fades away.

Using Yamaoka’s Haunting depletes The Spirit's power bar. The power bar will automatically replenish over time. The power bar must be fully replenished before it can be triggered again.

Gens keep regressing whenever someone lets go, making it easier to track Survivors even while phasing. After your first hook Hex: Hive Mind gives perfect gen information, and Haunted Ground makes cleansing totems very risky.

How to counter

  • During a phase-walk she emits a directional sound audible up to 24 m: listen to it rather than watching the Husk.
  • She sees Scratch Marks and hears your sounds while phase-walking: a late, quiet change of route fools her.
  • The gauge recharges in about 15 s: after a full phase-walk she has no power for a while: a good moment to reach a safe area.
