changedGreetings mortals, With Halloween creeping ever closer we thought we'd share some of our ancient and essential survival tips for exploring Phantom Halls. This occult knowledge should serve as a guide to help you in your eternal battle against the undead. It's basic stuff, I mean seriously, who forgets to bring a flashlight? That’s like the first thing you should think to bring to a haunted house, talk about amateur hour! But, we’re here to help not judge... ok maybe a little... but mostly help. Here are some of the secrets you guys need to know to take on everything Phantom Halls has to throw at you, sometimes literally. Nailed it - Headshots A headshot, as you’ll know from being an avid gamer or just a big horror movie buff, is a sure way to take something creepy down quick. Headshots in Phantom Halls now do even more damage, which is all the more reason to aim for the noggin slayers. We’ve also upped accuracy - so now a headshot really is a headshot, but a steady aim is needed, so clam those nerves before you take the shot! Violence isn’t always the answer - Blocking/Parrying It’s not always about hitting things, although granted under pressure or due being scared half to death it might just be an involuntary reaction. Using a melee weapon to keep an grotesque enemy at arm’s length is always a good call. Even better, you can use them to block attacks and parry. As soon as you see that red exclamation point, quickly hit your character’s action button. If you time it just right, you’ll block the attack, leaving the enemy wide open for a nasty strike of your own. Just don’t miss! Zombies bite you know!
addedSeriously people?! - Use a flashlight (It does include batteries) The first rule of any horror situation: don’t forget the flashlight. We even provide the batteries, just point & shoot... and then shoot again but with a shotgun, and you know generally keep shooting. Giving a flashlight or a torch to one of your party members gives you an accuracy and damage boost when using ranged weapons. Who knew it could have more than one use right? Killer House Party - Switching characters is a must Sometimes if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself... or through someone else by taking control of them... yep, pretty sure that’s how that saying goes. You can switch which character you’re using whilst in the mansion by hitting the spacebar and then clicking on the crown of the character you’d like to switch to or, alternatively, by pressing the F key. Switching party leaders can allow you to lead with a melee weapon, save on important health points, or protect your most valued character! Every little yelps right? We hope you’ve found these tips and tricks helpful. And remember, our new patch just recently went live - take a look at what it includes: https://steamcommunity.com/games/587920/announcements/detail/1712944354430943975 Until next time, RIP folks!
