Fatal Frame III: The Tormented Characters Guide

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's break down the main players you'll be dealing with in Fatal Frame III: The Tormented. Understanding who's who and what they can do is super important as you dive deeper into the Manor of Sleep.

Rei Kurosawa

Rei is our main protagonist, a freelance photographer who's been having some seriously disturbing dreams about the Manor of Sleep ever since her boyfriend passed away. She's basically pulled into this nightmare world and is trying to figure out how it connects to the creepy Tattoo Curse. Keep an eye on her unique ability:

Unique Abilities: Flash

Rei can use a 'Flash' ability. Think of it as a quick stun – it'll knock ghosts back, giving you a precious window to snap a shot with your Camera Obscura, maybe even a Fatal Frame! You start with a set amount of flashes each night, but if you exit and re-enter the dream world, it resets to the default amount.

Kei Amakura

Kei is a writer who's really into folklore and urban legends. He also finds himself drawn into the Manor of Sleep and acts as a source of information for Rei. He's not much of a fighter, though; his Spirit Power is pretty weak, so he relies more on his extensive knowledge and good health to get by. His special skill is pretty handy when you're in a pinch:

Unique Abilities: Hiding

Kei can duck down along walls to hide from ghosts. It's not foolproof, but it's a lifesaver when you don't have the Camera Obscura handy. You'll know if a ghost spots you by the filament on the bottom right of your screen: blue means you're hidden, red means you've been seen.

Miku Hinasaki

You might remember Miku from the first game! She's living with Rei and helping her out as an assistant. Like Rei, she's been pulled into the Manor of Sleep, apparently lured by visions of her deceased brother. Her Spirit Power is strong, which means she can really make the most of the Camera Obscura. She's got a couple of cool tricks up her sleeve:

Unique Abilities: Sacred Stone & Double

Miku's 'Sacred Stone' ability lets her briefly slow down time, making it much easier to line up those critical shutter or Fatal Frame shots. Then there's the 'Double' function. This lets her charge up one shot and then immediately charge a second one for double the damage! To pull it off, you need to charge the camera until all the icons are lit, then hold the shoot button to charge the second shot. If you nail a Fatal Frame with this combo, the subsequent shots in the Fatal Frame sequence will also hit for double damage if you time them right.
