Tips
  • Smudge Sticks are most effective when used just before a ghost initiates a hunt, or when you need to escape a hunt in progress.
  • Using Smudge Sticks can help gather evidence, as some ghosts may perform unique interactions when smudged.
  • Be aware of the Smudge Stick's limited duration and the ghost's potential to hunt again shortly after the effect wears off.
