Has anyone watched my archived stream to see what I did to get the end?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I stood at the telephone. I took the 10 steps from the radio which is exactly the right distance. But from the entrance its also 10 steps I think.

The place of success might be any of the 3 puzzle spots, Hell, Radio and Phone.

Edited my post. Just got it but it was 3 hauntings. Didn't move or anything as they happened though unsure if that is a factor as well.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Never moving after a haunting didn't work after 2 of them. Looks like the spot constantly changes and you just luck out sooner or later.

EDIT: Just got it! There were 2 hauntings then I just said "J, Hello?" And after the 3rd haunting I got the giggle then another giggle and vibrations again.

Doubt me saying something did it but as Miami Wesker said its definitely about standing in a certain spot during a haunting.

I dunno... I got the giggle RIGHT after I finally started to talk for a bit. But never during the 1st or second haunting. It was the third I think.

First one I let pass at the radio. Second one failed at the phone. Third one was homerun.

Hmmm the plot thickens.
There's definitely more than one way to trigger as we have guessed but we might be onto a way to for sure get it everytime.

 

[misterck]

I have just started again and went from start to completion without even coming across Lisa lol.

At last sequence I walked straight to the phone and just stood till after the bells then walked to radio and back to phone and got no giggles, I then just continued to wait at the phone until I got all three giggles and phone rang in under ten minutes.

In this play through I grabbed none of the clues, the only time I used any sort of buttons was x for the gouge it out pic and twice I pressed R3 ( one to get her to close bathroom door and one to look through peephole).

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Finished it, thanks to tips on here and other sites. Here's my experience.

- Got to the final section.
- Tried a bunch of times, no headset on, no avail. Got "killed" once, made me jump a mile high. Went through blue and red corridors, and then back to normal lighting.
- Started playing with a headset. After the chime, ten steps and stop, heard a giggle.
- Sighted her in the FIRST corridor during a haunting (near the clock, I was near the phone). Scared the shit out of me because I wheeled around 360 degrees and she was suddenly there. She took a few steps towards me and I NOPED back around the corner where the bathroom is.
- Once the haunting stopped I went and stood where she was. Absolutely nothing happened and I thought I crapped out.
- Paced around a bit, said some stuff to the headset. When the haunting started again I went and stood back in the same spot near the clock (looking down to where the phone is).
- Suddenly, second giggle! The pad vibrated and I stood still on the spot. When the vibration stopped, a third giggle. Then the phone rang.

Hope this helps someone. Try your best to fulfil all that criteria and it should happen eventually.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I think the pause thing is not exactly a trick.

After the first giggle I just stood still w headset and got it after the 2nd haunting sequence, so basically after 5 minutes of waiting.

Pause probably equals standing still and waiting, but it takes longer based on when you unpause. I think it just takes 2 haunting sequences. Or every sequence comes with a certain success rate.

This I think you are just waiting till the spot rotates to where you are standing or something. The second giggle probably happened during the pause so to speak. Try that same method but at the mirror, I bet it works too.

 

[Newboi]

Is it possible to complete everything (just referring to getting the giggles and phone call) without looping once (basically right at the beginning) or do you have to loop a certain amount of times?

Also, what qualifies as getting "possessed" (is it when you hear voices, or is there literally a sequence where you don't have control of your own body)?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Voices/moaning when not walking, hearing a third 'deep' footstep when walking.

You basically saw her, came too close and she blazed through you. She didn't kill you because she already did, or it was your first run

First question: I haven't been able to finish yet but I think its necessary to loop many times in order to get to the end. Looping is part of the experience. Second: Play and see.

 

[misterck]

Also just to note the headset/mic has no bearing on it at all, I have finished it 3 times now and that last time I never had my headset connected.

Replicate it. If you can get it to giggle after you speak all the time then you got something. But if you can't replicate it then it was just a coincidence.

We need to distinguish the extra stuff that doesn't matter from the true triggers. Best way to do this is the scientific method, change a variable and try again. I did that last night and came up with a formula that works but I still am not sure exactly how.

But again I bet there are other ways. I am out of town so I can't try it out for a few days. BTW just don't answer the phone and reloop so that you don't have to redo the game again.

 

[djshauny]

I finally did it!
Did the same things that everyone did, first without a mic, and it didn't work, but when I used my mic, the phone rang from the firt try.
Now i can finally sleep.

Was you streaming?

 

[mgs2master2]

so im doing it right now, im stuck. Do i need to collect all the picture pieces? also would the apple earbuds work (since it is an essentially always on mic)

Im still a bit confused.

Yeah I need to redo because it was my first success.

 

[On Demand]

I uploaded the demo to youtube. Because I'm old school like that.

NOPE

Couldn't finish it.

Watching this made me realise how important lighting is and how it affects the look and mood of games. Anybody know if it's baked?

You mean the giggles? Yeah I got it on my first loop once. Loops do not matter, all it does is resets. Everything can be accomplished in the loop you are in. I am not sure if there is a way to break that loop where a reset is necessary just that each loop is solvable. Color lights, the hallway light, messages, radio voice, picture pieces all do not matter.

Possession is after she flies at you, if you stand still you will hear her. Also you hear extra footsteps when you walk.

 

[Batzi]

My glitch just said this game can't hurt you in different languages no colors.

this reminds me of the "Race" theme in TPP that he discussed yesterday during the Q/A with Geoff. The X-Ray portrays the human being as he is without showing his skin colour or anything that hints at his ethnic background. hmmm..

But if I had to guess I think there are multiple trigger spots and standing still is required. I actually doubt the use of a mic.

Its probably dynamic which is why different gamers have gotten different results. The thing that isn't dynamic is the 10 step thing.

Right theres things ive seen that non of my friends seen, did anyone here see it

1.Window Ghost, looks like a ghost having a spasm outside the window

2.Dead Child walking around upstairs you see him when the window pops

3.Most scariest one, Clock Ghost, when you hear the women cry, you zoom into the clock at 12, and you get a big jump scare?

Anybody see any of these

[Shojx]

Well, I finally completed it.

Though, I wasn't sure what I did exactly the first time, so I ended up running through the teaser again and finished the entire thing again in under 10 minutes. I had the mic on both times.

What I ended up doing was entering the room, walking to the area by the radio, and waiting until the chime signaling 0:00 went off. Then I walked 10 steps to the area by the phone, stopped, and heard the first giggle, like I normally did. Keeping my view facing the phone/candy/photos, I waited until the "sounds" started up, then I looked to the left and right to see if the haunting lady spawned anywhere, and I saw her past the alarm clock. I stepped forward a bit so I could see her more clearly, and then held R3 and just looked at her. Then I heard the 2nd giggle, and my controller started to rumble. Keeping R3 held, she rushed through me but I didn't let go of R3. My controller kept rumbling, and it felt like the vibrations started slowing down, and then I heard the third giggle, and the phone rang. And then from there, it was simple, just examine the phone, you get a message, then hear the door click, and you're done once you leave.

During my 2nd playthrough, I pretty much did the same thing once I got to the end; walked to the radio, waited 'til 0:00, walked 10 steps to the phone area so I had a good view of both hallways, heard the first giggle, waited until the "sounds" started up, then looked at both hallways. She was in the opposite hallway (by the radio) this time, but I did the same thing as last time. I just walked up so I could see her, zoomed in with R3, got the 2nd giggle, controller started vibrating then slowed down, she rushed, then I heard the third giggle, followed by the phone ringing.

I doubt holding R3 made a difference but I had tried simply looking at her after the first giggle, and nothing happened. Probably just a coincidence. I didn't even know you needed three giggles or anything until I finally completed it. I had gotten two before and my controller rumbled for a second, but then nothing happened after that, so I kept fooling around after triggering that first giggle until I managed to luck myself into the solution. Funnily, the 2nd time I was solving it, the haunting lady glitched up after she rushed me and her body was still there, kind of gliding away from me, visually stuttering until it disappeared from view.

Anyways, my overall opinion is that this teaser was both immensely fun and very interesting. The end was a bit random and frustrating, especially since I'm the kind of person who refuses to look up solutions to stuff like this, so I'll spend hours after hours until I either figure it out, or stumble onto the solution like I did with this. I love stuff like this though, so in the end I really enjoyed it.

I haven't seen any of them, but it makes me want to play this again until I do!
I kept staring out the windows hoping something would happen, but nothing ever did for me. ;'(

1 and 3

lol, how did you react to 3

i was walking around 20 minutes stuck, so i wasnt expecting anything when i looked at the clock, i woke the whole house up

 

[RyanPierre]

3.Most scariest one, Clock Ghost, when you hear the women cry, you zoom into the clock at 12, and you get a big jump scare?

What's this one? Is it a ghost attack that kills you?

 

[MiamiWesker]

so im doing it right now, im stuck. Do i need to collect all the picture pieces? also would the apple earbuds work (since it is an essentially always on mic)

Im still a bit confused.

Don't worry about puzzle pieces. Start a new loop. Wait by the phone when the bell rings walk 10 steps toward the radio and stop, you should get a giggle. If not walk back to the phone, jus do the 10 steps after the bell and you will get one giggle.

At this point you hear the music so Lisa is haunting. She won't appear where you are so if you were at the radio I would stand still for the entire haunting, maybe you get a giggle maybe not. When she is gone pick one of these spots, the phone, the mirror, or the door where the loop begins. Be standing still when Lisa haunts again, don't move for the whole haunting. If no giggle try another spot. One of those spots should get you a giggle.

After second giggle stand still the controller will vibrate, let it go. When it stops you will hear a third giggle and the phone rings, answer it, you win after you exit the loop.

Remember mic on. If you try all spots and nothing reloop, maybe you got a spot that I haven't found yet. Most of the time it is at one of those spots.

Seen 1 and 2, but 2 isn't a child, it's the same woman that is stalking you.

 

[Irishmantis]

What's this one? Is it a ghost attack that kills you?

Now thats the first one its the one after

when you hear the clock strike 12 you hear a Women cry, and you have to zoom in the clock for a good few seconds, crying sounds almost sound like their coming from the clock

 

[Irishmantis]

Seen 1 and 2, but 2 isn't a child, it's the same woman that is stalking you.

Oh my bad, thought it was kid, she looked very small, and i thought it connected to the fridge

who the fuck is that tall ghost who randomy spawns in ya face from the hallway?


If you havent seen 3 your lucky that was scariest jump ive ever gotton in my life, because i was not expecting it what so ever

Try it more times, don't answer the phone and loop to keep trying. What happens if she is in the mirror? It could be that you are standing near the phone both times and that was the trigger spot. But if you can replicate that many times you are onto something.

Pretty sure the tall ghost is still the same ghost as all the other encounters.

I have not seen 3.

But her standing there on the top is super creepy. Lot of people miss her there.

Yeah it's always Lisa.

 

[stufte]

Yah, and since she doesn't attack you there, stand and watch her. She stares at you for about 10 seconds then slowly turns and walks away. It's amazing.

 

[Irishmantis]

Jesus, sorry for the terrible phone pic, but if you can somehow see it, its not the same ghost as the Women

 

[glottis8]

Jesus, sorry for the terrible phone pic, but if you can somehow see it, its not the same ghost as the Women

It is the same. Its always the same... she might look taller just because she is almost floating. there are more screens of her around.

 

[DrkSage]

ok guys, so yesterday around 10:30pm i was playing and i reached the last loop and after hours and hours of moving around i got really frustrated and i checked GAF and found out the 10-steps trick, resested the loop, tried the trick and it worked... BUT! i couldnt get the second giggle so i got more frustrated so i paused and went to take a shower and after 10-15 minutes i come back and unpause the game to find out that my controller was vibrating! so i threw it back on the bed and waited to see what happens and got a giggle and the phone strarted ringing, so i answered it and got the youre chosen message.

so it got me thinking... is it really possible that theres a giggle by pausing the game for a certain period of time? maybe Kojima has something about the number ten? 10 steps and ten minutes? who knows.

also i forgot to mention that before knowing about the 10 step trick i used to trigger both giggle randomly and my controller always starts to vibrate when im next to the phone with my back against the window. Thats where it always started to vibrate but its really sensitive. If move the left joystick as soon as it starts to vibrate youre going to screw up.

 

[Irishmantis]

Actually looking at face just noticed the same hair as your, yep your right.

Trying now. I'll let you know at 2:21 lol. Yeah, number 3 was the scariest I had. Maybe I was just possessed though and staring at the clock and then turning triggered it lol.

[Irishmantis]

Its official now!

Ive seen them all but never seen the one in Blue light that looks, freaky
did you see her after looking at the radio at 12, biggest scare of my life!

bad idea at playing 3.30 AM too lol, woke up everyone

Is there i a Capture of the radio one?

[Price Drop]

Just beat the teaser.

After the bell, started at the radio and walked 10 steps to the phone for the first giggle. Stared at the phone through 2-3 hauntings and yelling in the mic in between and throughout and nothing happened.

Walked over to the radio and looked at it. At the next haunting I started saying "HELLO" into the mic and got the second giggle. Controller started vibrating, received the message on screen about staying still. Then the phone rang.

For the second giggle, I do think you need to be at the spawn point the ghost happens to be at in that session. For some, the respawn point is at the phone which would explain some players not even moving to receive the second giggle. Hot spots are most definitely the phone, radio, mirror, and loop entrance.

Probably one of the best teasers (and scariest) ever made.

hmm.. i am not sure which one you are talking about. did you capture it? photos in this game are great... you would think they are not scary.. but man.. they are so creepy.

I'm getting sweaty just looking at those pictures. This creeps the hell out of me. I'm such a wimp.

she just looks like she is trolling you there haha kinda laughing at you.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

All I got from the clock is a creepy demon voice once, was different from the other demon voices I heard elsewhere. You can see the ghost by starring at it?

 

[cchum]

Tried pausing for 10 min after first giggle-nope
Tried saying hello several times to the phone like an idiot-nope

You don't need to talk, as long as your mic is plugged in.

Cycle betwen the phone, radio, bathroom mirror, and the beginning of the first hallway before the clock. When you hear the music/ghost sounds start up, stand perfectly still and wait for the giggles. If it doesn't happen, move to the next location and try it there. Keep cycling and you should get it pretty fast.
