Rehaunted Camera and Magnifying Glass Guide

Use the magnifier to reveal a hidden subject, take a useful photo and keep a way out during a Haunting.

In-game exampleThe figure exists inside the lens while the surrounding hallway appears empty. Compare both views before moving.
Quick answer

Sweep with the lens to find a subject, then hold the revealing angle for the photo. During a Haunting, a successful flash blinds the entity so you can move through it if it blocks your exit.

A paranormal figure appears inside the magnifying glass while the hallway outside the lens looks empty.
Inside versus outsideThe figure exists inside the lens while the surrounding hallway appears empty. Compare both views before moving.
The magnifying glass reveals a violent event layered over the present-day bathroom.
Read the whole revealed sceneDo not focus only on the ghost. Note the room, victim, position, and action shown through the lens.

How to sweep with the magnifying glass

Start at one doorway and move the lens in overlapping passes: left wall, center, right wall, floor, then the far doorway. Pause whenever the image inside the circle does not match the room outside it. The developer has shown that paranormal entities and clues can be visible only through the lens.

Audio matters. If you hear movement or a voice but normal view is empty, stop walking and scan the nearest doorway and blind corner before pushing deeper into the room.

What to record with the camera

Take a photo when the lens or another tool reveals a specific subject that changes the case. Frame the person, object, or event rather than a featureless wall. A developer explanation says photographing evidence makes it usable on the investigation board and can open discussion with your partner.

  • Keep the revealed subject centered.
  • Hold still long enough to confirm what the lens is showing.
  • If the shot does not register, adjust distance and angle.
  • Check the board immediately after a successful discovery.

Use the camera to get past the entity

  1. Stop in a place where you know the route back out. Use the magnifying glass to locate the entity if normal view is empty.
  2. Switch to the camera and photograph the entity when it is in view. Use the flash to blind it.
  3. If it is blocking the exit, move through the entity once blinded. Update 01 changed the collision so it can no longer trap you at that moment.

If the photo does not advance the investigation

Check that the camera is in hand, then reframe the subject. For a clue, look for the photo on the board. For the entity, use the photo as an escape tool during the encounter. If a clue opened a radio choice, confirm it with Interaction before returning to the room. Radio steps
