Summary
Lethal Companyhasplenty of frightening enemiesfor you to run away from both inside and outside the main buildings. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to meet them all, you’ll know how dangerous they can be. One creature is known as Ghost Girl, who haunts you from a distance and is generally just really creepy.
There aren’t many ways to fight against Ghost Girl, but there are ways for you to avoid her and stay alive. She has certain conditions for both spawning and chasing, so knowing those can become a lifesaver. If you want to keep heading in, haunted or not, here are a few things to keep in mind when dealing with her.
1Who Is Ghost Girl?
Ghost Girl is a little girl who appears in a red and white polka-dotted dress. Naturally, in the industrial-like setting, that’s terrifying. Your first instinct is to stay away from her, which is an instinct you should listen to. She haunts Company employees. And if she touches them, they die.
There’s not much known about Ghost Girl’s story or why she appears other than to terrify innocent scrap collectors. Her movement and mechanics seem to mimic hide-and-seek, since she appears and disappears randomly around you. Ghost Girl is unique compared to the other monsters as she can’t be killed, making her incredibly powerful and someone to avoid.
2How To Tell If You’re Being Haunted
Aside from directly seeing her, there are a few ways to tell whether you’re the unfortunate target of Ghost Girl. You’ll want to keep track of the audio and visual cues that will tell you when she’s nearby:
Any one of these signs means Ghost Girl is nearby, so be careful where you look in case you provoke her into attacking.
3How Ghost Girl Picks A Target
Several factors come into play when Ghost Girl chooses to haunt. Players haveparanoiaandinsanitylevels that contribute. The most paranoid player is whoever turns their mouse the most. Insanity takes a few more things into consideration, like whether you’re outside or inside or what time of day it is.
Ghost Girl also considers the amount of scrap you’re carrying and its value or how injured you are. All of these will increase the likelihood of becoming the next victim of Ghost Girl’s haunt. Hitting your friends with the stop sign doesn’t seem so funny now, does it?
Editor’s Note:Yes, it’s still very funny.
4She can travel inside and outside the building.
Many of the monsters in Lethal Company can be avoided by running in or out of the main entrance or the fire exit. Whether you’re being chased by Eyeless Dogs or see The Bracken heading your way, those doors will always act as a barrier.
Ghost Girl, on the other hand, ignores that rule and follows you everywhere. She could spawn behind you if you’re deep in the building or keeping an eye on the surrounding areas back on the ship.
5Stay with someone when you’re being haunted.
A good rule for playing Lethal Company is that being in groups can be a huge help when exploring confusing maps. Sticking with your friends can make it easier to find an exit or keep an eye out for lurking monsters or valuable scrap.
If you’re being hunted, staying close to someone can make it easier to handle. They can look out for other monsters while you focus on the present danger. When the seemingly inevitable happens, they can grab you and your stuff and head back to the ship if she hasn’t started haunting them, too, that is.
6Be careful of what scrap you’re carrying.
If you’re being hunted, there’s a high chance you’ll lose whatever valuables you carry. If you’re near an exit or back on the ship, dropping everything for your friends to pick up is a good idea. If you’ve ventured further into a building, you should make your way to an exit or let others carry as much as possible.
It’s important to try and get as much scrap as possible, especially in later days when quotas are higher and youneed to sell everything. You don’t want to lose valuable scrap far inside the building and be the cause of your and your friends’ demise.
7Stay on the ship.
It’s easy not to worry about all that valuable scrap when you don’t have any. If you know you’re being haunted early on, heading back to the ship is a good way to keep all your items safe while taking on the role of guiding your friends back home.
While Ghost Girl can still track you inside the ship, you’ll at least be easy to find for your returning friends. It is, however, difficult to run away from Ghost Girl inside the ship because of the small amount of room and potential dangers outside.
8If she starts skipping towards you, run away.
Unfortunately, there’s no use for the shovel, stop sign, orother purchased itemswhen Ghost Girl starts running towards you. If she does start heading your way, the best thing to do is go in the opposite direction as fast as possible. She’ll chase you for a while and then reset back to following you at an unsettling distance.
You can keep an eye, or ear, out for any signs that might tell you she’s nearby. Just be careful that you don’t run into any other creatures when you’re running away.
