Hyperosmia in Phasmophobia: Understanding the Moroi's Weakness to Smells
Hyperosmia is a unique trait in Phasmophobia that affects how the Moroi ghost responds to Incense during hunts. This condition makes the Moroi extremely sensitive to smells, creating a distinct weakness you can use to identify it.
Key Points About Hyperosmia:
- The Moroi is stunned by Incense for 7.5 seconds (compared to 5 seconds for other ghosts)
- This extended stun duration is a reliable way to identify the Moroi
- Works with all Incense tiers, with different effective ranges:
- Tier I: 3 meters
- Tier II: 4 meters
- Tier III: 5 meters
How to Test for Hyperosmia:
- Wait for a ghost hunt to begin
- Get within range of the ghost based on your Incense tier
- Light the Incense and count the stun duration
- If the ghost is stunned for 7.5 seconds, it's likely a Moroi
Important Notes:
- The Mimic can temporarily copy this behavior, so gather additional evidence when possible
- Moroi's standard evidence includes:
- Spirit Box
- Ghost Writing
- Freezing Temperatures
- This method is particularly useful in No Evidence and other challenge modes
