Introduction
There are three types of media in the game. Photos, Video, and Audio. You can document various paranormal happenings with these methods. While not required to ID the ghost they are very worth filling in as many as possible as they increase the pay out of the investigation and are required to get the perfect game bonus.

In order to get a perfect game you must fulfill the following requirements.

  • You must accurately ID the ghost
  • Take 5 unique photos
  • Record 5 unique videos
  • Record 3 unique Audio recordings
  • Complete the 3 optional objectives
  • and find and collect the bone placed somewhere randomly on the map.

Each form of media can record things that would make sense for them to count toward. For instance a photo can't track movement so it won't count taking a photo of a thrown object, but a video would count for something thrown. Below I have listed all the things I am aware of that count towards the various media types. If I missed something feel free to let me know in the comments below.

Recording a media type more that once will count it as a duplicate. Duplicate media are worth far less than normal and won't count towards getting a perfect game. This only counts if they are the same type of media. For instance a photo of the ghost and a video of it won't count as a duplicate. Same goes for something like a firelight being blown out. Getting a video and audio recording of it count separately and won't be a duplicate.

For some of the media you may need to drop a piece of equipment on the ground then swap to the media tool needed in order to get the media needed.

@NOMNOMPLOX I'll try to fill them in as I can. I'm mostly relying on my own gameplay to fill in the info here.

Could you also mention if duplicates occur if you take a video and sound of something? And what counts as duplicates?
NOMNOMPL0X 29 Aug @ 5:35pm
