Quick answer

The Phantom Hound is a camera-based anomaly associated with the Day 10 inspection workflow. Sweep the visitor and surrounding scene, follow stronger interference, take a photograph, wait for it to develop, and compare the result with the current Manual before deciding what to do.

The important part is not memorizing a response from an older guide. Confirm the Phantom Hound evidence first, then apply the highest-priority instruction shown in your current build.

Phantom Hound camera workflow

StepActionConfirmation
1Read every Day 10 orderIdentify which instruction overrides another if evidence conflicts.
2Check ordinary documentsSeparate ID/photo mismatches from a scene anomaly.
3Sweep the full camera viewDo not keep the camera fixed on the face.
4Follow increasing interferenceStronger static means the relevant area is closer.
5Take the photographWait until the image has fully developed.
6Compare with the ManualTreat the photo—not static alone—as the evidence.
7Apply the active priority ruleUse the current order rather than a remembered Day 10 answer.

Phantom Hound versus a photo mismatch

EvidenceWhere it appearsHow to handle it
Phantom Hound / scene anomalyLocated through camera interference and the developed photoCompare with the anomaly reference and current order.
Document photo mismatchThe visitor and ID/pass photograph do not agreeApply the document-verification rule.
Camera staticLive camera viewUse it to locate evidence; do not make the final decision from static alone.

The August 20 update clarified interference intensity in the camera tutorial and increased the frequency of photo mismatches across visitor documents. That makes the distinction above especially important on the current build.

Common mistakes

  • Photographing only the visitor's face instead of scanning the surrounding scene.
  • Treating light static as a confirmed Phantom Hound.
  • Making the decision before the photo has developed.
  • Confusing a document mismatch with a camera anomaly.
  • Applying a fixed “always allow” or “always call security” answer without rereading the active order hierarchy.

FAQ

Where should I point the camera?

Sweep beyond the visitor. Move through the elevator opening, nearby background, and edges of the visible scene while watching for increasing interference.

Is camera static enough to confirm the Phantom Hound?

No. Static helps locate the evidence. Take the photograph, wait for development, and compare the image with the Manual.

What action should I take after finding it?

Follow the highest-priority Day 10 instruction in the current Manual. Patches can clarify tutorials and rebalance mechanics, so this guide does not replace the active order with a universal response.
