Lethal Company is a relatively new game that came out on October 2023, which pits the player(s) against all kinds of horrors that lurk around in one of the many moons that the players can choose to land, where they can try and loot all the goodies inside for several days to trade them in for cash. That is… if they make it out alive.
On many Moons that the player(s) can explore, several Entities will confront them inside and outside the building, sometimes even surrounding the Ship, the beacon of hope in the lonely space of terror. This is why learning about the Entities, their actions, and how to escape them is as crucial as the looting itself.
However, there is one Entity within the game that can be very frightening and can end a player’s life very easily if they don’t know how to counter this Entity, the Ghost Girl. This guide will help you identify Ghost Girl’s presence, how she spawns, and how to escape from the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company. Let’s begin.
What is the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company?
The Ghost Girl is a very frightening Entity and possibly the worst one in Lethal Company if you don’t know who she is or how to counter her. Unlike other Entities, of which all players can see them, the Ghost Girl only haunts one player at a time. While appearing harmless at a glance, she can kill her target without other players knowing what hit the unfortunate target.
Moreover, the in-game Bestiary has no information regarding this Entity, making her presence deadlier as you need to know her mechanics by trial and error. However, we know that the Ghost Girl is a humanoid Entity that roams around the facility wearing a red dress, symbolizing a cheery girl looking for playmates to play a game… A deadly game.
The Ghost Girl’s Behaviors
Now that we know the general understanding of the Ghost Girl within the game, let’s move on to her behaviors, and see her patterns of movements and attacks to help you have a better chance of escaping the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company.
In short, the Ghost Girl has two stances: Stare and Chase. Stare happens when the Ghost Girl manages to find her target and practically set her sights on that player, which is usually accompanied by many distinct signs, such as:
- Lights or terminals flickering
- Giggling or heavy breathing from the Ghost Girl
- The target player’s audio and hearing become muffled and difficult to perceive their surroundings
- Hearing a faint chime(s) of a grandfather clock, albeit a distorted one
The Ghost Girl has her system to determine which target will she pick during that certain round of play, utilizing both the Insanity meter and the Paranoid meter, in which the player who has the highest point on these two meters, will be far more susceptible to be the Ghost Girl’s target compared to other players.
As for Chase, the Ghost Girl must satisfy several variables to determine if she will enter the chase sequence with the target player. You can see the formula below, courtesy of the Lethal Company wiki page.
Chase Formula
There are 2 ways for her to engage in chasing you:
- The moment you look at her, a formula is checked,
- “Times you’ve spotted her” >= 3-5 or “Times she’s stared at you” minus “Times you’ve spotted her” > 2.
- If any of those are true, there is an 85% chance she will start chasing you.
- If the distance between you and the girl is less than 5 Unity Units, there will be a formula check (there is more formula but the only important thing to remember is this):
- “Times you’ve spotted her” >= 2.
- If that is true, there is a 65% chance she will start chasing you.
How to Escape the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company
If you are being haunted by the Ghost Girl during a Moon run, the very first thing you should do is remain calm and not panic, as a wrong move might lead you to your death. Here are several tips to make sure you survive your encounters against the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company:
- Listen to the Sound Cues. The first clue that might help you identify yourself as the primary target of the Ghost Girl is the sound cues that she lets out, usually by the sounds that you can read in the Ghost Girl’s Behavior part of this article.
- Escape the Building. If worse comes to worst, she will begin her hunting phase and start skipping her way to you, and any contact with her during this phase results in an instant death, so the way to avoid this is to get as far away as you possibly can, usually by escaping the building through the Main Entrance or the Fire Exit. You should be fine if you manage to stay away from her more than 50 Unity Units.
- Inform Your Teammates. As the other players are unable to see the Ghost Girl, try to communicate with them that she is currently haunting you. This allows you to coordinate with them regarding Scrap loot and manning the Ship.
- How to Avoid the Chase Stance Completely. An alternative to counter the Ghost Girl in Lethal Company is to negate her Chase Stance completely. This is doable by simply NOT looking her way or turning around when she spawns. This behavior is noticeable by giggling or breathing noises, so if you hear these noises, do not find her location and simply go forward to move away from the Ghost Girl’s location.
