Raindancer?

[Twintania]

It seems there is always a trick to unlocking a restless spirit in each scenario however I havent found any significant way to unlock Raindancer.. is there any real way to unlock him immediately or do you just have to wait for a mortal to use the toilet? it sounds like unlocking all 3 ghosts and getting 5 pumpkins might be by complete luck.. I know getting all 3 ghosts in Calamityville horror and the best rank is by pure luck. We have the mortals strange AI to thank for that

Prima Official eGuide says:
"Once the wasps’ nest has been destroyed, use Terror powers to make mortals need to go to the toilet.
Once they have finished doing their business, they flush the toilet, laying Raindancer to rest."

I think it's best to try it AFTER mad doctor shows up, because they are not busy looking for a book.
I'm going to test it later.

Good idea I can see that strategy making sense.. as long as you dont scare them to badly

If you're using the All Ghosts Mod you can use Harriet & Shapeshifter. She will never search for the book and also not have to go down to the basement which makes it quite likely for her to use the toilet. This is legitimately how I got all pumpkins here while freeing her.

Turns out Prima's Strategy Guide was right after all.

When combined with Uneasy, powers causing Heavy Normal Terror (such as Terrorize, Terror Incarnate, TK Storm, others described in Guide)
cause mortals to run to toilet and vomit (ReactionRunToToilet).

It seems to happen almost 100% of the time on fresh (unscared) mortals.

Using this, Raindancer can be freed fairly quicky:
1) at the start of scenario use Flower Power on mortals right away (with Stonewall or another ghost that can be bound near the entrance)
2) bind a ghost with Terrorize (like Ghastly) to the nearby axe
3) destroy wasp's nest somehow (Stonewall's Tremor)
4) use Terrorize trying to hit only 2nd and/or 3rd mortal (you don't want to hit 1st mortal - Bruce Elm, because he has very low willpower),
    one of them will run to the toilet and vomit

There are probably even better ways to do this.

Interesting... Damn nice find if it's reliable. I'll put it through some rigorous testing while cleaning up my revised guide and include it (with credit of course) if it proves out.

Cheers. ^_^

Looking forward to the guide.
Perhaps I will replay the game again once it's done.

It's coming along. ^_^

Still a lot of work to do, but this time I'm quite committed to actually publishing the damn thing... much unlike versions 1.x - 2.x which MAY still exist somewhere on some lost HDD, but I think I can finish V 3 long before I'd ever find them anyway. xD
