Ghosts, or Anomaly enemies, can be a significant nuisance in Roblox's Animal Hospital. These spectral foes sap player Sanity and are often invisible, making them difficult to deal with. Fortunately, there are straightforward methods to reveal and dispatch them.
Spotting a Haunting
Several signs indicate a Ghost's presence. Players may notice doors opening on their own, hear a distorted, wispy sound effect, or experience a rapid Sanity drain labeled "-2 Ghostly Presence." Glimpses of the Ghost flickering between visible and invisible states are also a telltale sign. A strategic approach to preventing unwanted hauntings involves maintaining a strict "no open door" policy. When not actively treating a patient, ensure all hospital doors remain closed. Patients typically close doors behind them when leaving, so a persistently open door suggests a Ghost may be lurking nearby.
Dealing with Ghosts
To effectively combat Ghosts, players must first reveal their physical form. The Fire Extinguisher can be used near shop doors to spray and expose a hidden Ghost. Once revealed, the Ghost can be eliminated with a single shot from either the Gun or the Taser. These weapons can quickly banish the spectral entity back to wherever it came from.
While zapping a Ghost is the quickest way to deal with them, it's important to remember that they can intermittently turn invisible and will repeatedly attack your Sanity, dealing -2 damage for as long as they remain close to your avatar. If you find yourself overwhelmed by spectral disturbances, a comprehensive guide to all Anomaly types in Animal Hospital is available for further assistance.
