Phantom entities in DS2 introduce tense encounters that heighten atmospheric dread. Initial confrontation occurs near Mexico’s scientific facility while transporting vital supplies, requiring neutralization before progression.

Ethereal figures manifest as dark anomalies in this zone. Maintain distance and employ crimson explosive devices obtained earlier. These spectral disruptors detonate on contact, affecting targets within marked zones.

Access equipment menu by holding right directional input. Select explosive devices offering multiple charges per slot. Use L2 to aim trajectories – R2 executes standard throws while extended holds enable distant targeting for major confrontations.

Red targeting zones indicate effective impact areas. Partial target coverage suffices – deploy devices near environmental surfaces for optimal dispersion. Each successful elimination reduces anomaly levels, monitored through periodic updates.

Firearm effectiveness remains limited until later stages – prioritize explosive countermeasures during initial encounters.
