High Scoring Strategy Guide for Paranormal

[fedire]

Actually, there are 3 parts to the skillshot:
Hitting the ball through the Nessie spinner is one part; landing on the rail leading to Nessie is another part; and exiting the launch rail in the middle (requires a low power launch) is another part. Performing one part awards a skillshot, 2 parts a double skillshot, and all 3 a super skillshot.

As you can see, there is only one way to get the super skillshot: you must exit the launch rail in the middle, thus dumping the ball at the upper right flipper, then hit the ball up the Nessie ramp in the center of the playfield to get to the rail leading to Nessie, then go through the spinner.

But the double skillshot can be earned in multiple ways, for example: a full power launch going all the way to the scoop, followed by a well-timed hit with the upper right flipper to get onto the rail leading to Nessie (skillshot), then go through the spinner (double skillshot).
Or: a medium power launch that doesn't quite reach the scoop but lands on the rail leading to Nessie (skillshot), followed by the spinner (double skillshot).

Another method to get 1 million very easily is to enter the Haunted Mansion and to shoot the ball outside so it get caught by the UFO.

But thank you for sharing your Skillshot technics, I'm sure it will be useful.

Year, right! But at least in my opinion it's very tricky to move the ball in this mini game to the other direction because the very strange magnetic field. I try this by holding both buttons and release them as short as possible or is there another trick to do that?

Also relaunching the ball to the house in possible 2-3 times if the ball is going down but you still need a bit luck to hit the door 2 times for entering.

Haunted House

I usually don't favor grinding, but my strategy is to use the haunted house mission a lot. I have fun every time and rewards 20 Mil with each completion.

I managed to up my score to 900 million last night using the levitation ball tactic.

It would have been much more but I managed to drain my second ball without winning any extras. That was ‘annoying’ – in fact it caused me to unleash several expletives.

There is a tremendous amount of pressure when you start your second and third balls to make sure you win the initial extra ball. The difference between having 1 ball and 6 is immense!

I will probably try and get one decent 18 ball game with this table and then move on to other objectives.

What's the bet that Zen make this the next tournament table?

In search of... ONE TRILLION POINTS! Aaaaaaargh.

re: Doppelganger mission.

Once you understand the magnet you'll activate the mission nearly every time. Doppelganger is going to be my choice of missions when I make a run at this table. Once you've hit a jackpot with one ball, you're free to focus purely on raising the jackpot levels, in fact you will not want to hit a second jackpot and release your captive ball. If you're bad at precision shooting with two balls like me, you can essentially be using this strategy with one ball. Once your jackpot is high enough, (all relative), then obviously focus on shooting jackpots with both balls at that point.

When you lose the ball, the game just reverts to its normal cycle and your captive ball becomes the one in play, where you rinse repeat.

Got pretty discouraged when Cloda crushed my soul, but the itch to play again is coming back like it always does

Interesting idea about doppleganger, might give that a go at some point.

But that target has been reached by blue.

Can someone tell me if the jackpot bonus carries over for "real" balls? I know it does from ball 1-1 to 1-6, but will it also from 1-6 to 2-1?

I'd test myself, but I'm already knee deep in a run at this table

It does, it carries over for the whole game else you won't be able to build it up so nicely. Can't remember but SotD is only per ball (not even just per "real" balls) which is not as spammable.

If you time it right, you can use the balls momentum to get the ball to the UFO. It is tricky.

[KBI35]

To be honest, it is not. Getting 1 or 2 millions on this table is very quick and easy, there are other methods to do it : for example, with the Clairvoyance Reward, you can get 2 millions by just selecting the right entry in a DMD menu. Another method to get 1 million very easily is to enter the Haunted Mansion and to shoot the ball outside so it get caught by the UFO.

But thank you for sharing your Skillshot technics, I'm sure it will be useful.

& making the devil dizzy..If you are good you can make 20m shooting the same ramp over & over.

[Zuprichy]

Yeah, a lot of things give you millions in this table.But if you want to enter the billions kingdom, use Cloda's strategy. Choose the multiball you prefer, but increasing the multiball jackpot is the only way to score big.And be ready for a VERY long game...

[Cloda]

I played the other multi-balls a bit and have now come to the conclusion, as others have suggested, that the levitation multi-ball is not necessarily your best bet for a super high score.... or to put it in a different way, for the same amount of time spent on a game, some of the other multi-balls will end up giving you a higher score than Levitation multi-ball.

The one that seems the quickest and most straight forward for me is the Dobbleganger multiball... once you get the magnet trick right for locking the ball in on the cube, it becomes quite easy to do.

The big advantage of this multi-ball is that you can basically store one of the balls away in one of the Bermuda triangle holes and then you can focus all your attentions on raising the jackpot much quicker than you would through levitation multi-ball. Once you are ready you can then quite quickly and efficiently score jackpots and Super Jackpots (you even get a consolation jackpot if you mess it up ).

Anyway... I didn't test it, it just looks as if it can be a much more efficient approach.

[Alipan]

Are there any particular bugs to look out for on Doppelganger multiball?

My game glitched last week on Levitation multiball after 4 hours play and I vowed not to return until the table is fixed.

I could be persuaded to try this method though if its not so buggy..

[Nekro Neko]

I'm on a Doppleganger game now, my first ball I raised the Jackpot to over 3m before a silly loss of my first ball (5 remaining to the next real ball), my score is already in the 100's of millions, due to the tables exponential nature, ball one is the lowest scoring ball and each successive ball will raise the score higher and higher.

I'm not sure how I feel about scoring points this way, but if I want to catch Cloda back up then I guess this is what I must do.
