, and Rancor

Difficulty Rating: Hard
(These Killers use mechanics that are specific to them and require more practice to be effective)
Lore
- Additional Lore can be found in Tome II - Reckoning: Steeped in Blood.
Rin was the only child of the Yamaoka family. She was raised in the dusty halls of a traditional house in Kagawa. She studied Education at Takamatsu, a private university, which weighed heavily on her family's shaky finances. Her mother got ill that year and the bills started piling up. Rin worked part-time in a futile attempt to help lighten the load.
Her father faced a debt that grew without end. He started working double-shifts in hopes of obtaining a promotion. That's when he started losing sleep. A dark whisper would keep him awake all night, reminding him of his hopeless situation. Exhausted, he started to lose grasp of reality. Fighting to deny what the voice whispered at night, Rin's father made a desperate move. He met with his superior and explained his situation. He begged for a bonus, an advance, time-off---anything.
His request was denied. The company had launched a defective production line that was costing them dearly. Someone had to be held accountable and Rin's father fitted the bill perfectly. He was fired after twenty-two years of service.
That evening, Rin came home from work. She'd stayed late to entertain customers that lingered at the restaurant. As she parked her bike in the shed, she heard her mother's scream come from the house.
She rushed in, climbing up the stairs to her parents' room. There she found bits and pieces of her mother on the floor. Her limbs were clean-cut, tangled up in an unnatural position. Her breasts were sliced up, revealing her rib cage, which was cracked open. Rin gagged.
A sharp Katana came crashing down. Rin blocked the blade, which bit into her bare forearm. The shock of recognition interrupted her pain: her father was wielding the Katana with a stoic expression. She cried out to make him stop, but he slashed her arm again.
She rushed off and slid on the blood-smeared floor. Using the door frame as support, she raised herself up. The Katana ripped through the wall, cleaving her other arm. She screamed in pain as she limped into the hallway, only to be met by her father's blade.
She stepped back, trembling, as she held together the soft loose flesh of her abdomen. Images of her mother's tangled limbs flashed before her eyes.
Rin charged at her father, making him stumble back. He punched her torn abdomen and she recoiled in pain. As she struggled to get back up, he slashed her thigh, making her collapse on the floor.
As she crawled towards the stairs, he grabbed her hair and yanked her against a partition. The glass shattered on impact and she fell through, landing one floor down.
She heard footsteps somewhere above her. With effort, she moved, worming her way into a sea of broken glass. The shards gnawed at her, ripping her flesh. He had to be stopped. He would not get away with what he'd done to her--with what he'd done to her mother.
Coughing up blood, her chin grazed the glass, adding to the bleeding. A low-pitched heartbeat started to ring in her ears. Her body felt so heavy she could no longer move.
The ground shook with her father's footsteps. She knew she was not going to make it, but she no longer cared. She would make him pay, in this life or the next.
A dark Fog slowly veiled her eyes, but it could not subdue her rage. She would not rest--not yet. The darkness whispered, promising blood and revenge.
An oath was made and Rin closed her eyes.

Power: Yamaoka's Haunting
![]() |
Yamaoka is the name she carries from her ancestors, who unleashed hell on the battlefield. The Spirit draws her power from their wrath, haunting the living as retribution for her suffering. The Spirit can use Yamaoka's Haunting to enter the Ethereal Plane and re-appear at a new location. |
![]() |
YAMAOKA'S HAUNTING:
Press and hold the Power button to charge Yamaoka's Haunting and initiate a Phase-Walk.
The Spirit will depart her physical body and enter the Ethereal Plane, leaving behind a stationary Husk.
Using Yamaoka's Haunting depletes The Spirit's Power gauge (5 seconds).
It will automatically replenish over time (15 seconds).
The Power gauge must be fully replenished before another Phase-Walk can be initiated.
Phase-Walk:
- The Spirit may traverse to a new location at an increased Movement speed (7.04 m/s).
- The Spirit loses sight of all Survivors, but still sees the Scratch Marks
they leave throughout the Trial Grounds.
- The Spirit emits an audible, directional cue while Phase Walking within 24 metres of her ethereal form.
- When ending a Phase-Walk, The Spirit retains her Movement Speed boost for a brief moment and her Husk fades away.
Husk:
- The Husk emits The Spirit's regular Terror Radius
.
- Survivors may disperse the Husk by shining a Flashlight
on it.
Passive Phasing:
- When not Phase-Walking and only from the Survivor's Point of View, The Spirit constantly phases in and out of view at random intervals.
Power Trivia
Movement Speeds:
- Phase-Walking: 7.04 m/s
Yamaoka's Haunting:
- Power Charges: 5 charges
- Coupled with a Power Depletion rate of 1 c/s, this makes Yamaoka's Haunting last for 5 seconds.
- Coupled with a Power Recharge rate of 0.333 c/s, this makes recharging Yamaoka's Haunting take 15 seconds.
- Activation time: 1.5 seconds
- Speed Burst duration: 0.5 seconds
- This refers to how long after exiting a Phase-Walk, The Spirit will carry her increased Movement speed.
Husk:
- Shining a Flashlight
upon the Husk will dissolve it, which does not affect The Spirit.
- Perks tracking The Spirit are unable to track her ethereal form and will only track or reveal the Husk.
Miscellanenous:
- The Spirit is able to hear all sounds Survivors make while she is Phase-Walking.
- The Spirit is able to see Survivors interacting with the environment (e.g. moving grass-blades) while she is Phase-Walking.
- The Spirit can still see the location of Loud Noise Notifications while she is Phase-Walking.

The Spirit is part of 2 DLCs:
Change Log
Patch 2.2.0
- Quality of Life: standardised the Lunge mechanic so that 4.4 m/s Killers now lunge at the same speed as 4.6 m/s Killers.
Patch 2.2.1
- Buff: reduced Yamaoka's Haunting Recharge time from 20 seconds to 15 seconds.
Patch 2.3.0
- Rework: reworked The Spirit's phasing audio:
- Survivors within the Husk's Terror Radius do not hear the phasing sound.
- Survivors outside the Husk's Terror Radius can hear the phasing sound, but it is non-directional.
- Survivors no longer hear The Spirit's breathing while she is phasing.
- Quality of Life: reduced the footstep audio.
Patch 2.3.3
- Buff: adjusted The Spirit's Husk animations while activating Yamaoka's Haunting to make the transition more seamless, allowing for more mind-game potential.
Patch 3.4.0
- Quality of Life: adjusted The Spirit's speed curve after exiting a Phase-Walk to drop off more gradually and over a longer period of time.
- Nerf: removed the collision between The Spirit and Survivors while she is phasing, removing her ability to use this to detect invisible Survivors' presence.
- Nerf: restored visible 3rd person (Survivor POV) for when The Spirit is vaulting, removing this mind-game potential.
Patch 5.3.0
- Nerf: The Spirit now emits a directional audio cue while phasing.
- Change: received an Add-on Pass, reworking several Add-ons.
- Change: The Spirit now features a unique Terror Radius
and Chase Music.
Trivia
- The Spirit occasionally performs a passive phase, leaving a trail of "still images" behind her, confusing Survivors about her movement.
- The Spirit was the first Killer to break Pallets
and damage Generators
with her Weapon.
- In a stream show-casing the development of The Spirit, it was mentioned that she cost the Developers about 30,000 Dollars to create.
- In the teaser First Cut, The Spirit was voiced by Isabelle Mocquard.
- In the game, The Spirit is voiced by Gabrielle Murphy, also known as the Community Manager not_Queen.
- The Spirit is one of the very few Killers featuring a complex range of facial expressions.
- The Developers programmed a special facial rig that is unique to her, allowing her to show a very wide range of emotions.
- The Spirit does not step over, but rather climbs through Windows
to get to the other side.
- Originally, if a Survivor watched her vault a Window, they would just see her standing in front of it, then teleport to the other side.
- As of Patch 3.4.0, The Spirit received a custom third person vault animation. She climbs onto the sill then steps down on the other side.
- Originally, if a Survivor watched her vault a Window, they would just see her standing in front of it, then teleport to the other side.
- The Spirit is one of few Killers to have a unique Hatch-closing animation.
- This animation has her stab the Hatch with her weapon.
- The Spirit was the second Killer to vocalise her attack.
Lore Trivia
- The Spirit is the fifth female killer.
- The Entity
originally chose Rin's father as a new Killer.
- During the confrontation between Rin and her father, The Entity sensed greater potential in Rin's rage over her father's despair and decided to choose her instead to become a new Killer.
- The Spirit is directly related to The Oni, who is a paternal ancestor of hers.
- The Spirit resembles an "Onryō", a ghost in Japanese culture, believed to be able to enter the world of the living and cause pain in order to fulfil their need of vengeance.
- The Spirit's last name, Yamaoka, roughly translates to "Mountain Hill".
- According to Louis McLean, The Spirit did not have her bandages at some point during development.
- They were ultimately added as the non-bandaged Spirit was "distracting" and "it [might have] caused a stir in some countries".
- Takamatsu University, the college that Rin Yamaoka attended, exists in real life. It is located in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.
- Since Takamatsu University was established 1996, it can be argued that the Spirit's backstory happened between 1996 and 2018.
- The Spirit's Tattered Tradition Outfit (a Kimono) is based on her Japanese heritage, a theme which is also shared by Yui's Kumi-Daiko Performer Outfit and The Oni's Outfits.
Voice Actor
- The Spirit is voiced by Gabrielle Murphy, who at that time worked as the Lead Community Manager on the Game.
