Hi everyone, I'm practicing the 100% ghosts category and have run into a question about the mannequin ghost in MB2.

I've seen a couple of runs on the leaderboard purposely get hit by the mannequin to end the encounter ASAP, but the requirement for adding that ghost to your collection is actually to dodge it until you regain your stamina.

The rules say to view each ghost, but does that mean to add each ghost to your collection, or simply to encounter them in some way?

I just wanted to ask for some clarity about that. For now I will be on the safe side and do the full mannequin encounter.

I think its fine just to get it moving then ending the encounter letting it hit you.

100% GHOSTS NG + should be a closed valve to collect mermaids, open the door to run is not collected

So now that the rules have changed and we must do the full mannequin encounter... It's worth taking a look at ways to do the encounter as quickly as possible...

And as it turns out, scallion showed me a technique which saves a bunch of time. (Originally found by crazycider)

I made a quick demonstration of it. Take a look:

You can 'free the mannequin' by turning on the lamp, and then reaching exhaustion outside of the classroom. Then you can freely go wherever. The mannequin will chase you out but as long as you don't touch him you can continue your route, and he'll eventually disappear at which point the encounter will be complete.
