Before You Start
Fiona Belli — Survival Strategy
Haunting Ground leans entirely on psychological horror: Fiona Belli has no gun, no blade, and no stamina to spare, so there's never a way to face a pursuer on even terms. Surviving the castle comes down to staying hidden, reading each pursuer's patrol, running the moment there's no other option, and leaning on Hewie whenever the situation calls for teeth instead of tact — that constant helplessness is exactly what makes you end up genuinely hating every one of them. This guide walks through all five chapters of her escape, from waking up in the dungeon to whichever ending your choices earn her.
Difficulty:
Hard
Key Points
- Companion: Hewie (feed, praise, and protect him)
- Chapters: 5
- Endings: 4 (A, B, C, D)
- Core Loop: Hide, distract, and run — Fiona has no real offense
Recommendations
- Keep Hewie's mood high — feed him found food over alchemical substitutes when you have a choice, praise him after he helps, and never punish him needlessly. His friendship grade decides your ending.
- Hide inside furniture (closets, under beds, behind curtains) the moment a pursuer enters a room rather than trying to outrun them in the open.
- Watch Fiona's panic meter as closely as her health — panicking makes her stumble, scream, and draw attention, which is often more dangerous than the pursuer itself.
- Save at every save point you find. A pursuer encounter can go wrong fast, and there's no way to recover lost progress otherwise.
- Brew Antimony and Magnesia early and often — Fiona's only real tools against a cornered pursuer are stuns and thrown damage, not a weapon she carries.
