At a glance
- The kindergarten is a reported search area, not a guaranteed spawn or a fixed respawn timer.
- Steam players report fire and explosive kills. These are community tactics, not a verified damage table.
- An outdoor dark humanoid is not enough to identify a Poltergeist. Use the behavior and your objective counter.
Identify the disturbance before attacking
- Listen for unusual voices and inspect doors or objects moving inside a room. The official August update describes Poltergeist sound and door behavior.
- Search Dogorsk’s kindergarten as one community-reported location. In the October 31 video, the author checks more than one room and also finds an empty candidate.
- Keep an exit route and prepare the weapon before entering. Do not chase every dark silhouette as the same enemy.

Use an area attack, then check the result
October 30 Steam replies describe flamethrower or explosive attacks in the affected room. Prepare the attack while you can still leave, avoid trapping yourself beside the blast and check the tracker after the encounter.
If the attack does not count, reconsider the target and the room instead of assuming more bullets will solve it. Claims that a specific drawing guarantees or prevents a spawn, or that shooting every moved object always deals damage, remain unverified. No fixed ammunition count or waiting time is established here.
