General/Tips
The AR Demon Scanner is an optional thing that can be accessed from the title screen. There's another version in-game but it gives no rewards and is only for taking fun pictures. In AR Demon Scanner, you take pictures of certain things/animals/objects to summon demons to talk to them. Each session is made of two questions/requests. Having two good answers to the demon will grant a very successful rating, making one mistake will get a successful rating and making two mistakes will result in a failed session.
- It's much easier to look up images for these said things and point the mobile phone's camera to it on the screen than going after the real things, even if the object is before you, with a few exceptions, like the Eye decoder, which can find your eyes on your face.
- Some scanner decoders, like the Eye and the Horn, are very lenient, easily finding the eyes on a face or a horn on a goat, but others, like the Scale (it requires a specific type and possibly only white models) and the Scarf (it must be arranged in a specific configuration, forming a loop), are very picky, so it's better and easier just to look them up online on another device and display it in front of the camera.
- If the scanning fails, subtle changes, like rotating the phone to crook the scanned image (e.g., the Fork needs to be diagonally positioned on the screen), pointing the camera upper or lower to put the image off-centre (e.g., the Bed must be lower on screen, not in the middle), moving the camera back and forth to change the scanned size (e.g., the hand's Palm must fit all on the screen, but not made too small, allowing for a thumb to be cropped off) and changing the screen brightness may help.
- If the tentative image doesn't work at all, try another one, with a different background (some decoders prefer white, black or grey backgrounds, while others work with anything) or lighting (the Ball usually needs a shadow cast under it, to show it's spherical, not just a flat circle). Once you find an image that works, save it, to have one that worked at least once, so you may not have to do the trial all over again next time. If it's hard to make the decoder identify a saved image, search for a replacement, with a different lighting, colour, hue, background and so on, because some images work better than others.
- The decoder's icon is, usually, a hint of the image it's scanning for, but not always (e.g., the Ring works with plain rings, like the one depicted on its icon, but rings with a gem are identified much easier).
- Demons may ask you to touch specific parts of their bodies (head/hair/crown, arms, hands, belly, tail), which can be a problem with fast moving demons, like Raiju, but the game allows retrying if missing the right spot. Some demons, like Shiva or Sandalphon, may appear too big on the screen, with their head beyond the upper edge, and ask you to touch something near that zone; you can easily overcome this issue by slightly tilting the device towards you, so that the camera points slightly higher without the demon following its movement.
- Demons may request an offering during conversation, as well as giving you as a gift after the conversation is over. Those items are only available and used on AR Summon, so, when a demon asks for it, just give it, if you have one. The offerings received after conversations are always related to the demon's likings.
- If you don't have the proper offering for a specific demon, don't try anything else (giving some other thing, not giving anything or trying to trick it), or the demon will get angry. Instead, shut down the game, reload and go back to the AR Summon. The app will ask if you want to continue the previous demon talk. It will go back to the beginning of the conversation, so there is a chance the demon won't ask for an offering, otherwise, restart again, until the pesky demon stops asking for something you don't have (or don't want to give it).
- Because a session is made of two talks, the demon may request two offerings. When you are low on the specific offerings for a demon, if the first talk is a gift request, restart the game, otherwise, you will lose the item if the second talk also turns out to be a gift request and you intend to restart the session.
- When a demon requests you to take a photograph of it, a camera button will appear. Take the picture to get a positive reaction from the demon; you are then given the option to save it on your device, but the reaction won't differ if you decide not to. If you have a Twitter account, before saving the picture, share it using the "Tweet" button: this will grant you, also, a random offering as reward, usually unrelated to the kind of demon being photographed. Be careful when taking pictures for sharing, because the real camera on your phone will be active during the whole conversation, so you may end up sharing more than you intended! As of June/2021, rewards for tweeting photographs were limited to 3 per day, the others are posted, but grant no rewards.
- Using AR Demon Scanner isn't something that I recommend for a long term investment as 365 days will net you 1825000 MAG but this is rather low for something that must be done daily. Note: It used to be 10 daily gems but was changed as of 2/20/2020.
- On earlier versions of the game, one object would summon exactly the same demon every time. As of 2021, a demon may be summoned by different objects and a certain object may summon different demons, randomly.
- The one time rewards such MAG/Macca/Superior Summon Files may be worth the effort, though. Completing these should be the long term goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
