Torii Post Shadow

Location Description

Shadow behind a vermillion torii post — note.com 物の裏; sample post shadow, not plaza tile.

Why It Works

Torii Post Shadow on Kyoto works because shadow behind a vermillion torii post — note.com 物の裏; sample post shadow, not plaza tile. Guide rating 80/100 — difficulty tier from note.com, not live match statistics. Published guides (Denfaminicogamer — Kyoto / Art Museum) emphasize pose discipline: Maple/balcony crouches and torii/bamboo prop mimics; avoid open plaza tile and the glowing 大 stair. Map context from Kyoto: Official still: red maple on the left balcony — sample leaf red + balcony stone, not the dark plaza tile (LEMORION / Denfaminicogamer). Color plan: Torso base samples Primary surface at Torii Post Shadow (F → paint menu, Space eyedropper); Shadow side samples Nearby shadow or darker patch at lock position; Limb / head edges samples Surface adjacent to limbs at lock height. Guide rating 80/100 reflects difficulty tier from note.com — a curated estimate from published walkthroughs, not aggregated match statistics. The core advantage is silhouette breaking: seekers scan for human-shaped lumps and value mismatches before they analyze hue. Torii Post Shadow gives you clutter, depth, or verticality that buys time when paint and pose are locked in prep.

Best Colors

TheGamer, IGN, and mecchachameleongame.wiki all recommend the in-game Eyedropper (Space) on the exact surface you touch — not fixed hex/RGB codes. Lighting and patches change effective values; the table below lists which surface to sample per body part and how to apply it.

• Torso base: Primary surface at Torii Post Shadow (F → paint menu, Space eyedropper) — Maple red vs torii vermillion vs plaza tile are different values — sample the surface you touch, not the dark floor.
• Shadow side: Nearby shadow or darker patch at lock position — HSV Value one step down — never sample a similar surface across the room
• Limb / head edges: Surface adjacent to limbs at lock height — 360° white-gap check before prep ends (SlashSkill #1 day-one mistake)

When To Use

• When this applies: v4.1.0 brand-new map — all spots experimental until lobby screenshots settle.
• When this applies: Official still: maple balcony, torii rows, and bamboo are the first landmarks to learn.
• When you can dual-sample maple red + balcony stone from the official still (Denfaminicogamer / LEMORION X)
• Torii / bamboo clusters before seekers learn the plaza first-clear
• When community-tested positions match your lobby size and seeker skill

When NOT To Use

• Open plaza tile as a long camp — lattice skylight sightlines punish imperfect paint
• Same 大 stair perch three rounds — official-still meme landmark gets first-cleared
• Single flat vermillion fill across torii wood and shadow — dual-sample is required
• When seekers in your lobby already slow-check this zone twice in one session — rotate

Color & Paint Plan

Body-part breakdown from published guides — sample with in-game Eyedropper (F → Space), then fine-tune HSV / metallic / roughness per surface.

Common Mistakes

• Copying the spot without the exact pose shown in community screenshots
• Sampling from a nearby surface instead of the pixel your body touches (SlashSkill eyedropper rule)
• Panicking and running when a seeker walks past instead of holding still
• Using default camera height habits — seekers eventually look up (Sewer pipe meta)
