 **Why It's Sensory Exploitation**: 
 1. **Defined Perceptual Vulnerability**: Shepherds will flee when presented with dragon visual stimulus (they're terrified of dragons as established in game lore)

+2. **Item Matches Sensory Profile**: Terror draft produces dragon-like vision/illusion matching exactly what the obstacle fears  
 3. **Non-Confrontational**: Player doesn't fight or trick through dialogue—exploits their existing fear mechanism
 
 **Distinction from Distraction Physics**: The path clears because the shepherds' OWN perception is manipulated (they VISUALLY see Bobbin as terrifying). It's not an environmental distraction where they lose interest naturally—the obstacle runs out of explicit fear response.

+### Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis - Seance Ghost Deception (Team Path, IJOA)
+
+**Problem**: Trottier in Monte Carlo will only reveal the location of the sunstone if confronted with supernatural proof—specifically, evidence that Sophia's psychic abilities are genuine. The player can exploit his reliance on visual/auditory sensory experience by staging a convincing ghost appearance during the scheduled seance at the hotel.
+
+<small>Source: walkthroughking_ashley_walkthrough.html — "Convince him to come upstairs to the s?ance. Now you have two possible plans of action (again, do both): During the seance, take the flashlight from the cabinet, and pick up the bedsheet. Open the fusebox and use the circuit breaker. Wear the bedsheet and the mask, and then use the flashlight to create a convincing ghost."</small>
+
+**Sensory Exploitation Chain**:
+```
+VULNERABILITY IDENTIFICATION:
+1- Trottier dismisses Sophia's psychic claims → "I'll believe it when I see it" (explicit visual requirement)
+2- Player learns seance is scheduled at hotel room
+3- Hypothesis: If we can CREATE visual evidence during the event, he will believe
+
+COSTUME CONSTRUCTION:
+4- Obtain bedsheet from bedroom cabinet (classic ghost appearance trigger)
+5- Acquire strange mask from Algiers marketplace earlier (ugly mask, "you don't have to pay for it")
+
+POWER OUTAGE SETUP:
+6- During seance at hotel room → fusebox accessible in same location
+7- Open fusebox, flip circuit breaker → lights go out (creates darkness)
+
+SENSORY EXPLOITATION EXECUTION:
+8- Darkness activates → Trottier's visual range REDUCED to immediate light sources only
+9- Player wears bedsheet disguise, holds flashlight against it  
+10- Flashlight creates translucent "floating ghost head" silhouette on wall/bedsheet
+11- Trottier interprets as GENUINE supernatural evidence (seance successful)
+12- As reward for witnessing phenomenon → reveals sunstone location
+```
+
+<small>Source: walkthroughking_ashley_walkthrough.html — "Afterwards, make sure you pick up the sunstone, before travelling back to Algiers."</small>
+
+**Why It's Sensory Exploitation**:
+1. **Defined Perceptual Vulnerability**: Trottier requires VISUAL PROOF—his skepticism can only be overcome through sensory experience matching what he claims to believe ("I'll see it with my own eyes")  
+2. **Item Provides Counter-Stimulus**: Bedsheet + flashlight combination creates visual illusion specifically calibrated to trigger his supernatural acceptance response
+3. **Creates "Safe Passage" Through Belief System**: After witnessing the effect, Trottier grants access to sunstone information—barrier bypassed through PERCEPTUAL PERSUASION not combat or theft
+
+**Alternative Solution (Team Path Only) - Sensory Data Manipulation**:
+```
+Instead of ghost costume approach:
+1- Transfer control to SOPHIA before entering hotel seance room (character-switch available in Team mode only)
+2- Sophia uses her KNOWN psychic abilities + accumulated information from earlier floor exploration  
+3- Answer Trottier's test questions using knowledge gathered downstairs
+4- SUCCESS via different sensory modality: AUDITORY/INTELLECTUAL proof vs VISUAL deception
+
+<small>Source: walkthroughking_ashley_walkthrough.html — "Transfer control to Sophia before the s?ance and answer his questions using information learned downstairs."</small>
+```
+
+**Why Alternative IS Also Sensory Exploitation**: Both solutions target Trottier's PERCEPTION—either visual illusion (ghost) or intellectual demonstration (Sophia answering correctly). The barrier is HIS BELIEF SYSTEM, bypassed by providing evidence that matches what he claims will convince him. Different sensory modalities (sight vs hearing/reasoning) but same core mechanic: exploit stated vulnerability.
+
+**Distinction from Disguise/Appearance Puzzles**: This isn't about impersonating a specific character to gain access (like "wear guard uniform to enter restricted area"). It's about exploiting a GENERAL PERCEPTUAL RESPONSE—"ghosts appear in sheets at night" is cultural knowledge; the puzzle leverages Trottier's own belief framework, not physical identity substitution.
+
+**Distinction from Multi-Character Coordination (Alternative Path)**: While the Sophia answer method uses character-switching, THAT is just enabling access to her KNLEDGE inventory. The CORE puzzle mechanic remains Sensory Exploitation—providing evidence that matches his perceptual requirements. Character transfer is implementation detail; vulnerability exploitation is the underlying pattern.
