Disable: DC 28 Deception (expert) twice to confound the haunt with your own deceptions, or Occultism (trained) twice to create a ward against the haunt’s mental influence

Failure: The creature believes the illusions to be true; if they become confused by the haunt’s routine, they can’t attempt flat checks to end the confused condition when they take damage.

Reset: The haunt deactivates 1 minute after all creatures leave the area but resets immediately thereafter.
