The Other Side Ritual Bones Locations | What We Know, How the E.A.L. Works and Cleanse Mode Steps

As of October 26, 2026, I found no verified list of ritual bones locations for The Other Side. No source I could read names where ritual bones, skulls, satanic pages or effigies spawn on Summerhill, Abaddon Hallows or Black Meadow Farms. However, the Ethereal Artifact Locator (E.A.L.) is the confirmed tool for finding cursed artifacts, and the Spectral Affixer handles Cleanse mode scans. Therefore, use the E.A.L. to find artifacts and the Affixer commands below to finish the contract.

Summary: The Other Side Ritual Bones Locations

• Locations: no verified spawn list for ritual bones, skulls, pages or effigies.
• Finding artifacts: use the Ethereal Artifact Locator (E.A.L.).
• Cleanse scans: feed evidence into the Spectral Affixer, then run SCAN.
• Scan range: stay within 16 feet.
• Game: Early Access on Steam, $13.99, up to six players.
• Not confirmed: map-by-map ritual bones locations and spawn rules.

What Ritual Bones Are in The Other Side

The Other Side is a multiplayer ghost-hunting game for up to six players. You investigate haunted sites, collect evidence, identify the ghost and clear it out. The game is in Early Access on Steam at $13.99, so content changes often.

Item	Detail
Genre	Multiplayer ghost hunting
Players	Up to 6
Status	Early Access on Steam
Price	$13.99
Cleanse mode	Find and remove cursed artifacts
Key tools	E.A.L. and Spectral Affixer

Ritual bones, skulls, satanic pages and effigies sound like cursed artifacts, but I could not confirm that. One Cleanse guide says the mode uses “all 7 evidence types,” yet it never names them. Likewise, none of the pages I could open names ritual bones. So treat the exact category of ritual bones as unverified.

Several well-known fan wikis and guides blocked my access, which limited what I could check. Because of that, I would rather tell you what is missing than invent spawn points.

The Maps Your Keywords Mention

Your keywords name Summerhill, Abaddon Hallows and Black Meadow Farms. I could not confirm details for any of them. The Steam page does mention a new location called McGavin House and a plantation in a player comment, but it does not describe the three maps you asked about.

Item	Detail
Summerhill	No verified ritual bones spawn list
Abaddon Hallows	No verified satanic pages or artifact list
Black Meadow Farms	No verified effigy spawn guide
McGavin House	New location, mentioned in the October 9 patch notes

Therefore, the safest advice is to treat any map-specific coordinate you see elsewhere as unverified unless it names the exact version of the game.

How to Use the Ethereal Artifact Locator (E.A.L.)

A community contract guide gives one clear line about the tool: use the E.A.L. to find cursed artifacts. Clearing every artifact banishes the ghost. The guide does not explain the tool’s range, battery or screen, so I cannot describe those.

Here is a practical way to use it, based on that one confirmed purpose:

1. Equip the E.A.L. at the start. You need it before you can search for artifacts.
2. Sweep each room slowly. Walk the building room by room, rather than running.
3. Mark what you find. Tell your team where each artifact sits.
4. Remove artifacts last. The mission ends as soon as you remove the final artifact.

That last point matters. The guide says you should finish secondary objectives first, or you lose their bonus rewards. As a result, a careful order is to find everything, complete side tasks and then clear the last artifact.

Cleanse Mode: Spectral Affixer Scan Steps

Cleanse mode uses the Spectral Affixer. You collect evidence with your equipment, then enter it into the Affixer. Here is how the confirmed commands work.

Item	Detail
ADD [EVIDENCE] [LEVEL]	Adds evidence to the scan
REMOVE [EVIDENCE]	Removes evidence
INFO [EVIDENCE]	Shows valid intensity levels
SCAN	Starts the scan

An example from a community guide is “ADD RADIATION 2.” That guide says intensities run from 1 to 4, but I could only see that in one source.

Scan Steps

1. Collect evidence. Use your equipment to gather it.
2. Add it. Type ADD with the evidence name and level.
3. Check levels. Type INFO if you are unsure which levels are valid.
4. Stay close. Use SCAN, and stay within 16 feet of the Affixer.
5. Read the colors. The status light tells you what happened.

Item	Detail
Blue	Ready or scanning
Yellow	You are too far away
Red	The scan failed and a hunt starts
Green	The scan is complete

Because a wrong entry triggers a hunt, double-check your evidence before you press SCAN.

How Many Entries You Need

Since version 0.9.8.0, you only enter the exact number of characteristics a scan needs. The contract guide lists these counts.

Item	Detail
Novice	2
Intermediate	3
Expert	4
Master	5

Recent Patches That Affect Cleanse and Maps

The Steam hub lists several recent changes. They matter because older guides may not match them.

• October 9 (v0.9.8.2_a): the developers fixed a locked-door sound issue in McGavin House, fixed a TV sync issue and added a “Trainer Only” filter to the session browser.
• October 13: lore events now block the ghost from hunting while they run. In addition, the team added candles to the new maps and removed an artifact spawn on the piano in McGavin House.
• October 11 developer post: a multiplayer tutorial overhaul is in progress, trainer lobbies are available meanwhile and a Halloween event is coming.

The October 13 patch removed an artifact spawn, so older spawn lists can already be wrong.

Tips for Finding Artifacts Faster

These suggestions are practical advice, not confirmed facts:

• Search as a team. Split the building into zones before you start.
• Keep notes. Write down every artifact you find on each map.
• Check the same spots next time. Early Access updates can change spawns, but a quick recheck costs little.
• Use trainer lobbies. They are a safe place to learn a map.
• Share your findings. If you find a verified spawn, post the game version with it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Trusting an old spawn list. The October 13 patch removed one spawn already.
• Clearing the last artifact too early. The mission ends right away, and you lose bonus rewards.
• Scanning from too far away. Stay within 16 feet.
• Guessing evidence. A wrong scan triggers a hunt.
• Assuming ritual bones are evidence. The sources do not confirm that.
• Skipping the E.A.L. It is the confirmed artifact finder.

Conclusion

No verified ritual bones locations exist yet for The Other Side, so use the E.A.L. to find artifacts and the Spectral Affixer to finish Cleanse scans. Stay within 16 feet, enter only the evidence the scan needs and clear the last artifact after your side objectives. Everything here is accurate as of October 26, 2026, and Early Access patches may change it.
