Phasmophobia Beginner's Guide (Hoe niet te sterven)

Still confused about how to complete a game without dying? Here are some basic things that you should know about Phasmophobia!

Het begin

After you spend your precious time waiting on the loading screen, you will spawn in the van which contains your objectives on the board and your equipment on the shelf.

Get the basic equipment:

• Strong Flashlight (the black one) (the silver one is trash as hell don’t even bother buying it)
• EMF Reader (beeps when you are around the ghost)
• Thermometer (temperature reader)
• UV Light (shows fingerprints on doors and closet doors)
• Geest doos (you and the ghost have some quality time talking)

Opmerkingen:

• Each player can take up to 3 equipment including the flashlight.
• The basic equipment is equipment that is commonly used during the start of the game because it is the easiest way to find the ghost room.

Right after you find the ghost room you can start setting up:

Setting up other equipment:

• Video Camera (shows ghost orb)
• Ghost Writing Book (the ghost will write on it, read it at your own risk)
• Dots Projector (shows you how the ghost looks)

Getting Money from Pictures

You can get extra money from pictures that you took in the game. You can take pictures of the Bone, Voetafdrukken, Vingerafdrukken, and the Cursed Possessions.

But how do you get it or find it?

• Bot: Spawn in random places in the house, roam around the house to find it. Might be small but might be big too.
• Voetafdrukken: Place salt on the floor of the ghost room. Place UV stick near the salt, footprints will appear when the ghost steps on the salt.
• Vingerafdrukken: Appears when the ghost touches the door or the closet door. Use UV light to shine on the doors to see if the ghost touched the door. Doors might creak when the ghost open them.
• Cursed Possessions: 6 different types of them. Every Cursed Possession is spawned in the same area on a certain map but only one out of six will spawn in each round. Take picture of it before using them.

Complete the Objectives

As I mentioned at the beginning, there are objectives written on the board in the van. Er zijn 4 objectives to be done in every round including identifying the Type of Ghost.

1. Capture a Photo of the Ghost

The photo of the ghost can be got by angering out the ghost. Some ghosts will show themselves easily while some won’t even show themselves even though you beg them to. Soms
just don’t bother doing this, it’s not worth it.

2. Prevent the Ghost from Hunting with a Crucifix

Yeet the crucifix into the ghost room.

3. Evidence of the Paranormal with an EMF Reader

When you get two lights or more lit up, het is klaar.

4. Witness a Ghost Event

If it happens then it happens.

5. Make a Ghost Walk Through Salt

Place salt in the ghost room and wait for the ghost to walk on it. Easy right?

6. Detect a Ghost’s Presence with a Motion Sensor

Place Motion Sensor into the ghost room wall. It’s a rectangular shape with two buttons on it, one green one red.

7. Cleanse the area near the ghost using Smudge Sticks

Use the brown-looking stick and light it up with a lighter WHILE you are in the ghost room. Walk around the room with it until it’s burned out.

8. Repel the Ghost with a Smudge Stick while it’s chasing someone

During the hunt, risk yourself and activate the smudge when the ghost IS chasing you.

9. Get the Ghost to blow out a Candle

Light candle, put it in the ghost room, wait for the ghost to blow it out. If you’re playing with your gf/bf you can use the candle to make a romantic candle-lit dinner…in your dreams.

10. Have a member of the team escape the Ghost during a Hunt

The ghost has to chase ONE of your team or you. Everyone has to survive the hunt.

11. Get an average sanity below 25%

Stand in the dark or just use Cursed Possessions to lower you and your team’s sanity.

Summary: Objectives are either easy or hard, but just try to do it.
