Overview
When you first load the game up and hop into your first adventure, you should probably know the basics of the game. So I’ve made this guide for everyone new to this game!Phasmophobia is a PC Horror game, but it can also be played in VR. You start in the back of your truck, on the shelves you will find all the equipment that you have brought with you. You can buy equipment when you’re in the lobby. When you load on to a map there will be some basic equipment which you can’t remove. Inside of the truck on the whiteboard you can see what your objectives are. Objective number 1 will always be “Find out what type of ghost we’re dealing with,” or something like that, but the three other objectives are random fx. “Get a photo of the ghost”, “Get evidence of the ghost walking in salt”. There is also written on the whiteboard if the ghost only responds when you’re alone or to everyone. That means when you’re using the Spirit Box, that you need to look on the whiteboard. After you’ve read the whiteboard you should pick your equipment. You can only have 3 pieces of equipment on you so choose wisely. If you’ve put the camera on a tripod, and you’re taking it inside, you will drop it if you switch to your flashlight or some other equipment. You should always have a flashlight on you just to be on the safe side. When you’re entering the house the first time you should take an EMF Reader or a Thermometer with you. When you’ve picked your equipment and you’re feeling mentally strong enough to go inside, you need to pick up the key on the counter. Now you can go inside the house and start your investigation. So your main goal when entering the house is to find the ghosts favorite room. You can do that by using Thermometer, EMF or Ouija board. When you’ve found the ghosts room, you should go back to the truck, and get some other equipment, if you brought your EMF Reader or Thermometer with you, you should drop it on the floor. Now that you’re out in the truck again you should take the Journal and the Videocamera with you. Place the video camera so that you have a wide angle of the room. Place the book a little bit in front of the camera, so that you can see if there’s ghost writing from outside in the truck. Take the Spirit box and UV Light with you and go inside. Turn on the Spirit box and drop it on the floor, pull out your UV Light and look for fingerprints while asking questions. Go back out to the truck when you’re done and look at the computer screen in the truck. Find the videocamera and look for ghost orbs. Now if you have found out “What type of ghost you’re dealing with,” you can go and complete the other objectives, it’s not obligatory and you can just leave. Make sure that you’ve put the right type of ghost in your journal “J,” on the very last page.Questions and answers:When does the timer start?: The timer only start if you’ve picked the difficulties “Amateur” or “Intermediate”. When you’ve opened the front door the timer will start counting down. When the timer is done the ghost will be able to hunt you.How to use Ouija board?: It’s not always that the Ouija board actually spawns. It has a 50% chance of spawning, and depending on the size of the map the harder it will be to find. To use the Ouija board you need to left click with your mouse, so that it glows. Now you can start asking questions like “What’s your favorite room?”. If this doesn’t work make sure your microphone is working.How do I ask questions with the Spirit Box?: If you’re using the default keybindings you should be able to just hold down “V,” or “B,” and then ask your question (Spirit Box and Ouija board does not answer the same questions). If this doesn’t work make sure your microphone is working.How do I know if the ghost is hunting?: You will know that the ghost is hunting if your flashlight is flickering (If you’re playing with friends or other ppl it can be them turning off your flashlights). You will also know it’s hunting when you can’t use the radio (“B”).How do I talk in-game?: To talk in-game just press “V” for local (People close to you can hear your voice), and “B” for radio chat.Basic Keybinds and what they do:MB1 – Open doors, Use fx. turning on spirit box on the ground, RotateMB2 – Use fx.

Bone Evidence: Take a photo of the bone and then collect it by pressing “E”. You don’t need to take a photo of the bone.2. Footprints: Take photos of salt that the ghost has walked in.3. Ouijaboard: Take a photo of the Ouija board.4. Voodo dolls: Take a photo of the Voodo dolls. The Voodo dolls only spawn on certain maps fx. “Grafton Farmhouse,” or “Bleasdale Farmhouse”.5. Dirty water: Take a photo of the dirty water in a sink. To get dirty water you must anger the ghost fx. Calling its name, Turning on lights or Throwing objects (Props not equipment).6. Dead Body: Take a photo of a dead body. If your fellow investigator dies to the ghost go take a picture and make a little bit more cash.7. Ghostwriting: Take a photo of the Journal if the ghost has written in it. 8. Paranormal activity with EMF: Make the ghost interact with your EMF Reader. You should probably be near the ghosts room to have a higher chance of paranormal activity.9. Capture a photo of the ghost: Take a photo of the ghost, either when it’s hunting or if a ghost event is happening.10. Have a member witness a ghost event: A ghost event and the ghost hunting are to different things and will not count. A ghost event is fx. The ghost walking towards you, but it will not kill you.11. Prevent the ghost from hunting with a crucifix: A lot of people thinks that you just need to have the crucifix in your hand, but you actually need to put it on the ground. If you have two crucifixes you should put them about 3 meters apart. Execpt when it’s a banshee you can put them 5 meters apart.If you’ve made it here then thank you! And I honestly just did this so people could give me some awards so that I can level up on steam. But If you thought that it was helpful then great! If this guide gets a lot of awards I will probably make another one, that’s more detailed and looks better.Have a great day, and happy new year!
