phasmo-chat

[pliant quartz]

k thanks though

[naive arrow]

place 3 candles on top of cruci
ghost blows out 3 candles
check to see if there is a candle that is lit, or if you are holding out a lighter/matches
if the ghost is an onryo, it will try to hunt right after the 3 candles are blown out, however, since it is an onryo, it can use a candle like a crucifix. So after the third blowout, if pretty much right after another candle blows out (almost instantly), its most likely an onryo
if the crucifix burned at any point with candles/lighter, it is not an onryo

[slow spade]

works better on lower sanity too

[naive arrow]

thats how I understand it atleast

[wise oyster]

omg do none of that

[naive arrow]

LMAO

dang i must be wrong, my b chat

[slow spade]

won't work when the ghost is smudged, or hunting or in hunt cooldown

[naive arrow]

never could understand onryo test, i go off of vibes

[wise oyster]

It's kinda like your take on Apoc 3 smudge. If works, but it's the hardest way to do it

[naive arrow]

youre the hardest take on it

[slow spade]

not sure if anyone is interested but here is also the onryo blowouts for each number of dead players
Dead Players | Timer Range | Extinguish Chance
0 | 20–80 seconds | 67%
1 | 20–60 seconds | 75%
2 | 20–40 seconds | 80%
3 | 20 seconds flat | 83%

[wise oyster]

But nah, I agree about the vibes thing a bit. Before i learned the 20s rule, I fashioned myself for a bit of an Onryo whisperer. Then when you learn only it can blow out lighters in under 20s or that other ghosts have to wait 20s between blowouts on a firelight, it's so smooth.

[slow spade]

onryo is one of my favourite ghosts because of it

[naive arrow]

I just noticed the map now shows cameras and they indicate when a player is looking on one of them

[atomic leaf]

Onryo glazing 😍

[slow spade]

onryo, heh, where do I even begin.

[narrow spindle]

Get a photo of a Ghost

The Ghost has been identified

Goryo

[atomic leaf]

Goryo my beloved too 😍

[slow spade]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

most common ghost!

and I'm not complaining

[atomic leaf]

switch with me

[slow spade]

I just wish all my stats were goryo 😪

[narrow spindle]

my most common ghost has been the Mares and banshees

[slow spade]

whats yours

[atomic leaf]

Moroi

[slow spade]

💀

[narrow dew]

mission failed successfully game crashes when closing nearly every time

[atomic leaf]

so lame 💔🥀

[slow spade]

boring ahh ghost

is it moroi by a lot

[narrow spindle]

The power of the Smudge Stick compels you!!! Toss it at the Moroi face

[atomic leaf]

I actually have no idea anymore

[atomic leaf]

I’m sick of them 💔

[slow spade]

from when I started tracking goryo is my most common by over 20

[atomic leaf]

that’s wild

[slow spade]

it's probably more now

it just crossed the 1000 mark

[narrow spindle]

I got mares, they mostly become pacific when you turn on the lights

Sometimes they break them, the only time they killed me was when I forgot the smudge stick

[slow spade]

what's your most deaths to

[atomic leaf]

I think Wraith

[narrow spindle]

but the ghost that killed me most (back in 2020 and 2021) was the demon.

[slow spade]

used to be mine too

[atomic leaf]

bro it changed so many times during cursed hollow

[slow spade]

fr.

deo shot up from 4 to 50

[atomic leaf]

oh hell nah

[slow spade]

🥀

[atomic leaf]

mine is probably over 100 LMAO

I gotta check that

[slow spade]

dying to a deo

[atomic leaf]

well

I can't unless I rewatched my VODs and counted

I ain't got time for that

[slow spade]

lmao

[steep pelican]

Revenant for me, probably

[forest radish]

Seems Polters can throw stuff even if the lights are on

[narrow spindle]

yeah if they get a pile or you make a pile for them

[forest radish]

The one I got didn't need a pile

It just picked up everything in a 5m radius and threw it anyway

It did that twice, but interestingly the first time didn't drop my sanity

[slow spade]

yeah polter can still use its ability in light

[forest radish]

Just been doing some fun 2 evidence runs and it was nice walking into the house and having every item immediately just explode

[narrow spindle]

I mean in case you're in place without props

you can make one to check

If I'm not wrong to drop your sanity the polter must toss all objects at your face?

or it doesn't?

[forest radish]

I don't think it tossed them at my face either time but I only lost sanity the second time

[wise oyster]

it's an AoE drain, 2% per item. Throwing items at the player is just a variation of the ability

[glacial stag]

Goryo is the best ghost because you'll know it'll always be in its room like the good ghost it is

[low topaz]

My first ever hunt on Phasmo was a Goryo and it never left the ghost room. Just ran around in circles in the boy’s bedroom on Tanglewood.

[glacial stag]

[slow spade]

but what if it events 😪

[low topaz]

I was crouched by the front door, spooked out of my mind because it was my first hunt, but it never even came out of the room lmao

[glacial stag]

Then you'll know where it is

[slow spade]

skill issue 👍

[glacial stag]

Goryo is the best

Goryo is the friendliest ghost

[low topaz]

Deogen are the best imo when they don’t spawn kill me

[slow spade]

yup yup yup

[slow spade]

top 5 ghost

sitting comfortably in number 3 or 4

[glacial stag]

[wise oyster]

Bottom 25%

[slow spade]

hey, where would polty go

[wise oyster]

Top 3

[slow spade]

😠

[wise oyster]

Polter, Onryo, and...

[glacial stag]

[slow spade]

GORYO

[wise oyster]

lol, lmao even

[lime token]

Obake is the best

[slow spade]

no shape-shifting during seasonals?

[wise oyster]

Obake is good, sure. Onryo, Obake, and Polter, top 3 in no order

[glacial stag]

Not bias at all

[slow spade]

wtf

ger yurei up there

AND YOKAI????

[glacial stag]

Nah

[wise oyster]

🧌

[slow spade]

switch demon and spirit too

demon bad

spirit gud

[lime token]

Storage room 1 is the best ghost

[analog widget]

Nah Onryo sucks dick but I get Obake and Polty being at the top

[glacial stag]

Make me a tierlist of every ghost room in the game

[wise oyster]

Onryo might be #1 right now

[slow spade]

@lime token you down?

[lime token]

Ah here

[slow spade]

storage room 1 s tier

lecture hall f tier

[lime token]

L8r sure

[glacial stag]

[slow spade]

classroom 37 f tier

[analog widget]

why Obake is clearly better

[wise oyster]

idk b/c I like Onryo more

[lime token]

Foul linen west is f

[glacial stag]

The best room in the boys bedroom on point hope coz it got the blahajs

[slow spade]

facts

[wise oyster]

You can ID an Onryo in a few seconds with no hunt

[slow spade]

and parrot too

[glacial stag]

And swords

[analog widget]

Nah the attic and Office in Bleasdale is 10x better

[slow spade]

and boats

[glacial stag]

[lime token]

I'm so sad we can't get the aha badge, it looks so good

[glacial stag]

👀

I mean its alright

[slow spade]

we do not need another red badge 😡

[lime token]

It might as well be reporter version 2 though

[glacial stag]

Yeah p5 and p15 good enough

[slow spade]

• bloodmoon and sunny meadows survivor

[lone falcon]

what is fastest way of leveling up ?? i only just started plaing

[glacial stag]

Getting carried on x14 cww

[wise oyster]

focus on learning and getting better, and the levels will come.

[glacial stag]

Oh

Ye that too

[slow spade]

most 1 hunt starts are fast, but you need decent game understanding to do them effecientpy

[lone falcon]

what is x14 cww

[lime token]

Or 14x brownstone which somehow works

[wise oyster]

exactly, ignore them

[slow spade]

8.8x

[lime token]

You will get there eventually

[lone falcon]

okay 😦

[acoustic valley]

hey yall! i am having a hard time getting the “have a member of your team escape a ghost hunt” has anyone else had this problem or am i just doing it wrong or something

[prisma laurel]

Gotta say I love that pingu pfp

[slow spade]

ghost has to have LoS with a player and lose it whilst no one dies

[lone falcon]

thank you its the cutest

[prisma laurel]

But u would keep that los going

[slow spade]

Ermm, Los is lost when the hunt end brotisserie chicken

[glacial stag]

[prisma laurel]

Erm im topo, not a brotisserie chicken

[lime token]

Los is lost when the ghost enters my green aura with flies

[slow spade]

k

[prisma laurel]

Ok green goblin 😔

[lime token]

Bro is a walking health bar fr

[slow spade]

Wizard forgot he's made of paper bro.

[prisma laurel]

Smelly

[glacial stag]

[uncut basalt]

Walking exp

[slow spade]

perfectly describes deo

[narrow spindle]

Ah I get it

[rotund haven]

Is there a ghost that can ignore the cruci?

[lime token]

Twins I think

[junior summit]

where can i send images? i need some help fixing some graphics error

[golden wharf]

19 minute game, and it took 18 minutes to get Goryo dots, can we fix that!! Please

[lime token]

Is the graphics issue everything being red?

[slow spade]

wtf

[junior summit]

yea? know something about it?

[lime token]

Turn off eye adaption brotato

[junior summit]

oh wtf

[golden wharf]

Its actually annoying...

[lime token]

I had a 24 minute game and I spent the first 57 minutes getting spirit box smh

[golden wharf]

I thought they updated the whole Goryo thing.

[slow spade]

goryo has a 2/3 chance to enter dots state after entering wander state, if the full room isn't covered or there was someone in the room it would be hard to get

[lime token]

I think you gotta be outside the room

[wise oyster]

I just had a Goryo taht wasn't bad at all

[golden wharf]

Trust me we were outside the room. lol We were all in the van watching from the camera lol

[slow spade]

no shit

😭

[lime token]

:(

[slow spade]

you can increase the chances for dots if you remove all of the intractable objects from the ghosts room and stay farther than 15m away from it at all times too

but that is really desperate

and not practical at all

[lime token]

Desperate times call for desperate measures

[rotund haven]

is there a bug with incense not lighting?

[slow spade]

do you have a lighter

[zinc coyote]

I have a heavier

[forest radish]

No mediumer?

[zinc coyote]

Not yet

[slow spade]

mediumer is a necessity

[rotund haven]

yeah, its been happening a few times the past couple days

[slow spade]

ever since chronicle there has been a slight delay to smudges, is this what you mean?

[rotund haven]

kinda, but i have been using it the same way and it only started happening recently and other ppl i play with say the same

[lime holly]

yeah the smudges take a bit longer to start working

I noticed it too the first tjme i played after chronicle update when i went to smudge ghost in 0 sanity 0 evidence then i died instead

but since then ive adjusted to smudge earlier

[prisma laurel]

[slow spade]

still trying to adjust with photo cam

[lime holly]

yeah im still inconsistent with ghost photo during hunt too

soemtimes i get it first try then in others i miss 3 times in a row lol

[slow spade]

I can only get phantom photos on that long ass 283ms blink

[slow spade]

FRR

[lime holly]

somehow i miss oni and deogen more than phantom

[slow spade]

a problem I wish i had

[slow spade]

deo blink pattern is literally 6 SECONDS 😭😭

[obtuse carbon]

So I am trying to use my incense to survive a hunt. Do I only use it if it can see me? Or can I use it through a door if I know it is right on the other side?

[lime holly]

😭

[slow spade]

you can use it whenever, asling as it is within range, if you have the repel objectives the ghost has to of had Los with a player the be smudged, it's buggy on stairs though

[lime holly]

u can use it through door if u know its on other side

Its range based

[obtuse carbon]

It still b lined to me after I had mic muted and lights off in a locker

[lime holly]

repel objective requires the ghost actively chasing you which requires los

[obtuse carbon]

Trying to understand

[slow spade]

range is 3/4/5m for t1/t2/t3 respectively

[lime holly]

After smudge?

[obtuse carbon]

Yeah

I smudged through the door and dropped it, and had the locker already open so I could get in and closed it.

My drop was through the door also not in my room

[lime holly]

did u successfully smudge it then

[obtuse carbon]

Yeah I got the task

[vestal ferry]

Not. Actually. It just needs to be chasing you via detection. Little harder to do it this way but possible.
Survive requires the los thouh.

[obtuse carbon]

It wasn’t a survive task. Just to smudge during a player being changed

[vestal ferry]

Tested via ghost being in foryer tangle wood, smudging through wall while in garage and using radio for detections.

[obtuse carbon]

Chased

[lime holly]

nice to know then

[vestal ferry]

Was sketchy doing those tests lol

[lime holly]

though for consistency purposes i always make sure it has los on me

[slow spade]

I actually didn't known this 😭😭😭

[lime holly]

but i suppose if thats true then holding down your radio key while successfully cleansing should guarantee successful repel everytime.

[obtuse carbon]

So basically next time just make sure it has los before smudge

[lime holly]

yeah if it has los it should be guaranteed repel objective

but now next time im going to try just holding radio down -> smudge ghost

and shouldnt need los

[obtuse carbon]

I’ll work on it for next time. Trying to get used to letting the ghost hunt

Oh also if I had T1 Headgear and it was on would the ghost still go to me?

[slow spade]

yeah

[obtuse carbon]

That was it

[lime holly]

yep

[obtuse carbon]

Ffs

[arctic mantle]

have ghosts always been able to turn on faucets on floors above/below them?

[obtuse carbon]

Live and you learn. My wife wanted to watch me try to survive.

I also have gotten EMF readings from floors above where I am

[lime holly]

probably unintended but yes they can interact with things on floors above

[arctic mantle]

im doing the weekly challenge on highschool and it turned on both the facuets on both the first and 2nd floor

i was checking every room near the bathroom on the 2nd floor with thermo but every room was 14+ untill i went downstairs lol

[obtuse carbon]

We were on edge field and I was in the basement and I got my EMF readings down there when the ghost room was actually in the foyer

[slow spade]

ghosts have a bug where they can spawn a floor above or below where they should be

[obtuse carbon]

Could be twins or is there a max distance they can be separated?

[lime holly]

ghost couldve just roamed from the foyer to downstairs

[solemn stream]

15m iirc

[arctic mantle]

i love the game but i feel like they didnt really fully develop the sound recorder

i like playing with text recoginzion on spriit box and ouija board, but that makes it harder to get sound recording/video recording

[sly sable]

yeah I think that a lot too

[arctic mantle]

it works really well for multiplayer but no so much on single player

maybe add in a video editing system where you can record up to say 10 minutes of footage with the headset, then in truck you can go back and grab that portion

[sly sable]

lol I just started playing a bit so I've only ever played with friends, but that sounds rlly cool

[robust quarry]

An somebody please play with me. This is my first time. I can’t go back to tangle wood again

Please that was scary

[arctic mantle]

yo i found it

perfect game on the weekly challenge

was not worth it

[robust quarry]

Dude I’m gonna be cooked

[echo zealot]

Do I have to be next to a crucifix for it to work and burn

[solid stirrup]

Does this only work in the ghost room?

[vestal ferry]

Ghost needs to be within radius. Your position means nothing

[echo zealot]

Thank you

[vestal ferry]

Its wherever the onryo is at.

[sage spade]

Whats yalls most common ghost?

[glacial stag]

Dad- I mean demon

[night turtle]

why does the ghost immediately hunt when I light the summoning circle

[night turtle]

Isn’t it supposed to stand still for a few seconds so I can take a selfie and run away

[vestal ferry]

it was already hunting or you didn't have the required sanity on last candle

[glacial stag]

It may have started hunting when u were lighting it, so u just tpd a hunting ghost to yourself

[night turtle]

that sucks dude

[glacial stag]

it funny though

[sage spade]

is that what the circle does if you use it during a hunt?

[glacial stag]

Yeah

The circle at its core idea is to the tp the ghost to th3 circle

[heady torrent]

Friendly ghost weekly seems silly.. I wanna identify a vengeful ghost not Casper

[sage spade]

more challenging than you think unless you did it already

[heady torrent]

I’m sure it’s time consuming, but not challenging other than testing one’s patience

[short knot]

it takes a while me and 3 other buddys did it

[zinc coyote]

[echo zealot]

I did not need my cat to bring in a mouse as I’m playing this game

Whatever man 😔

[zinc coyote]

free snack

[cobalt matrix]

free wireless mouse

[terse jungle]

does anyone have strategy to play 0 evidence 0 sanity? i want try but 1st i try, i dead

[modern mauve]

Get all of your items in, know how to ID all ghosts, know where your hiding spots are

You can use the hunt to find the ghost room

[austere garden]

if a ghost can leave marks on doors and touches one, will it always leave the mark?

[spark lava]

not always depending on ghost type and difficulty settings

[austere garden]

I see, but if it opens and closes a lot of doors and still nothing, then I can rule it out right

[spark lava]

probably yeah

[austere garden]

what info do u get if a ghost blows out a candle

[spark lava]

an EMF reading, potentially a hunt if its an onryo and just did its third blow

[austere garden]

woah
interesting

[austere garden]

will the ghost walk back to its room after that

[glacial stag]

depends, if u prevent a hunt with a T3 at the circle, it'll cancel the hunt and go back to its room

[austere garden]

what is a T3

[spark lava]

tier 3

[glacial stag]

t3 crucifix

i mean

[austere garden]

dont all crucifixes prevent a hunt?

[spark lava]

cursed hunts can only be prevented by a T3 cruci

[austere garden]

oh nice

[spark lava]

which consumes the whole thing

[terse jungle]

Okay thank you... Even i have starter item only and stuck at level 5 or 4 😭

[modern mauve]

I'd wait until you have at least all T1 items

[simple zealot]

Hey I know we have a lfg chat but does anyone wanna help a newbie out? DM for code

[wintry prawn]

Morning chat

[young turret]

Anyway to force people to leave? got a couple being stingey and sitting out of the truck

[wintry prawn]

I might play later, i teach people here most of the time

[simple zealot]

I appreciate it. Might be off when you’re on tho

[wintry prawn]

Oh my

It'll be a while to be honest

I'm not home right now

[simple zealot]

All good no worries

Just trying to get somebody to play in LFG

[wintry prawn]

Leave the truck? Unfortunately not

[young turret]

leave the game

[wintry prawn]

Well you can't ask here unfortunately

[young turret]

the report button ain working

[simple zealot]

Copy. thanks

[wintry prawn]

You can kick them from the lobby once the investigation is over (if you're the party leader), otherwise there's nothing you can do

[spark lava]

nothing yet anyway, soon, soon, eventually, probably at some point..

[wintry prawn]

I've had people camp the truck the whole game refusing to leave, i just remain patient and kick them once the game is over

[wintry prawn]

True

[wintry prawn]

I could perhaps give you some pointers in dms if you want to

[austere garden]

can all ghosts slam doors

I dont see that very often

[simple zealot]

It’s okay thank you tho

[wintry prawn]

Dude what's with that playtime💀

[spark lava]

now they can

You're spending that much time on a FnF clone?

[austere garden]

it has multiple rhythm minigames and its development started before fnf :c

[hybrid wave]

Does anyone know the cursed item for the weekly this week?

[vale quest]

i believe there are none

[cosmic girder]

theres none sadly

[hybrid wave]

Thanks

[cosmic girder]

yup yup

[uncut basalt]

Bet, im bringing my young thaye buddy

[vestal ferry]

if you ever need to know. you can check in game what the settings are exactly.

[worn glade]

Is there any logic to the breaker?
the bigger the map, the fewer lights you can have on - this doesn't make much sense to me
imagine if a school's or prison's breaker would burn out when more than a quarter of the facility was lit?
that place would be shut down so fast

[cosmic girder]

the bigger the map the more lights, small maps like tangle can only have 9-12 i believe and bigger i have no clue, ive never had the breaker trip on a big one

[violet quail]

one word explanation: lag

longer answer is lights used to be hella laggy until they optimised it. small maps one switch does one, maybe two lights. larger maps like prison you turn on three switches in a large room and youre down by 20fps

[slow spade]

small maps 9 medium 8 large 7

[worn glade]

yea, that's the gameplay function, but I mean, the logic behind it doesn't make any sense
but I suppose a larger map would suffer more from multiple lights (in terms of CPU usage)

[slow spade]

yeah, chili sauce said it above

lag is the answer

[worn glade]

is that still a problem?

I've never had any FPS drops in the game when I had 0 or 9 lights on

[slow spade]

yeah

if you gave every TV, light, computer, candle on, your frames will lower

[quasi rampart]

wait

light = lighter

do you know what dosent take up an inventory space?

[gritty pawn]

an igniter

aaaaaaaa

[quasi rampart]

i g n i t e r = 7 letters

[solemn solar]

hey chat uwu

[quasi rampart]

mustarrd

[lilac linden]

Why is the weekly not an announcement?..

Seems like a perfect promo for new players..

[steep pelican]

harro

[twilit kiln]

hi, quick question, where else can the breaker spawn on high school? when it's not under either stairs i never am able to find it

[uncut basalt]

Good morning

[thorn spruce]

Storage room on 2nd floor, on top of left staircase. U will find some bathrooms along ur way to the storage room

[terse hill]

Yesterday i got 3 mares in a row

[twilit kiln]

is it left when walking into the high school, or left from when you're walking out of gym?

[thorn spruce]

Left when walking into high school

[lilac linden]

I always look at the map in the truck.

[uncut basalt]

Hate mares

Yesterday i guessed an oni cuz after an event where it reached me, my sanity dropped more than the usual 10ish %

[terse hill]

I hate them in no evidence no sanity

[uncut basalt]

Ended up being right

[terse hill]

One did a banshee scream😭

[uncut basalt]

Idk what evidence i was missing

Cuz it was a 2ev run and all i had was dots

Probs emf5

[terse hill]

yeah proh

[uncut basalt]

Im unlucky with emf5

Isnt the other one freezing?

Or writing

I forget

[analog wave]

Guys quick question, what is your best method to get ghost events? I've found what works is get below hunt sanity, smudge the ghost and just camp in the room🤷‍♂️

[thorn spruce]

Event frequency high in custom settings xD

[terse hill]

Freezing

[slow spade]

take all of the intractable objects out of the ghost room, this is one way you can increase the odds. I just let rng do the work though

[uncut basalt]

Yeah its like impossible to miss freezing, so gotta be emf5 i was missing

Coldest it got was 1.8

[south violet]

I remember there were some update that will bring skins on characters is that true?

Like skin looking stuff like hats and whatever add ons if that make any sense

[serene creek]

Unless the match book/lighter is empty, you shouldn't be able to drop it. Died to a polter because for some reason I didn't have my lighter on me...

[undone ember]

It will happen eventually

[south violet]

That would be awesome!

[undone ember]

I agree

[uncut basalt]

There is no limit to the lighter afaik

[serene creek]

yes there is

[undone ember]

Not T3

[uncut basalt]

Strange cuz the game itself says its infinite im pretty sure.

[undone ember]

You are right

[serene creek]

I am pretty sure even T3 has a limit.

[undone ember]

Look at it's description in the shop

Unless they changed it

[serene creek]

T3 Lighter (Igniter) 10 mins

T2 is 5

[uncut basalt]

So both are longer than you would ever use

[undone ember]

Yep

[serene creek]

Oh, so we are moving the goal posts are we?

[undone ember]

The firelight T3 is infant I was getting them mixed up

[serene creek]

IT does not change my argument.

I died to a polter because I acccidentally dropped my lighter

not because I did not have enough charges

[uncut basalt]

Yeah thats got nothing to do with it running out of charge

Idk why you're complaining about it here. Make a bug report

[undone ember]

I agree

[serene creek]

Accidentally dropping my lighter is a bug? cool!

[undone ember]

If you died why did why did it matter if it's infinite or not

[uncut basalt]

Unless u made some kind of mistake. Thats on you to know. Nobody here can help with that.

Either u made a mistake, or the game glitched. Or you are lying about what happened

[violet quail]

?

they were essentially suggesting something not claiming its a bug

[uncut basalt]

Suggesting... what?

[serene creek]

It is a me issue, that is what I am saying though. I am just remarking how I wish you couldn't drop the igniter unless it is out of charges.

[uncut basalt]

Again, either THEY made a mistake, or the game glitched, which means its a bug. Or they are lying about the situation

Idk why u wouldnt be able to drop the lighter unless it was out of charges

Its not hard to not drop it.

[undone ember]

It would be cool

[uncut basalt]

Next u might as well make the lighter be built in

Since it doesnt take a slot anyways

[undone ember]

That would be cool

[serene creek]

It is when you are rapid switching between items to drop them for a polter test during a hunt without paying attention to what you are dropping.. 😉

[undone ember]

Subaru I see you are in the peak chat what is the code for it?

[uncut basalt]

Sounds like a skill issue

[uncut basalt]

The code? To join the server?

[undone ember]

Yes

[uncut basalt]

How would u even know the servers im in if it isnt one you're in?

Anyways just google peak game discord

Theres also a link to the server on the games main menu

[undone ember]

I'm not on right now

We were just chatting so I just asked

[uncut basalt]

You can google it that way

[undone ember]

All right I guess I will

It took me I minute I got two of the wrong peaks lol

Okay I'm trying to edit that message and it's not working I meant minute

[undone ember]

I know because to the right of your name it says peak I clicked on it to look at it and it said it

Also I was not trying to be nosy or anything

[uncut basalt]

Yea i forgot i changed my server tag to that

[lone falcon]

anyone in aus want to help 2 new players? we have been doing welll but some of the bigger houses get annoying with just 2 of us

Really good people here ☝️

[lime dagger]

anyone got a lobby that i can join?

[undone ember]

Like to play a peak and I didn't know there was a discord for it I have no clue why I never noticed it when I load in lol my bad

[uncut basalt]

I dont recommend the bigger houses for new players. Stick to the 4 small houses

[wise oyster]

Grafton's nice, too

[stoic zealot]

can't wait for that rework ❤️

[uncut basalt]

I dont think either of the farmhouses are great for new players

Once you have a little experience sure

[gritty pawn]

play tanglewood alone, other house maps with friends

[stoic zealot]

they are definitely a step up but i think it could still be considered a "starter" just after all the house maps

[lone falcon]

we have done the farmhoues a few times but they are dark as hell

[wise oyster]

Grafton is prolly the 3rd easiest map behind Tanglewood and Willow

[stoic zealot]

or maybe just a midgame/skill

[gritty pawn]

yeah

just dont play point hope and you good

[modern mauve]

I want my Grafton rework

[feral patrol]

Anybody else notice that the setup timer doesn't work on high school?

[wise oyster]

Setup Time is determined by difficulty and is canceled if you use a cursed object

[gritty pawn]

pro and over you have no setup time

[uncut basalt]

I find ridge and edge to be easier than willow

[feral patrol]

I just walked into the door

[gritty pawn]

idk

[uncut basalt]

Point hope is 20x better than prison or school imo

[gritty pawn]

i HATE point hope

[main meadow]

If you're talking about the challenge this week it has no setup timer

[wise oyster]

yeah preference at that point. I find Edgefield too tight overall (but prolly fine for new players), and I don't like the upstairs of either

[uncut basalt]

I like it, its unique

I dont get willow hype

Its such a mediocre map

[gritty pawn]

too unique

[wise oyster]

small, open, loopable.

[modern mauve]

And glass window door

[wise oyster]

that door is huge

[main meadow]

And a devs house and devs cat toys

[serene creek]

Hmm, I think this ghost yeeted my photo cam in to the great beyond. lol

[modern mauve]

Willow was hype when it first came out

And was kinda the start of the game really taking off in terms of structured updates

[uncut basalt]

The latter is irrelevant for new players

Im semi experienced and i still never loop

Outside of ghost photos i dont see the point

Pretty sure that breaks tos

[worn bobcat]

BAN!!!!!

[wise oyster]

not even proper "looping" necessarily. What I mean by that is there are lots of ways to scurry away without getting caught in dead end

[terse jungle]

It is true ghost would be spawn at favourite room? Or not?

[uncut basalt]

Then thats just wrong. An open map by definition has less los blockers, and so its harder to get away

[main meadow]

Wut

[main meadow]

If you're talking for a hunt the ghost will spawn wherever it's currently standing could be in its room could be away from its room wherever it is

[wise oyster]

It's quite open compared to Tanglewood and Edgefield

[uncut basalt]

For hunts, ghost spawns from where the ghost is currently. So if its roaming, it spawns where its at

[terse jungle]

Hunt... Sorry not mention

[uncut basalt]

Which is a bad thing. If u turn a corner and lose los, the ghost slows down

[worn bobcat]

it will usually spawn in it's room but it can be anywhere

[modern mauve]

It's both open and has great los blockers

The car in the garage and kitchen worktop are literal lifesavers

[main meadow]

We have a couple of places to learn about ghosts and abilities.

[modern mauve]

Hiding spots in the garage help as well

[terse jungle]

Because i was deal with revenant right now

[uncut basalt]

Tangle has much better hiding spots imo and the room layouts are better

[wise oyster]

That just, like, your opinion, man

[modern mauve]

Different strokes for different folks

[worn bobcat]

tangle is the dust 2 of phasmo

the goat

[serene creek]

Is it a bug that "I wish the ghost was trapped" doesn't start a cursed hunt? It just locks the ghost in the ghost room and then starts a normala hunt after a min. I can tell it is not a cursed hunt because the hunt duration is low.

[wise oyster]

if it's a bug, it's been that way since the paw was added

[lime token]

I wish for a slice of pizza

[serene creek]

Yeah, thats usually how opinions work

Nice! U got 3 wishes

Granted but now u lose your ability to communicate

[thorny shard]

chat how can I properly test for an onryo

[wise oyster]

Be low sanity (so the ghost can hunt), light a candle on top of a crucifix and relight when blown out. If the ghost blows out the candle twice in under 20s, it's an Onryo. If the ghost burns the cruci with the candle lit, it's not an Onryo.

[prisma laurel]

Use firelight as crucifixes so that u don't get hunted

[serene creek]

Can't Onryu hunt at any sanity as long as it blows out a candle 3 times (or 3 candles without any being relit)?

[forest radish]

Yes

[wise oyster]

yes, and a dozen people are in this chat everyday not doing it properly that way

[forest radish]

You’re not even wrong

The amount of people who come here claiming the Onryo test didn’t work when they actually just did something wrong is unreal

[heavy halo]

why do i hear a short beep sound when i open the game

[wise oyster]

Linux?

[heavy halo]

windows 11

[forest radish]

Curious

[heavy halo]

ill try recording it

[wise oyster]

hmm, no clue. I've only seen one other person who said that and they were on Linux 🤷‍♂️

[heavy halo]

but i dont have permissions to post the video 🙄

[unreal onyx]

whats wrong with Linux VAN?

[heavy halo]

want me to dm you the video vandelay?

[wise oyster]

I think it's 2 things failing them: they see videos that say to bring in 3 candles, not 1, and those videos don't explain that flames act as crucis, so all they know is "3 lights = hunt"

[odd vale]

If it’s a game vid then #videos is fine

[uncut basalt]

Does the every 3 rule also apply to naturally spawned and non player lit candles?

[wise oyster]

was it you getting the beep thing? I didn't say anything about it being bad

[forest radish]

Every third blowout, an Onryo will try to initiate a hunt. Doesn’t matter if it’s a firelight, a candle in the house, or even the lighter in your hand.
If there’s a lit candle nearby when it tries to hunt, it will blow out the candle instead. This counts as another blowout. The Onryo will prioritise blowing out a candle over burning a crucifix if both are in range.

[uncut basalt]

So if the ghost lights a candle that isnt a player item, and it blows it out, does that contribute to the count?

[wise oyster]

Yes, but Onryo can't light candles

[uncut basalt]

Ahhh so like how mare cant turn on lights

[hushed ice]

nothing happens when I click to create lobby button, are the servers down?

[uncut basalt]

Gotcha

[forest radish]

And like how Jinns can’t turn off breakers

[uncut basalt]

Is it 3 total period. Like if it does 1 at the start, 1 in 5 mins, and 1 in another 5 mins, that 3rd, it will hunt?

Or does it have to be within a timeframe

[forest radish]

Exactly

[wise oyster]

yes, it's a continuous cycle of 3

[uncut basalt]

Gotcha

[heavy halo]

see #videos message

[uncut basalt]

I hate onryos

[forest radish]

If one gets blown out because it tries to hunt, that counts towards its count too

I love Onryos

[uncut basalt]

I think they also have a hunting threshold of 60, unless a firelight or candle is lit nearby

[mild summit]

Onryos are cute mares are the real problem

[prime elk]

[uncut basalt]

At least mares its easy to make their sanity threshold for hunting lower

If u do it for onryos, u risk them hunting

[wise oyster]

Yeah, they have a mirror of Mare with the 60/40 threshold thing, but b/c flames are crucis as well, it's not really important to know that

If you just think of them as flat 60 it's simpler

[uncut basalt]

Does a crucifix prevent onryo from hunting if its the every 3 candles blew out ability?

[forest radish]

My personal test for Onryo without risking easily messing up is just a single firelight and a crucifix

[uncut basalt]

Or does it have to be a t3 cruci?

[forest radish]

Any cruci can prevent it

[wise oyster]

yes

[uncut basalt]

Sick

[forest radish]

Even another fire

[uncut basalt]

And it can even be a crappy t1 since to blow out thr candle, the ghost has to be there

So the range of the cruci should be irrelevant

[forest radish]

I don’t think the firelight that got blown out to cause the hunt can be used to prevent the hunt, even if you relight it fast enough.

[wise oyster]

The range of the cruci only matters if it's T3. It has a larger radius than the firelight "cruci" range

So it's preferred to use a T2, which has the same range for both (4m)

[uncut basalt]

Ahhh

All firelights have the same range i assume?

I've only ever used t1 ans t2

[wise oyster]

Yes, ghosts can blow them out from 5m as interactions (which is larger than normal interaction range), but they only have a 4m range for Onryo hunt prevention

[forest radish]

Light up the firelight in your hand and place it down on top of your crucifix. Every time it gets blown out, pick it up and relight it. When it gets blown out for the third time, don’t relight it and just watch the crucifix. If it burns in about 6 seconds, it’s an Onryo.

[rustic field]

me waiting for phasmo to update: 🙎‍♂️ 🧔‍♂️ 🧓 🪦 🥀 ☠️ 👻

[lime token]

Or you can use the 20second rule

[wise oyster]

See that's what people try to do and they miss a blowout somewhere and claim it doesn't work. Just always keep relighting it, start a timer when it blows it out, and if the next one is under 20s, it's Onryo.

[forest radish]

If I give them instructions to watch the candle and count to 3 and they can’t do that then there’s no helping them

Like I’m sorry, but you’re flunking basic maths here

[wise oyster]

Counting blowouts leads to errors. they're gonna forget about a blowout from 10 minutes ago, or they're not gonna realize it counted when it blew out their lighter, etc.

[forest radish]

I like this test too

[wise oyster]

The 20s rule is short, concise, and discrete

[lime token]

"My onryo test didn't work, the game is bugged"

[forest radish]

If they can’t count to 3 I worry about their ability to time 20 seconds

[wise oyster]

Its not about counting to 3

[forest radish]

How is it not

I beseech thee

[uncut basalt]

U pick yours up to relight it?

[forest radish]

Just so I don’t miss it blowing out my lighter

[uncut basalt]

U should be able to use your lighter manually to relight it

[wise oyster]

i just said above. It fails b/c they miss something somewhere during the game

[lime token]

I throw my unlit firelight onto a lit one

[forest radish]

It’s very easy for an Onryo to sneak in a blowout on your lighter when you put it away and miss a blowout

[serene creek]

The only time I messed up an onryu test is when I thought the ghost didn't blow out a lantern (I simply thought I forgot to light it initially) and relit it before the 3rd blowout. lol

[lime token]

You don't need to do a dedicated test most of the time, you can just tell a lot of the time lol

[forest radish]

I’ve noticed Onryos just like blowing out firelights more frequently

[twilit kiln]

can ghosts still drain sanity on friendly ghost?? or did i have a major bug happen

[forest radish]

Friendly just means no hunting right?

[lime token]

Friendly ghost just makes it so the ghost can't hunt so sanity drain should be normal

[twilit kiln]

i do not know- this week is the first time i've like played phasmo and im doing the weekly

[wise oyster]

yes, they can still do events and abilities

[twilit kiln]

and i haven't had an event until now

[wise oyster]

you can cross out Shade

Getting events on the weekly is great. Lowering sanity increases activity

[twilit kiln]

i managed to get it, it just spooked me and then i went back to the truck and was at like 40 sanity straight from 100

[lime token]

Is this the brownstone weekly

[twilit kiln]

yea

[wise oyster]

yeah

[lime token]

Oh god

[wise oyster]

My first ghost was Shade. 17 minutes solo 💀

[twilit kiln]

i finished the weekly itself but i'm getting a lay of using equipment solo on the other maps with the challenge loadout, so i was on edgefield

[wise oyster]

Tbh great weekly for a brand new player for exactly that reason

you can explore and learn safely and still get Amateur rewards

[twilit kiln]

mhm! it's been nice

[lime token]

I vaguely remember over using the speedrun weekly to use all the t3 equipment

[twilit kiln]

im also just trying to unlock all the maps just by playing over and over so when my friends are online we can try to do lighthouse keeper together

[wise oyster]

yup, that's another

[twilit kiln]

i really like point hope it's so cool

[lime token]

I had 2 entrance ghosts on ph yesterday and both of which had the bone in the entrance as well

[wise oyster]

Point Hope is actually next week's challenge map, so you'll get to play with that soon, too.

But now instead of hiding, the ghost is seeking us

[twilit kiln]

oh that sounds horrifying-

[lime token]

One of the rounds I saw orbs outside lol

[twilit kiln]

b/c this doesn't have hunting i haven't figured out how to use incense yet or how that mechanic works, so im a bit nervous lol

but hopefully by then i'll have a solid group to play with the b/c if it hunted me solo i think i'd scream-

[wise oyster]

Just remember you can't ever lose anything in Challenge Mode, so there's no risk. That might help allay some of the fear

[lime token]

I wish I could go back to the days where I would fear hunts and losing equipment

[twilit kiln]

it's less a losing equipment fear, more of a 'i don't do well with horror games and get spooked' fear

but i'm tryna build up the courage with this lol

[forest radish]

You have 3 things protecting you

Your sanity, your crucifixes and your incense sticks

[wise oyster]

It's just a matter of putting in the reps and learning a little bit more at a time. Don't feel like you need to jump into looping the ghost or being a badass with it

[lime token]

I remember taking the jump from intermediate to professional and then later prof to nightmare, fun times

[twilit kiln]

i just don't know like the good strat for not immediately dying, the few times i played on the first map before trying the event the ghost immediately hunted and killed me when i was just holding some stuff

[alpine flower]

How are you supposed to check for handprints in woodwind

[forest radish]

Were you standing in unlit rooms?

[alpine flower]

The ghost is in the circle of tents with the big red one. IDK what room its called

[twilit kiln]

for sure!! i just am preparing my heard for random ghost events and what not

[wise oyster]

Custom came out right around the time was moving from Prof > NM, and it was a godsend being able to make a hybrid setting to bridge the gap. I kinda feel bad for new players who can't do that now, b/c it's a big deal to lose an evidence and the monitors at the same time.

[twilit kiln]

nope, both times it was a living room ghost, lights were on except when we did spirit box, and ghost just spawned on me, i think once was a demon which made sense but the other i don't remember

[wise oyster]

Tents, light switches, coolers, bathroom doors, stumps. Oh yeah, and salt

[alpine flower]

Where exactly on tents? The entrance flaps?

[forest radish]

The two sides after they touch the doors

[wise oyster]

yeah it's kinda to the side of the flap

[lime token]

And then my first grind to p20 was from October to April lmao

Good times

[wise oyster]

"my first grind to p20" 💀

Mine was from August to September, I think? It was about 40 days total.

[lime token]

My second one was like 65 hours over 2 weeks

I have just been enjoying a custom nightmare on random maps now

[wise oyster]

I've been working on getting better on 0/0 with media stuff. Turning up events helped in my games last night.

[twilit kiln]

this ghost does not want to give me evidence

[steep pelican]

Shade, trust

[twilit kiln]

i had ultraviolet and freezing so i guessed demon and got it !

two demons in a row now lol

[empty wraith]

I just sold a perfect game by running into the ghost hunting because i needed my last sound recording..

[cobalt matrix]

real

[deft ether]

Me and my friend were trying to light the summoning circle but some of the candles were immediately going out, we tried to light them as fast as we could but couldn’t do it 😂 do you need multiple match sticks now to light it? I don’t know what was happening 🥲

[empty wraith]

I thought it was going to do an event and i walked right into the mf 😭😭😭

But at least im learning how to use the sound recorder..

[uncut basalt]

Im out here sweating my azz off omfg

My hr peaked at 171

[wooden robin]

you need a certain amount of sanity to light each candle

[uncut basalt]

18%~

[wooden robin]

that much

[deft ether]

Ohhh! That’s good to know thank you

[wooden robin]

np

[lime token]

It's a little silly how much sanity you need for the summoning circle

[empty wraith]

Um i just threw my crucifix on the floor and it slid along the ground 😭😭😭

Like infinitely

[lime token]

Classic tanglewood

[uncut basalt]

Zooooooooom

[empty wraith]

LOL i am indeed on tanglewood

[wooden robin]

i think its fire

[wise oyster]

12% per candle + no AoE drain would be pretty nice, I think

[empty wraith]

Capture a photo of the ghost 😭😭😭😭😭

[atomic leaf]

the music box draining 77% sanity is also pretty funny

[empty wraith]

The worst one...

[wooden robin]

you can use it to drain sanity easier

[wise oyster]

You can at least place that one down and walk away

[atomic leaf]

true

[empty wraith]

The actual worst one if the ghost doesnt do an event where its just standing there i will struggle with taking a photo

How do i always manage to get the photo while its mid blink..

[wise oyster]

Justly doesn't know anything about that

[atomic leaf]

I like my photos mid hunt! 😫

[lime token]

Gotta hop on that phantom photo trainer website

[wise oyster]

Yes, you do

[uncut basalt]

My fav object for draining sanity is mirror

[atomic leaf]

that’s a classic

[uncut basalt]

Since its over time, so u can pick how much u wanna get drained

[lime token]

Paw is the best crobject though

[atomic leaf]

the blood moon is just so 🥰

[uncut basalt]

best as in most useful?

[uncut basalt]

Best as in favorite

[atomic leaf]

ahh ok

[uncut basalt]

I dont care about how useful cursed objects are

[empty wraith]

MY GAME JUST CRASHED

[uncut basalt]

Imo if ur a good player u prob have em turned off

[empty wraith]

Well it didnt, BUT I GOT KICKED OUT OF MY GAME

[wise oyster]

Mirror is most useful. Cards are most fun in a group. imo ofc

[lime token]

Uncrash it

[atomic leaf]

cards solo are 🥀

[empty wraith]

WHY DOES IT KICK ME OUT WHEN I LOSE INTERNET CONNECTION THE GAME DOESNT EVEN NEED WIFI 😭😭😭

[uncut basalt]

I'd say ouija is more useful than mirror is

U can get location and then other info

[lime token]

8th crobject when

[uncut basalt]

Bone location, age, stuff like that

[empty wraith]

Now i have to go into another game, find bone and item again..

:(

[wise oyster]

Mirror gives you ghost room for 20%. Board gives you ghost location for 50%. Board is more versatile, but I like Mirror's cheap, clean info.

[atomic leaf]

real

[uncut basalt]

I dont mind using a sanity med early for board

[atomic leaf]

and if you use board right away half the time it says the room above or below the actual ghost room LOL

[empty wraith]

Why does my T3 torch click twice when i turn it on..?

[uncut basalt]

I dont typically use all my sanity meds in a run anyways

[empty wraith]

Has it always done that

[alpine flower]

Does the Map Explorer's images for hiding spots not load for everybody else's?

[lime token]

The old sm grind strat with board was great

[wise oyster]

All of them?

[alpine flower]

Yep, all of 'em

[atomic leaf]

[uncut basalt]

After dozens of times asking where its at, its never done that to me

Sounds strange

[uncut basalt]

My games played for any map that isnt the small 4, is prob combined 100 games

[alpine flower]

Guess its my ISP being funny again. Oh well.

[uncut basalt]

And like 70 of those 100 are the 2 farmhouses and the campsite

[haughty ruin]

Is it a bug that i had a phantom show its dots which i took a video off and the ghost was very much visible in the video?

[wise oyster]

Quite possibly. If you keep having problems, hop into the ZN discord and we can troubleshoot it there.

[lime token]

I wonder if we are getting a farmhouse id card when grafton comes out

Guys can all ghosts talk into sound recorder

[twilit kiln]

i had done so much salt too, but wasn't getting ultraviolet

[uncut basalt]

Yes

[empty wraith]

It did some goofy moaning noise i was wondering if that was a banshee scream ☠️

[twilit kiln]

so i was honestly gonna rule out uv but i just said fuck it we ball lol

[uncut basalt]

I believe banshee has a shorter interval, its like 64-180sec vs 82-180 or something like that

I cant remember the exact numbers

[lime token]

If it says paranormal scream it's a banshee

[uncut basalt]

they can do short roams but once the roam ends it has to go straight back to room, so it can't chain roam anymore to get far away (besides ghost events but i don't consider those roaming since the ghost is forced to teleport for them)

[empty wraith]

I got the glowy red lights event earlier

[tardy glacier]

hey guys i play phasmophobia in vr and my hands keep shaking with i hold an object ingame does anyone know how to fix this?

[empty wraith]

Throw Ur controller across the room and then it should be fine

/j dont do that

Buh how does my xbox app know i got an achievement when my wifi was cooked while i got the achievement and it still is cooked

My xbox has no connection to the outside world but my phone still knows i got an achievement

Cray cray

[echo musk]

happy thirstday!

[empty wraith]

I got hantu for the second time in a row but i died :(

Im struggling to get all of the media required

WAIT IT WAS THE MIMIC

LOL thank god it killed me before i could get all media

I would've been extremely disappointed

[marble sandal]

So I am in a lobby right now, the others can hear me, but I cant hear them

What do I do?
It's the third lobby in a row, it works when we are in the garage, but not when we go into the game itself

[echo musk]

I'm more struggling on this apoc 3 with patience. it's always downstairs now it seems.....and luckily today i got about an hour before i meet someone so it works. i just wish i understood para t3 better.

[wise oyster]

what don't you get?

[echo musk]

lots i guess. I get the arrows tell what floor. I get the circle states there's a sound. It's either door, thrown item, etc. I get that the sections are Meter'd off 1,5,15,30 so between is the rough number. what i don't get is if it's footsteps or object and I don't get why 1 be on near left line and another instant by right line within 1 sec instant.

or like Tuesdays game one was behind cross area and after hearing it i turned and another popped up behind piano area. if that describes better.

[twilit kiln]

are raiju's sorta rare to do their emf 5? had two back to back and neither did emf 5

[mossy mason]

EMF 5 has a 25% chance to appear with any interaction (so long as the ghost has it) instead of EMF 2 or 3

[atomic leaf]

33% chance like every other EMF 5 ghost

[twilit kiln]

i musta just got unlucky then

[undone ember]

Is EMF 3 only in the ghost room?

[spark lava]

Emf3 is specific actions like throwing objects

[wise oyster]

that's just how the UI for it work with the blip hopping over the line

[slow spade]

emf 3 is a throw

[undone ember]

Ok I thought it was only in the ghost room

[main meadow]

The only thing really tied to the ghost room is orbs if the ghost has it, the ghost is probably going to spend more time there and after a hunt it will return back.

[echo musk]

k. then nothing to help my gameplay and just wait or guess and try again later.

[wise oyster]

In terms of Apoc you're usually using it to listen to find the ghost and/or check speeds from a safe distance

[echo musk]

i'm not chasing it around downstairs lol. and the sounds are so inconsistant from male wing to female wing bouncing I'd spend more time roaming then getting any info.

[alpine flower]

Does it count for the EMF photo objective if you photograph it during a hunt?

[slow spade]

yeah

[alpine flower]

Nice, Apoc 3 here I come

[wise oyster]

Idk if it counts while it's got interference, but I know it counts if the ghost moves away and you take a picture while it's still beeping.

[uncut basalt]

Ghost can leave interaction emfs anywhere it roams

Which are emf 2 and 3 i believe

4 is for.. events i think?

Then 5 is emf 2/3 if it has that as an evidence, like a 25-33% to replace it

I think its 33

[undone ember]

I know it can do it wherever it roams to I was told that emf3 was only in the ghost room so thanks for telling me it wasn't 😄

[uncut basalt]

I dont think any emfs are ghost room specific

[undone ember]

Ok thanks for telling me

You seem pretty good at the game Subaru how long have you been playing?

[slow spade]

yeah

[slow spade]

to expand on this, ghosts can interact in a 2.12m radius in small/medium maps and 4.24m radius in large maps

so if you see a thrown item it means you are close to the ghost

[alpine flower]

What are the requirements for the ghost to do an event? So far into my 3rd try on Apoc 3, it has never evented

[undone ember]

It is extremely low on Apoc 3

[echo musk]

45 min game. 1086 nteractions, 3 room changes, 150 doors moved, 3 objects used (dk what,salt untouched, candle burned on it's own) 930 objects moved, and answer is Raiju. try again later tonight. Happy hunting all!

[wise oyster]

Ghost must be within about 12-15m of you to initiate an event, (usually) won't do one in the corridors.

[wise oyster]

It's not that the chances are too low; it's that it's so dangerous to hang around close enough to the ghost to get an event.

Like if you were just doing a 0san/Low Events game on a house map with normal speeds and sprint, getting an event objective usually isn't too bad

[edgy steeple]

Quick question, are you able to record the sounds that you get from the sound sensor with the sound recorder or no?

[vivid crater]

The room where are you standing in matters too

[alpine flower]

Yea, I'm kidna worried of it doing an event and then hunting afterwards because you know, 0 sanity

Pretty much just camping in the corridor and hope I get footsteps

Lol

[wise oyster]

The Event objective is one many people will reroll to avoid when doing Apoc. That and Cruci

[undone ember]

So what is the best way to get a ghost photo

[wise oyster]

Ironically, an event

[sudden adder]

HEY GUYS, im trying to get apoc 3, i have all my objective and the photo. but i need help desifering what ghost it is?

[wise oyster]

But if we're talking Apoc, maybe you don't need a photo? 🫢

[undone ember]

What is the speed

[terse hill]

I like to sit in the ghost room and either hope for a ghost event or when it hunts insta snap a photo and run with a smidge

Because for me atleast the ghost always starts visible

[undone ember]

We are talking about Apoc 3

[terse hill]

Ah mb i just joined uhh either be goated at photos or lock in

[alpine flower]

What about the parabolic one? Does it count hunting noises

[undone ember]

Lol

[wise oyster]

not the hunting noises themselves, but you can get a paranormal sound that counts during a hunt

[undone ember]

I would want a ghost event

[terse hill]

Im js goated at photos i sack myself sometimes for the photo

[alpine flower]

Lmao, got a rev just now. Beelined to me for my nightvision goggles. I thought it was going to be a Deo too

[wise oyster]

maybe you just do your objectives and leave and see what happens?

[alpine flower]

Nah it got me. Caught me off guard. Guess wishful thinking can cost a life

[mild summit]

Should I redo apoc 3 for funsies I got it with a deogen

[sudden adder]

how do you test for mare, yurei or onryo in apoc?

[mild summit]

Onryo is really fun to test on apoc 3

Mare too

[undone ember]

I'm only lv 41 and I tried Apoc 2 it probably won't be the smartest move I made

[sudden adder]

im struggling right now ToT im so close to having the achievement but i cant figure out the ghost

[sudden adder]

how do you do them?

[mild summit]

Same as in nightmare

With a firelight

In the ghost room

So not really possible or your are a goat at the game

[sudden adder]

its in the kitchen and im out of incense

oh okay

[mild summit]

Just guess something better than nothing

[robust zealot]

dumb question but is there an easier way to grab stuff in phas vr? im finding it kinda difficult to grab stuff sometimes

[mild summit]

Or wait till it changes room so you can rule out goryo

[mild summit]

Teleport grab in settings

[robust zealot]

Thank you

[sudden adder]

IT WAS A JINN

[zinc coyote]

[prisma laurel]

Jinn more like trash bin 🔥

[pure pagoda]

Love the spirit box i just got

Me: "how old are you"
Ghost: " an elderly infant"
😂

[sudden adder]

LMAO, sobbing and laughing now

[robust zealot]

i wonder if maybe one day they will use ai for the ghosts to speak

would be a great feature

[tall bridge]

Are you sure it didn't say "an elderly individual"?

[pure pagoda]

Nope i got it back to back saying infant😂🤣

[tall bridge]

Huh. I guess the ghost was just messing with you 😆

[vestal ferry]

Thatd be aweful

[pure pagoda]

Paradox ghost

🤣

[undone ember]

Why?

[zinc coyote]

Thats goryos

[prisma laurel]

Goryos can stay in their room with their doritos and mountain dew

[solemn stream]

Leave my boi alone!

[zinc coyote]

Stinky ghost

[solemn stream]

No, you

[zinc coyote]

I actually got spooked in phas for the first time in ages lol. Banshee spawned but I wasn't the target but spawned in front of me 😭

[solemn stream]

Lmao

[modern mauve]

I think I'll have to go ahead and test this

[winged hawk]

Is there color palette for phasmophobia?

[odd vale]

No

[winged hawk]

Sad, thnaks anyway

[robust zealot]

would be cool

[winged hawk]

Yeah

I wanted to set theme color for phasmophobia on my xbox elite series 2

[odd vale]

If it helps, I’ve screenshot things from video, games, etc, pasted the screenshot and eye dropped colors.

For anything I wanted to draw

[winged hawk]

Great idea tbh

[robust zealot]

u can find some websites that allow you to use photos or apply ur own texture colors

[winged hawk]

Kk

It worked, thanks

[plush lichen]

Hi! Im new in this channel. Not sure if this is the right chat to ask this but, does anyone know why I cant post a screenshot to the screenshot channel?
