[half violet]

damn

[last drift]

Never

As amazing as the quest is , it's only slightly more powerful than my samsung smartphone.

[naive plinth]

I dont think i have a favorite yet, the closest i get to favorite are the easiest ones to tell what they are, which im not even sure which ghost that would be. Great question though! I think deogen is probably the easiest to tell from a hunt perspective but the fact that deogens even exist mean you are kinda forced to confront the hunt and cant just go hide

I was really happy I was able to identify a Hantu via its hunt earlier today. i was down to 4 ghosts, and i hear slow, but now painfully slow steps, then it passed the ghost room where it was cold and sped up, then it turned the corner and went slow and it was one of those "Oh man im getting better thats a hantu!"

er, revenant might be the easiest hunt to tell because its like a ferarri ripping through the living rooms of tanglewood. I dunno!

Im trying to build on my "This happened so it wont be that" ghost huntin skills. Theres the easy ones like, salt stomped ok not wraith, breaker just shut off, not a jinn. But i dont know toooo many beyond that offhand quickly

[cosmic belfry]

Was playing Nell’s diner on nightmare mode earlier and the ghost room was men’s bathroom way in the back, touched the door and instant Obake fingers. Best feeling.

[last drift]

Oni - no air ball
Mimic - ability of orbs
Wraith - salt
Gallu - salt
Onryo - can blow out candles within 20s of another blow out

Uh what else

Its all in the guide

The cheat sheet

[cosmic belfry]

Phantom doesn’t show on camera

[last drift]

Eh

[lament wing]

Well, Wraith would be no salt disturbed. Gallu disturbs one salt, then after 2 seconds, it no longer disturbs salt.

[last drift]

Thats how its SUPPOSED to work

More or less, it disappears after you take a photo.But the event still continues.

[last drift]

Yeah , if it disturbs salt , but now it's hunting and it won't....

[lament wing]

I know that feeling, first time that happened to me was when I identified a Raiju with only like 1 evidence, even though it was 3 evidence game.

[barren warren]

Moroi - 7s smudge
Shade - cant interact with you in room
Goryo - cant change rooms, dots only visible on camera
Spirit - 3m smudge

Alot of easy ones

[last drift]

Also not sharing a room, goryo

Everyone has to be outside of the room for it to show its stupid dots

Or it can start its dots event outside of the room , and then walk in

[cosmic belfry]

Unique to Goryo - won’t show on DOTS in physical state only on camera

[last drift]

When alone.

[barren warren]

Goryo is so dumb i hate it

[last drift]

Oh, and he never changes rooms.Unless you force him to

And he doesn't long roam.

[cosmic belfry]

I mean 90% of the playerbase is for the most part

[last drift]

You haven't played public lobbies lately where they all just want to gather in the room and keep the lights dark and just sit there , draining their sanity , wondering why this shade won't hunt

[cosmic belfry]

I heard randoms in MP on this game are chill compared to others but eh

[barren warren]

Worst piece of junk to come across in my 0 sanity/evidence runs

[cosmic belfry]

Lol set up a candle for them, at least it stops sanity drain partially

[last drift]

... When the meat shields die , I can complete the investigation

Lolololol

[sand marten]

Zero evidence Deogens… aka playing the game of “hope you hear it sprinting toward your hiding spot in time to not be pinned down”

[half hatch]

guys the custom vc's have the same name 🔥

first time seeing that

[prisma laurel]

The video camera or the photo camera?

[sand marten]

Phantom doesn’t show on the photo for the photo camera, and I think that can change if you’re not the one who took the photo

Since the photo taker and the other players often see a slightly different image

A much better way (for me) to gauge a Phantom photo is when you see the DOTS ghost just vanish instantly

Of course that doesn’t work on zero evidence

[sturdy willow]

What does 'shape shifting ghost' mean on the camera is it a mimic?

[lime holly]

it means the mimic mimicked obake

[sturdy willow]

so it's automatically a mimic gotcha thank you

[last drift]

Wait

Mimics dont shape shift. Its either mimic OR obake

[sturdy willow]

But obake only shift when they hunt I thought

[lime holly]

Oh wait

[last drift]

When did you and how did you get this ability photo or video

[lime holly]

i read ur initial statement wrong.

Its likely obake but mimic is possible

thought u said if it is mimic

[prime elk]

eepybunny

What does this do / mean is it a mimic?

[sturdy willow]

I got it here in my game just a few min ago

[last drift]

Are you solo

[sturdy willow]

nope

[last drift]

I would assume that the ghost was hunting and you caught it shapeshift on video

[lime holly]

yeah ghost is definitely hunting there

[last drift]

Which means it's either in a obake or it's a mimic during that hunt , pretending to be an obake

[sturdy willow]

Door was open and eberything there wasn't a hunt

[last drift]

Can't imagine any other instance when that video would have occurred , then...

[sturdy willow]

i've never seen this before until today so i asked

[last drift]

Is it possible you have a monkey paw

Someone wished to leave

[coarse dome]

Why codes is not working? When I'm in eu only 50 people are active

[lime holly]

ghost shapeshift only appears during hunts

[last drift]

Turn on crossplay

[lime holly]

I have seen bugs in the past where the entrance door is open despite ghost hunting

[coarse dome]

my friends are on pc

[sturdy willow]

we have tarrot cards

[coarse dome]

me too

[sturdy willow]

but im on pc.

[lime holly]

its prolly the entrance door bugged and ghost is in fact hunting

[last drift]

Yes.\nBut you still actually have to turn on cross play to see players who have cross play on if you have cross play off and your p c players have crossed play on you're not gonna see them

[sturdy willow]

eh, i just wonder if its a new interaction bc it's never seen before

[last drift]

Keep looking for other evidence.But you might have an obake

Possibly mimic

[coarse dome]

still 50

[last drift]

-fix Ok if you turned on crossplay, make sure your friends have crossplay on too,

make sure you clear your filter of languages and other settings, and your pc players do the same,

yo i just found a raiju doing the yurei interaction on a closet door. has this happened to anyone or does anyone know if this is normal? maybe im just delulu

[lime holly]

all ghosts can now fully close/open doors

[coarse dome]

trobuleshooting are tickets?

[lunar raft]

and how do i know then if its a yurei or now

[last drift]

A little bit lower below that

Support portal

[lime holly]

yurei can only ever fully open/close doors. Other ghosts can still touch the doors slightly

[last drift]

This

[coarse dome]

I dont see that

[lime holly]

misunderstanding

yurei’s only option is to fully shut a door or fully open a door.

Any other ghost can fully shut door, fully open door, or briefly touch it

[lunar raft]

okay thanks, that helps

[last drift]

Oh?

[coarse dome]

ohhh, I tought dc channel

[last drift]

I gotchu fam

[lime holly]

once they do yurei ability on a door it breaks that door and it cant happen again

[coarse dome]

thank u

[last drift]

Hahaha oh yeah I heard that

Hilarious

[analog sphinx]

bro what is this new glitch where dead ppl can pick up our stuff?

these ppl died and kept picking up the cruci so the ghost kept hunting

[naive plinth]

Some of these are more advanced for me to tell at the moment. Either finite timing or distance based, getting there slowly.

Wraith salt ez
Hantu breaker flipped on ez (but usually I have it on anyway)
Jinn cant flip off ez
Goryo dots ez

Havnt perfected phantoms gimmick, and I've never caught the ghost with the 20s firelight blow, also the cheat sheet says its possibly not true right?

[analog sphinx]

the smudge test for both during a hunt and after a hunt is pretty easy too. you feel as if the ghost is under the smudge effect longer than usual, thats a moroi

[naive plinth]

The spirit smudge is easy, the others havnt got it yet

[analog sphinx]

if u take a pic of ghost during a ghost event and it disappears immediately its a phantom but u can tell during a hunt

oni aswell during a hunt its pretty visable

if we were to say a - is visibility and . is invisible, for a phantom its like - .... - .... - and for oni its --- .. ---- .. ---

[barren warren]

*phantoms are mostly invisible when hunting

[analog sphinx]

yeh i shouldve worded it correctly

for a dayan u can try during a hunt and hide, move back and forth in ur hiding spot and u might hear her getting faster when u move and slower when u stop <- still havent tested this fully

[naive plinth]

Yeah moving through the stages of isolating these out getting there though, im 1-96 atm but the first prestige was freebie and I was auto 26 on login, by the time I get to 2-96 I expect to be way better

[barren warren]

If theres one gimmick i struggle with 100% of the time, its the myling

I watched madixx's video on all the ghosts, which provided an example of mylings footsteps compared to normal footsteps, but they sound the same to me so im very confused

[analog sphinx]

demons and thayes hunt pretty quickly, only difference is that thayes r hella quick when theyre young and demons hunt under 1:30 after being smudged or they burn cruci quicker than rest of ghosts, if im right bout this

[prime elk]

doctorcoctor

20 second test is actually easier with a lighter, when you initially light it, the onryo is the only ghost that can immediately blow it out without waiting for it to be lit for 20 seconds (a bit different than the classic 20 second test)

Triggered by hammond • Click username to jump to message · Jan 10, 2026, 10:58 PM

[last drift]

Re: onryo 20 second flame

[analog sphinx]

also onryo cant light up a candle around the house or a campfire <- unless this has been changed

[naive plinth]

Ghosts can blow out your LIGHTER?! In your hands?! Haha

[tall imp]

yup

[torpid wyvern]

How the heck can ghosts create fire anyways?

[naive plinth]

Holy moly

[barren warren]

If i can actually break down how myling works THEN i can finally master it

[analog sphinx]

its a ghost hunting game, everything is possible

[torpid wyvern]

Except sprinting like u mean it

And jumping

[lime holly]

Myling footsteps fade in later

[analog sphinx]

ghost hunters have weak knees, no judgement

[analog sphinx]

you hear heavy breathing but no footsteps

actually i LOVE raijus cause they completely blow off my ears when the loud ahh heartbeats coming from us

[torpid wyvern]

Yeah, I’m sure having a mental state about as stable as a car with 3 wheels don’t help much either

[barren warren]

Heavy breathing? The ghosts sound different every game

[analog sphinx]

they all sound like heavy breathing to me

[naive plinth]

If you are hiding in tanglewood closet before a hunt starts, then a hunt starts, and the ghost is NOT a deogen, will using equipment, or having your lights on make them find you and kill you? (Not talking about the door opening i mean like boom your dead it saw you)

[torpid wyvern]

You make 2k in one day! However… you go clinically insane, you risk death, you will likely see your friends die, and you may or may not get trapped in eternal damnation by a ghost

[barren warren]

Fade in at a certain distance or is it something else

[torpid wyvern]

Ghosts can hear electronics, and it doesn’t take a genius to know when hiding to turn your lights off and be quiet

[lime holly]

Distance

[wise oyster]

Ghosts detect active electronics from 7.5m away (2.5m for Yokai)

[naive plinth]

Detect as in, if I leave on a sound recorder in my hand sitting in a closet ghost gonna kill me ya?

Never tried always turned everything off

[wise oyster]

yeah

[lime holly]

Normal ghost footsteps you can hear from a max of 20m away. Then as they get closer the footsteps get louder

Myling’s you can only hear from a max of 12m away. Then they get louder at the same rate as normal ghosts as they get closer. But because they started late their footsteps are always quieter

[torpid wyvern]

The flashlight trick works well for mylings

[barren warren]

Hmm okay, once i find a myling ill try this out

[lime holly]

yep. And thats because disturbance range (what makes the flashlight begin flickering) is 10m which is close enough to 12m

[last drift]

Yes

[torpid wyvern]

Another great use for the T3 parabolic mic!

[naive plinth]

Havnt reached the skill yet where I can understand why some people dont use t3 crux, or t3 salt. (Everything else seems personal preference based)

[torpid wyvern]

It ok. Here’s how it be. T3 crusifix costs ur first born and slowing salts alter ghost speed during hunts, which is good indicator

[naive plinth]

In regards to salt, its just a temporary slow though isnt it? Which seems if anything...beneficial, and after a few seconds you just go back to trying to rule out the hunt

[wise oyster]

T3 cruci is too large to reliably test for Onryo with a single firelight

[lime holly]

t3 crucifix sometimes has a range too large that u dont want it to be burned so easily. Like if ur playing a small map t2 is fine

Also if u intend to use cursed object u may forget about t3 crucifix in room which prevents cursed hunts

[naive plinth]

Like, I dunno how "OH no t3 salt made the ghost slow for 3 seconds" is going to really interfere with determination

[lime holly]

as for t3 salt if u dont want the slow effect during hunt you use t2 instead

[wise oyster]

Yes, T3 salt slows the ghost for a few seconds, similar to T2 smudge. Can definitely help you in a pinch. Just don't get thrown off by the ghost changing speeds

[torpid wyvern]

Its temp, but its gonna finagle with ghost speeds while its actively trying to kill you. No bueno

It’s also why I like the tier 1 grass

[barren warren]

Also as a comparison because I usually struggle with measuring meters, how many meters is, lets say, the foyer hall in tanglewood

[wise oyster]

The maps on the cheat sheet are all done in a 1x1 grid

[lime holly]

tanglewood is pretty small

but from my experience if u hide in nursery u cannot hear myling footsteps in kitchen but you can faintly hear other ghosts

[barren warren]

Hmm okay thanks yall

[lime holly]

but yeah in cheat sheet’s map explorer you can also click and drag on the map and itll display the range

very useful tool. I use it a lot to create strategies on 15x to get perfect game most consistently

[ruby zealot]

Is there a bitting crisis

Botting

[acoustic junco]

Does anyone have any tips for a beginner?

[lime holly]

expect to die a lot

[acoustic junco]

Ik

[heady sigil]

If it doesn't step in salt then it's a wraith

[naive plinth]

Do tutorial and then from there whatever you want be it videos, using cheat sheets, learning by experience, getting your hand held in multi-player etc

[barren warren]

Are you like new new

[acoustic junco]

Ive been playing for like 3 weeks so kinda

[graceful lynx]

Curious, if you break the luigi board while the ghost is smudged- dopes it prevent the hunt?

[lime holly]

nope itll still hunt

[graceful lynx]

make sure to keep the lights on in areas that you just travel through, it preserves sanity and gives you more time to learn

[lime holly]

cursed hunts are also forced hunts

[graceful lynx]

will half a T3 Zefix prevent the hunt?

[lime holly]

nope. Cursed hunts require 2 burns from t3

[graceful lynx]

ok so the board burned and we got no hunt

[lime holly]

so ghost was prolly eventing or currently in a hunt

[graceful lynx]

no event, no hunt

[lime holly]

then idk

would need a video to get better answer

[graceful lynx]

it would be a video of a board burning and no hunt in Nells, right by the door so we can tell it wasnt hunting and didnt hunt

[tight isle]

Any tips if I keep getting it down to 2 ghosts but never get it right?

[lime holly]

yeah and then some way to show for sure it wasnt eventing

[graceful lynx]

Total activity on the board was 0

[lime holly]

cause some events are one-frame or happen in large rooms

might work if u show activity board

[graceful lynx]

ok our ghost was broken anyways

never hunted for some reason

which just caused us to misidentify spirit

[lime holly]

friendly ghost?

[graceful lynx]

x5.62 multiplier

it lit up all the zefixes nicely, but it never actually hunted

[topaz star]

i wish like casper

[lime holly]

Is it possible u had a 2nd t3 crucifix somewhere that it burned that one

when the board was broken

[graceful lynx]

They were both at 50% when we did the Board

[tight isle]

You guys talking about crucifixes and multipliers and I’m out here on amateur trying to learn how to identify the ghost

[topaz star]

evidencessss

[lime holly]

evidence

[tight isle]

I try but fail a lot

[graceful lynx]

gotta get all three (four) evidences, that's a 100% match

[tight isle]

What’s the best piece of equipment to find the ghost room the fastest?

[acoustic junco]

Thanks, do you know tips for finding the ghost room because I suck at that

[topaz star]

temp

[graceful lynx]

Use thermo to find the cold room

[acoustic junco]

Alright

[graceful lynx]

Haunted Mirror 😉

[analog sphinx]

temp, emf or vid camera

[lime holly]

video camera and check each room and ideally you find orbs.

If no orbs turn on breaker and wait like a minute then u can check temperatures with thermo

emf reader good as well. On larger maps paramic can be better. But not t1 that one is 🚮

[graceful lynx]

tbh only 50% chance for orbs even on 3 evidence

[lime holly]

yeah

[tight isle]

Is breath only in ghost room if the rest of house is warm?

[graceful lynx]

and on amateur house starts warm so you can find ghost room really easy. 19.9°C = Ghost is here

[lime holly]

in most cases yes

[graceful lynx]

breath is in any room where the ghost was long enough to drop it below 5°C. Some wandering ghosts may confuse you.

[random chasm]

Guys should I get phasmophobia?

[lavish cosmos]

ye

[random chasm]

I've been wanting it but idk if I should get it or not

[graceful lynx]

btw can we expect any improvements to video evidence, e.g. dots ghosts being impossible to catch due to the short duration?

[tight isle]

The ghost is nice and made me a sink of chocolate milk

[lime holly]

hopefully yes. It needs it

Have heard nothing about that being changed anytime soon though

[hoary sluice]

have the devs still not fixed photos btw
i thought htey said you will no longer get a dirty water photo while taking a full ghost photo front and center but it literally just happened on Nell's Diner

maybe not dirty water but you know

[graceful lynx]

I currently cant get a motion detected video

[hoary sluice]

also, you can take a picture of the bone twice and both will count as unique

[mossy mason]

T3?

[snow merlin]

Do ghost orbs only appear in the ghost room?

[graceful lynx]

yes both is t3

[mossy mason]

it's a bug with t3 motion sensor, if you use t2 it wont happen
been happening since bleasdale rework

[graceful lynx]

I just did that and the second one was worthless

[snow merlin]

Does anybody know?

[graceful lynx]

yes

[twilit thunder]

yes @snow merlin

[graceful lynx]

also: Which EMF 5 ghost hunts at above 70%?

[snow merlin]

Thank yall

[graceful lynx]

nevermind the last quesiton, my friend forgot to goodbye the board

[random chasm]

Would anyone wanna play phasmophobia with me and give me a hand?

[worthy nebula]

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding, but why require someone to have a microphone if you or the others aren't saying anything or communicating with each other? Then again, I could be misunderstanding something.

abandoned mine, eh?

a bit of a problem would be that it would be very monotonous.

[analog widget]

It has potential

If it were to be a map the devs would just have to make it interesting and not monotonous which wouldn't be too hard the devs seemed to have gotten pretty good at reworks and making new maps

[barren warren]

Like an abandoned cave mine?

[boreal arrow]

I got it today to like i said before started today so i did not know how to get an photo cam i already buyed 9 but i got it after 7 youtube tuts🤣

I mean how to get it in the truck than

[rancid ivy]

So I wasn't aware that I could video record the distorted music.

[lament wing]

The singing event? Or what do you mean?

[rancid ivy]

The radio that appears in some rooms on the house maps. Apparently it is video recordable, but not audio?

[shrewd flint]

Guys how do i get better at being able to read certain ghost’s ability’s and remembering?

[echo pumice]

I just seen ghost hunt itself on Woodwind, I stood there at the van watching him like nobody inside lol

[zinc coyote]

[lime token]

That can happen on woodwind a bit I've noticed, it's like right after you leave the map

[echo pumice]

We were just debating about the ghost because it was one of our first nightmares and after cooking both crucis we still only had one evidence (dots) and nothing else wanted to show then gate closed and it started hunting around the benches lmao

Also yurei on Woodwind, not inside bathroom is 👌

[craggy copper]

The crazy thing is it only happens in woodwind 😭🙏

[zinc coyote]

Poop wind

[echo pumice]

Is there a list somewhere of guaranteed 2 evidence ghosts can show on nightmare or do they rng from 3 evidence every game?

[zinc coyote]

cheat sheet

[lime token]

There's a couple like obake guaranteeing UV and goryo dots etc

[vagrant ocean]

so am on an alt releveling, i walk in to the ghost rooms and 3 event and a door touch in under a minute, possible thaye?

[worthy mountain]

they rng from 3 evid every game, yeah, but some of them have forced evids, it will be like:

• Forced evid. + random between 2

[echo pumice]

We are using this website but struggled with demon during the hunt, it did sound like jinn with los and breaker on but without having actual los and the website says demon is 1.7/s also slowed down when breaker was off (checking for hantu) and we were sure it's a jinn but somehow was a demon

[worthy mountain]

ghost accelerates when chases a player

[scenic narwhal]

anyone wanna play? its been mothes for me \

months*

[echo pumice]

It was smudged and both of us were deeply hidden since forever, was very confusing

[prime elk]

Please keep 'looking for group' requests in our designated channels. Check them out, Investigator: #lfg-eu | #lfg-na | #lfg-as | #lfg-sa!

[craggy copper]

Demons are aggressive and very agile

[scenic narwhal]

im redowlading the game but im pretty sure im 11th prest

[worthy mountain]

they just have high threshold and ability to start a hunt, which makes a total chance for hunt higher. It’s not more active than any other regular ghost

[craggy copper]

Ohh I see

[barren warren]

Demons, when smudged, can hunt after 60s instead of 90s
Also demons have an ability that allows them to hunt at ANY sanity

[lime token]

Also the 20 second hunt cooldown compared to the 25 seconds of any other ghost

[echo pumice]

Yee I wish we didn't sit outside without timer and debate if it's jinn, hantu or a demon because most of the game it literally did nothing

Not even a single object thrown, just existing

[worthy mountain]

also cruci range is increase… ☝️🤓

[lime token]

It be like that sometimes

[lime token]

Forgot about that lol

[worthy mountain]

lol it doesn't matter) it's not part of the conversation, I was just joking that I was too abstruse

[lime holly]

does it change the priority system for what crucifix will be burned if u have both setup?

the other day I had a 14x game and had both t3 crucifixes one inside room and one outside. i knew ghost inside the room with motion sensors and it burned the outside one instead. i had only ever seen demon do that so i chose demon even though i never got a successful early hunt test

[vagrant ocean]

does the obambo do anything unique, i have yet to run into one

[lime holly]

not sure if thats a real thing or if that was just lucky

[lime token]

One thing I want to do is memorise all of the room names, I'm always saying "uhhh, it's over there beside that room" or something silly lol

[echo pumice]

I also had ghost burn unrelated cruci to the one I placed music box on lol, not sure what's the pattern

[lime token]

I remember hearing something about cruci priority, 1 cruci is prioritised over the other, which could in theory be used for demon tests

[lime holly]

yeah its why I ultimately chose demon even though i did the smudge test 3 times never got an early hunt

still went with demon cause of that and was right

[lime token]

I forgot how to know which one had priority tho :(

[worthy mountain]

there’s a priority between crucis

[worthy mountain]

1 min

left one has priority over the right, but you just can change it if you will just scroll it in your inventory

“update” it, and updated one will be less priority

[lime token]

Interesting

[worthy mountain]

useful on small rooms, where “increased” range can fully cover the room

[lime token]

Obviously I'm not smart enough what so ever to utilise this lol but it's neat

[lime holly]

I feel like with the amount of times i juggle those items and they get put away in my inventory id lose track regardless

Guess my demon test was coincidence then

[atomic leaf]

if I say bloody mary 3 times will my payout at the end of the game increase

[worthy mountain]

yes, obviously

[lime token]

reseting savefile gives 5x xp boost for a year

[lime holly]

anyways the map was edgefield and room was large blue bedroom

with one t3 crucifix in the center of that room and the other placed in the hallway between the two closets

and so when it burned the one outside in the hallway when i knew it was inside large blue bedroom is why i went demon.

[worthy mountain]

at the call of the heart

[lime holly]

its gonna make me reconsider how i place my crucifixes though

[tall imp]

Congrats on the twins lmao

[lime holly]

In theory i can make it a true demon test if i space the 2nd one so that only the extended demon range would let it work

[tall imp]

That shimmy spot was crazy

[atomic leaf]

thank god I got at least one today new ghost today

[tall imp]

fr 🙏

mare next

[worthy mountain]

justly you got twins?

[atomic leaf]

yeah thankfully

[tiny swift]

Can anyone help me identify a ghost in a clip i have?

[worthy mountain]

nice nice, when mare bro?
just force it 😏

[tall imp]

Also sniped the best interaction photo

[lime holly]

Send in #videos

[atomic leaf]

now how on earth am I supposed to “force it” 😭😭😭

[worthy mountain]

BROO

[lime holly]

lowkey when u get to the last remaining ghost u can pre-select it in journal 😂

[worthy mountain]

idk say bloody mary 67 times?

[atomic leaf]

LMFAO

[lime holly]

if it wrong its a duplicate

[atomic leaf]

let me get a voodoo doll

i’ll just fake the mare ability

[worthy mountain]

yes pls

[lime token]

Just scream "any ghost can do thattt" before every game

[lime holly]

We bring back lightswitch redeem 😂

[atomic leaf]

I cant believe looking back at my “any ghost can do that” it’s not even true lmao

[atomic leaf]

LMAO

[worthy mountain]

ok i need to fall asleep finally, i just can’t fuck, I should have fallen asleep 4 hours ago 😐

bb

[atomic leaf]

do you need me to read you a bedtime story

[worthy mountain]

[atomic leaf]

💀

[worthy mountain]

also bro change your nickname
put your real lvl
werent you VII-088 last stream?

[atomic leaf]

ALRIIIIGHT

[analog widget]

What are y'alls favourite map?

[worthy mountain]

idk i feel like i just said the most cringy thing ever

[topaz star]

[worthy mountain]

wind campwood

[topaz star]

Full sunny meadows

[analog widget]

Mine is either Grafton Farmhouse or Nell's Diner

[lime holly]

Edgefield

[tall imp]

willow street

[topaz star]

Best small map in my opinion

[worthy mountain]

as i know when this map was being tested, Justly himself tested it

[analog widget]

Cww is an abomination that needs to be reworked

To this day I don't know how the devs thought "yeah releasing this map is a great idea"

[lime holly]

they did do some things right on it though

like having truck near gate and good lighting

[tall imp]

who actually likes brownstone

i mean i would if the bone didn't make my investigations half an hour longer

[lime holly]

if bone didnt exist id love it

[tall imp]

lmao

the bone needs some sort of rework

ts sucks

[lime holly]

removal

[stark dove]

i JUST got stuck in a mop bucket on that map 😭

ruined my apoc run

[tall imp]

even on grafton the bone sometimes just isnt in a humanly accessable place

[atomic leaf]

I love that I know the exact spot your talking about

[tall imp]

the ONLY reason i enjoy playing sunny meadows is cuz the bone is free rn

[lime holly]

new grafton is one of my least favorite maps

[tall imp]

i LOVE the atmosphere of it

[lime holly]

design and aesthetic wise its fine but it feels so painful gameplay-wise

[tall imp]

if u get a top floor ghost ur cooked

so annoying

[lime holly]

truck far away from map, poor lighting, bone bad

[tall imp]

wait are you still in the run?

[atomic leaf]

running a marathon just to get to the front door

[analog widget]

thats bc 99.999% of the time you play on 14x or 15x and you don't have breaker on and your slow as hell

[tall imp]

one time in apoc i got stuck on a hospital bed and a chair

[lime holly]

seems to be the new norm 😔 and im still not ready to process when tanglewood joins that club

[analog widget]

if your a casual player those problems you have don't really exist

[tall imp]

i was able to escape by turning on frame gen and turning it off, it was immediately free

[atomic leaf]

gonna be walking down the street just to get to the front door :(

[stark dove]

nope i called the ghost over to kill me

[lime holly]

Even as a casual you feel the pain when your sprint runs out to get back to the truck

[tall imp]

o7

[lime holly]

its why so many people want backpacks

[analog widget]

tbf weren't the trucks on old grafton and bleasdale already far away

[lime holly]

Bleasdale’s rework didnt really change

Graftons got further away

[stark dove]

forget the truck lets carry our equipment from the lobby to the house

[abstract basalt]

hii

[stark dove]

heyo

[main meadow]

Just pay for VR it's like dlc ez.

[analog widget]

sadly Dk publicly shot down the idea

[rocky dawn]

hello

[atomic leaf]

they want us to suffer

[abstract basalt]

i played phas for the first time and i have a funny clip i think where can i share it :c

[atomic leaf]

aka give me carpel tunnel

[analog widget]

just play with a full lobby smh

[lime holly]

yeah and im ok with no backpacks but just at least put the truck closer

[atomic leaf]

every map should be like old asylum

opening the truck inside the map 💀

[lime holly]

nah someday we’ll prob have macros for quickly grabbing items

[lime holly]

Real that was awesome

[tall imp]

on my grafton investigations if its anything harder than insanity i just dump all my crap at the front door

[main meadow]

Id love to use my red dragon macro to grab gear and open truck but I play too much mp and end up in wrong starting position to TAS

[analog widget]

Imo they won't put the truck further away bc to that they would have to make the lawn bigger but that wouldn't make sense bc a house like tw wouldn't have a big lawn

[lime holly]

this about to age like milk 😭

[atomic leaf]

they should make it so the bone can spawn out of the map too

like a little easter egg hunt in front yard of the map

wouldn’t that just be nice

[lime holly]

At first i thought that wouldnt be good idea but now i actually like the sound of it as it gives a legitimate reason to look around the outside of the map

[atomic leaf]

honestly it would be fun to utilize the whole map LOL

[lime holly]

honestly if they do rework bone

[atomic leaf]

brownstone would be a nightmare

[lime holly]

I want it to work like how the krampus boxes do

With preset locations you just check off

[atomic leaf]

same

[analog widget]

yea that actually ain't a bad idea

[lime holly]

And that would avoid bone glitches

[tall imp]

nah they would still find a way to glitch them

dont underestimate the devs

[analog widget]

It would be pretty nice on maps like Nell's and Grafton bc they have such pretty outsides but you never really get to really appreciate them bc you are inside the map most of the time

[lime holly]

Underestimating them… or is it overestimating their abilities to code it without glitches?

[tall imp]

nah

how else would they have work to do

[lime holly]

yep

[analog widget]

are y'all up for a few games?

[cobalt matrix]

why are we parking so far from the buildings fr

[tall imp]

i suck at phasmo playing with me would be a burden

[zinc coyote]

Ram the truck inside of the building

[cobalt matrix]

like the ghost ain't coming in bruh drive up to that front door

[analog widget]

driver is prolly just scarred of going near the building

[analog widget]

are you still busy?

[odd vale]

Repo style

[lime holly]

Ikr

[lime holly]

im home now but yeah got other w*rk to do

[analog widget]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

I mean tbf if I were the truck driver I would want to park as far away as possible from the haunted building

[lime holly]

Tbf we did that to old asylum

need to do it again

[analog widget]

We prolly got sued for damaging property

[lime holly]

nah that building is getting dismantled anyways after the ghost is expelled

[wintry forge]

Yooo, hope y'all are doing well. Just got deep into phasmo about a month ago, and am loving it.

[quiet cipher]

Yea its a fire game

[wintry forge]

I dunno if this is in development but I figured I'd drop the idea here, see what people think. Already brought it up on Reddit.

But... I keep cycling this idea. Imagine if ghosts remembered things a little more. Like, not in a sci‑fi AI way, just… enough that how players act, actually changes what the ghosts do. Say you and your friends barely survive a demon. It hunts hard, you scramble, barely get out. Then the next group comes in later, and it’s quieter at first. Almost playful. And then, slowly, it acts fully like that demon again.
The weird part is how that would mess with people. Stories stop lining up. You tell someone what happened, and when they try it… it’s different. Even small delays or subtle cues would make you second guess what you know.
Veterans would notice the most, newbies not so much. You’d start seeing patterns, then realize they shift just enough to make you doubt yourself. And it could totally be optional. A special mode that gently scales fear based on how players behave.
I also think it’d be fun if people could jot down little observations after a run. Not a guide, just little notes for themselves or others to glance at. Nothing heavy, just tiny things that help you notice patterns without breaking the mystery.
It’d make the ghosts feel alive in a quiet, sneaky way, without ever being unfair.

Apologies for the text wall. My brain is churning ideas

[quiet cipher]

Honestly i think that should be a whole different mode itself. W idea tho

[wintry forge]

Exactly, that would make this absolutely terrifying

[lime holly]

until the ghost realizes all it has to do to win is not act like its type at all

[quiet cipher]

Fr

[lime holly]

or in apocalypse mode just insta hunt and run straight to the entrance

[wise oyster]

sounds cool, but almost sounds like another game

[lime holly]

Imagine phasmo ghosts were given logic

[wintry forge]

I see what you're saying, but it has guardrails based on its archetype. Demons act like demons for the most part. Spirits act like spirits, and revenants, act like revenants. But they learn and have a limited memory of playthroughs before you or playthroughs you've already done.

[lime holly]

like they knew we were at 50% player speed and no sprint

so all the ghosts on sunny meadows will immediately check entrance first

[wise oyster]

We know horror 2.0 is going to overhaul hunts in some ways. I wouldnt' be surprised at all if ghost AI was altered

[edgy radish]

is anyone elses game bugging when using cams

[quiet cipher]

Nah

[wintry forge]

I haven't seen the developments yet but I'm excited.

[wise oyster]

some of that could be done just with RNG tweaking of existing systems

[wintry forge]

EXACTLY

[wise oyster]

no one has, we've just gotten bits and pieces of ideas over the years

[wintry forge]

This'll be intriguing tbh if that happens. I'd probably cry from it.

Terrifying in all the right ways. Make you doubt yourself and feel like the ghost is changing habits. It basically gives them a personality but within their own archetype

[wise oyster]

and while I understand how that makes everything feel more in its place, at least for now the wild RNG can be part of the charm. But I love iteration, too, and I'm not gonna pretend there's no room for improvement there.

[wintry forge]

Bingo. That's why I say make it a dlc or an additional play mode.

[wise oyster]

It doesn't sound like enough to be its own game mode, and that's a lot of extra development to do properly.

[wintry forge]

At least 6 to 8 months probably if it's done right if not more

[wise oyster]

The question has to be: What's the best way for ghosts to act in Phasmophobia?

[lime holly]

horror 2.0 scares me

[wise oyster]

if we got a separate game mode, it should be a party mode that allows you to pick your own gear and play any settings at any level, that doesn't award XP.

[lime holly]

if they change the core gameplay too much it may completely make or break the game to the point it wouldnt be the same game anymore

[wintry forge]

Whatever their archetype is. Those are the guardrails. Within that, it varies based on the ghost's "personality" that it developed from the last player. Think lobbies for fps. And how they're matched. But you're matching with the ghost

[wise oyster]

yeah even if they do a good job it will be major and controversial

[lime holly]

and i have no idea if ill like how it turns out or not

[wise oyster]

see all these extra layers is where you lose me

[lime holly]

seems very complex

you’d probably need to implement some kind of machine learning

Rather than how it works rn which is basically dice rolls to determine its action

[wise oyster]

and I don't play CoD or anything, so that comparison is lost on me (and doesn't sound like something Phas is going for)

[wise oyster]

right, and I'd agree that those dice could be weighted to better reflect the supposed personalities of the ghosts

[lime holly]

The way i envision that idea would play out would be each ghost is a different ai model trained with different behaviors on how its suppose to act

which yeah would become very complex

[wise oyster]

you could code it without that. Just do something similar to how it works now with a better decision tree

that's what I mean in how we could see ghost AI change in horror 2.0

[lime holly]

maybe

[analog widget]

Horror 2.0 will either be one phasmo's best updates or it'll be the worst update phasmo will ever have

[wise oyster]

ghosts are always making random decisions, just have them make better ones

[wintry forge]

The thing is they already have basic archetypes. Such as spirits responding to Spirit boxes and emf 5. Their responses to the equipment are their archetype. You just build within that framework

[lime holly]

Regardless of how it turns out its gonna kill the game for some users

[atomic leaf]

it’ll probably just be underwhelming since it’s the most hyped update for this game

[lime holly]

I have a feeling we may see a few known names here in this server quit playing after its release

[wise oyster]

the archetype thing feels like drawing arbitrary boxes

[atomic leaf]

but yeah i agree with this no matter how good or bad it is it’ll just not be enough for some people

[wintry forge]

That's what the addition to memory is for. Say you're dealing with the twins. Imagine them being hyper aggressive, or at least one of them, and the other one acting like a shade. It'd throw you off, the game does that already. But it learns. Imagine if both of them were timid, rather than completely random, it's dependent on play style

[atomic leaf]

kinda like tanglewood

[wise oyster]

yeah you're definitely describing another game

like it sounds cool, but that's not phas

[analog widget]

I am okay with them changing the hunting and events system they just 1 need to not be completely different and 2 be good changes that were needed

[lime holly]

I agree. Its been hyped for so long and whenever that happens when the actual update comes out people’s expectations grow way to high and then no matter what they added itll flop

[buoyant tartan]

Sooo it's been since like late 2024 since I played the game alot, have they tweaked any ghosts or added any new ones since then?

[wise oyster]

just added 3 new ones last month

[buoyant tartan]

Wait fr?

[analog widget]

yeah that'll happen regardless even if the horror 2.0 is really good

[lime holly]

happened with stranger things s5 being overhyped then everyones expectations too high

[buoyant tartan]

Game might actually be scary again now that I don't know what every ghost does :D

[buoyant tartan]

Tbh Stranger Things just shat itself in terms of writing regardless of expectations

[wise oyster]

I didn't watch it but that's what I saw the most: like final season of game of thrones, just ruined everything it had set up

[lime holly]

i will admit it had its flaws but in the grand scheme of things it really wasnt that bad as ppl make the season out to be.

it got too overhyped and too much expectation set on it that it flopping was pretty much guaranteed

[analog widget]

I don't think horror 2.0 will be bad we can assume the devs will be really careful when reworking the hunting and event system bc they know they cannot mess it up

[lime holly]

it may not be bad but with too much expectation on it and other updates to fix current issues when thats prolly not gonna happen

[buoyant tartan]

I will give credit to the actual ending, I think it was good, but how they got there is in my opinion indefensible because they absolutely butchered the villain they've been setting up for nearly a decade

[lime holly]

disappointment is looking to be inevitable

[wintry forge]

Bear with me as this is lengthy:

Phasmophobia: Ghost Memory Guardrails

1. Ghost Archetypes and Memory Potential

Demon: Aggressive, hunts early. Remembers hiding spots and panic moments, increasing hunting efficiency slightly. Guardrails: cap hunt probability per session; maintain cooldowns; no instant kills.

Revenant: Extremely fast when hunting, triggered by line-of-sight. Tracks player separation and distance patterns. Guardrails: limit speed and trackable range; maintain predictable cooldowns.

Shade: Hard to detect, hunts less if multiple players are together. Remembers player clustering tendencies. Guardrails: ensure minimum hunt probability; no perfect evasion.

Spirit: Slower, communicative, reacts to interactions. Tracks Spirit Box use or smudging. Guardrails: limit aggression; hunts triggered after observation.

Poltergeist: Interacts with objects, playful but escalates. Tracks frequently used rooms and adjusts object manipulation. Guardrails: limit number of objects manipulated; no lethal traps.

[analog widget]

I also trust them because when they did chronicled for the most part the reworked media system is good it just has its flaws

[buoyant tartan]

Looks like I have alot to catch up on ;-;

[wintry forge]

I've been rambling apologies

[wise oyster]

this is just wishcasting

[wintry forge]

Pretty much

[buoyant tartan]

Wait they added a new map?

Nell's Diner

[wintry forge]

Dude it's dope

[atomic leaf]

yeah it came out in november

[lime holly]

it was bound to happen

they set him up way too powerful and v2 was just too slow so v3 had to wrap up everything in 2 hours. i knew before it came out that something would feel rushed

[buoyant tartan]

Yeah like there's no way the kids should've stood a chance against the Mind Flayer with how they set it up so I understand it's hard to come up with a way to defeat it but the way they did was just extremely lazy and rushed imo

[analog widget]

honestly that is their biggest problem its the fact that while most of the updates they released in 2025 were pretty good each update had flaws that still haven't been fixed which tells us 2 things 1: they are trying to get things out as fast as possible, 2: When they release unity 6 they do all the bug fixes and adjustments then.

[wise oyster]

I support all of this to the extent it can be done mostly within the existing core system. So you can't do stuff like making Shade "hard to detect" if that means it won't step in salt or go through motion sensors. Now maybe you tweak the existing systems so Shade doesn't walk/walks less if someone is in the same room, something along those lines.

[lime holly]

anyways we should prolly go to #general-chat to continue 😂

[buoyant tartan]

o yeah true

[wintry forge]

That's the idea. But give it memory lol. Let it remember for a time what players do

[wintry forge]

Should I go to gen chat?

[lime holly]

nah ur ideas relate to the game and ghosts

general chat is for off topic things

[atomic leaf]

genuinely wish they would just open up feedback and listen to what the community thinks of all the recent updates and what needs to be adjusted

[wintry forge]

Probably not happening unless there's a petition tbh

[wise oyster]

We can only see what they do with Horror 2.0. I dig how it would add more real fear to the game and more immersion, but I'd be surprised if they go for anything that sophisticated. But I've also been surprised before.

[lime holly]

yeah theres way too much expectation on the unity update to fix bugs, character customization to add needed things, and horror 2.0 etc…

[atomic leaf]

sad part is that they used to do it all the time but now they just don’t do it anymore

[wintry forge]

Fair enough. Btw, dig the status. Off topic I know.

[analog widget]

Well imo it would just be a good update to it in

I won't complain if the adjustments and bug fixes in the tw and character update

[atomic leaf]

I wonder when the next dev stream is

I wanna ask if they have plans to rework broken breaker jinn 💀

[analog widget]

I forgot about those

[wintry forge]

I'm excited

[analog widget]

It would be nice if they did an Q&A but instead of it being with some gaming interview channel its with the community

[wintry forge]

This'll be cool to be involved in

[analog widget]

I wanna ask them if they ever plan to rework Cww

[atomic leaf]

we can just burn the place down with point hope

[analog widget]

The only thing that is stopping Ph from being a banger map is the lack of a fast way to get to the upper floors

[atomic leaf]

they need to fix the event bug on medium/large maps

[analog widget]

that too

[atomic leaf]

the fact there is 3 rooms where you can’t get evented is crazy

[analog widget]

like Ph is actually a pretty good map if you don't get a high floor problem is you have like a 25% of getting a high floor and it is annoying

High floors were my number 1 enemy in doing the Lighthouse Leg Day monthly

[atomic leaf]

some rooms are also basically impossible to test specific ghosts like yurei in kitchen or mare on top floor

[analog widget]

ye its why I hope that one day they do a rework for Ph

[vast crown]

i don't think theyd rework it considering it's already a custom map

[rancid ivy]

I think Point Hope could benefit from having a dummy waiter installed for at least the bottom floors. Makes the top floor ghosts a bit more bearable.

[vast crown]

yes cram yourself in and go go go

doesn't work during hunts

[lime holly]

honestly in those situations id be okay with allowing redos for those “get x wins in a row” challenges

[atomic leaf]

same honestly

[lime holly]

when the best strategy becomes waiting for the ghost room to change to do anything

Thats when it should be allowed to reroll for better room

over waiting hours for a chance

only problem is you dont want to add to much flexibility or else it takes away from the difficulty of the challenge

[atomic leaf]

even just playing no evidence in general there is no reason a ghost should be impossible to figure out purely because of the room it spawned in

[lime holly]

yeah

[acoustic valley]

tell me why…i took a video of a ghost…a FULL video of the ghost and was labeled “ghost” and it was a phantom….HOW

[atomic leaf]

?

[acoustic valley]

literally just happened to me

[atomic leaf]

I don't see the issue

[acoustic valley]

phantoms wont appear in ghost videos or photos

but yet i got one

[atomic leaf]

did it disappear after taking the video?

[acoustic valley]

nope

[lime holly]

weird someone told me this happened to them earlier too.

second time today i heard someone say taking a video of phantom did not make it disappear

[vernal stump]

anyone having issues with videos of motion sensed and way to fast sanity drains?

[atomic leaf]

Ig it could be bugged I haven't taken a video of a phantom recently

[lime holly]

same

[last drift]

Is it supposed to disappear after the video? I thought that was photos

[acoustic valley]

me and my friend were shook like

[acoustic valley]

it’ll disappear after both photos and videos

[atomic leaf]

its both

[odd vale]

If you guys come across that then you know what to do.

[viral elk]

Does anyone have space for 1 😊 I've owned the game since about a month after release but I stopped playing for a few years, I've only played about twice since recorded evidence update so I'm a little rusty

[manic hill]

Random, anyone else having problems with microphone and hearing others? I'm going to take it to the bug report thing but I was just wondering

[vast crown]

when mare is in the tanglewood basement and won't come out

[vast crown]

it's been an issue for ages but i've rarely experienced it. might be hardware/driver related problem

or at the very least, vivox just sucks

[wise oyster]

There's a section in #1413597137815470110

[vast crown]

i still think they should swap to discord social sdk and use some post-processing system for the proximity chat part

[manic hill]

I've basically tried everything so I logged off and see if it works tomorrow

But thank you for the help!!

[vast crown]

did you try blocking/unblocking the people you couldn't talk to?

[manic hill]

Yep!

[lavish geode]

pc/console?

[manic hill]

PC

[lavish geode]

check windows sound settings to confirm input output devices (headset?) is correct?

also, in-game menus

[manic hill]

Yep, everything seemed normal and correct

[lavish geode]

any other sounds ? game sounds?

[manic hill]

I heard game sounds

[vast crown]

every time my pc reboots it swaps the microphone i have selected in game and i gotta remember to swap it back lol

probs just using my system default, which also changes when i reboot, its so annoying

[lavish geode]

sometimes my inputs switch or don't work in game if I connect them after starting Steam or the game

[vast crown]

steelseries software just HAS to put a billion virtual devices in

[manic hill]

Yea, I check my inputs and outputs

I'm just going to deal with it tomorrow 💔

[lavish geode]

ok, good night

[manic hill]

I'm too tired for it tonight 😭

[vast crown]

lol

[manic hill]

Goodnight!

[vast crown]

last thing i can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall the drivers (later)

[lavish geode]

unplug and plug back in, eh?

[vast crown]

someone in russia who has to play behind vpn said swapping to asio drivers solved it for them but we aren't sure if the vpn has anything to do with it or not and nobody else so far has tried it to confirm without VPN in a country where it isn't needed

i have asio drivers on my system but i am not using them for anything but my interface so i doubt this is why i don't have these voice chat problems

[manic hill]

I'm in America (Chicago timezone), it usually is never like this but at times it gets glitchy

Probably just due to my rural area

[vast crown]

same timezone lol

i guess it's possible but i think vivox is the root problem

[faint rampart]

if i play on ps5 can i connect my kbm and play or does it not work?

[vast crown]

i bet in your player log it shows a vivox failure of some sort

[vast crown]

they're working on supporting it but not yet

-trello

[prime elk]

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.

[faint rampart]

damn okay

[wise oyster]

they're thinking about working on it

[vast crown]

it seems to be a lower priority rn, it's still in concept phase (figuring out how they'd do it)

[wise oyster]

I'm sure it's a known process

[manic hill]

Maybe, I'll try again tomorrow. (We ignore how early I'm going to bed 💔)

[faint rampart]

yall be so deadass too, is this game scary

[vast crown]

yeah i'm sure it's gonna be some dummy simple api to integrate and bam, console mkb support

[vast crown]

i see it as more of a puzzle game now

[faint rampart]

yeah

yall play fears to fathom before? is that any good/scary

[wise oyster]

I think a big part of that is that you play this way more than other horror games, too. any game isn't gonna scare you a couple hundreds hours in

[vast crown]

yeah i don't really play horror games lol

[wise oyster]

but at its core it definitely is a puzzle game

[faint rampart]

fun though?

[wise oyster]

oh very fun

[faint rampart]

like will i get bored in a day or 2

[wise oyster]

tons to learn, great core design, notably different ghost types

if you get bored in a day or 2 it's not a game for you. There's always stuff to learn about the game

[faint rampart]

yeah

[vast crown]

yeah i would have stopped playing a long time ago had i not found the no evidence weekly challenge lol

[wise oyster]

the weekly?

[vast crown]

yeah the old one on grafton

[wise oyster]

that's what got you into 0ev?

[vast crown]

yup

[wise oyster]

that's awesome

and now you're way higher than I am

[vast crown]

3 weeks give or take playing professional and then i saw the weekly and was like "....huh?"

[wise oyster]

i'm at 1400

[vast crown]

you'll probs zoom past me

i'm barely playing anymore

[wise oyster]

nah I don't play enough

[vast crown]

even then lol

[wise oyster]

I'll be back in a couple weeks, then play a couple, then take another break until the update, something like that

[vast crown]

yeah that's what its turning into for me

i get satisfaction from seeing the number go uppies but going for perfect isn't fun anymore lol

[wise oyster]

If they added more achievements, I could easily get my buddy to come back

[vast crown]

the guy who originally pulled me into the game will not be coming back lol

[lime holly]

when i first hit p20 i had thought i had completed the game too.

Knew what all the ghosts do,had all achievements, and max prestige…

Then i found nukadave, meik, justly leona etc

and then found myself doing a bunch of 14x and 15x perfect game challenges

[wise oyster]

I knew I had lots more game to play when I got P20; I did it in 40 days after Ascension

[vast crown]

my playstyle is "quick and repetitive"

[vast crown]

yeah same here something like that, month and a half maybe

[wise oyster]

yup

[vast crown]

that nighttime 6 hour 12.97x squad grind

[wise oyster]

it was fun for about 16 prestiges lol

[vast crown]

lol

i hads found a pretty consistent crew to grind it out with, same availability, it was nice

[wise oyster]

let's just say I played a LOT of 2ev games for the next several months

I did over half of mine solo

[vast crown]

damn lol

[lime holly]

u might be better at nightmare mode than i am lol

i barely play nightmare

[vast crown]

we all chose our role so we had one person who immediately starts looking for bone, one truck princess for raiju and myling, and 2 inside working on ghost and objectives and salt photos

[wise oyster]

well that was late 2023-mid 2024. By the time Point Hope came out, I was back to a lot of 0ev. But I did also play a lot of 2ev on PH to get to know the map.

[vast crown]

anything more than 0 sanity feels like i'm just standing there waiting for something to happen lol

[lime holly]

True

[wise oyster]

yeah a little, it's a much slower game

[lime holly]

U should try the eternal nightmare challenge

[wise oyster]

but you can easily get that way in 0ev too if you're down to a few crappy ghosts

[lime holly]

100 solo nightmare perfect games in a row on random map

[wise oyster]

no

maybe 10

[vast crown]

however, i have actually found 1:1 teaching noobs on intermediate/professional to be actually pretty decent, gives enough time to explain things while not being so drawn out that we have to wait for the cool stuff to happen

[lime holly]

10 went by pretty quick for me. Even with brownstone and sunny meadows being half my maps picked

[wise oyster]

yeah see I'm not doing perfects on brownstone

[vast crown]

brownhigh stoolschool skippies

[lime holly]

It u could always adjust the challenge so that its small maps only

or maps of your choice

[wise oyster]

"no high school"

I'll even do Prison

[lime holly]

😭

[wise oyster]

But Nightmare means you also have pills

it should be all T2 since that's what you have around that level

[lime holly]

hmm

i didnt use that rule

but i suppose u could go with it

[lavish gazelle]

im trying to do a bronze run right now and i cant figure out the ghost for the life of me im so confused

[blazing sparrow]

what ghosts can only be female

[vast crown]

banshee and dayan

[lavish gazelle]

its my first apocalypse run and ive got a little practice with guessing the ghost types without evidence but im jsut not sure with this one it seems slow and sped up with line of sight

[vast crown]

can you record a clip of the ghost's speed without line of sight? hearing base speed is most important

[lavish gazelle]

ive got the it measured at 1.20m/s using the cheat sheet website

[blazing sparrow]

what’s the easiest way to find the ghost room with tier 1 tools

[lavish gazelle]

or 114 bpm

[vast crown]

114 that's 1.7 not 1.2, maybe you have the cheat sheet set to 150% ghost speed?

[lavish gazelle]

i do im on insanity

is that not 150%

[vast crown]

yeah insanity is 100% ghost speed

[lavish gazelle]

oh

[vast crown]

or are you using the apoc 2 preset?

or apoc 1

[lavish gazelle]

no just apoc 1

just insanity on sunny meadows

[vast crown]

like the actual insanity preset

[lavish gazelle]

yeah

[vast crown]

ok yeah that's 100%

so it's a normal speed ghostie

[lavish gazelle]

okay cool

so normal speed and sped up on line of sight

[blazing sparrow]

how do you get a cheat sheet

[vast crown]

i suggest bringing at least one crucifix, a firelight, and a motion sensor to the ghost room to begin testing

[lavish gazelle]

look it up

[vast crown]

it's a website

google "phasmophobia unofficial cheat sheet"

there's links in here too

[lavish gazelle]

i dont have any sanity meds 😭 shit hunts so fast

[spice rover]

Just search "phasmophobia cheat sheet"

[vast crown]

pull it up on a second monitor or on a phone/tablet while you play

[blazing sparrow]

ok

[vast crown]

or use the overlay you can download from it if you only have one monitor on your pc (overlay is pc only)

has keybinds for smudge timer and everything

[wise oyster]

Did someone say Cheat Sheet???

[spice rover]

Wait really??

[lavish gazelle]

hunts every 30 seconds so i dont think its demon fairly certain

and my smudge timer was 2:20

[vast crown]

yup, find the "links" tab on the left sidebar and the download is at the bottom

ZN Desktop Link

[spice rover]

It's safe right??

[vast crown]

it connects to the cheat sheet too

yes it is created by the cheat sheet creator, they have a full team of people too

[wise oyster]

(but it's mostly Zero)

[vast crown]

yeah lol zero built the whole thing

[wise oyster]

The backend is so complex

[vast crown]

team of people constantly testing stuff and restesting looking for changes in behavior with each update

scientific method 🙂

i bet if they put their minds to it they could figure out FTL

[wise oyster]

it does not interact with the game or the game files in any way and abides by the game's EULA.

it's just a way to be able to set up hotkeys to control an overlay that connects back to the cheat sheet

[lavish gazelle]

i have crusifix and candle

i just dont have a motion sensor for some reason

[vast crown]

overlays are allowed and you can scan it through virus total to check it. there may be false positives, i know my overlay had a good few lol

yeah virustotal scan comes back clean

[lavish gazelle]

okay so i placed the candle next to the crusifix and it blew out the candle then i picked it up and it used the crusifix about 10 seocnds later

[vast crown]

if it blows out the candle, light it back up immediately

[spice rover]

Onryo should hunt immediately after blowing out the third candle

[vast crown]

onryo won't be able to burn the crucifix while the candle's lit, if the candle is right on top of the crucifix

[lavish gazelle]

i only had 1 candle

okay well i relit the candle and placed it in the same spot and then it used the crusifix so i dont think its onryo

[vast crown]

cool, were you inside the room with the ghost when it burned the crucifix or when it blew out the firelight originally?

[lavish gazelle]

yes

[vast crown]

then you can cross off shade too

[lavish gazelle]

so not a shade

[vast crown]

smudge it and give yourself a minute and a half timer

just run around with a lit smudge i guess

[lavish gazelle]

my smudge timer before it hunted was 2:20

[vast crown]

we just want to prevent it from hunting for another minute and a half to give time to watch for yurei touches

and to do mare testing

[lavish gazelle]

ah okay

[vast crown]

turn the light switch on, then wait at least 10 seconds, and turn it back off, and wait at least 10 seconds, and repeat ...

[lavish gazelle]

im dead.

[vast crown]

ahh fuck lol

that's okay next ghost

[lavish gazelle]

it spawned in my room after never going in there once

no where near its ghost room

[vast crown]

oh what was it?

[lavish gazelle]

and it was a goryo

[vast crown]

lmaooooo

[lavish gazelle]

impossible no evidence tell like come on

[vast crown]

ghost evented right next to you then

[lavish gazelle]

yep sure did

and then hunted me immediately

[vast crown]

motion sensors will help with them, they can only do short range roams and cant change rooms, so you can just setup a path of motion sensors and keep an eye on how far it goes out before it goes back to the ghost room

[neat plume]

can someone explain to me how a mare hunted me 1:03 after being smudged????

[zinc coyote]

Hes cool like that

[brave plinth]

how do I report a bug

[zinc coyote]

#bug-reports

[blazing sparrow]

how do you smudge a ghost

[slim fjord]

Me Jordan Robinson

[brave plinth]

what do you mean

[slim fjord]

Pc game friends

[blazing sparrow]

how does a ghost get smudged

[brave plinth]

use incense when you're near it

[blazing sparrow]

oh ok

[slim fjord]

Oh ok ✅

[rancid ivy]

Cries in T3 crucifix

[rancid ivy]

You light incense when it's near the ghost. When it isn't hunting, it increases activity and will stop most of them from hunting at all for up to 90 seconds*. If you smudge the ghost during a hunt, it blinds them for a few seconds and makes them unable to kill you for that duration.

*Note: When you smudge a ghost during a hunt, the 90s cooldown immediately ticks down even while the ghost is still hunting. If you're ever doing a time test with smudges, start the timer the moment you smudge the ghost.

[spice rover]

Damn I didn't know that we can increase its activity by smudging it when it isn't hunting

[rancid ivy]

I sometimes forget about it since I usually just use it for the anti-hunt perk.

[glacial musk]

how tf do yall get hunting ghost photos

[zinc coyote]

Good timing

[glacial musk]

like take it when its not there or there

[zinc coyote]

As soon as you see it, gotta be quick tho
Its tricky if youre not host due to latency

[neat plume]

if my cursed object doesnt give me a free photo and I havent gotten one by the time im done I just dip lol

[wise oyster]

Like this one?

[glacial musk]

HOWWW

[glacial musk]

oh true i have 300ms so

[wise oyster]

Justly things

[slim fjord]

New New Year

[merry rune]

Hello! Has anyone else had issues with ghost not acting themselves? Tonight I had 2 Onryos back to back, first one lit a candle on Ridgeview and second one hunted right on top of a firelight in basement of tanglewood, I had two firelights down there, one in the back of basement and one in the front by rocking chair 🙃

[stark dove]

what was your cursed possession in the first game?

2nd onryo just hunted outside the ranges of the firelights

[merry rune]

Was insanity no cursed item, and the cursed item would not light a candle, and i two firelights down in the basement to cover it

[merry rune]

It literally spawned on top of the firelight

[stark dove]

you or someone else lit the candle and voodoo doll can force an onryo to light a candle or fireplace that's why I asked.

[stark dove]

do you have a clip? if yes send it to bug reports

[merry rune]

No one lit the candle 🤣 I have it on my vod. I’m going to send to bug report

I was losing my mind that game, spent so long trying to figure out the ghost cause I ruled out Onryo from the fire light 🙃

[stark dove]

alr hope it gets sorted out

[merry rune]

Thanks!

[lapis trail]

Can anyone tell me if a shade can do a singing event at all, im on tiktok and this person is saying their friend left team of this game or smth and they apperantly said "Shade Can do singing events"

[stark dove]

shades cannot do singing events

[wise oyster]

They can do the one chase event that has some vocalization to it, but no they cannot do "singing events" where the ghost stands still and hums/sings

[lapis trail]

Thank you cause some person named Battlepast and some tightpant something is saying it can according to smoe "kg chat" thingie

[wise oyster]

I'd wanna see that source. Current testing and experience says they can't, and no one I know of has produced an example of it happening.

not that I know everything

[lapis trail]

Its starting to really piss me off, but i aint lashing out them but i hate when people spread fake stuff on the internet especially in a game i play cause it gets annoying, i had someone say that banshees teleport acroding to this 100k follower guy on tiktok.

[stark dove]

😭

[wise oyster]

yeah idk anything about tiktok, seems crazy over there

[cinder pebble]

all my badges are gone

[lapis trail]

What didd you do

[cinder pebble]

i loaded up phasmo 😭 that was it. i didnt do the christmas event and i come back to all of them gone

[stark dove]

you can dm @violet nova about it

[wise oyster]

load into a contract and leave through the van. Sometimes that resets stuff

-badge

hmm nope

[stark dove]

[cinder pebble]

i just verified the integrity of the files reloaded it like 5 times and loaded into a singleplayer game. i got them back. o7 thank you for support and being compassionate lol

[modern dragon]

I did the money bags trophy but I didn't receive the id card so I loaded up another game. After completing it I got the card, I guess it's always good to double check by playing 1..

[barren ingot]

Is there a key for the downstairs closet in bleasdale?

[modern dragon]

Glad you got them back and was simple enough

[weary venture]

Hi

[stark dove]

nope thats a hiding spot

[barren ingot]

But it’s always locked

[weary venture]

I’m new to phasmophobia

Can u help me play and get money

[stark dove]

turn hiding to very high, youll see its unlocked

[stark dove]

[zinc coyote]

[woeful wren]

can you tell what ghost it is by the footsteps?

[round oasis]

the ghost is hunting me

what do I do?

[woeful wren]

box it up

[round oasis]

huh?

[stark dove]

you can with certain ghosts

[woeful wren]

mike tyson his ass

[woeful wren]

are you like a pro

[stark dove]

idk whats really considered a pro in phas

but im a high skilled and leveled player so maybe?

[worthy mountain]

me

[stark dove]

[woeful wren]

damn bro, congrats. im like level 30 no prestiges 😭

[worthy mountain]

I would say that lvl and prestige mean nothing (unless its legit >2 k lvl)
There’s a thousand XX-1000 players that know or play like prestige 5-10
I’m still on XX-1800, but I can confidently say that I know a lot about the game, and I use it in games. I even sometimes explain smth to players who are level 3k and above

I would say knowledge and style of playing mean more than just a lvl

[stark dove]

i like that explanation 💯

[honest niche]

js depends if your tryna sweat no evidence runs or you play with friends casually

[modern mauve]

It doesn't mean nothing, but that kind of level means there's a high chance you know how to play the game well. And none of this matters if your attitude stinks or not having fun with the game

[worthy mountain]

Now I’m more interested in game mechanics and I’m testing a lot, but still play no evids and even nighmares/insanities sometimes

And yea, I agree, the level may only indicate that you've played a lot of games that likely have a high multiplier, but it doesn't always mean that ghosts were identified by your skill in those games. I mean there are still a lot of active lvl boosters and cheaters in the game

[lime holly]

This. Very much this

[subtle arch]

When is tanglewood getting its rework done?? Asking for a friend

[bronze lantern]

Q1 2026

No later than March

[subtle arch]

Ok thank you

[lime holly]

id probably say

When you understand the game’s mechanics and be able to apply them ingame to make strategies to win games

cause its one thing to know what every ghost’s tells are and another to know how to test and see it ingame

and then also being familiar with wide range of difficulties and maps

[modern mauve]

Playing harder difficulties is probably the best teacher, you yourself can get a feel with what works and what doesn't

[zinc coyote]

Real pros play training

[bronze lantern]

Pro playing Amateur

So bored that the ghost won’t hunt

[modern dragon]

Is it bad if I have mainly played on custom pro and nightmare. But I'm going to try go for the apoc 3 trophy 15x.

I do understand some of the ghosts unique behaviours

And weekly done, got 2 of them by myself with friends.

[zinc coyote]

No

Play what youre most comfortable/ have the most fun with

Higher diffs help you learn more but really just play what you want

[modern dragon]

I'm fine with pro/nightmare, but I need to do apoc 3 for completionist

[zinc coyote]

Main thing thatll help with that is learning traits and speeds

And not dying while on 50% speed lol

[modern dragon]

Yeah not dying is going to be the hard part, I know some traits

[zinc coyote]

Playing with the ghost on 150% speed is a whole different ballpark too

[modern dragon]

Yeah I'm hoping I get lucky or something

[zinc coyote]

Getting a good ghost + objectives + a nice spot makes it easy if you strategize and stay calm

Be like me, get a deo in the chapel 😅

[modern dragon]

I can stay calm if I have a plan like smudge then hiding spot I've sussed out

[zinc coyote]

If you can get it near the chapel, you can hide behind the piano

[modern dragon]

Yeah I need to learn the strat, I think it's pretty much go chapel innit

[zinc coyote]

Other spots are good too, thats just what worked for me

[modern dragon]

I'll keep it in mind, I've not played much sunny meadows

Might do my first attempt today, if not tomorrow

So if it's 150 ghost speed does that mean faster ghosts are like 150++

[eternal iris]

phasmophobia

[zinc coyote]

iirc its the speed x 150%

Goes for all speeds

[modern dragon]

I see

Well on a weekly challenge I did work out a Hantu because it was fast and snowing. Unfortunately I did not survive, but the beauty of weeklies is that it counts

[cosmic belfry]

Guessed a Thaye using Ouija board fgm

[glacial musk]

Why does game not hear me

Ouji board and spirit box don't register

Nice thank you

[lost hatch]

or just stand in the dark

[spice rover]

Thanks for the overlay idea dude. Its helping me out alot

[spice rover]

It's either the input device issue or the accent

[worn glade]

Mare can light candles, right? that doesn't count as a light-source

[zinc coyote]

They can

Onryos cant light candles

[elder brook]

which gfhost was more visible during huint? oni or phantom

[zinc coyote]

Oni

[elder brook]

where is quija on edge field

[boreal plinth]

In the utility room connected to the kitchen

[slate sinew]

My game crashes every time I get back into the lobby after a match??

[elder brook]

is 100% ghost speed normal or its faster?

[cobalt matrix]

normal

[elder brook]

bro i hate dayan theyre so hard i mistook it for rev

when does spirit hunt 3 min or 2 min?

[stark dove]

spirit smudge is 3m

[elder brook]

is myling a slow ghost?

i got a ghost im on no evi, and its slow, like i can easily loop with los

[stark dove]

myling moves at the standard 1.7m/s

[elder brook]

whats a really slow ghost even with los

it only sped up when its almost done hunting and even that was rlly slow compared to normal

[river burrow]

Hantu maybe? In warm rooms it is slower and doesn't have LOS speedup if I remember correctly.

[worthy agate]

Are dots photos still bugged out?

[stark dove]

yup, try to only use only one dots projector when going for photos

it should help

[south violet]

How do I escape from a ghost during a Hunt without incense? If I enter a room without any electronics, will the ghost find me?

[coarse comet]

You can always close the door and pray that the ghost wont walk in

[south violet]

What are the chances that it won't come on the smallest map?

[coarse comet]

Do you have hiding spots on?

[south violet]

Ye but don't want

[worn hawk]

Sometimes the hunt pattern is stupid.... I've watched the ghost come up the stairs from the basement in Tanglewood, barely walk into the kitchen, only to turn around and go back into the basement. Repeats until it despawns... so you always have a chance of surviving....

[stark dove]

youre right, we should give every ghost deos wall hacks

[south violet]

Yesterday I had a situation where I ran away with incense and the ghost came to me but just stood there

What should I do if I enter Phasmophobia and only see the cursor and a black screen? I can walk normally because I can hear movement but I can't see anything, only a black screen and a cursor.

[rancid ivy]

Does your journal show up when you open it?

[south violet]

Lemme see

👍
