HOW TO USE MOTION/SOUND/INFRARED SENSORS – PHASMOPHOBIA

by



A video in which I explain how to get those pesky objectives done and also how to set up all the different sensors you can use in the game to monitor ghost activity. I’m kinda liking this youtube thing.

  12. Here's some info you might enjoy and even test and make a vid on. I got this info from some dude on reddit who looked at the game's code. Maybe don't read this if you want the mystery behind these mechanics spoiled lol. But I'm glad I know EXACTLY how the tools work now. https://github.com/azsry/phasmophobia_mechanics#doors

    EMF reader: The game spawns "emf spots" when things happen. Probably around 2-3m wide. These spots last 20 secs. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU'RE POINTING THE READER, your reader just has to enter an emf spot and you'll get beeps. If you're stood still and have a reading of 2 then turn and have a reading of 3, it's because by turning you've scooted the reader into whatever emf spot had the 3 (spots can overlap and you'll just get the higher reading).

    Info on the readings of EMF spots:
    – 2 means the ghost interacted with something there w/in 20 secs.
    – 3 means the ghost threw something there w/in 20 secs.
    – 4 means the ghost appeared there w/in 20 secs.
    – 5 is just used for evidence, nothing special. Probably takes the place of whatever the normal reading would be if its an EMF 5 ghost.

    Spirit Box: pretty sure just being in the room isn't enough, you actually have to be within like 3m of the ghost wherever it is. So walk around the room. Saying a phrase that is recognized by the game will cause the frequency to freeze then say "Nothing Detected." If you aren't seeing "Nothing Detected," you aren't saying a phrase that is playable within the game. Or your ghost just responded to you :). Also, the ghost won't respond if you've said its name "in isolation" recently. Not sure if asking the name + question counts, but just to be safe don't use the name because you don't need it to get a response, just have to be within 3m of the ghost.

    Writing Book: Doesn't have to be in the ghost's room. The ghost has an "interaction phase" where it will move items, flick lights, open doors, etc. One of the possible interactions is writing in the book. You can be just stepping through the front door and have instant writing, doesn't mean the ghost is near the front door. However, putting the book in the room is still adviseable because the ghost will mostly interact with things in it's room.

    Thermometer: Pretty sure it's like a lazer going out 6m. You can open doors and stand in the doorway. The value updates every 1-2 seconds. Ghosts will reduce temps to a min of 5°C, unless they're a "Freezing Temps" ghost. Also apparently the thermo's value is +-2°C from the actual value. So if you ever see a value below 3°C, you can tick off freezing temps in the journal.

    Parabolic Mic: as far as I remember it doesn't matter where you're pointing this one, either. It works like the EMF reader but instead of EMF spots it detects sound spots. The number you see is probably the sum of the strength of the sound spots within the range of the mic. Same with the EMF reader, if you're turning in-place and see the number updating, it means you're standing at the intersection of two or more sound spots. Think of the parabolic mic as an EMF reader but for sound.

    Sound sensors: Unlike the parabolic mic, they only provide data on the loudest sound source they detect. So if the bar is maxed, something loud as fuck just happened, not multiple sounds. The data in the truck updates every 5 secs.

    Smudge sticks: Have to be within 6m of the ghost for it to work. Can't just toss them into the ghost room if it's a big room. They stop the ghost from hunting for 90secs, 180secs if it's a Spirit.

    Ghost Orbs: Apparently only spawn in the ghost's room. You can see them if the camera is looking into the room. Maybe this means the orbs can still travel out into a hallway, but ONLY if the camera this is seen from has an angle looking inside of the ghost's room.

  21. Do I want a 20 minute video about how all this works that drags on way too long? No, I want these dope ass quick videos that give me a quick rundown! Good job and good luck, I can't wait to see more videos.

  28. sadoy the infrared cens9r is broken it 8s actually supposed to light up an area it detects motion but it does no such thing. Wish they would fix it but suppose no fix is in the works as it is the only advance item not included in objectives.

  30. This is gonna sound really random but this is a true story and I literally ordered it as I am typing but at 0:16 I literally got the biggest urge to buy vr idk why I guess I got turned on by the hand moving in game or something and I ordered myself a oculus quest 2 xD I've seen gameplay with ppl in vr and I was like cool, but seeing someones hand move made me go ;liehjf;oiewhjf;oewjf'w;ej xD so whoever that was in the video I'm down half a grand so thank you! xD Also actually really helpful video and was also entertaining keep up the good work! 😀

  38. i knew all of this and so does the rest.
    here is a nice tip tho. if ur friends are dead it can also trigger.
    if u play with randoms u can ask the randoms. stuff with simple yes and no answers.
    like did u notice emf5? 2 for yes 3 for no. and they can walk between the lines. to beep. i often do this with friends and randos.
    altho they can now pick up items and throw them. so i can ask what evidence we got? mark it with items like plates.
