This is an in-depth item guide for Phasmophobia.
I’ll be happy if this video helps even a handful of players in understanding items better.

Very helpful!!!
I don't think you need to be in a 5 meter radius for a photo to count. I once were trying to take a photo of the ghost while being hunted. I sadly didn't get the ghost as it was dissapearing right when I took the photo so I ended up with just a photo of a long hallway. Luckily though there was an open door at the end of the hallway where you could see into the bathroom and the photo actually counted as "bone" evidence since they were lying infront of the toilet as I found out later. The bones were easily 15-20m from me when I took the photo.
As far as I know the lighter doesn't need to be on while in your inventory, I could still light smudge sticks and candles while it was off
So helpful!!
This video needs more views imo.
Thanks for this guide. Lots of useful information. I have often held still with the light off while wearing the head mounted camera if I was unsure if I had placed camera's in the haunted room. I love the options this game gives you, and the usefulness of communication. If you are the Van guy or girl, you are important! You are keeping me alive lol.
I actually loved this guide. As a programmer and engineer, I loved the very technical and in-depth explanations of how things worked and their functionality. Knowing things like the range and mechanics of certain items and gameplay elements is always helpful!
For example, my friends were bringing the parabolic mic with them to small houses, smudging and dropping the stick while it's still burning, putting the sensors too high, leaving lights on while trying to spirit box, and even trying to use the crucifix to STOP a hunt rather than prevent them.
Thanks and kudos for the guide!
Subbed!
this is what I'm looking for. thanks for the great guide bro.

Can you make a Phasmophobia Ghost types (Overexplained) video?
You shouldn't need to use push to talk for the spirit box. I've never used push to talk for it and I always manage to proc it.
Awesome, man. This helped me create a really nice cheat-sheet.
Thank You And Your Voice is Perfect For Explaining things to!
Sometimes the ghost dont care about the crucifix or the smudge sticks i tested some ghosts it works on others well except oni,jinn,wraith(well sometimes),and lastly demon.But sometimes it maybe a bug.Also using salt can be useful against some ghosts to find fingerprints well except wraith since they can fly! Also most sensors are not always good beacuase some ghosts technically avoid them!
Thank u so much for this guide. Even though I'm already lvl 200, you still taught me something new <3
This guide is awesome!
I loved using the salt haha but I wasn't aware of the extras that happen with it.
I will note that the head mounted camera is great for my coward friends. They like to watch from the van if thier sanity is low and look for orbs. Instead using a video camera
Awesome video man. Thanks for doing this.
Really useful, thank you for this.
this was a nice detailed overview. thanks for all the info.
But I wanted to add ideas regarding the less useful items:
– Infrared Light Sensor -> I noticed 2 uses. 1) placing it near a spot that you are using to hide during a hunt will signal you, that the ghost is right outside that spot, if there are gaps within the door, so that you will see the light (e.g. for wardrobes). 2) on large maps, you can use them infront of cameras to narrow down areas with movement if you already exceeded the amount of regular motion sensors.
– Head Mounted Camera -> if you are in the van, you will be able to follow your team mates to see what is going on during a hunt, when the radio is cut off. I had that the other day, when my team mates did not respond anymore, but I saw them running into a wardrobe via their head camera. They were target of a hunt in that moment. For some reason, the main door was still open though. But due to the onging hunt, I knew that I will definitely not go in.
Thank you, great guide!
Very helpful! Thank you bro
This guide is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much. Love it that you give the exact numbers on ranges and radius. I listened to it during work and can't wait to play later.
I only clicked on this because you titled it as overexplained
i subbed not because i need this guide because its almost a fucking hour long holy shit
Another good use for the infrared light sensor would be for larger rooms, like the farmhouse attic. Put them in the corners to get a decent idea of where the ghost is in the room.
9:12 Manifest is when the ghost appers but not hunt so it is not a problem, you actually want a manifest for the challenge: experience a ghost event. For a photo it is good too.
The Flashlight just flickers when the ghost is hunting dont talk bs
The lighter does not need to be on when in your hand, it will work also when its not on. (When you press F)
So idk why but I bought a couple items but when I used them and won they dissapered is this normal?
so how accurate is this still?
