10:30 let’s say if you’re on a large map and you ask Where are you?, will the ghost on the other side of the map react to your prompt or is there a range to it listening to your local chat?
Why is Therese Voerman in your thumbnail? O:
In first (edit: the only) investigation, how come every single time LIVING ROOM lights up, you assume it is actually in the dining room or the kitchen?
Did it’s room actually move, or was it literally just in the living room the entire time and occasionally following you around?
This probably saved my virtual life!
Now if I could just find people to hint with.
25:00 Jinn… It's always a Jinn 😉
Edit But of course the ghost later wasn't a Jinn lol
Very thorough. Been thoroughly enjoying all your Phas videos Dusk, I hope to meet you in the public lobbies sometime.
Honest addition. This is the only Phas channel I like.
Oh dude, the last one was so good. I guarantee this one is going to be absolutely fantastic.
As much as I love the update, the ghost changing rooms can get annoying. Thankfully they’re gonna adjust it so they don’t change as often and add a cool down to it changing rooms.
Awesome! Gonna get some coffee and jummies and enjoy this vid 👻
Awesome video, please can you do some nightmare solo runs on youtube videos, even if its just uploaded from twitch, i love watching your runs 🙂
You used Voreman in the thumbnail! Have you thought of playing any of the Campire games on your channel?
more of these long investigations! Super fun to watch!
These guides are so thorough, and yet laymen understandable. Ty for these!
Dusk! It's great to have you back in the Phasmophobia-mosphere! Thanks for the guide. I like the new ghosts for the most part but I feel like the newer ghosts are kinda same-y and not quite as distinguishable as the ones we started with… they don't really surprise me as much as they used to tbh. How do you feel about the gameplay update about a month or so ago? Very scary to me initially but really I miss old Phas that built up the mystery and you didn't know when or where the ghost was going to strike next. Now I expect it in every room which makes the "jumpscares" predictable.
They could probably just make sanity tied to some kind of hallucinations for nightmare, and just make them very rare in easier difficulties. They would become more vibrant the less sanity the player has. Just a random early morning idea, and an entirely new mechanic that would be more hassle to add then just fixing the smaller problem.
Raiju are also kind of an early hunter, as they can hunt from 65% when there is electrical equipment nearby (when they are on that is)
I'd love to see a ghost that hunts immediately after a certain spirit box answer. Like a trigger phrase it maybe doesn't answer every time. Similar to the way the new ghost effects the candle.
Actually, the twins are two ghosts. There's the main ghost who is capable of everything you'd expect and then there's a kind of decoy twin who can wander as far as it wants and interact with things but will not give any evidence. When either of them hunt you only see one body because the main ghost is the only one that ever does the hunting. If the twin gets angry and initiates a hunt the main ghost will teleport to the decoy's location and start the hunt from that point, leading to scary moments where you're running from the ghost room where you think it's starting and into the ghost because it was ahead of you. If they're in the same place, however, that's when you get seven different items thrown one after another because they're copying each other. There's also times where you are messing with the decoy instead of the real ghost so you won't ever get evidence.
A great idea for sanity tweaking is to give the player some sort of visual effect or illusions, so you don't have to rely on the meter in the truck while also boost spook levels
2 things:
1. You said you can get EMF off the activity chart in the truck, what does that look like? I never knew to look for that there.
2. You called the Yokai a streamer killer, can it hear talking if you're not pressing the push to talk buttons?
Can the ghost hear your comms inside if the person talking is in the van?
Only one evidence! this is insane man. GG
Man it must be hard making a guide for a game that’s constantly evolving. But I appreciate the people who do it.
I like your content overall but you are very quiet
I thought the hunt grace period was the time between when the hunt starts and when the ghost can start killing you
Great video even tho I found some small mistakes in your ghost discriptions
Just as a disclaimer: All the information that I'm sharing here is from the Dev-Interview with CJ on Insymn's stream:
Twins: There are actually 2 ghosts on the map. They cant hunt at the same time. There is one 'real' ghost and one 'fake' ghost. The 'fake' ghost wont leave any evidence. The twins do not have to be in the same room, they can be on complete opposite endings of the map (which is a dead giveaway for twins). They can be in the same room or area and interact with the same object at the same time however thats quite rare.
Raiju: They are not affected by electricity of the house (like lights, breaker, TVs, phones etc.). They can only gain their power from player equipment that can be turned on and off. In other words: If you drop a flashlight thats turned on during a hunt and the Raiju steps over it, it will get faster.
Can you make a video touching on hiding spots?
thanks for the videos man
Level 300 in this game, play pretty often, but I still love watching your guides! Even if I know most things I always end up learning something new. Also, respect for putting VtMB in the thumbnail 😀
I still declare the Twins as one ghost, I do not makes my guides from the perspective of the games engine and I will never talk about trigger boxes or code. Especially for an immersive horror game. Yes there is a second floating satellite trigger box but you will NEVER see a second ghost, and they clearly have to share the same body for Hunts.
I stand by my description of The Twins.
The Raiju I did miss the mark on.
It only reacts to player equipment, so house electricity and storms have no effect on this ghost….which is very disappointing. I am starting to wonder what the point of the random weather was if it's not going to effect the game.
The Raiju can also hunt at high sanity. Having player gear on near it is akin to talking near a Yokai
Also Missed the mark a tad on the Jinn,
It seem the Jinn now requires line of sight to use it's power. This might mean Raiju is the new deadliest ghost.
YouTube algorithm is being mean to your channel, but it's very good to see you still covering this game, man! Excited to watch this guide.
Respect to the Jeanette pic on your thumbnail. MALK 4 LIFE!
You're literally the only phasmophobia youtuber I ever watched, glad to see new content from you. Hope you do some nightmare candle-only crazy shenanigans
What do you mean fingerprints are no longer guaranteed? they dissapear after a bit or they just don't show anymore even if you get a fingerprint ghosts? BTW great video, as the first one!
Not a fan of Nightmare mode. Not because it's too hard for me or anything, but simply because I disagree with the decision to hide things like evidence and sanity. Simply denying you information is a very cheap and lazy method of making the game harder, and is akin to FPS games that simply increase enemy HP and call that "hard mode"
It's very lazy and only makes the game less fun by introducing guessing elements. Being forced to guess is never ever fun.
Nightmare mode would be alot more fun, is they just went with concept of chain kills during hunts, giving you less time to hide, changing the ghosts room more often and increasing the ghosts movement speed. That's all that was needed.
I've experienced the fake hunts is there a kind of tell for when it's fake vs real?
It's hard for my friends and I to tell unless we have someone near the door to check it's locked. (Since now unless you are close to the ghost lights and radio don't go crazy)
Nightmare Mode, when you let Sonoket load the van.
"Hey guys! I got a door!!!!" (reference back to your games of Ghost Hunter Corps with him and RBD.)
A tip for you Dusk and anyone else scouring the comments, the devs have apparently put in an evidence failsafe for ghosts that's a pretty decent system, but it can also be unreliable due to the behavior of the ghosts. If a ghost is in the same room for 30 seconds, I believe that's the time limit, then it will be forced to do DOTS, writing, or spirit box depending on if it's an evidence it has or not. The catch is most ghosts don't stay in a single room for that 30 seconds. But if you can some how trap a ghost in a single room for a bit, you can force certain evidence out of it. This is to insure that it can be found, but how you can manipulate the ghost into doing that is a whole different story.
First I wanted to thank you for an interesting guide but I also wanted to add some criticism. Don't get me wrong, you did awesome guide for new players, so thumbs up for that! Just I can't stand to hear things that are (in my opinion) wrong, well everybody have their flaws 🙂 Also I wanted to mention, that your first MEGA GUIDE have immensely kickstarted my knowledge of the game, I am forever thankful for that!
As far as I know Grace Period is not a period between hunts, but the short moment at the beginning of a Hunt during which ghost remains completely still and invisible (it can't kill you). Light flicker, door shut, but ghost do not move… yet. After Grace Period ends the Ghost starts moving, becomes visible (kind of) and can kill you.
Jinn (if I am correct) travels faster ONLY when he sees his victim, which (unfortunately) means he will not cover a lot of ground looking for players. While I do not have any proof to that myself, I watched 2 other streamers/youtubers who agree on that. I do not want to write their names without your consent here but one of them if very keen on testing things so I trust him about stuff like that.
Yurei I believe have a skill similar to a Jinn that lowers Investigators sanity, I do not know in what regards it is a different skill, but it is an active skill, not a passive one, again this is something that comes from other streamers/youtubers, but since they are asking a lot of questions devs directly I have no reason not to trust them.
Twins, now this comes directly from cjdxn (dev). Twins are actually 1 ghost with 2 bodies. The Main Twin is the true ghost. He is in a ghost room, he gives all the evidences etc. Second Twin is a "part time ghost". Second Twin may roam whole map, while his other half remains in its room. Last time you were hunted from the Basement? Guess what, now it comes from upper floor! Second Twin will never activate Motion Sensor, it will not respond to the Spirit Box and will not make Freezing temps, but it may still give away EMF 5. Also the Twins sometimes act simultaneously, which you can nicely see on Activity Monitor at not Nightmare difficulty. If you see frequent double spikes you can suspect Twins. Twins are actually quite a complex ghost 🙂
These were the things that struck me the most.
Please do not take it the wrong way, I wish you all the best and I am waiting for more Youtube videos from you! 🙂
"Goryo does not roam very far"
Little mongrel dropped a basketball across the other side of the school to where it was. Cheeky sod not following its own rules. Had us believing we had a Myling.
Oddly enough, I get shade a solid 40% of the time, and they're almost always active and aggressive as hell. I've been playing fairly frequently since launch
one reminder on spirit box
as a QoL thing, IF a player has a PC WITH NO MIC available for voice capture, the Spirit box can still be used by said player, as they just need to keep it active for some time and the ghost WILL interact with it if it's one of their evidences.
So post cursed possessions update now… Mega Guide 3.0? Lol
Don't know if it's still up to date, but wasn't there a change a while back, where if the guy in the van says sth like "it likes to play with electronics" etc, whatever ghost it is it will turn lights on and off, even though that was a signature move of Jinn (back then) ? Does the van-guy still say sth that changes the behaviour, because if so, wouldn't nightmare be almost always be impossible because of changed behaviour haha?
Mares can turn lights on, I've had it happen before. It's just rare that they do
I highly recommend using wemod trainer on this game for your next guide and play single player. The trainer can let you make the ghost always visible and tells you what type of ghost and where the ghost's favorite room is. This would be a good way of showing ghost behavior and you'd know what type of ghost you have at the beginning, which would make it much easier. It also features sanity lock, meaning you could be around the ghost for a considerable amount of time without being hunted if it's not a demon, mare, or banshee. However that is easily avoided since you can see the ghost at all times and use a crucifix near it. Just a suggestion in case you wanna make your next one super in-depth
