I've only played solo. The idea of someone else standing in the dark with the music box for backgroud music while I have no idea… that scares me more than an Oni now. 😀
I play with only one other person usually. We have similar play styles, so we hardly ever get in each other's way. I feel like a scared newbie when I play solo though. 😁
I know it's not what Nuzz meant but it's funny to think of someone assuming this video says play around in Training mode for as long as you need and then go directly to Professional with no steps in between 😀
I gotta get back into playing this solo and maybe record myself doing that. I make public lobbies a lot and just play with other people, sometimes fooling around with cursed objects.
One question i have: Is there any way to practice hunt related objectives with little impact to my money? I always die to smudge mishaps or just dont do them at all so i was wondering if there is a good way to practice these
This helped, I've been moving away from multiplayer as I don't have many people to play with, and public lobbies are usually toxic. It's a great point that you have control of the ghost, that really gives you a sense of security
A very important tip for new solo hunters: unlike multiplayer, ghosts hear you all the time when playing solo
That means, if you speak during a hunt, even if you aren't pressing your push-to-talk button, the ghost will hear you, find you in your hiding spot, and kill you.
I personally dislike this, because it means that if there are background noises when you're playing, if someone in your house speaks, a car passes by, your dog barks, etc, the ghost will pick up on that too.
And also, they might pick up on your microphone noise (which is my case), thus forcing you to mute your mic during hunts. It took me a while (and a lot of deaths and in-game money) to figure out that this was the reason I was always getting caught on my hiding spot and dying in every single game. And, since I don't have an audio board, I downloaded a program called MuteMic that does the trick.
Still, I find that very annoying, but I hope this tip saves you!
Last play through I had, I wish I was recording. Was a solo on tanglewood, but was hilarious once the 2:30 grace period ended. Ghost tried to do a jump scare when the grace period ended by doing that fake hunt and appearing right next to me in the foyer. Instead of getting scared, I looked at the ghost pretty confused (insert dial up tune). Once it clicked that was the ghost, I ran out. I realized as I ran out that not only was I able to rip the front door open, but I had my photo camera out and could have taken a photo of the ghost. I immediately turned around to rush in to take a photo but the lights blew out and the ghost disappeared.
luckily enough, a few minutes later, I was able to take a photo of the ghost in the bathroom. 100% by accident as I meant to snap a shot at dirty water, but dude appeared in the tub. I jumped back (in-game) and my hand clenched the mouse, taking a photo. Funny enough, the camera glitch was positioned just right to black his groin lmfao
used to be so scared playing solo but i just kept doing tanglewood over and over. its so safe. boosts your confidence. until you get a demon early hunt and regret everything.

Am I the only one who just immediately hits the like button before he even begins? haha

I haven’t played, but I know this is much appreciated since I have zero idea where I’d even begin, lol.
I would like to see what happens during ghost hunt in training mode.
I think the game is much easier solo. You are in more control of the variables when solo.
I really hope your channel blows up. everything about your content is beyond beautiful. Thank you for this guide!
As good as your tips are, I don't know if they'll help me to not be an absolute piss-baby coward, lol.
I prefer to play solo :O
Can you do a tutorial for money grinding or something?
I definitely abused the heck out of the tutorial in order to get used to the game solo. Still spooked to play solo. But that's half the fun, isn't it?
Awesome video. Thank you!!
So you hold the smudge sticks and how do you light them as you are being hunted? I am new to the game :))
Thanks so much! That's exactly the video I wanted to watch!
I mean if u don't try out solo, I feel like ya just don't know how to play video games in general
on multiplayer i died because another player turned on their flashight on during a hunt from the tarot cards.
One question i have: Is there any way to practice hunt related objectives with little impact to my money? I always die to smudge mishaps or just dont do them at all so i was wondering if there is a good way to practice these
16:25 sounded more like a boat engine than singing
I would love to play with you sometime
the one reason im terrified of solos are because of banshees and demons
idk how to beat them

4:10 Insym gets that question all the time 🤣
I wonder, have you ever played or done anything together?

Ok noted but what about vr solo 🤔
I used to be super scared to play solo…now 30+ games in solo on professional+nightmare I definitely prefer solo more.
sadly playing phasmo solo is difficult for me cause of the back ground noises so the ghost will kill me every time 🙁
❤️
Thanks, this has helped me a lot
I had no idea that Building lights had any impact on my sanity. Thought it was just candles.. Thank you!
How do yo play this solo in VR….. you dont!

I see. I was wondering where all the non-murderous ghosts were, and it turns out, your employer just saves them for training newbies.

None of my friends want to play this with me so I always play alone xdd Gets boring easily.
