Welcome back to Phasmophobia! In this video we do the super amateur challenge! Which tries to emulate what it felt like to play Phasmophobia for the first time! You think that any minute after the 5 minute safety period will be super dangerous. Well what if we actually made this come true. By setting my sanity to 0% we will immediately get hunted as soon as the safety time is over. Let’s try to survive a noob’s worst nightmare!

right so ur telling me i just gotta become a youtuber if i wanna play with you lmao
I am level 100 and still super amateur, Sunny Meadows is terrifying
My friend plays phasmo but he's a twitch streamer. @pjchubz he's also good at this game, maybe you can play with him? Though he's a small streamer, slowly growing.
Play phasmo with LIVE INSAAN.
I would say this would help me but I can't even walk into the house. On the other hand, my daughter just strolls in and plays on nightmare like some pro. XD
Btw, at 14:16 you can see the -1.1 and just before at 14:11 you can see your breath
im from brazil, love uu
I remember my first game , me and my friends were not even able to get in the house
While you are at it with the devs for amateur and intermediate can we talk about other things that actually make it easier? As you figured out for yourself the set up time for no hunts is basically useless unless it's a demon. Kind of funny that it influences the modifier so much when it does so little. I mean I guess with other modifiers it's more influence but with usual amateur and intermediate settings? Basically useless.
My suggestion? Certain ghosts do not appear or have their 'rules' modified. On amateur any ghost that hunts above 50% does not appear as well as the Deogen and the mimic cannot use its ability to become them. On intermediate, Demon and Deogen cannot appear, same rule for mimic. Demons and Deogens breaking the 'basic' rules is fine for professional and nightmare but for players starting out it feels a bit… harsh. I mean I guess you know better but just a suggestion for actually making the game easier as opposed to a set up time which does basically nothing.
How does he know that it is a phantom first game ?
Hey french fan here !
The first time I play this game I was like : "What did I do if I see the ghost ?! Screaming or run away ? XD"
I discovered you at your beginning and I learn so many things from your content that are so cool to watch everyday !
I adore your personnality, never change Insym ! Kiss from France !
I got spirit box in my first game ever, which was just over a month ago. I hadn't watched any update videos yet… so I was only familiar with the OG spirit box of "adult, death, etc." So when a creepy "I'm behind you" came out, I literally ran and hit the button on the truck and took a wild guess at the thing.
There should be another trophy for our noobs, the chicken trophy, aka a literal chicken on a trophy. To get it, complete the asylum on 0% bonus LOL
Should've also gone with starter equipment only, for the true "amateur noob experience". Since you're unlikely to have lots of money for all the fancy equipment at the start.
Amateur isn't "more difficult" than higher difficulties.
A major part of playing phasmo is risk management and the main thing easier difficulties do is reducing the risk the game presents it's players.
It doesn't make the game harder per se, it cuts down on some high risk high reward strategies. As a result, the game slows down significantly for someone experienced enough to handle high risk high reward strategies comfortably, but an inexperienced player who wouldn't be able to take advantage of those is more protected from accidentally stumbling into them and failing. Inexperienced players are presented with a slightly less nuanced game which is good because it allows them to eas into the game more gradually and they don't get overwhelmed as much. But for skilled players the lack of high risk options kind of holds back their potential.
Quite honestly I think that's a genius way to balance the game. Rather than a flat out statistical difficulty difference the different settings affect how comfortable they are to play depending on what type and experience level the player is at.
Amateur reduces the access to more advanced strategies and situations so inexperienced players are less at risk of stumbling upon them and failing which is good for them. But more experienced players that are able to handle these comfortably are being withheld access to their most effective strategies, which for them makes the game slower and and less efficient than what they're used to, which may be percieved as "harder".
Where can I watch your live streams?
You should do a 0 sanity starter item speed run challenge.
Playing low sanity + no pills, 150% ghost and 0s grace period makes the setup timer feel as loud as that clock on 24h (show). The cold sweat of insta-death incoming. You end up bringing all the crucifixes, smudges, lighters and candles. XD
One thing i do is set an emergency smudge stick with lighter besides a working glowstick in the way to my hideout. That way i can have a smudge-on-the-go/drive-thru while running from the ghost. XD
(Btw, thanks for listening to my suggestion! <3 )
Here's a similar challenge to this one:
-> Try to find the ghost type before the timer runs out and survive a cursed hunt (inside the house):
– Setup Timer (in minutes) and Cursed Possessions (random type) per map size: 3 for Small (10-15 rooms); 4 for Medium (16-20 rooms); 5 for Big (21+ rooms);
– No smudge sticks nor pills allowed (but crucifixes and tarot cards are allowed)
– 50% sanity (so you can get hunted but also be able to use cursed itens)
– 150% ghost speed and 0s grace period
– 125% player speed and 6s recharge for sprint
All other settings (like breaker, sprint duration, sanity drain, hiding places, open mic, hunt, roam and room change, monitors, etc.) are up to you. Have fun! XD
Unfortunately, about the language setting: That doesn't work for me. I might have the site in English, but it's been continuously showing videos in the language of the country I'm currently in…I had to get a browser VPN for it.
how did u start with 0% sanity?
For a true amateur challenge, it should have been all hiding spots available but no smudge sticks. Newbies always die from smudging too late or too soon and don't know how to break line of site, so they don't use it. They always jump into the nearest closet at the slightest hint of a ghost lol
My first game was solo tanglewood. I knew what to expect, but was still so sweaty by the end of the match
I Remember staying in the van and being level 5, gotta love it and being too scared to go inside
My friend bought the game for me and had me ply on nightmare, I was spooked to say the least. Scared Shitless to say the most.
We all had that feeling at least once in our playtime!
love you insym reply or phas will get deleted from your steam library
I always found any other level easier than amateur LOL
Love the vid, but I still don't get how your multiplier is x0. Amateur has the same setup time without a x0 (doesn't it??), and your game is set up harder than that. Weird.
This is exactly what I though would happen when the timer ran out my first game
Over 300 hours and Ive never seen a ghost in that bathroom in the farm house, figured it was just lumped together with the bedroom or something
You callin' me a noob?
Because you're absolutely right! I'm a huge fucking scaredycat and even Amateur can break me before the 5 minutes are even over.
I can relate to Insym. Learning Tamil or Hindi is hard.
24:34 Someone has to pay the ghost to give a show.
My first game the ghost glitched and it hunted forever. I was hiding in the tangle wood closet in the hallway to the front door. The ghost opened the door multiple times and I never got out until it just opened the door and killed me. It was a yokai, still pretty pissed
Do more VR plz. You havent done VR with the new update.
Challenge idea…
Fathersym: Start with only a flashlight and 2 crucifixes. You can unlock a random item each time the ghost eats a crucifix. Unlock 2 items if the ghost eats it while in your hand. 0 sanity is a given. The power of Insym compels you!
My first time playing phasmo is with my friend and.. Man… We were making a hella big fuss on the radio, doing one step forward and two step backwards, crouching all the way while holding a crucifix; and this happened before we even got INTO the house LMAOOO
I will never forget the first time we stepped in, and the ambience sound immediately changes, ugh… SHIVERS.
Imagine a level 1 player doing this challenge
This was definitely fun and challenging! Good one Insym and thanks 
You should play with soul zeref he is also a viewer of yours and has like 300k subs btw he is from India and can speak English too
Love from India
I remember it clear as day my first ever game was a demon and I got RECKED
pls play with liveinsaan
You both are reason why i love this game
Also he cann speak english
The fact that you figured Grafton was a mimic in 1 minute then forgot by the end of the run and put hantu instead had me yelling at the screen
chat was soooo troll love ya loads 
My friends and I refuse to learn the game cause it’s much funnier to die and be scared
