Are you ready to become a ghost hunter?
If you’ve just launched Phasmophobia and found yourself trapped in a dark house with EMF readers and flickering flashlights, don’t panic. This beginner guide will teach you the essential tips to help you survive, collect evidence, and have fun.
🔰 1. Start on Amateur Difficulty
If you’re new to the game, always start on Amateur mode. It gives you more setup time, the ghost is less aggressive, and you’ll have more breathing room to understand the game mechanics.
🛠️ 2. Use Your Starting Equipment Wisely
At the beginning, you’ll have basic tools like:
- EMF Reader
- Spirit Box
- Photo Camera
- UV Light
- Ghost Writing Book
Start by scanning rooms with the EMF reader and look for cold spots. Place the ghost book in likely haunted areas early to collect evidence passively.
🧍♂️ 3. Stick Together – Safety in Numbers
You are much safer in a group. Staying together helps with morale and makes ghost hunts less dangerous. Use voice chat to call out discoveries.
📓 4. Use Your Journal Constantly
Your journal is your best friend. Log evidence like EMF Level 5, freezing temps, or fingerprints right away. This helps narrow down the ghost type efficiently.
🧠 5. Watch Your Sanity
Sanity affects how aggressive the ghost becomes. Keep lights on, avoid the dark, and take sanity pills when available.
🔎 6. Don’t Rush Evidence Collection
Take your time—some evidence like ghost writing or freezing temps may take a while to appear. Patience pays off.
👻 7. Learn the Ghost Types Gradually
Don’t overwhelm yourself. Focus on learning common ghost types like Spirit, Banshee, or Phantom first. You’ll recognize behaviors faster with experience.
🎥 8. Use the Van Cameras and Sound Sensors
You don’t have to be inside the house all the time. Use cameras and sensors from the van to spot ghost activity and protect your teammates.
✝️ 9. Bring a Crucifix Later On
Once you earn more money, invest in helpful tools like the Crucifix to prevent hunts and the Head-Mounted Camera for better coordination.
💀 10. Have Fun and Expect to Die
You will die — and that’s okay! Each death teaches you something. Enjoy the thrill, laugh with friends, and learn as you go.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Phasmophobia is a terrifying yet addictive game, especially with friends. Start small, build confidence, and enjoy every spooky step. With these beginner tips, you’ll be surviving ghost hunts like a pro in no time.
