As of update v0.10, the glowstick is now the Tier 2 UV light, and the tier 2 UV light is Tier 1. To learn more about the electronic UV light, please go watch my guide video on the Tier 2 equipment: ruclips.net/video/mWIXVTbUHRY/видео.html
I've been into the paranormal and at lockdowns my entire life. When I started playing I noticed there's quite a bit of research you need to do and understand. But videos like yours really help filter out most of the questions I have lol.
I've played this in VR a couple times and had no real clue what to do. Fi ally got around d to watching g a few beginner's guides. But yours was the first that actually explained what the items do. Even better that you gave an update in the comments. Thanks for the video. Gonna look at the rest of your videos.
ive recently been getting back into the game after not playing for a good long while (i think just before or after they added nightmare or the cursed possesions, i dont really remember) so getting guides like this is very useful. ive really been enjoying the game, and me diving back in has led me to great channels that i didnt know about before, like this one. so thanks for the guides and keep up the good work!! (also tier 1 spirit box is the bane of my existence)
me and my cousin have been playing for over 2 months and have never been able to get the ghost correct, as soon as we watched this and played another round we got it right, thank you so much for this video!!!
this has been so useful, ive been playing this game for a few months now but even i learned some new stuff, such as the ghost can leave footprints right after stepping in salt, thnx for this!
I just started playing Phasmophobia and before it the only ghost hunting games I had experience with were Ghostbusters games and I thought the EMF was like a PKE meter and basically just played hot or cold with the ghost itself, had no idea it was for measuring the EMF of interactions. Great video, super helpful!
thank you so much, the best guide i´ve seen! I returned to the game (now in VR) after not playing it again since the first month from release. The spirit box made me lose my mind. I gave up after failing a lot of times bc of it
I'm glad to hear it helped! and yeah, I'm really hoping they make the tier 1 spirit box a little easier to use in the future because of this. It's so annoying to use!
On the thermostat: exactly a reading of 0 is considered freezing. Many times you'll see the mercury mark just above 0, but you it will also mark flush with 0 and that is freezing.
So, turns out there is actually an indicator light on the headcam, but it's only visible if you happen to play with your FOV set to something between 86-90. I play with mine at 80, so I never even saw it. Why it's not visible on FOV settings between 60-85 is beyond me 🤣🤣
I needed a guide i started playing this game today because it released on ps5 and me and my friends have no idea what we are doing😂 this guide wel hopefully make us understand the game more thank you
My partner and I just started playing this surprisingly scary game, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm finding it very overwhelming with all the equipment and different types of ghosts. We're both getting better, but it is still pretty difficult 😅.
This creator and one other are the two best for Phasma tips. Kudos! Also, I need to get this for my console. If anyone wants to donate some of their extra points towards me buying it in my Xbox, that'd be amazing. Y2K x Death is my GT.
@@AmberWixx i haven't played the game in a long while and didn't know about all of these changes so I recommended it to a friend and we were all excited trying to complete missions, but after failing 5 missions in a row for not getting any clue we got a bit frustrated, especially after finding out the correct ghost had clues we attempted to collect multiple times. I feel like the game changed a lot and not necessarily for the best. It was simpler but it worked.
@@gabzsy4924 I'm sorry to hear this has been your experience, and I know a lot of others are having the same struggles. I agree that they made so many changes that made the game even more unfriendly to newer players, and it sucks.
It's happened to me too, me and my friend that are on PC and Console tried about 15 times each, he still didn't respond when he was a Poltergeist and he had it, we even did a hunt because we thought it was a Myling and he was AS QUIET AS A MYLING, we only heard the footsteps when he came close, he wasn't throwing much, so we figured it was a myling and we couldn't get EMF, it was going to be out first ever perfect game AND THEN IT WAS A POLTERGEIST
does anyone know how to open the book on controller 😪 i’m more comfortable using a controller for games, but i can’t find anything on how to place items and open them without just dropping them lmao
So I don't know if it'll change based on what controller you're using, but with my PS4 controller I was able to get the placing outline by holding down the left trigger button (L2). That showed the book being open so I could then place it where I wanted when I was close enough to the ground.
To me when I play the game in solo, the ghost will begin starting their hunt a little bit too early cause I check the time n the activity, it reveals that the ghost has begin to make a lot disturbance n want to go on ahead do the hunt early. I play only solo cause I’m stuck on amateur mode n my plan to catch the ghost & guess it’s name was place a trap where I catch them before or after the hunt begin. I only setup four tier 1 camera in the living room to aim at the kitchen n hallway(close to the front entrance) and setup one in garage n basement(since the fuse box is only located at two place). I have to rely on two tier one crucifix to stop the hunt so I can get prove n setup more equipment and use the two motion sensor to give me a head up that the ghost are moving around n they get ready to come hunt me down alone. This is why I want few of my friend to join me n play with me so we can hav fun n level up faster n quicker so we can get the tier two equipment n tier three until later once we got tier two or three equipment, we can play solo n set the tier 2 or 3 equipment ready n set the trap for the ghost so we can take a photo, hear them speak/whisper, passed the motion sensor n d.o.t light n step on the salt. But thx for telling us about the tier 1 equipment since they are weak n worse n make all player to work their butt off to level up to get better equipment to hunt the ghost before the ghost play reverse uno card saying “we’re hunting you now since u know what we are but you ain’t gonna leave alive”
Thank you for all the help! Made ghost hunting so much easier ^^ Been looking around and can't find an answer; maybe you know: if i trigger a cursed hunt at around 30% sanity, survive, and use pills to get back above the 50% threshold, would I be safe from a hunt if it's not one of the ghosts that can hunt above that threshold?
I’m so glad I could help! And to answer your question: you would indeed be safe again! The ghost would only be able to hunt again once you drop below its hunting threshold, unless another hunt is triggered from a cursed object.
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole progression thing. I like it on paper but it feels like the early stuff makes things so much harder than it should be. Great video though!
I've definitely heard a lot of people saying the early stages of the game are too much of a struggle now, so you are for sure not alone. I'm curious to see if they put out any patches that will make it feel more balanced, especially for people new to the game.
what key do i have to press if i wanna place down the notebook because i cant get writing cuz i dont know how to place a notebook, Could you tell me? and amazing video
I'm not sure if its Display settings or something? But My Tier 1 headcam shows a bit more on the top of my screen than it does on yours and it indeed does have an on/off light indicator.
omg you're absolutely right! but, it only shows up if you have your FOV set to something between 86-90... which I think is a really weird decision. Those of us playing with FOV between 60 - 86 are just screwed lol
I absolutely agree! While I get it's supposed to be hard to get a response, sometimes it feels impossible and that should not be how it is, especially when these are the items given to new players. I hope they adjust it in the future!
One of the worst beginner game experiences this year - and for all the wrong reasons. • bugged multiplayer mechanics Me: “point the UV light on this object” Co-player: I just did. Me: No, this one right here.. Co-player: I’m pointing at it just now. Me: “No THIS ONE over here! Co-player: “I am pointing at it!!” Come to find out from screenshots that game coordinates don’t match up and that our characters don’t even face the same directions on either screens. I mean… really? In a game where you can only carry 3 items, one at a time (last time I checked I have two perfectly working hands), and where co-op and time management is essential for success. • bugged quest objectives that are either unfulfillable or simply fail to trigger. Literally had a ghost appear right inbetween us, EMP needle buried, everyone saw it, one got killed. Back in the truck. “EMP objective” not fulfilled. “Witness a paranormal event”, not fulfilled. “At least one team member escape…” not fulfilled. • Broken training mode. That thermometer objective… • Too few choices of ugly ass character models, badly rigged, badly animated. • My character’s drop shadow is literally a floating hand, which is so unintentionally hilarious in a ghost hunter game. • Perfectly functional homes that can only have so many lights on at the same time or fuse box blows out. I mean… cmon. In an abandoned factory or asylum, fine. But in a lived in home? In short, stupid AF game design that feels like an ill conceived homebrew project in severe need of beta testing. I’m not paying to be a beta tester - they should pay ME! I demanded a full refund, but I exceeded 2 hours trying to get complete training mode and to get full score on the first mission (Tanglewood Drive), so probably won’t get it. Having a broken a broken training mode as a time sink was a brilliant move by this hack developer. Bravo.
I have been through the training mode several times and had no issues, so not sure what's going on there. The game is early access and therefore does have quite a few bugs, but from my personal experience a lot of them just add to the charm of being a somewhat janky ghost hunting game. The game design is fantastic, as this is one of the only ghost hunting games that actually fleshed out specific ghost behavior so you can play the game in countless different ways to keep it fresh, even for someone like me who has put thousands of hours in the game. I think you mean EMF, not EMP? If the ghost spawned and killed someone, that was a hunt and not a ghost event. The EMF device glitching during a hunt does not count as an EMF signal, nor would it give you the ghost event objective. And if someone died during the hunt, the escape objective will immediately fail. So, a lot of this can just be explained by not understanding how the game works. It's okay to not like the game, it may not be for everyone, but calling the devs hacks is going too far. They have put so much time and love into this game, and many of us out here are loving the game and having a great time, all jankiness aside. 1800 hours for a game I originally paid $8 for back in the day is the best deal I have ever had on game.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way! It does have a bit of a learning curve to it, but there are many wonderful people in the community who can help teach you everything you need to know.

Amazing guide, had issues with some equipment but this explains a lot better then other guides.
Thank you! I'm glad I could help 😊
Such a great video. A lot of detail and good explanation. Thank you!
And thank you for watching!
Very nice guide + editing💜
Much appreciated!
Thanks for all your hard work in making this video
You're welcome, and thank you for watching! ❤❤
9:27 Never experieced that ghost event but if I did while playing in VR I'm quite sure I'd have to change my pants after
very useful. thank you Amber!

that's right! and that's what I highlighted in the video, where I showed the mark just above zero that it can still get to when it's not freezing!

Very well explained and easy to understand ty
Glad to hear it! You're welcome!
This video is amazingggg, thank youuuuuuuu

Thanks for your vids, mimics and these tier ones items were confusing
happy to help!

Like the paramic? I don't think it will pick up the ghost talking on the spirit box, but I have honestly never tried.
Tier 1 stuff isn't good but its also not too bad
They have served me well in Phasmo but tier 2 and 3 ones are much better
Yup! Just as it should be with the new progression system (though, so far I've enjoyed Tier 1 thermo more than any of the others).
Thanks a lot ♥
