I took your advice and got the trophy before they did the item overhaul money reset. It took me 17 hours over 2 days and i finally got the gold after being absolutely bullied by a phantom for 45 minutes. I got a headache from the adrenaline when i was crawling out the door. I was a true *gamer* that day and im super proud of myself.
@@mistadudei was honestly praying for a deo so I could actually have a chance at winning. Once i got a mimic deo and the disappointment almost broke me lol
I hear these stories of people taking forever to beat this challenge and it makes me feel a little guilty sometimes. I beat the challenge on my second try because I got an incredibly lucky thaye with two objectives relating to smudge, and one objective to getting the ghost photo. Lured the thing into the chapel, did one smudge, took my picture, hid behind the piano and got tf out. I did get super lucky on the smudge cuz it was so scary how fuckin fast that guy was, I had to have insane reaction time but that was literally it.
The autocam idea around 46:37 is a great one. It would make different tier tripods useful. Make it linked to only tier 3 items, like Tier 3 Tripod + Tier 3 Camera + Tier 3 Motion sensor placed together within a certain small radius.
i had a banshee on gold apocalypse mode that did not roam to me AT ALL and i sat in the map for like 15 minutes with the paramic because i was scared. safe to say i was incredibly confused when it said the ghost was banshee after i died 😂😂 ALSO no banshee scream after like 7 whispers or something crazy
I guess it might be just because you weren't close enough, back then path finding was not really accurate too. They probably didn't want a banshee to leave its ghost room too often in big maps because of its ability.
About some of the rants (from this video and others) about taking mechanics or bugs away; I really agree with you. I get that game devs don't like bugs and that they want to improve the game. But they often forget that the game is supposed to be fun. I think Mojang does this decently well since they often don't patch bugs when the community values it. And when they do patch it they try to compensate for it with an intended and better balanced feature. They also trust the community to play how they want. They're not perfect and there are probably plenty of examples where they did the opposite, but overall they handle it really well. I think the Phasmophobia devs (as well as many other developers) get so hung up with balancing the game and forcing people to play the game the way it was intended, that they forget that people fell in love with the game how it was.
@@vismattress5760 newsflash: they weren't bugs, they were actual mechanics in the game everyone loved, which Mojang removed because they wanted the game to be more lengthy.
This is so cool to watch, my group of friends just started playing Phasmo about a month ago & we didn't realize this was all new/updated stuff. I can't imagine playing the game without a lighter slot honestly. Also your videos have been incredibly helpful for teaching us to survive contracts more efficiently. We were leveling up at a snails pace before, now that I understand the importance of photos and am not as afraid of hunts, games have gotten more exciting.
Went to attempt this myself before this new update came out since I finally got my hands on the night vision goggles. Wanted to beat it before those goggles got nerfed after you mention they were going to touch up on it long while ago haha. After many attempts, I got my gold trophy! My ghost was a Thaye which was super scary because I used up all my smudges in my playthrough and I was lucky enough to get a ghost event for the photo! Felt so accomplished. Seeing that you are now able to hold a lighter in its own slot would've made things so much easier but hey, I did it and I am happy.
There’s another easy way to do this, as long as you have tier 3 salt you can do it, go to the chapel and put down 3 things of salt, make sure you have 3 objectives you can do during the hunt, (motion sensor, repel the ghost, escape the ghost, etc) and wait for the ghost, as soon as the ghost runs in take a picture and hide behind the piano, I got the badge after about an hour and a half, I didn’t use any headgear at all.
Thank you so much Insym for this. I never play Phasmo alone but I really want these trophies and achievements. Watching your guides helps to learn so I can be better prepared when I finally go for it. Can't wait to do it now and put my attempts on my channel lol.
I still haven’t gotten any of the apocalypse challenges done yet and I don’t know why. We were even given gold apocalypse as a weekly challenge, giving me even less of an excuse to not try it. With the new ID card, I think next apocalypse challenge as a weekly challenge I’ll try to get it done!
@@sairentoeko noooo! Really??? I’d love to get the trophy done and the weekly challenge would be the perfect time to do it and it incentivizes people to try it out! Guess I’ll just get back to unlocking tier 3 items and grind to get a lot of money to prep!
@@UnfriendlyFire we were not given golden apocalypse as a weekly, we had a much more easier version of it. Real apocalypse is much more harder than that. And in my opinion no other difficulty can get you ready / you can practice on to be ready for gold apocalypse. You have to get a lot of money and try to get this repeatedly and pray to phasmo gods that you get lucky, like getting easier ghosts in earlier tries and getting easy objectives.
For me, the t3 parabolic was a lifesaver, as it lets you sit in the lobby and listen to where the ghost starts hunting from, and also gives you an idea of how fast it is, as well as allows you to hear what objects it's throwing, how often, etc. For me, normal speed ghost throwing a TON of objects. Obviously a poltergeist. Lured through black salt into the church and snapped a photo, smudged and hid behind the piano. The most difficult thing was getting a ghost event and preventing the hunt with the crucifix, because I had to go into one of the corridors, past the door it would lock, to try and get the objective. Thankfully, the room was close, so I was able to get a burn, an event, it exploded a pile of items, confirming my guess being a poltergeist, and then after I waited for it to burn it a second time, I booked it.
Just putting this out there for anyone that happens to see this while going for the challenge. You can get photos during hunts quite easily if you bring tier three smudges as long as you stay within a proximity of your hiding spot (this means luring the ghost toward your hiding spot), and if you do that you can get photos during hunts in turn by using the smudge and then spamming photos as you walk toward your hiding spot. You have to order your inventory in reverse for this (incense and then camera in the next slot over).
My best tactic for getting a ghost event isn't being in the ghost room with a cruci, since both charges will get used pretty fast... I like to be in the room to the left or right of the ghost room (with crucifix) because it'll jump to you to ghost event. And even if it ghost events and hunts right after your crucifix covers you!
58:50 - My most deaths is Moroi, so yes I agree, Moroi is very dangerous even when it had the 12 seconds smudge effect in old version. Apocalypse weekly I remember me and teammates knew it was very fast ghost, Moroi or Thaye or Hantu, I said I will sacrifice myself to figure out which one of them, and I used the smudge and smudged at the ghost and it took 12 secs before it refind me again and I died, but teammates survived and went with Moroi and it was Moroi, 12 secs was just a tool for Moroi, just like Wraith with salt, Wraith and salt is more OP than Moroi and smudge, cus it's an absolute dead giveaway that it's a Wraith. I disagree with the Moroi change, as well.
I wish I knew that event frequency thing when I was working on my trophy. I had a deo at one point, had EVERYTHING but the ghost event objective, spent 3 damn hours in the map looping that deo around the chapel waiting for an event and finally had to give up because it was so late at night 😭 The whole time the ghost room was right next door. was a horribly unlucky run, so that change could have been game changing lol.
@@n.c.pictures😂 lol I had been trying for WEEKS and had keep dying before I could get everything I needed, I was struggling with this one lmao. So when I finally got that close I was trying to finally just finish it off 😂. I finally did I think a few days later with another deo of all things lol. Refused to go to sunny meadows for the longest though lol.
@@ItsTheByrdit’s the only one I can loop going that slow lol. When it slows down to a crawl it’s still slower than you. So as long as you don’t get stuck between a dead end and the deo you can just walk away from it till the hunt ends. I think I’ve seen others loop around the one hospital bed with faster ghosts but I’m not nearly that confident lol.
I know the feeling. It seems that (And I can't verify this, so don't quote me) because the side doors lock, if the ghost's room is behind them (even though they are just a room or two over from the chapel), it treats them like "different houses," so you aren't likely to get an event unless you are past that door, which in those corridors is basically suicide. I had a poltergeist right on the other side of the wall, and I too was hiding in the church. It would immediately run through the church every hunt, and I could very clearly hear it interacting with things in that room from my position, but no event. It wasn't until I decided to risk throwing it all away to wander through that door with a crucifix in hand that it finally gave me an event, but not before it immediately burned the crucifix in my hand. I got the event, it used its ability to confirm my suspicion that it was in fact a poltergeist, did a second event, and so I was set. I did, however, decide to wait until it burned my crucifix a second time before trying to make a break for it, so it wouldn't slam that side door in my face and rush at me. I was able to get to the lobby before it started another hunt, so I had to wait that out, but I was ultimately able to get out and finish.
Thanks to this vid, I did it! 12 tries (2 of which I was very close on) last was an Obake that shapeshifted infront of me like 3 times for an easy ID, photos and side objects were easy too, thanks Insym!
My apocalypse gold run involved a Demon child that gave me a run for my money! A lot of online guides will recommend resetting the game until you get a Deogen to complete the apocalypse challenge but it’s such a fulfilling rush to go in expecting to fail and then actually succeed!
Holy shit, I didn't realize you had to do it solo so I had never bothered cause I thought of doing it with friends, then I heard you mention it had to be singleplayer at the beginning of the video and then remembered I just prestiged so I said o well lets try it a couple times. First try had emf crucifix and motion sensor so I reset and got ghost photo/paramic/emf and just said w.e lets just try. I went in and it did a ghost event and I couldn't find it because I had no lights at all and just in pitch black. took a couple slow ass photos but didn't get lucky. It burned my crucifix so I got emf off of that and tried smudging but it failed and it started hunting from somewhere else so I just sat in the corner at the front door but I was like where did it hunt from so it got me thinking maybe wraith or banshee because of that first event and crucifix burn. I lived that first hunt so I grabbed a paramic and set up a motion sensor and salt in the little doorway and my second crucifix. Got the paramic sound and then it walked through the salt and I tried smudging it but right after it starting hunting from far again, it had hit the salt so I was like this has to be a banshee or mimic unless the twins were like perfectly trolling me. Banshee was most likely so I sat in the corner again, it came through the motion sensor and it burned my crucifix and I smudged again missing the ghost as it hunted from far again. So with my last smudge I was still sitting in that corner, I moved away from the motion sensor to make sure it didn't teleport back to its room or w.e it was doing after what I was assuming as a banshee stalk, this time I was pretty sure I got it as shortly after it did a ghost event and I just starting spinning in circles taking as many pictures as I could and I managed to get a photo. I left and it was a banshee and I completed bronze silver and gold on my first try going into the building, second load of the level as first obj seemed hard, apoc challenge completed and I would have probably never even tried if you never mentioned the single player requirement on this video. I am here shaking still while writing this, There was a bit of me that wanted to not even try with t1 items, but holy shit am I glad I did. i.imgur.com/d8YEm0g.png Screen shot of the 3 apoc achievements being completed. i.imgur.com/fupaCsP.png Screen shot of the End of game rewards, also shows I wasn't even high enough level for better items.
I usually take the photo with tier 3 salt. I create a wall with tier 3 salt and wait for the end of the hunt and start talking to ghost and as soon as he step at the salts I start taking photos and I don't put all of it, I only use one salt jar and put the 3 piece of salt and take the photo and I usually doesn't need to even use the smudge cause the hunt ends most of the time
I've learned a lot from your ghost guide and just other videos of yours. I started the apocalypse challenge tonight and have only played up to nightmare so far. I've done 2 matches and knew the ghost type based on things I've learned from you. Unfortunately, I didn't finish all the stuff before I died.
I know how you feel about the camera toggle delay. My solution was to reverse and smudge first. Led it into a couple piles of black salt, tossed the smudge, snapped the pic as it hit the smudge, tossed the cam and backed up. I still complained about it in their discord. "As if trying to get a picture of a cracked out ghost on apocalypse wasn't already difficult enough." They told me to mention it when they opened up the feedback page. Please, please mention it.
Each time the updates get released for Phasmo the apocalypse challenges get significantly difficult as well however not this time round with the additional lighter slot. Goodluck players! Thank you Insym 😀
I'm not going to lie, my apocalypse trophy was after the update, but it was a perfect RNG dream. The ghost was an Obake and was in the Female Wing about 3 rooms past the bookshelf you can wedge yourself into to avoid the ghost. All I had to do was escape the ghost during a hunt, detect EMF, and some other fairly easy objective. I wedged myself in the bookcase with a camera, a smudge, and a paramic and did basically everything from there. The whole run was 38 minutes and it was the only attempt I needed, I got that setup first try.
My first ever attempt at this. Got a deogen. And the ghost event objective. Was in there for about 45 minutes and no events. It eventually cornered me and killed me. Fuck this game
Had to go work before I could watch the whole thing, but I'm wondering if the Yokai at 26:00+ couldn't find him because the pathing required it to keep leaving detection range?
my apocalypse ghost was: phantom for bronze, phantom for silver, deogen for gold~ now my question is do i need to do everything again for that new badge ? or i can just do 1 any difficulty since i already completed everything
Doesn't nightvision being turned on reveal your location to the ghost? or is it only if they're in very close proximity to you already? because i often use it to lure the ghost to my location for a photo, but i usually also play on small to medium maps so it works every time, im just bit confused as how you didn't get blitzed by the ghost every time it hunted because you kept the nightvision turned on during hunts.
I think there are some goofy problems with Sunny Meadows in the ghost's pathfinding and how it navigates around obstacles. More than once on regular Pro and Nightmare games, and once during an Apocalypse challenge, I've had ghosts that I was absolutely sure had found me, be unable to reach me. One in particular was by the old bookshelf in that first office on the left when you enter. I was very sure that it was a Deogen, but it walked by that room 3 times in two separate hunts before it finally found me and killed me. Turns out it was a Deogen. It should have located me the first time but I don't think it could get me. Maybe because it thought I was in the hallway outside and it couldn't kill me through the wall? The only reason I stayed in the map was because of that weird behavior.
I managed to complete the apocalypse 3 days before the update hit and i managed to find a goryo in a 1 out of 4 chance with jihn, goryo, yurei and potential mare (i had checked some lights and no ability) my objectives were EMF, parabolic and motion sensor. only chose goryo cuz i kept hearing it start from the exact same spot in the parabolic mic for a whole of 52 minutes. parabolic mic is god sent in the apocalypse
maybe the changes with swapping camera is you must use tier 3 smudge to get a photo, so the risk is higher now with taking photo of the ghost while it hunt. No more smudge tier 1/2 then photo, but Tier 3 Smudge > Photo > Tier 3 Smudge again
Its been over a year since my last gold apocalypse run. After numerous runs I finally got a deo with easy objectives..... and I forgot to circle it in the book... fml. I might try again soon 😅
Do we must stay alive to apocalypse even if we have all the elements needed? I'm too scary and bad to do that kind of challenge but I want this ID skin so bad :o Do we earn the previous trophies if we aim to do the gold one ?
to everyone in the chat who were trying to convince insym that the last ghost was a thaye: that speed is thaye at ITS NORMAL 100% SPEED, 150% APOCALYPSE THAYE HAS MACHINE GUN FOOTSTEPS! you literally instantly know that its a thaye then.
I got this before the update by getting lucky with the ghost/room combination. Rev in the kitchen, it could barely move out of the room unless triggered for me.
my closest run was a mimic being a deo for 25 minutes and i had everything else done. The ghost didnt wanted to change so i thougt i could not be a mimic anymore, there for i didnt look for orbs
Bit late to this video, but man that moroi/thaye battle in the last game was insane. Completely fucked over by the candle not being blown out lol. I get that he likes the extra challenge, but this is exactly why people reset their objectives because it just isn't worth the extra pain and suffering. Tbf though candle objective should've actually been easy as hell, idk what was going on that game.
I wonder if they fucked up when they made it so the ghosts can no longer do ghost events in the hallway, if that completely made it so they can't blow out candles in hallways, even during hunts.
*In new update some time some objective is completed because of bug. I just known by nightmare runs and just recorded then reported . I got capture ghost photo objective and got 4 ghost event and took all ghost photo but it's not counted. 😢 scansym
Do you think it would be cool if they added a platinum trophy for people getting a perfect game on 15x difficulty? As a super hard challenge for someone to go for that already got the gold trophy?
Point Hope is a great map, but there are tons of tons of buqqs inside, if you wanna know what you can do on point hope just ask me, Spoiler you can go under the Map, out of the map, behind the bus, stand outside on the tower, stay above the campfire, fly under the map and see the big red cirdcle (where you need to go to lobby, because you cant go back), go into a window where you can see the teammates and throw items through without they seeing you and much more ^^ Tell that CJ :D but it is a cool map xD write under it i will answer in the next few days ^^
one of them that you know i know the lot of buqqs, if you open on top the closed door fot the engine to put the gear inside, you can open the door in an angle of 90° and walk straight on it, while holding left mousebutton. then you warp up and can go on the table, bit tricky but if you try a bit you do it. but the others i will only say insym if he answer, if not i will know it until anyone find it out :D
wraith banshee phantom are my best ghost in this challenge. I didnt have to move much to get them. also firelight is the easiest way to get EMF from ghost you can even get it far from ghost room during hunt.
Insym I just had a super idea, you should make a ghost gambling game where you roll 2 times and have everyone vote for 2 different ghost and 1 none category, since 50/50 is a ton of fun why not do 33.33%?? It would be a hoot because if there is 24-22 ghost, Doing a roll of 2 for 3 votes is even better of a accomplishment as a watcher to get right since it is 1/3 possible instead of 50/50 but would also maybe even the odds between the wins for believers and non since in probability the more you have on the board the more chances you have of hitting the right ghost. But if three votes 2 rolls ends up being right to many times and really destroys the doubters votes then going back to 2 is Guess the sweet spot, or maybe 3 rolls for 4 votes?
Hey insym my brother thanks for inspiring others and detection to your streams are very determined your my man you are the popular stream And you are most favourite part of the stream thank you for all of the phasmopbia streams ❤🎉😊
I think they should just have lighter be auto equipped and not something you can have in your hand, it's nice that there's an extra inventory slot not but it's kind of annoying accidentally swapping to lighter when I need to get to smudge, just have it auto equipped on your person at the start of the game or something and if you die you gotta buy a new one
I have a question about 150% ghost speed. Is it actually 1.5x normal? Or slightly faster. I tried keeping track of footsteps and it seemed faster than 172 bpm, which is 115 x 1.5
Got it on my second try coz I realised it was the Twins. First game correctly identified Wraith but it killed me despite smudging it twice, was using tier 2 tho
@@moog38yearsagoupdated1mont9 They made it so if you take a photo, you can't switch items for a few seconds. I think it was to fix a bug with the Polaroid camera where quickly snapping a picture and then swapping to a different item would always make the camera detectable by ghosts when it's only supposed to be detectable when a photo is taken.
@@moog38yearsagoupdated1mont9 that you can't immediately toggle to a different item after taking a photo anymore and instead have to wait for it to complete. That split second of smudging can be life or death like seen in the video
I did Apocalypse 1 twice. First time was a practice run, got a wraith and it would have been a perfect run. Second one, my real run, was a banshee. Got it twice in a row with everything needed, but my god was a wraith to a banshee fucking insane. I was TERRIFIED because they both spawned right by me each time. As I was leaving, the banshee actually did a full apparition event right by the door and I thought I was dead LOL
That would be kinda cool. I would love to do apocalypse with my friend because i know he wouldn't wanna do it solo. I technically still could but it would be cool if they actually had a trophy or something for it. I learned so much more about the game when apocalypse came out and i really had to figure out EVERYTHING that all the ghosts could do.
I went for the lvl one challenge and when i got in i heard a banshee scream and the 3 objective were escape the ghost repel the ghost and smudge near the ghost Then i got confident and went for the lvl 2 apocalypse and did it 2nd try lmao (Keep in mind i am lvl 80 and i have 120 hours in the game😂)
Why dont you bring the needed items for objectives and survival inside the building instead of always waiting for a hunt to end and going back in the truck tho?
Yesterday, i wanted to try the apocalypse 3. i got wraith, i completed all tasks, taked the photo of ghost AND forgot to put on wraith then i was leaving. ON 1ST TRY I ALMOST GOT IT
I really dislike the fact that on Sunny Meadows the doors lock you out of certain areas during a hunt. Like why can't leave the basement when the ghost is hunting there? It's so dumb...
There is a bug, when we are revived by monkey paw. Our inventory is back to 3 slots instead of 4(lighter), anyone have the same bug as me? Or is it just me?
I really think they made the tier 3 headset absolutely useless in this update. Hear me out. I do believe the headset needed a nerf. And i do agree it needed some electronic interference. But i feel like its too much. When a ghost is near you cant even remotely see out of it. And you gotta navigate in the dark. So if your gonna be navigating in the dark anyway. Why risk the ghost detecting you, and then hitting your key bind to take the headset off. Which the animation completely covers your screen. I literally kept dying due to my headset. The second i took it off and just navigated the dark, i got the challenge done. On top of that. The tier 3 headset is really only useful in this specific challenge. Which like i said, is kinda useless imo. Any other map or game, chances are flashlights will not be disabled and the tier 2 headcam works like a normal flashlight without taking the inventory space. You can literally use it to test a yokai. Doing that would be literally impossible with tier 3 since you cannot see anything. I feel like if they just made the interface similar to tier 3 video cam it would be fine. I understand they wanted to make apocolypse more challenging due to adding another inventory slot. But i feel like its just too much. Heres my solution. Make the interference more like tier 3 vdeo cam so its still usable near a ghost. And then to add the same level of difficulty back to how it currently is by increasing the ghost detection range when using a head cam. That way in normal games it would actually a viable option. And since its tier 3 it obviously needs something to be better than tier 2. So the increased detection range would also add a good way to detect raijus as they would speed up at further ranges. You could also use the detection distance to identify yokais as well. Sometimes yokais can be tricky on certain maps as you get unlucky with where they walk and assume it detected you. So the increased range would make it more obvious if a yokai isnt coming for you when wearing the tier 3 headcam. But it would also add a challenge to apocalypse as breaking line of site and not being detected is your only chance of survival Edit: sorry for the long paragraph, im just kinda upset they changed the tier on the UV to try and balance the tiers and then in the same update destroyed the tier 3 headcam
I took your advice and got the trophy before they did the item overhaul money reset.

The autocam idea around 46:37 is a great one. It would make different tier tripods useful. Make it linked to only tier 3 items, like Tier 3 Tripod + Tier 3 Camera + Tier 3 Motion sensor placed together within a certain small radius.

I guess it might be just because you weren't close enough, back then path finding was not really accurate too. They probably didn't want a banshee to leave its ghost room too often in big maps because of its ability.

You have to get a lot of money and try to get this repeatedly and pray to phasmo gods that you get lucky, like getting easier ghosts in earlier tries and getting easy objectives.
Now do it in VR 💀
Tbh I’m probably going to do that sadly
I don’t understand the controls out of vr
Can I have any tips for doing it in vr please?
For me, the t3 parabolic was a lifesaver, as it lets you sit in the lobby and listen to where the ghost starts hunting from, and also gives you an idea of how fast it is, as well as allows you to hear what objects it's throwing, how often, etc. For me, normal speed ghost throwing a TON of objects. Obviously a poltergeist. Lured through black salt into the church and snapped a photo, smudged and hid behind the piano. The most difficult thing was getting a ghost event and preventing the hunt with the crucifix, because I had to go into one of the corridors, past the door it would lock, to try and get the objective. Thankfully, the room was close, so I was able to get a burn, an event, it exploded a pile of items, confirming my guess being a poltergeist, and then after I waited for it to burn it a second time, I booked it.
When he be like “this is incredibly stupid,” but completely disregards it. 😂
24:33 You got the paranormal objective right here, just after it stopped hunting.
I LOVE the fact that we can basically carry four items now, because for me, personally, I feel like I'd always want to have a lighter on 0 sanity. 🥳
Just putting this out there for anyone that happens to see this while going for the challenge. You can get photos during hunts quite easily if you bring tier three smudges as long as you stay within a proximity of your hiding spot (this means luring the ghost toward your hiding spot), and if you do that you can get photos during hunts in turn by using the smudge and then spamming photos as you walk toward your hiding spot. You have to order your inventory in reverse for this (incense and then camera in the next slot over).
My best tactic for getting a ghost event isn't being in the ghost room with a cruci, since both charges will get used pretty fast...
I like to be in the room to the left or right of the ghost room (with crucifix) because it'll jump to you to ghost event. And even if it ghost events and hunts right after your crucifix covers you!
58:50 - My most deaths is Moroi, so yes I agree, Moroi is very dangerous even when it had the 12 seconds smudge effect in old version. Apocalypse weekly I remember me and teammates knew it was very fast ghost, Moroi or Thaye or Hantu, I said I will sacrifice myself to figure out which one of them, and I used the smudge and smudged at the ghost and it took 12 secs before it refind me again and I died, but teammates survived and went with Moroi and it was Moroi, 12 secs was just a tool for Moroi, just like Wraith with salt, Wraith and salt is more OP than Moroi and smudge, cus it's an absolute dead giveaway that it's a Wraith. I disagree with the Moroi change, as well.
I wish I knew that event frequency thing when I was working on my trophy. I had a deo at one point, had EVERYTHING but the ghost event objective, spent 3 damn hours in the map looping that deo around the chapel waiting for an event and finally had to give up because it was so late at night 😭 The whole time the ghost room was right next door. was a horribly unlucky run, so that change could have been game changing lol.
I would've rage quit after an hour lol. Respect for the dedication 😂
@@n.c.pictures😂 lol I had been trying for WEEKS and had keep dying before I could get everything I needed, I was struggling with this one lmao. So when I finally got that close I was trying to finally just finish it off 😂. I finally did I think a few days later with another deo of all things lol. Refused to go to sunny meadows for the longest though lol.
You can loop the deo going that slow?
@@ItsTheByrdit’s the only one I can loop going that slow lol. When it slows down to a crawl it’s still slower than you. So as long as you don’t get stuck between a dead end and the deo you can just walk away from it till the hunt ends. I think I’ve seen others loop around the one hospital bed with faster ghosts but I’m not nearly that confident lol.
I know the feeling. It seems that (And I can't verify this, so don't quote me) because the side doors lock, if the ghost's room is behind them (even though they are just a room or two over from the chapel), it treats them like "different houses," so you aren't likely to get an event unless you are past that door, which in those corridors is basically suicide.
I had a poltergeist right on the other side of the wall, and I too was hiding in the church. It would immediately run through the church every hunt, and I could very clearly hear it interacting with things in that room from my position, but no event.
It wasn't until I decided to risk throwing it all away to wander through that door with a crucifix in hand that it finally gave me an event, but not before it immediately burned the crucifix in my hand. I got the event, it used its ability to confirm my suspicion that it was in fact a poltergeist, did a second event, and so I was set. I did, however, decide to wait until it burned my crucifix a second time before trying to make a break for it, so it wouldn't slam that side door in my face and rush at me.
I was able to get to the lobby before it started another hunt, so I had to wait that out, but I was ultimately able to get out and finish.
Easiest way is to just restart your game anytime you don’t get the deo. It took me about 4-5 hours of just restarting over and over again.
Thanks to this vid, I did it!
12 tries (2 of which I was very close on) last was an Obake that shapeshifted infront of me like 3 times for an easy ID, photos and side objects were easy too, thanks Insym!
My apocalypse gold run involved a Demon child that gave me a run for my money!
A lot of online guides will recommend resetting the game until you get a Deogen to complete the apocalypse challenge but it’s such a fulfilling rush to go in expecting to fail and then actually succeed!
REAL ghost hunters don't take the easy way out 😤
Holy shit, I didn't realize you had to do it solo so I had never bothered cause I thought of doing it with friends, then I heard you mention it had to be singleplayer at the beginning of the video and then remembered I just prestiged so I said o well lets try it a couple times. First try had emf crucifix and motion sensor so I reset and got ghost photo/paramic/emf and just said w.e lets just try.
I went in and it did a ghost event and I couldn't find it because I had no lights at all and just in pitch black. took a couple slow ass photos but didn't get lucky.
It burned my crucifix so I got emf off of that and tried smudging but it failed and it started hunting from somewhere else so I just sat in the corner at the front door but I was like where did it hunt from so it got me thinking maybe wraith or banshee because of that first event and crucifix burn.
I lived that first hunt so I grabbed a paramic and set up a motion sensor and salt in the little doorway and my second crucifix.
Got the paramic sound and then it walked through the salt and I tried smudging it but right after it starting hunting from far again, it had hit the salt so I was like this has to be a banshee or mimic unless the twins were like perfectly trolling me.
Banshee was most likely so I sat in the corner again, it came through the motion sensor and it burned my crucifix and I smudged again missing the ghost as it hunted from far again.
So with my last smudge I was still sitting in that corner, I moved away from the motion sensor to make sure it didn't teleport back to its room or w.e it was doing after what I was assuming as a banshee stalk, this time I was pretty sure I got it as shortly after it did a ghost event and I just starting spinning in circles taking as many pictures as I could and I managed to get a photo.
I left and it was a banshee and I completed bronze silver and gold on my first try going into the building, second load of the level as first obj seemed hard, apoc challenge completed and I would have probably never even tried if you never mentioned the single player requirement on this video.
I am here shaking still while writing this, There was a bit of me that wanted to not even try with t1 items, but holy shit am I glad I did.
i.imgur.com/d8YEm0g.png Screen shot of the 3 apoc achievements being completed.
i.imgur.com/fupaCsP.png Screen shot of the End of game rewards, also shows I wasn't even high enough level for better items.
I usually take the photo with tier 3 salt. I create a wall with tier 3 salt and wait for the end of the hunt and start talking to ghost and as soon as he step at the salts I start taking photos and I don't put all of it, I only use one salt jar and put the 3 piece of salt and take the photo and I usually doesn't need to even use the smudge cause the hunt ends most of the time
was just trying this last night, thank you!
How'd it go?
I've learned a lot from your ghost guide and just other videos of yours. I started the apocalypse challenge tonight and have only played up to nightmare so far. I've done 2 matches and knew the ghost type based on things I've learned from you. Unfortunately, I didn't finish all the stuff before I died.
I know how you feel about the camera toggle delay. My solution was to reverse and smudge first. Led it into a couple piles of black salt, tossed the smudge, snapped the pic as it hit the smudge, tossed the cam and backed up. I still complained about it in their discord. "As if trying to get a picture of a cracked out ghost on apocalypse wasn't already difficult enough."
They told me to mention it when they opened up the feedback page. Please, please mention it.
Insym kept forgetting that he had a lighter that would've made traversing the dark in a hunt a lot easier
even though he kept going on about how useful the ability to keep a lighter on you as a freebie slot is
If u get the deogen its basically a free win, cuz u can still outrun it.
barely
Actually, you can't "outrun" a deo on this difficulty. You will move at the exact same speed as the deo, so you can still kite it, but its hard.
Lolooll@@JRead0691
Oh ll
L
Each time the updates get released for Phasmo the apocalypse challenges get significantly difficult as well however not this time round with the additional lighter slot. Goodluck players! Thank you Insym 😀
W insym my brother thanks for inspiring others and determined the whole stream ❤🎉😊
@@Vix4x Just to let you know, your comment came under mine in case you don't know. Have a great day and your comment is so kind 😃
I'm not going to lie, my apocalypse trophy was after the update, but it was a perfect RNG dream. The ghost was an Obake and was in the Female Wing about 3 rooms past the bookshelf you can wedge yourself into to avoid the ghost. All I had to do was escape the ghost during a hunt, detect EMF, and some other fairly easy objective. I wedged myself in the bookcase with a camera, a smudge, and a paramic and did basically everything from there.
The whole run was 38 minutes and it was the only attempt I needed, I got that setup first try.
My first ever attempt at this. Got a deogen. And the ghost event objective. Was in there for about 45 minutes and no events. It eventually cornered me and killed me. Fuck this game
Had to go work before I could watch the whole thing, but I'm wondering if the Yokai at 26:00+ couldn't find him because the pathing required it to keep leaving detection range?
my apocalypse ghost was: phantom for bronze, phantom for silver, deogen for gold~ now my question is do i need to do everything again for that new badge ? or i can just do 1 any difficulty since i already completed everything
Hi Insym! Can you play Mad Father and Angels of Death? They're old games but the horror aspects of them are super good!
The lights in the chappel do work, I had an onryo hunt because the chappel was the ghostroom
Doesn't nightvision being turned on reveal your location to the ghost? or is it only if they're in very close proximity to you already? because i often use it to lure the ghost to my location for a photo, but i usually also play on small to medium maps so it works every time, im just bit confused as how you didn't get blitzed by the ghost every time it hunted because you kept the nightvision turned on during hunts.
I think there are some goofy problems with Sunny Meadows in the ghost's pathfinding and how it navigates around obstacles. More than once on regular Pro and Nightmare games, and once during an Apocalypse challenge, I've had ghosts that I was absolutely sure had found me, be unable to reach me. One in particular was by the old bookshelf in that first office on the left when you enter. I was very sure that it was a Deogen, but it walked by that room 3 times in two separate hunts before it finally found me and killed me.
Turns out it was a Deogen. It should have located me the first time but I don't think it could get me. Maybe because it thought I was in the hallway outside and it couldn't kill me through the wall? The only reason I stayed in the map was because of that weird behavior.
cant wait for apocalypse challenge with cj and psycho.
i think the ghost hunter has been stress eating hence the slow walks
I managed to complete the apocalypse 3 days before the update hit and i managed to find a goryo in a 1 out of 4 chance with jihn, goryo, yurei and potential mare (i had checked some lights and no ability) my objectives were EMF, parabolic and motion sensor. only chose goryo cuz i kept hearing it start from the exact same spot in the parabolic mic for a whole of 52 minutes. parabolic mic is god sent in the apocalypse
maybe the changes with swapping camera is you must use tier 3 smudge to get a photo, so the risk is higher now with taking photo of the ghost while it hunt.
No more smudge tier 1/2 then photo, but Tier 3 Smudge > Photo > Tier 3 Smudge again
"im not scared of the ghost"
famous last words
Guess I was really lucky with getting a deo on my 4th run with a relatively easy objectives. (capture ghost photo, emf, blow firelight)
Its been over a year since my last gold apocalypse run. After numerous runs I finally got a deo with easy objectives..... and I forgot to circle it in the book... fml. I might try again soon 😅
Do we must stay alive to apocalypse even if we have all the elements needed? I'm too scary and bad to do that kind of challenge but I want this ID skin so bad :o
Do we earn the previous trophies if we aim to do the gold one ?
you have to stay alive and you do earn previous trophies if you beat the gold one first
@52:49 the cctv logo hits the bottom right corner!!
to everyone in the chat who were trying to convince insym that the last ghost was a thaye: that speed is thaye at ITS NORMAL 100% SPEED, 150% APOCALYPSE THAYE HAS MACHINE GUN FOOTSTEPS! you literally instantly know that its a thaye then.
If you can’t toggle to smudge after taking photo would doing it backwards work. Like instead of taking photo and smudge, smudge THEN take photo
I got this before the update by getting lucky with the ghost/room combination. Rev in the kitchen, it could barely move out of the room unless triggered for me.
This isn't the hardest challenge in Phasmo, but I would love to see you attempt it sometime! Only seen one other do the perfect game. 🙂
my closest run was a mimic being a deo for 25 minutes and i had everything else done. The ghost didnt wanted to change so i thougt i could not be a mimic anymore, there for i didnt look for orbs
I smudge and then get a pic. Also drop the camera as soon as you get the photo it worked for me
Bit late to this video, but man that moroi/thaye battle in the last game was insane. Completely fucked over by the candle not being blown out lol. I get that he likes the extra challenge, but this is exactly why people reset their objectives because it just isn't worth the extra pain and suffering. Tbf though candle objective should've actually been easy as hell, idk what was going on that game.
I wonder if they fucked up when they made it so the ghosts can no longer do ghost events in the hallway, if that completely made it so they can't blow out candles in hallways, even during hunts.
*In new update some time some objective is completed because of bug. I just known by nightmare runs and just recorded then reported . I got capture ghost photo objective and got 4 ghost event and took all ghost photo but it's not counted. 😢 scansym
Is there any way to "train" for the apocalypse challenge?
Do you think it would be cool if they added a platinum trophy for people getting a perfect game on 15x difficulty? As a super hard challenge for someone to go for that already got the gold trophy?
I am absolutly hyped from video to video! love your content! ❤❤
just made it today first try thanks to you because i didnt even know the looping spot thanks :)
Congrats 🥳
Point Hope is a great map, but there are tons of tons of buqqs inside, if you wanna know what you can do on point hope just ask me, Spoiler you can go under the Map, out of the map, behind the bus, stand outside on the tower, stay above the campfire, fly under the map and see the big red cirdcle (where you need to go to lobby, because you cant go back), go into a window where you can see the teammates and throw items through without they seeing you and much more ^^
Tell that CJ :D
but it is a cool map xD
write under it i will answer in the next few days ^^
How ?
one of them that you know i know the lot of buqqs, if you open on top the closed door fot the engine to put the gear inside, you can open the door in an angle of 90° and walk straight on it, while holding left mousebutton. then you warp up and can go on the table, bit tricky but if you try a bit you do it. but the others i will only say insym if he answer, if not i will know it until anyone find it out :D
i also put fog on instead of heavy rain, it doesnt change the multiplier
wraith banshee phantom are my best ghost in this challenge. I didnt have to move much to get them.
also firelight is the easiest way to get EMF from ghost you can even get it far from ghost room during hunt.
Yeah you just need to walk with a crucifix glued to your feet or else you're fucked.
Insym I just had a super idea, you should make a ghost gambling game where you roll 2 times and have everyone vote for 2 different ghost and 1 none category, since 50/50 is a ton of fun why not do 33.33%?? It would be a hoot because if there is 24-22 ghost, Doing a roll of 2 for 3 votes is even better of a accomplishment as a watcher to get right since it is 1/3 possible instead of 50/50 but would also maybe even the odds between the wins for believers and non since in probability the more you have on the board the more chances you have of hitting the right ghost. But if three votes 2 rolls ends up being right to many times and really destroys the doubters votes then going back to 2 is Guess the sweet spot, or maybe 3 rolls for 4 votes?
Insym I got a question how do you tell what time and when it hunts do you use a timer or is it in real life time?
Hey insym my brother thanks for inspiring others and detection to your streams are very determined your my man you are the popular stream
And you are most favourite part of the stream thank you for all of the phasmopbia streams ❤🎉😊
I think they should just have lighter be auto equipped and not something you can have in your hand, it's nice that there's an extra inventory slot not but it's kind of annoying accidentally swapping to lighter when I need to get to smudge, just have it auto equipped on your person at the start of the game or something and if you die you gotta buy a new one
I watched someone get deo and only struggled with the parabolic mic task but won
I have a question about 150% ghost speed. Is it actually 1.5x normal? Or slightly faster. I tried keeping track of footsteps and it seemed faster than 172 bpm, which is 115 x 1.5
Great video, can we get another episode of pacific drive when your ready?
Got it on my second try coz I realised it was the Twins. First game correctly identified Wraith but it killed me despite smudging it twice, was using tier 2 tho
Had an Onryo instant hunt in chapel with 100% sanity and got completely fooled by it. Thought it was demon 😂
great vid as usual insym!
47:44 that camera change was the worst thing of the update.
Agreed it pretty much forces you to smudge first and then try get some photos
Which change?
@@moog38yearsagoupdated1mont9 They made it so if you take a photo, you can't switch items for a few seconds. I think it was to fix a bug with the Polaroid camera where quickly snapping a picture and then swapping to a different item would always make the camera detectable by ghosts when it's only supposed to be detectable when a photo is taken.
@@moog38yearsagoupdated1mont9 that you can't immediately toggle to a different item after taking a photo anymore and instead have to wait for it to complete. That split second of smudging can be life or death like seen in the video
@@n.c.pictures oh yeah, completely kill the chance in higher difficulty.
I did Apocalypse 1 twice. First time was a practice run, got a wraith and it would have been a perfect run. Second one, my real run, was a banshee. Got it twice in a row with everything needed, but my god was a wraith to a banshee fucking insane. I was TERRIFIED because they both spawned right by me each time. As I was leaving, the banshee actually did a full apparition event right by the door and I thought I was dead LOL
Does it come even when i beaten the apocalypse chalange before the update ?
When you’re 0 sanity does the hunt still stop eventually?
In the video the hunts stop after 1 minute and i think there is a 25 second grace period after a hunt where the ghost cannot hunt again
I beat this challenge on my first try.. my friend Deo helped me a lot
the change to the camera so you can't change off of it while the photo is devastating on this challenge.
They should have group apocalypse and the trophie should have like 3 heads
nah the amount of heads should be based on the amount of players in the round.
That would be kinda cool. I would love to do apocalypse with my friend because i know he wouldn't wanna do it solo. I technically still could but it would be cool if they actually had a trophy or something for it. I learned so much more about the game when apocalypse came out and i really had to figure out EVERYTHING that all the ghosts could do.
I went for the lvl one challenge and when i got in i heard a banshee scream and the 3 objective were escape the ghost repel the ghost and smudge near the ghost
Then i got confident and went for the lvl 2 apocalypse and did it 2nd try lmao
(Keep in mind i am lvl 80 and i have 120 hours in the game😂)
It sucks I won’t be able to get the old holiday trophies.
it took me like 5 attempts ( only cuz a spirit never ghost evented me ) before i finally got perfect objectives plus a deo and got my trophy today :D
I did that challange... Only camped in entrance... I got phantom so it always roomed to me, so It was easy
Their “bug fix” with the photo cam is annoying. They need to change that soon, it makes it unfair for a lot of players.
I did it when it got released, after 12 tries I got a hantu in a room close to the spawn
Why dont you bring the needed items for objectives and survival inside the building instead of always waiting for a hunt to end and going back in the truck tho?
The hardest challenge would be attempting this without tier 3 head cam.
why did the devs change the apocalypse gold from 24x to 15x?
Probably to adjust for the fact that leveling up takes less xp and is faster.
iirc that change came with the custom difficulty rebalancing, 15x is the new max multiplier.
Yesterday, i wanted to try the apocalypse 3. i got wraith, i completed all tasks, taked the photo of ghost AND forgot to put on wraith then i was leaving. ON 1ST TRY I ALMOST GOT IT
I really dislike the fact that on Sunny Meadows the doors lock you out of certain areas during a hunt. Like why can't leave the basement when the ghost is hunting there? It's so dumb...
Why not level 2 incense?
after all the tutorials I still dont understand how you know where to go in the pitch dark
I know Insym has 2000+ hours in this game. Outside of Point Hope, which just got released, he probably has a very good idea of map layouts.
I was just trying the challange with losing items disabled and I got a deo first run😭
Just got my gold trophy vs a Wraith. It's horrible, but still doable
Dang... I really want this but I am legally blind and really don't think I will be able to get it done.
There is a bug, when we are revived by monkey paw. Our inventory is back to 3 slots instead of 4(lighter), anyone have the same bug as me? Or is it just me?
VR is really being neglected as far as updates. could you maybe try VR again some time just to bring some attention to it?
For people watching this now, you don't need the headcam if you set your brightness super high.
I really think they made the tier 3 headset absolutely useless in this update. Hear me out. I do believe the headset needed a nerf. And i do agree it needed some electronic interference. But i feel like its too much. When a ghost is near you cant even remotely see out of it. And you gotta navigate in the dark. So if your gonna be navigating in the dark anyway. Why risk the ghost detecting you, and then hitting your key bind to take the headset off. Which the animation completely covers your screen. I literally kept dying due to my headset. The second i took it off and just navigated the dark, i got the challenge done. On top of that. The tier 3 headset is really only useful in this specific challenge. Which like i said, is kinda useless imo. Any other map or game, chances are flashlights will not be disabled and the tier 2 headcam works like a normal flashlight without taking the inventory space. You can literally use it to test a yokai. Doing that would be literally impossible with tier 3 since you cannot see anything. I feel like if they just made the interface similar to tier 3 video cam it would be fine. I understand they wanted to make apocolypse more challenging due to adding another inventory slot. But i feel like its just too much. Heres my solution. Make the interference more like tier 3 vdeo cam so its still usable near a ghost. And then to add the same level of difficulty back to how it currently is by increasing the ghost detection range when using a head cam. That way in normal games it would actually a viable option. And since its tier 3 it obviously needs something to be better than tier 2. So the increased detection range would also add a good way to detect raijus as they would speed up at further ranges. You could also use the detection distance to identify yokais as well. Sometimes yokais can be tricky on certain maps as you get unlucky with where they walk and assume it detected you. So the increased range would make it more obvious if a yokai isnt coming for you when wearing the tier 3 headcam. But it would also add a challenge to apocalypse as breaking line of site and not being detected is your only chance of survival
Edit: sorry for the long paragraph, im just kinda upset they changed the tier on the UV to try and balance the tiers and then in the same update destroyed the tier 3 headcam
