I love the level 1 EMF and intend to keep it! I have always had issues with the high-pitch tones of the original which can set off my tinnitus. I limited my usage of the EMF for that reason. The softer geiger counter clicks of the new one are so much better on the ears.
While I don't have tinnitus and I do like the improved sounds to the t2 emf, I agree with you! I love the tier one and I don't plan on upgrading it for quite a while.. if at all. The sounds are very quiet and pleasant. Also it's a refreshing change from tier 2. For me, it shows emf accurately enough so far to not be an issue. ☺️
Actually a goated accessibility option imo. Have a couple different options for stuff like the emf that could bother people with hearing sensitivities or tinnitus. Even if it's just an option between default, always Geiger style, and always high pitch
Played in the Prison map last night, and the Poltergeist we had kept throwing our video cam around. Every time we would leave to grab more stuff, we could see the camera falling over.
Sunrise should actually be the coldest point while dusk should be hotter. Dusk is when the sun goes down so it’s been beating all day on earth. Then at sunrise it’s been night time for so long so the ground has cooled off.
I honestly hoped the tier 1 items would mostly be non-electric, so their #1 use case would be "you can safely use them in a hunt and the ghost does not interfere with them"
Nope. Just the thermo and uv. Though I wish they'd made the emf analog. It's so close already. Edit: it turns out the t1 camera is apparently analog too, which is pretty good considering that's an item I see kill a lot of people, and I myself can still remember a time not terribly long ago that I was caught lacking with one in my hand
It's so annoying, listening to footsteps is so important in identifying the ghost, especially since the tier 1 equipment is so unreliable. Thought I was just getting mylings at first.
@@ladytetrahedronthat’s probably why they made the ghosts louder than their footsteps. It was getting too easy to identify ghosts. It’s a good update to make the game more challenging
I noticed that when the ghost is activate it is making sounds and as soon as it stops you know it no longer active. You immediately carry on automatically/instinctively because you've played so much. It might be a good update if they have the ghost be quiet sometimes during its hunt so that you can't be instantly sure that it has finished. - stops making sound - you come out of hiding - "There you are.."
I think the paramic is functional too. It used to not directionalize sound, but now can hear sounds far enough away that would have dropped off even for good hearing. It's like having a 6 meter advantage in that direction. Which is useless for small maps, you need something at least as big as maple.
I’m pretty sure this would break some hiding spots. Ghost chasing is based on line of sight, so crawling on the ceiling would let it see behind, for instance, the couch in the bedroom in willow or the countertops in kitchens. It would look creepy though.
Tier 3 Sanity ‘Medication’ sounds like something pretty good for larger maps so even if you got a ghost faster than you, you have some stamina at the very least
Agreed. It makes total sense to me. Another way to put it: when the thing is smaller because of distance, your cursor has less "area" before it's no longer over the target. This is why closer is better, bigger target to ensure your center-screen is over the ghost. You don't NEED to be close, just that it will be more forgiving when it is close, in how much area counts as being "in the center". I got a 3 star ghost photo during a red room event while the ghost was on the other side of the room (garage). I knew it wasn't a hunt (red light), so I kept my cool, turned until I saw it, aimed my cursor over the ghost and snapped my shot. Disappeared a second later. 3 stars. It isn't impossible, but the "hip-shot" photos where you swing your view across and frantically snap a photo in the ghost's general direction, isn't going to be as easy to get 3 stars as before. I haven't myself, and I haven't heard of anyone else yet.. but does the higher tier cameras have a more forgiving star rating for "centered" photo shots? THAT would make tier 3 REALLY useful at that point. I'm waiting to see how Insym feels about the tier 3 equipment when he finally gets his hands on them and really gives them a shot.
Yeah, while my friend and I played, we didn't use tripods because the truck cam would get stuck on one cam whenever we did. Only problem was that the ghost would go ham on the cam, knocking them around quite a bit. T-T
I think Paramic tier 1 should get infinite range given for how narrow the cone is, it means you have to percisely aim at the correct direction than other tier where its a wider cone making it easier to get a reading than a small cone that you have to aim and the range is basically your vision
@@anasevi9456 technically there wasn't anything mis-marketed or whatever, cause when we were told new content we were basically told new item tiers, no new map, no new ghost types, no new stuff other then items, so there's no real mis-marketing
This update is amazing! I hope they add new ghost models soon. Some of the models look really ugly (graphic wise) and would be nice to get more of a variety in models too
You’re on fire love this update…I haven’t been this excited about an update in a while. I appreciate you explaining these new items because I’m pretty confuzzled with some, lol. Thank you for being awesome
6:08 I played a game tonight where a moroi knocked over the tier 1 tripod. That’s the only time it’s happened to me so far so it’s rare but still possible.
I wish they would make the glowstick its own thing instead of an item in the UV item tree. Make them in 4 different colors (one for each player) and have them be used as markers for areas of interest (especially on big maps) and emergency lights.
I've definitely survived going through ghosts on occasion. It seems more like it takes a second or so to hit and then only blinds the ghost for a second. I've also had multiple times where the ghost appears to retarget me within the 6 seconds they should be blind. My hypothesis is that the effect is being applied and removed by the smudge checks.
5:35 That actually happened on my first game in the new update LOL. I just placed it on the ground since I had no tripod yet and when I checked the feed on the van the camera was just upside down. That's so funny I thought it was just possible to place it wrong😭
They should add durability to the "consumables" so it makes more sense for the, Matches/lighter fuel/meds (liquid per bottle) has more than 1 use per time bought and still has to be bought more often than b4 update rather than 1 use per item bought. Like photo camera was 5 pics per camera except instead of it being reset to 5 uses every match once its at 0/# uses you have to buy another. (referring to consumables, not camera)
Guy describes parabolic microphone as muffling all other directions, and boosts directly in front. Which is exactly what parabolic microphones are designed for. I get that it makes gameplay worse, but you essentially complained that your cheeseburger had cheese, meat, and a bun.
As a Vr player: the tier 1 lighter is absolute a$$ because i have to pull out the match out of the box and then change one hand to the smudge and then light that. it takes ages
11:19 without knowing if salt has tier 2 or 3, i was just jokingly say that higher tier would be fancy salts like him himalayan pink salt etc... turns out it really is😆🤣
Also fun fact playing in be using tier 1 lighter you’ll need to hands to use the matches as well as then needing to grab the smudge as well so it takes up 3 spaces
It'd be awesome if a goryo, instead of blinking invisible, they blinked into their special dots mode (even on no evidence). That way you could possibly see them all the time when a dots is hitting them through a video cam (maybe only T3 would work due to the interference). That'd be challenging to test since you'd need to kite them over dots while looking through a cam, but would also provide another way to test goryo and a use case for dots (and another for cam) during no evidence.
I just wanna ask, is the parabolic mics good for larger maps on harder difficulties then? If it's useless for small maps, surely it's good for larger ones right?
On the contrary, I've never seen precisely 0 either. It's either a solid 1, or it's -0.5. If it's 0, it's not freezing and has no debate. I guess it's kinda like a polter now, if you have to question it, then it's not.
I usually wait until I see the black bar of the thermo, then some white, and then the red. If there is no white between the black and red, I won't take it as freezing.
T1 para mic is not that bad,I've tested,you can hear knocks on windows,items being thrown and footrests from far away.not being able to hear right next to you is working as intended imo,its a focused tool
There is one thing about tha parabolic mic. only advantage it have over tier 2 and 3, is that it's not electronic. that means that the ghost won't be able to detect it while on i think. only thing i can think of is if someone was to cause a hunt at the start, a person might be able to find where the ghost spawn from maybe
Loving this update so far, though I'm worried about changes like slowing down smudge sticks and etc. it really feels like the developers either dislike their players or have an extremely stubborn sense of balancing that they refuse to look past (ie, summoning circle is still literally useless)
It's crazy to me that new and inexperienced players are forced to deal with unreliable items, a newbie trying to learn the spirit box is going to struggle so much for no reason while a veteran will have the best tool available
I do love that the tier one thermo is an outdoor thermometer. Literally and old-school metal outdoor thermometer. It's funny because the warmth from your hand should make it warmer... lol Phasmo hands are ambient temperature I guess.
45:25 as an electronics engineer of some kind i can assure you it may be not electronic, or alternatively the current in it is so low that Raiju doesn't care. Well. "not electronic" to a certain extent, it should have wires. Or maybe it's just magnetic, though LEDs say otherwise We did build EMF from scratch just for the memes and it wasn't using source of energy as it just detected presence of electro-magnetic field. When there's change in magnetic field - it can make change in the current of wire. Literally the way DC transformer work. I assume it draws current from ghost's presence and it's interactions (at least it could), maybe capacitors even to have little charge for LEDs to work, they don't need much, so
its funny when youre describing the spirit box cause thats how the old box was for me. it was to the point we learned how to find spirit box ghosts with other means cause we could never get it to work.
small improvement to the dots: you can throw the dots on the ground and still see dots with the cam, for the scared van sitting players like me. But also when you are in the Room. you just need to consider the correct placement, so it works like t2 with a little draw back.
put the T1 Video cam on the garage and place it on one of the red carts , thats the hot spot for ghosts to topple video cams multiple times , for me, a few times on 1 run or once on multiple runs.
Now that I think about it, buying better meds would increase moroi tests significantly (since it's not instant anymore). Making T2 slightly better than T1 for that
I have had this game since day 1 and it was instantly my favorite horror game. Insym only made it that much better playing along side him and learning the mechanics. I will be buying it for console as well when that releases just to further support the devs. I cant wait for the new animations.
Started playing this update yesterday but didn't get the badge thing at the start. Thought it was just a bug and continued on because everything else was as it should be for the new update. I reached level 18 last night and completed the challenge to get the 5k. This morning when I played again, the badge thing popped up and EVERYTHING ended up resetting. Zero money and back to level 1 😭. Other than that and the lag, been having a lot of fun. Really great update.
my guess with the sanity pill is they want more people doing the one man in the truck, 3 men in the house, so that they can relay sanity numbers and let them stay sane longer in the house. This way, once people get everything in, if events happen immediately, then sanity meds can be taken in the house and set up/testing can continue for longer without hunts.
5:30 I don't know if it's worth upgrading, I've had a ghost knock over a camera on a tripod in 2 games since the update and it still wasn't much of a hinderance other than being like oh hey it knocked the camera over. Also, cameras and the computer are bugged as hell, headcams don't work, you can only see 1 cam at a time, if have 2 cameras out, including headcams, whoever is in the truck can't cycle through cameras, not even static cameras on the maps like highschool.
Spirit Box has never been 100% for me, even before this update. Even when I was standing right on top of the ghost after a ghost event, if I didn't get a response, I couldn't rule it out. In the most extreme example, I was once playing in a team of 4, and 3 of us spent 3 to 5 minutes each in the ghost room trying to get Spirit Box because we weren't getting anything else. When the 4th player walked in, she got a response instantly.
When the ghost set off the damn car alarm I jumped up & ran to my car XD Holy shit its midnight here & I have had people try to break into my car before. Damn you Insym!
dang bro insym more like crazsym i cant even image how hard it is to do some many videos in just 2 days!!! Good job insym dont forget to take breaks aswell!
i dont know if dots changed, but i recently picket up Phasmo again after stopping to play back when the new Horro 2.0 or what it was called update came. Dots yesterday for me workel like the old one, i put it on the ground and watched it through cams, saw the shape moving like back when it was first introduced. Edit: nevermind he has it also later.
really not sure how I feel about this update. on one hand i love the idea of restarting and using all the items from the ground up, but I really feel like the grind to get to tier 3 or even 2 is very very long winded for average players who play every now and then and dont hardcore grind this game. I also feel like it really alienates new players by forcing them to use tier 1 items. I got one of my pals into the game to try this new update and they already are put off by the amount of sheer grinding that they will have to do to not have awful items. the items like the video cam and the spirit box are functionally terrible too at tier 1. I literally do not want to bring them with me as personally they are a detriment as opposed to helpful. Take what I say with a grain of salt though of course, as I could be living with nostalgia goggles and miss the tier 2 items lol. Will when you do eventually prestigee will you have to use the tier 1 items again and re-grind through the levels?
How the fuck are the video cam and spirit box a detriment? The cam lets you see in the dark and the spirit box lets you... I don't know, get a vital part of the evidence for certain ghosts??
@@hazeltree7738because the video cam is awful and sees half a meter in front of it and the spirit box is so unpredictable to use at tier 1 that its not enjoyable to use like the other tier 1 items. even insym says that the tier 1 video cam and spirit box are awful lol
Insym "Para mic tier 1 is bad" my experience with it thus far is the first game I unlocked it I brought it in instead of emf on willow cause I wanted to try it out. I walked downstairs and instantly got a banshee scream 10/10 S Tier item.
True that the glowstick is better cause you can just drop it at the prints and take a photo right away. And before someone says "but it takes longer to charge the prints" that has no effect on the stars you get for the photo, only the position of the prints and the whole point of charging the prints is so they last longer before they fade out so you can take a photo in time but the glowstick having an aoe simply makes the prints stay fully charged as long as the glowstick does, making the whole "slow charge" weakness not a weakness, plus its not an electronic equipment so you can even use it during a hunt to move around while having an okay-ish light source with no threat of being tracked. I think the devs should make it possible to shake it only once,making it used 2 times before its fully discharged so that the t2/3 uv lights at least have something to counter the glowstick
just played the new update for the first time last night. we were trying to figure out who was messing with the cam because we didnt know the ghost could throw cameras now
insym talking about how smart he is and then dying to a deogen like a minute later and that plate getting yeeted while he was trying to take a photo?? these ghosts man
I guess Sound Sensor is now good way to tell Yurei, because it shows values to the sound. Yurei's ability gave like 40% of sound on the sensor where as normal door touch gave like 25%, that's cool
Last Yurei I had was before the update, and it spammed its ability so much that it made it genuinely difficult since I was going for a perfect game. I got at least 6 Yurei abilities, 2 of which happened back to back.
Um i disagree about the tier 1 para mic in fact ive found the ghost room everytime with only an error of a room behind it or it be the room im in. The range is a bit weird but im loving it
Ok. So im not competely new to the game. But new enought that i need to know. How do i find the ghost room easily, and HOW do i keep from dying to said hunting ghost?
I love new photo camera. Polaroid feels so nice and climactic. And the photos looks so nice and it has a major upside towards other cameras - it's non electric and since I'm kinda the main photographer in my group, I don't have to worry about my cam being noticed during a hunt or it triggering Raiju. I also love new sound sensors - they are actually useful now plus I can see them being very useful for truck dwellers (be it someone scared, Banshee target or bad looper in no incense/sanity situation), since currently they can find 4 evidences just by being in the truck (orbs, dots, emf and believe it or not, writing). I believe with right room and setup you could even monitor temperature and uv. It literally feel like with sound and motion sensors you can actually be a ghost stalker, monitoring their every action. Also can't wait to hear what it detects in Sunny Meadows. About dots, they're interesting and placed well they can outclass t2, I think. With 2 t1s placed in nice, high spot you could (f.e. one on each side of countertop in Tanglewood pointed at table can basically light up the whole dinning area). I just wish tripods could be used for other stuff than cameras, so you could do things like place dots on them for bigger area. And of course, thermometer is like during most of Phasmo history, very powerful. Especially t1, considering how instantly you can find a ghost room with it (just go to breaker, then walk around, slight drop in scale means there's a ghost). But, despite all that, I feel like with just t1s I just shouldn't go further than farmhouses, even camps feel like too much for how poorly some of the evidence items can perform (especially Spirit Box and (note)Book)
not gonna lie the tier 1 paramic has saved me a few minutes every once in a while. Really helps catch ghost interactions (most often them chucking an object), but of course it takes some finangling to catch the sounds with it.
The two DOTS pens is something we figured out earlier today. It works well. Obviously CJ knows what he is talking about, but yeah, we discovered that. Good tip for DOTS
The fact that you dont get Tier 2 stuff until level 20 makes me not really want to play phas anymore. They definitely made it a game for people who just grind it daily. I barely even think about phas. Its probably a once a month thing if anything.

I just wanna ask, is the parabolic mics good for larger maps on harder difficulties then?
If it's useless for small maps, surely it's good for larger ones right?
Tier 1 Thermometer can look like 0° C but actually be 1° C - be careful !
yeah the difference between 1 and 0 is so tiny.
its better to wait for it to be blatantly below the line.
If it's gonna be below 0, it's pretty clearly -3 or more. I haven't had freezing temps yet where I really had to closely scrutinize the thermometer.
On the contrary, I've never seen precisely 0 either. It's either a solid 1, or it's -0.5. If it's 0, it's not freezing and has no debate. I guess it's kinda like a polter now, if you have to question it, then it's not.
I usually wait until I see the black bar of the thermo, then some white, and then the red. If there is no white between the black and red, I won't take it as freezing.
Can you make a new beginner guide for this new update?
T1 para mic is not that bad,I've tested,you can hear knocks on windows,items being thrown and footrests from far away.not being able to hear right next to you is working as intended imo,its a focused tool
Its not garbage,but I wouldn't say its super great either....ehh T1
@@therealtoxsinzgamingdid you forgot to change account or what xd? Couldn't resist the urge to ask
can confirm off the tripod it yeets the camra, ive even had it happen twice in one game
also you can set T1 dots on ground and watch through cam in truck, it still works
Insym: *talking about the sound sensors*
ghost: oh your talking about them? here let me do a car alarm
There is one thing about tha parabolic mic. only advantage it have over tier 2 and 3, is that it's not electronic. that means that the ghost won't be able to detect it while on i think. only thing i can think of is if someone was to cause a hunt at the start, a person might be able to find where the ghost spawn from maybe
Loving this update so far, though I'm worried about changes like slowing down smudge sticks and etc.
it really feels like the developers either dislike their players or have an extremely stubborn sense of balancing that they refuse to look past (ie, summoning circle is still literally useless)
It's crazy to me that new and inexperienced players are forced to deal with unreliable items, a newbie trying to learn the spirit box is going to struggle so much for no reason while a veteran will have the best tool available
I do love that the tier one thermo is an outdoor thermometer. Literally and old-school metal outdoor thermometer. It's funny because the warmth from your hand should make it warmer... lol Phasmo hands are ambient temperature I guess.
45:25 as an electronics engineer of some kind i can assure you it may be not electronic, or alternatively the current in it is so low that Raiju doesn't care. Well. "not electronic" to a certain extent, it should have wires. Or maybe it's just magnetic, though LEDs say otherwise
We did build EMF from scratch just for the memes and it wasn't using source of energy as it just detected presence of electro-magnetic field.
When there's change in magnetic field - it can make change in the current of wire. Literally the way DC transformer work. I assume it draws current from ghost's presence and it's interactions (at least it could), maybe capacitors even to have little charge for LEDs to work, they don't need much, so
I wish a level requirment wouldnt be so high , as casual player at best ill reach tear 2 after a month or two
agree. its very very grindy right now
its funny when youre describing the spirit box cause thats how the old box was for me. it was to the point we learned how to find spirit box ghosts with other means cause we could never get it to work.
small improvement to the dots: you can throw the dots on the ground and still see dots with the cam, for the scared van sitting players like me. But also when you are in the Room. you just need to consider the correct placement, so it works like t2 with a little draw back.
put the T1 Video cam on the garage and place it on one of the red carts , thats the hot spot for ghosts to topple video cams multiple times , for me, a few times on 1 run or once on multiple runs.
Now that I think about it, buying better meds would increase moroi tests significantly (since it's not instant anymore). Making T2 slightly better than T1 for that
I have had this game since day 1 and it was instantly my favorite horror game. Insym only made it that much better playing along side him and learning the mechanics. I will be buying it for console as well when that releases just to further support the devs. I cant wait for the new animations.
The game looks fun although i can't buy it rn so imma just save
I hope starting at pres 0 is not bad (if i get it)
0:02 Insym says "welcome" in cursive
Started playing this update yesterday but didn't get the badge thing at the start. Thought it was just a bug and continued on because everything else was as it should be for the new update. I reached level 18 last night and completed the challenge to get the 5k. This morning when I played again, the badge thing popped up and EVERYTHING ended up resetting. Zero money and back to level 1 😭. Other than that and the lag, been having a lot of fun. Really great update.
my guess with the sanity pill is they want more people doing the one man in the truck, 3 men in the house, so that they can relay sanity numbers and let them stay sane longer in the house. This way, once people get everything in, if events happen immediately, then sanity meds can be taken in the house and set up/testing can continue for longer without hunts.
5:30 I don't know if it's worth upgrading, I've had a ghost knock over a camera on a tripod in 2 games since the update and it still wasn't much of a hinderance other than being like oh hey it knocked the camera over. Also, cameras and the computer are bugged as hell, headcams don't work, you can only see 1 cam at a time, if have 2 cameras out, including headcams, whoever is in the truck can't cycle through cameras, not even static cameras on the maps like highschool.
2:00:24 woah, that was absolutely perfect, love it.
Spirit Box has never been 100% for me, even before this update. Even when I was standing right on top of the ghost after a ghost event, if I didn't get a response, I couldn't rule it out. In the most extreme example, I was once playing in a team of 4, and 3 of us spent 3 to 5 minutes each in the ghost room trying to get Spirit Box because we weren't getting anything else. When the 4th player walked in, she got a response instantly.
Got to level 95 tonight. Tier 3 items are godlike.
When the ghost set off the damn car alarm I jumped up & ran to my car XD Holy shit its midnight here & I have had people try to break into my car before. Damn you Insym!
I’m newer to phas but you’ve become one of my favorite RUclipsrs & streamers to watch every since!! You’re amazing!
dang bro insym more like crazsym i cant even image how hard it is to do some many videos in just 2 days!!! Good job insym dont forget to take breaks aswell!
Also streaming every day
yeah like insym does not take breaks, i really hope that he takes breaks more usually@@johnohanlon422
i dont know if dots changed, but i recently picket up Phasmo again after stopping to play back when the new Horro 2.0 or what it was called update came.
Dots yesterday for me workel like the old one, i put it on the ground and watched it through cams, saw the shape moving like back when it was first introduced.
Edit: nevermind he has it also later.
I've had a couple cameras thrown about. It's pretty funny when you check cams on the truck.
does the deogen still have its spirit box ability
really not sure how I feel about this update. on one hand i love the idea of restarting and using all the items from the ground up, but I really feel like the grind to get to tier 3 or even 2 is very very long winded for average players who play every now and then and dont hardcore grind this game. I also feel like it really alienates new players by forcing them to use tier 1 items. I got one of my pals into the game to try this new update and they already are put off by the amount of sheer grinding that they will have to do to not have awful items.
the items like the video cam and the spirit box are functionally terrible too at tier 1. I literally do not want to bring them with me as personally they are a detriment as opposed to helpful.
Take what I say with a grain of salt though of course, as I could be living with nostalgia goggles and miss the tier 2 items lol. Will when you do eventually prestigee will you have to use the tier 1 items again and re-grind through the levels?
How the fuck are the video cam and spirit box a detriment? The cam lets you see in the dark and the spirit box lets you... I don't know, get a vital part of the evidence for certain ghosts??
@@hazeltree7738because the video cam is awful and sees half a meter in front of it and the spirit box is so unpredictable to use at tier 1 that its not enjoyable to use like the other tier 1 items. even insym says that the tier 1 video cam and spirit box are awful lol
@@dracul_gras sounds like a skill issue lol
@@dracul_grasthat’s not detrimental; maybe it’s not that helpful, but having them doesn’t make your play through worse then not having them at all
Insym "Para mic tier 1 is bad" my experience with it thus far is the first game I unlocked it I brought it in instead of emf on willow cause I wanted to try it out. I walked downstairs and instantly got a banshee scream 10/10 S Tier item.
True that the glowstick is better cause you can just drop it at the prints and take a photo right away. And before someone says "but it takes longer to charge the prints" that has no effect on the stars you get for the photo, only the position of the prints and the whole point of charging the prints is so they last longer before they fade out so you can take a photo in time but the glowstick having an aoe simply makes the prints stay fully charged as long as the glowstick does, making the whole "slow charge" weakness not a weakness, plus its not an electronic equipment so you can even use it during a hunt to move around while having an okay-ish light source with no threat of being tracked. I think the devs should make it possible to shake it only once,making it used 2 times before its fully discharged so that the t2/3 uv lights at least have something to counter the glowstick
I'd like to see the ghosts brake the tier 1 thermo like they do with the lights; I just think it would be interesting to see.
just played the new update for the first time last night. we were trying to figure out who was messing with the cam because we didnt know the ghost could throw cameras now
I love the glowstick, but when it rolls under an object you can't move, you're SOL lmao
39:13 you could place it just hold f or wtv you’re interaction button is
you can actually drop T1 DOTS in tables or kitchen counters and point it to the ghost room so you can see it more without holding it.
yup, drop it on something elevated, pointing across a room horizontally, and it functions like other dots just fine.
insym talking about how smart he is and then dying to a deogen like a minute later
and that plate getting yeeted while he was trying to take a photo?? these ghosts man
Please do the multiplayer gameplay with Psycho and CJ. We want to see multiplayer gameplay also.
I guess Sound Sensor is now good way to tell Yurei, because it shows values to the sound. Yurei's ability gave like 40% of sound on the sensor where as normal door touch gave like 25%, that's cool
i wanna see the "use dots laser pointer as flashlight" challenge
I'm back to Phasmo after more than 1 year. Very useful. Thanks!
I wish the yurei door slam would actually be a slam instead of this weird door closing with a delayed noise thing
for tier 1 thermo i just find the ghost room and drop it and check later for freezing temps
Last Yurei I had was before the update, and it spammed its ability so much that it made it genuinely difficult since I was going for a perfect game. I got at least 6 Yurei abilities, 2 of which happened back to back.
Um i disagree about the tier 1 para mic in fact ive found the ghost room everytime with only an error of a room behind it or it be the room im in. The range is a bit weird but im loving it
how does deo special ability sound with the new spirit box?
1:03:17 I feel called out XD I literally am taking notes for when I play with my friends XD
I keep getting outran by the ghosts around the car, or tables... wtf am i doing wrong? I even turn flashlight off sometimes
Ok. So im not competely new to the game. But new enought that i need to know. How do i find the ghost room easily, and HOW do i keep from dying to said hunting ghost?
you already know i just watched this whole vid start to end in the span of 9 hours
lets go
I love new photo camera. Polaroid feels so nice and climactic. And the photos looks so nice and it has a major upside towards other cameras - it's non electric and since I'm kinda the main photographer in my group, I don't have to worry about my cam being noticed during a hunt or it triggering Raiju.
I also love new sound sensors - they are actually useful now plus I can see them being very useful for truck dwellers (be it someone scared, Banshee target or bad looper in no incense/sanity situation), since currently they can find 4 evidences just by being in the truck (orbs, dots, emf and believe it or not, writing). I believe with right room and setup you could even monitor temperature and uv. It literally feel like with sound and motion sensors you can actually be a ghost stalker, monitoring their every action. Also can't wait to hear what it detects in Sunny Meadows.
About dots, they're interesting and placed well they can outclass t2, I think. With 2 t1s placed in nice, high spot you could (f.e. one on each side of countertop in Tanglewood pointed at table can basically light up the whole dinning area). I just wish tripods could be used for other stuff than cameras, so you could do things like place dots on them for bigger area.
And of course, thermometer is like during most of Phasmo history, very powerful. Especially t1, considering how instantly you can find a ghost room with it (just go to breaker, then walk around, slight drop in scale means there's a ghost).
But, despite all that, I feel like with just t1s I just shouldn't go further than farmhouses, even camps feel like too much for how poorly some of the evidence items can perform (especially Spirit Box and (note)Book)
not gonna lie the tier 1 paramic has saved me a few minutes every once in a while. Really helps catch ghost interactions (most often them chucking an object), but of course it takes some finangling to catch the sounds with it.
The two DOTS pens is something we figured out earlier today. It works well. Obviously CJ knows what he is talking about, but yeah, we discovered that. Good tip for DOTS
10:49 you can do the stick shaker, huh? The stick shaker, gimme the stick shaker, shake your glowstick
Also i keep using the screen for detecting EMF 5 and its giving me ghosts without EMF 5 on their clues...what am i doing wrong?!
The fact that you dont get Tier 2 stuff until level 20 makes me not really want to play phas anymore. They definitely made it a game for people who just grind it daily. I barely even think about phas. Its probably a once a month thing if anything.
