Phasmophobia is a cooperative horror game in which you compete against aggressive ghosts. Your task is to collect the necessary evidence and determine the type of ghost. This requires certain items in the game. In this guide we describe all existing items and divide them into levels.
Guides to Phasmophobia
If you are an avid Phasmophobia player, then you probably already know all the existing items and tools that help determine the type of ghost. However, with the last major update, they have received a breakdown by levels.
Radio
Acquired before the start of the main mission. It is necessary to communicate with spirits through your microphone. More details about the phrases that aggressive spirits understand can be found in a separate guide.
It is recommended to use the receiver before the start of the hunt and near the room where the ghost is located. Using this device, you can calculate Deogen based on the characteristic heavy breathing and Moroi based on the curse addressed to the player.
- 1st level: range – 3 meters, sound quality – low, response speed – low;
- 2nd level: range – 4 meters, sound quality – average, response speed – average;
- 3rd level: range – 5 meters, sound quality – high, response speed – high.
Remark: The radio receiver is one of the most difficult pieces of evidence to obtain. Regardless of whether the ghost answers everyone or singles, it is recommended that one player make contact after closing the door and turning off the light in the room with the ghost.
Notebook
A basic item that can be taken before starting a quest. If you drop it next to a ghost, there is a chance that the ghost will leave notes and you will get proof. You can also take a picture of the notebook while the ghost is writing or when it has finished writing. For such shots you get a maximum of $ 5 and 5 experience points.
- 1st level: range – 3 meters, ghost reaction speed – low;
- 2nd level: radius of action – 4 meters, ghost reaction speed – average;
- 3rd level: the range is 5 meters, the reaction speed of the mind is high.
Remark: Not all ghosts with the Notebook Clue will respond to it immediately. Sometimes you have to wait a very long time for activity to appear. So be patient.
Camera
Needed to record some evidence. It allows you to calculate the type of ghost or earn extra money. You can also use the flash to briefly illuminate the room.
- 1st level. Time between photo opportunity: high, no display.
- 2nd level. Time between opportunity to take a picture: average, there is a display, psychic interference – average;
- 3rd level. Time between photo opportunity: low, display present, psychic interference medium.
What can be captured with a camera:
- ghosts;
- Spirit interactions;
- hand and footprints;
- Cursed Items (Ouija board, music box, tarot cards, voodoo doll, summoning circle, monkey paw, and enchanted mirror);
- Corpse;
- Bone;
- notebooks;
- Destroyed crucifix.
Please note that the number of photos in the game magazine is limited.
camcorder
Needed to calculate ghost lights and navigate in the dark if you don’t have a flashlight. In addition, the video camera screen allows you to see what is happening, as if you were going through a night vision device.
- 1st level: image quality – low, psychic interference – high;
- 2nd level: image quality – average, psychic interference – average;
- 3rd level: the image quality is high, the psychic interference is low.
Tripod
Needed to secure a portable video camera. You simply place it on the floor or table, but thanks to the tripod you can secure the device anywhere in the room. True, for that you will have to carry it in your hands, because it is large and does not fit in your inventory.
- 1st level: probability of capsize – medium, no rotation control;
- 2nd level: the chance of capsizing is medium, there is rotation control;
- 3rd level: the probability of capsizing is low, there is rotation control.
Advice: While in the van, place the camera on a tripod to save space in your inventory.

- 2nd level: range – 1.7 meters, high accuracy, sound indicator is good;
- 3rd level: the range is 3.5 meters, high accuracy, the sound indicator is good, there is an indicator of the direction and distance to the ghost.

Incense
Once lit, they prevent the ghost from going into hunting mode. If it has already started, the incense will blind aggressive spirits for a few seconds. Range – 6 meters, burn time – 6 seconds. If a regular ghost is affected by incense, it cannot switch to hunting mode for 90 seconds. For the Ghost, this period lasts 180 seconds, for the Demon and Yurei – 60 seconds. This then returns to its favorite room for a certain amount of time.

Head-mounted camera
An ordinary video camera that leaves your hands free. It allows you to identify ghostly wisps that are considered clues. From this you can calculate Obake, Banshee, Mara, Revenant, Yurei, Hanta, Yokai, Onryo, Raiju and Taie. Pumping does not improve the properties of the item. At level 2 you get a headlamp and at level 3 you get night vision.
- 1st level (camera): image quality – medium, psychic noise – medium;
- 2nd level (flashlight): light intensity – low, directed light – narrow;
- 3rd level (night vision goggles): psychic interference – medium.

- 2nd level: sensor shape – cone, indicators (light and sound);

- 1st level: can be used 2 times;
- 2nd level: can be used 3 times;
- 3rd level: can be used 3 times, slow down the mind in hunting mode.
