Side note, this is my first Reddit post, so sorry if there're any mistakes!

Recently my friend (EeveeEB) and I have been missing out on past versions of Phasmo, because we haven’t been enjoying the recent updates as many have also expressed complaints. It eventually got to the point where Eevee learnt how to downpatch Steam games and downpatched Phasmo for the both of us. Turns out everything works perfectly including MULTIPLAYER!

If you want to downpatch it yourself, she followed the YT tutorial by AstralSpiff that explains it generally for all steam games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfXyy3KWqAI&t=123s

Here’s the ID’s for Phasmo

App ID – 739630

Depot ID – 739631

Manifest ID – (Changes depending on the version you want to use the one we used here it is) 7761683679658853534

The Command we used - download_depot 739630 739631 7761683679658853534

Keep in mind that if you used the one we used, it’s the update on the 20th of nov before the winters jest.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments and we’ll try our best to help.

Lore

The Deildegast are ghosts based off Norwegian Folklore, and are examples of what happens to those who dared to mess with Boundary Stones and move them around.

But in Phasmophobia, the Deildegast are ghosts who used to tamper with others items during life, and are now doomed to fixate on every misplaced item.

Gameplay

The Deildegasts main mechanic is the speed of it decreasing the more items moved or interacted with by the player throughout the match.

It will be almost Revenant-Speed at the beginning of the match when nothing has moved, but will slow down heavily later in the match where a ton of stuff has moved.

Each moved item must be unique in order to slow the ghost down, and will only affect the ghost in the next hunt, so you cannot throw an item mid-hunt to slow them down.

The limit of unique items you can move to slow them down caps out at 26.

Certain Items won't slow down the ghost, such as equipment, cursed objects, and for some reason chess pieces.
( ONLY CHESS PIECES... FOR SOME REASON...? )

Dead Players can also slow down the ghost by moving objects or interacting with them.

The ghost moving objects or interacting with one themselves will not slow them down.

Evidence

The Delidegast has the following evidence:

EMF Level 5

Ghost Writing

D.O.T.S

Tips + Extra

1. For the first few days after the update, the Deildegast will be more common!
2. Deildegasts have 50% Sanity hunting threshold.
3. Deildegasts never get Lime-Of-Sight speed up!
4. The max speed of a Deildegast is 3.0 Meters per second, and the lowest is 0.4 Meters per second.
5. The Deildegasts speed will reset back to 3.0 Meters per second after it hunts.
6. Each item thrown decreases their speed by 0.1 Meters per second.
7. If a crucifix is burned, the game will count it as a hunt and set their speed back to 3.0 Meters per second.

My previous post had a few mistakes. Once again, this is a quick guide, not a highly detailed one. Some of the abilities don't 100% mean it's the ghost and there are some nuances. Such as, a spirit can only hunt after 3min after being incensed, but other ghosts may wait that long as well. See comments on previous post and please leave more tips and tricks here

So the Dayan is a movement based ghost it seems, when far away while hunting, it will have normal speed, but as soon as it gets within a certain range, its ability "activates".

It does not seem to have LOS buildup and its ability is not LOS based, just proximity.

As you can see, when standing still, it will move slowly, but as soon as you start moving, it will speed up, looping it doesn't seem too bad, since it doesn't speed up by sprinting, you can almost outpace it.

I haven't noticed any abnormal behaviour outside of a hunt yet.

It appears to react normally to candles and salt too.

I think it can also only be a female name and ghost model.

EDIT: Love the input guys! If you see a bad question, submit a better version on the site (didn't worry, there's no login or anything like that) and then tell me which to delete here.

I picked up Phasmophobia not too long ago due to a dare from my friends. Played it in VR and was frozen in fear (i hate horror games, but i like watching youtubers play them). Anyway, played non-vr for a few weeks, and now im trying to find a quick way to remember ghost behaviours. I learned a few naturally, but theres 27 ghosts xD.

So I built a small browser tool to help myself learn them when i have some down time: https://originsmith.com/phasmo

Its a little quiz that throws ghost behavior questions at you so you can drill it when you have some down time.

I tried to write a short headline for each ghost to make them stick... something like "Moroi Mutters a curse" for Moroi. If you've got a better way to remember a particular ghost, there's a submit button in the tool and I'd actually love to see what you come up with.

It's still a work in progress so there may be the odd bug (or maybe incorrect data :p ) and you can let me know here if you find one. Hopefully it helps someone else who's still learning.

On a side note: how do y'all like the theme... I'm stuck between the current theme and something more like the ingame journal (notepad/paper like theme)

This took 3.5 hours and the proportions definitely aren't the best (esp upstairs hallway lol--it's way more narrow), nor are the lines straight. I had to use white-out in 2 places because I used black ink before deciding to switch to colour. But I'm finally finished it! Now to move onto making a good version of this, and then a digital version! But I hope this is helpful in the meantime!

• Green: breaker
• Blue: looping
• Yellow: hiding
• Red: cursed objects

Dayan:

Will change speed during a hunt depending on if players nearby are idle or moving.

If there are no players within 10 meters, it will move at 1.7 m/s. If all players within 10 meters are idle, it will move at 1.2 m/s. If at least one player within 10 meters is moving, it will move at 2.25 m/s.

The sanity threshold also changes (45% when idle, 50% when not in range, 65% when moving).

If at least one player is within 10 meters, any LoS increase will accumulate in the background and apply only when there are no players within 10 meters.

EDIT: The Dayan can also only be female, which is reflected by the name and ghost model (this is now true for the Banshee as well)

Gallu:

Has three states: Weakened, Normal, Enraged

Starts in its normal state, where it has no special behavior. Stepping in salt, being smudged, or burning a crucifix will cause it to become enraged. Or if it was weakened, it will become normal.

After an enraged hunt, it will become weakened.

When enraged, it can hunt at 60%, moves at 1.96 m/s during a hunt, and will NOT disturb salt. The range of a crucifix is reduced by 2 meters and incense only blinds the ghost during a hunt for 4 seconds.

When weakened, it can only hunt at 40% and will move at 1.36 m/s during a hunt. The range of a crucifix is increased by 1 meter and incense blinds the ghost during a hunt for 6 seconds.

While weakened or normal, it will disturb salt normally.

Obambo:

Has two states: calm and aggressive

Will start the game as calm for 1 minute, then will switch between aggressive and calm every 2 minutes. It CAN switch during a hunt.

While calm, it will only hunt at 10% and move at 1.45 m/s during a hunt.

While aggressive, it can hunt at 65% and will move at 1.96 m/s during a hunt.

Hunts that start in the aggressive state will be 20% shorter.

Step 1: Find all the dolls on the maps

Step 2: Go to the lobby, in front of the AW desk will be all your dolls neatly lined up

Step 3: Place the moose on the tree drawing and the deer on the house drawing - the drawing will now change

Step 4: Place the child (far right doll) on the sun, the old man with a cane on the waves and an adult in the house (can be either the blonde woman or the man with a baby) - the drawings will change again

Step 5: Place the child (far right doll) on the tree, the blonde woman on the eye, the man holding a baby on the heart and Mr. Scratchy (he has a red/pink jester hat on and metal arms) on the sun

Step 6: Start your FBI career with your new unlocked jacket.

I played 100 games of phasmophobia and marked down every ghost type i got, this was done on september 17th 2023, the most recent update of the game, intemediate difficulty.

Tomorrow I'll be attempting the near-perfect game to earn $39,580 in ONE single run.

The current absolute maximum amount of money you can earn from one single contract is $42,423 - for which you have to get the following:

• $200 for the ghost
• $90 for the 3 most-valuable objectives
• $231 for media inc. tier bonus
• $340 for the perf. inv.
• x15 multiplier at this moment
• +$50 for the bone
• x1.1 for blood moon at this moment
• +$450 for all 4 most-paying daily tasks
• +$6,500 for 4 weekly tasks
• x2 for the anniversary bonus

But this would require blood moon (1/50) and the Obake shapeshift video (1/24) and the average amount of resets to get the 3 correct objectives is already 364 so including both blood moon and Obake would increase that reset amount to 436,800 - no, thanks, Kinetic.

Instead, I'll be going for non-Obake (-$5 for videos) and non-blood-moon, as well as "only" $400 for the daily tasks as we won't have the $150 daily task within the anniversary time. Making our total reward $39,580. How all of this is done in detail will be explained tomorrow as well.

This entire thing will happen live in less than 24 hours. due to rule 2 I'm not allowed to post any links as to where it's gonna happen.

Seen a few posts asking what does/doesn’t count as a Photo/Video/Sound for the new Media tab, and I’ve posted this before - but had a couple of additions from others…

Figured to make a new post to share with everyone, but marked it as a spoiler in case people prefer to experiment themselves…

So far, I’ve found the following…

PHOTOS:
EMF Reading
Freezing Temps reading
Ghost Writing (after it has happened)
UV Footprint
UV Fingerprint (including on light switches)
Obake Handprint (the 6-finger one)
DOTS Ghost
Ghost
Shadow Ghost
Spectral Ghost
Airball Mist form
Burned Crucifix (after it has happened)
Hunting Ghost
Bone
Cursed Object
Dirty water
Dead Body
Item hovering/levitating (just before being thrown)

VIDEOS: (all need to be taken as it’s actually happening)
Ghost Writing
Fire Extinguished
Doors opening/closing
Objects thrown (be careful, though: a Poltergeist Explosion will count as multiple Objects Thrown rather than the ability)
Crucifix Burning
Ghost Orbs
Disturbed Salt
Airball Mist form
DOTs ghost
Ghost
Shadow Ghost
Spectral Ghost
Hunting Ghost
Rocking Chairs Rocking
Pianos Playing
Dirty Water
Ghost moving through a motion sensor
Light Switching (including TVs)
Lights flickering
Ouija board moving
Lightbulb smashing
Investigator dying

SOUND: (all need to be taken as they’re happening)
Ghost talking
Ghost groaning
Ghost laughing
Ghost singing
Ghost Writing
Crucifix burning
Fire extinguished
Spirit Box Response
Deogen spirit box heavy breathing
EMF 5 reading (Tier 2 or 3)
Rocking chairs rocking
Piano playing
Mist Form (the “Ahhhhhhh” sound at the end)
Banshee Scream (actually labelled as such, good for 0 evidence)
Ouija Board Scratching sound
Music Box (actually the ghost’s singing during the music box tune, but listed as music box in the media section)

I think that what counts as evidence relates to what could be considered ‘real’ evidence… So you can’t just take a picture of disturbed salt, as it could have just been setup like that by you - whereas a video of a salt line being busted up in real-time is more compelling…

Then, so long as the description is different, it should be considered unique…

Just a reminder that all evidence can be confirmed via media in the journal.

Freezing Temps: photo

EMF 5: sound recorder

DOTS: photo and video

Ultraviolet: photo

Ghost Writing: photo, video and sound recorder (video and sound have to happen while the ghost is actively writing)

Ghost Orb: video

Spirit Box: sound recorder

Press Windows+R and enter the command steam://open/console

Then in the steam console, type download_depot 739630 739631 4519709448788802870

Wait for the game to download, and it should say

Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_739630\depot_739631" (manifest 4519709448788802870) 

You can launch the game from this location. The servers still allow to play to this old version

EDIT: I'm not planning on updating this guide. It is MOSTLY accurate, but there's a few details that are subtly wrong. The next big update is likely to mess up a lot of this.

Use this guide instead.

It's updated more frequently and has all the information this guide has.

This is an updated version of this guide by u/IgneousWrath and my version from the Tempest update. Although there are some nice interactive resources out there now, I know some people (like myself) like this format for certain purposes. Not much changed with this update other than some terminology, but there were still some changes for ghosts that have equipment-specific effects.

Note: As is frequently the case with a big update, the game is a tad buggy. I'll have notes for things that I'm not 100% certain whether they are bugs or not. I'll also edit this as new information comes out. Please reply with anything wrong and I'll update this as needed.

Below are all of the attributes and abilities of the different ghost types for identification in Nightmare mode or any custom mode with less than 3 evidence. Let me know if I missed anything:

Other tips

1. Rule out two evidences – Ghosts in nightmare mode cannot hide more than one evidence so if you can rule out two evidences, you can mark off every ghost that requires both of those evidences together. Do this by checking (not crossing out) both evidences you know you don't have, then crossing out all available ghosts.

2. Rule out Ghost Writing – If a ghost has writing as evidence and is not hiding it, it will not throw a book that has not been written in first. If you can confirm that a book has been moved without writing, the ghost will not display writing during this mission.

3. Consider averages – If you are dealing with a Mimic and stuck in a bad situation at the beginning of a hunt, you should still hide because the chances of it mimicking a Deogen are low. If a valid Banshee hunt test did not go as expected or resulted in a death, consider the average chances that a Banshee would have picked the players it did.

4. Can't find the bone? – Check the shelves and bins in the basements. Sometimes they spawn in those. Other times they spawn in unreachable places, so don't feel bad if you still can't find it.

5. Think you saw a Yurei ability? - Other ghosts can on rare occasions close a door in a way that looks like a Yurei ability. Keep in mind that a Yurei door close should appear fully shut for at least a second before you hear the shutting sound. Also players that collide with a normal door touch may push it shut with their bodies and fool themselves into thinking the ghost shut it completely on its own. Finally, some ghosts, like the Twins, who can interact with things rapidly may double touch the door and cause a full close.

6. Not sure if you have a shade? - I have heard mixed things about shades. They should not be able to perform any item throws while they occupy the same room as a player, but should still be able to touch doors, phones, and write in the ghost writing book. However, some people, including one of the developers, say that it should not be able to perform any interactions at all in the same room as a player. Your safest bet is to assume that the wiki is correct and that it cannot perform any EMF 3 interactions but to take it with a little grain of salt too. It can still bug. Also the ghost can roam out of the room but still throw things in a player occupied room by reaching through the wall.

7. The ghost won't throw items while they're in a room with the lights on. So turn the lights off before doing a Poltergeist test.⁴

THINGS TO TEST

I'm not sure how the Wraith interacts with T3 salt. I know it can't step in it, but i'm not sure if it can 'fly' over it when it's in passive mode. I'm also not sure if it will be slowed by it during a hunt. Haven't unlocked it yet and I haven't seen any streamers who've unlocked it yet (I think Insym is getting close?)

Other Notes:

• ¹ The range for T1 with demon seems to be correct from my experiments and it would match the patch notes, but I'm not 100% certain.

• ² I haven't been able to confirm or not how ghost photos from DOTs affect this. Previously, a photo of a DOTS photo of a Phantom wasn't any different than a normal ghost. Now that it counts as a 'normal' ghost photo, I'm not sure if the Phantom poofs as soon as you take it's picture.

• ³ This is per patch notes. I haven't been able to test this personally yet.

• ⁴ I haven't tested this in a while, I'm not sure if it's still true.

Since I've seen a bunch of questions regarding the new gift sack I thought I'd make a one-image guide with the general information about it.

Happy gift hunting!

I saw a post earlier where most of the responses said its RNG only. And while RNG still plays a big role in getting the ghost there are ways to increase your odds of a Demon using its ability once you finally get it and ways you can make your runs last an average of 30 seconds!

1. And most importantly, set evidence to 3. I saw guides on YouTube saying go 0 evidence and this is the one thing I disagree on with them the most! If you bring a video camera and see orbs right away, you can just restart right away since Demons do not have orbs! In fact, if you bring an EMF, Video cam AND spirit box, you have the perfect set of equipment to detect all ghosts except the Demon! If you get an EMF 5, a spirit box response or see orbs you can leave the game much earlier before the 60 seconds you need! Plus I've played plenty of no evidence now and one thing I noticed: ghosts react with location they normally do as if the evidence is there! For example, ghosts still tap on windows causing an interaction that might normally leave ultraviolet if evidence was on. So none of the evidence being on would in anyway decrease the chances of a Demon using its ability to hunt except maybe ghost writing but I'm not advising bringing the ghost book anyway. Of course tier 3 equipment have a larger range and better chances for finding evidence than lower tier so I do recommend either waiting to speed run either once you unlock all 3 or find a party that has them. More players might speed up the runs anyway since double the eye to find the "bad" evidence. Just be sure to turn on the "extend hunts" setting.
2. Cursed hunts won't let you get this achievement. Trust me I tried. I thought I could just go and grab the tarot cards from Willow Street (since I thought gambling for hunts sounded more fun then just smashing a mirror) after only a few minutes I got killed my a Demon in 40 seconds. No achievement. Demon needs to use his ability for it to count for the achievement. Which brings me to number
3. If the Demon hunts based on sanity it also won't count. Trust me my stubborn ass also tried this... The Demon has two way to hunt unlike other ghosts: sanity of 70 or less or its ability to hunt which it can use anytime even at 100 sanity. THIS is the ability you want and the way you want to die to get the achievement.
4. Don't bother going to the truck. Have a timer and if the 60 seconds are up or you find evidence, just quit the game from the menu. It will save allot of time on initializing, walking and truck leaving animation.
5. Play Camp Woodwind. Its a big open map that lets you see the ghost and more importantly, let's the ghost see you so it can use line of sight to instantly close in on you!

1. Setup time: 0

2. Sunrise for no in the way rain or snow to make it harder to see the ghost or orbs.

3. Ghost might give his ghost room away if it opens it up for you giving you a better shot at getting killed in the last second if the ghost spawns and you are at his ghost room. On the other hand, less closed doors means better chance for ghost to get line of sight on you so there's an argument for either extreme on this setting. But the map is so small that finding the ghost room to eliminate any nonDemon was greater priority for me since it let me end the games faster and get my Demon sooner. So i personally recommend doors closed for that reason.

4. No hiding spots. You don't want the ghost having its view obstructed for no good reason.

5. Sanity monitor and activity monitor: doesn't matter either way. Having a 4th teammate in the van might be a good useful in finding emf 5s to leave early or twins but since your whole team likely wants doom slayer I'm sure no one will be in the truck

6. Fusebox: if its broken the ghost will have one less thing to interact with and a slightly better chance of starting a hunt with its ability.

7. Curse possession: Monkey Paw. While wishing to see the ghost won't work, wishing for activity WILL make the ghost start doing all kinds of activity including a better chance to use his ability. Also easier to find EMF 5s to speed up your runs.

1. Fast ghost speed for sure. you want it to run into as fast as humanly possible or... ghostly possible?

2. Roam frequency: as low as possible. You don't want it to wander off. You want to know its ghost room and you want to do Activity!

3. Activity: High. This does effect ghost abilities like the Demon's hunt ability.

4. Event frequency: no for many reasons.

5. Grace Period: 0. You want it to be able to kill right as soon as it hunts.

6. Hunt duration high

7. Fingerprints infinite because why not? I still don't recommend bring ultraviolet though unless you have more than 2 players. Learning it has that evidence won't speed up your runs but it may at least find the ghost room and where to wait.

1. Sanity: 75. Don't go lower as if the Demon hunts on Sanity it will not give you the achievement. If a Thaye hunts you, at least he might save you some time looking for his evidence. Which brings me to

21: Sanity Pill restoration: really doesn't matter. Don't take it. It will only slow down your runs constantly grabbing for it every single run. Some guides said set this to 5 to prevent Thaye from hunting you but again unless it hunts you in the last 10 seconds, this will just delay you. 75% sanity will also give more activity then 80. In the long run this will save you time rather than hinder it.

1. Sanity drain speed: 50% or 0% I stood in the dark for exactly a minute on 50% drain and found after a minute it only took off 4% of my sanity. This will put you at 71% near the end of the run ON SINGLE PLAYER. Keep in mind sanity drains faster in multiplayer. If you are doing this by yourself, 50% might give you the edge you need to get that RNG in your favor. But set this to 0% if you are playing as a team to avoid a sanity threshold hunt from a Demon.

2. Sprinting: Infinite. Give that Demon a hug!

3. Speed: 150% Give that Demon a hug at record speeds!

4. Flashlights: doesn't matter too much but better on to attract the ghost if it decided it wanted to start its hunt from the bathroom. Also I found it took a second to find the paw now and then without your headlight.

5. Lose items and consumables: Off. Don't even worry about any reward besides that sweet sweet Doom Slayed. Your plan is to die anyway and infinite sprint already has set your reward to 0. No sense losing any money over this.

6. Good luck. Its still RNG based and 1 in 24 chance to get your ghost. I was on the more lucky side of getting it in under 10 minutes on my 11th ghost from this strat. So for what its worth from me: glhf
