Phasmophobia spirit box commands guide

How do you talk to ghosts in Phasmophobia? By now you've probably realised that the ghosts in Phasmophobia are a chatty bunch, or more like, they enjoy your soft whimpers into the dark corners of whatever house they've chosen to haunt.

As Phasmopobia is an online multiplayer game, where you can play with up to three friends. There's a lot of lively debate about the best course of action, but as you ghost hunters deliberate how best to rid the area of the unwanted spirit, they are actually listening in on your every word. If that wasn't scary enough, they will also respond to some of the pretty obvious things you'll say as you stumble blindly around corridors grasping a torch and clutching your chosen ghost-slaying device.

Out of the devices you can choose is the spirit box, a nifty tool that can be used to discover more information about the ghost you're hunting. Bear in mind that Phasmophobia's voice recognition can be a little off, but in our opinion, it's well worth the investment as a more subdued way of teasing your ghost out of its hiding spot.

Phasmophobia smudge sticks - how to use them

How do you use smudge sticks in Phasmophobia? For anyone that doesn't know, smudge sticks are neatly tied herbs used for healing, or in this case, warding off evil spirits. In real life, they can contain all manner of ingredients from rosemary to garlic and are often wafted through the air once lit to rid the area of a bad aura.

Using smudge sticks in Phasmophobia isn't about healing, though, it's about staying alive and these little garlicky parcels are super handy to cleanse an area of apparitions and buy yourself some more time for hunting. Smudge sticks are used in a lot of objectives and can be purchased from the menu using the in-game currency you've collected from previous missions. You can carry up to four smudge sticks, and will also need a lighter to use them.

Phasmophobia sanity effects guide: what happens when you hit 0 sanity

Phasmophobia sanity provides a measure for how scared each individual in your ghost-hunting team is. You'll enter a hunt completely sane and unafraid of the myriad things that go bump in the night. However, the longer you spend in a haunted location the lower your sanity level will go, and depending on how you spend that time you'll find yourself either relatively unscathed or a hallucinating, fraught bundle of nerves - both in-game and in real life.

Sanity is also measured as a group average, and if your average drops below a certain point the ghost will start initiating haunts and even hunts to start picking you off one by one. Naturally, you'll lose sanity as you're exposed to paranormal activity, so it's important to accept this is going to happen as a part of your investigation, but learn how to deal with it when you are at low sanity.

So, how do you gain or lose sanity during your investigations, what happens when you hit 0 sanity, and what tips can we offer to deal with this mechanic? Join us as we disassemble everything we know about the Phasmophobia sanity effects.
