Master the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Phasmophobia offers a range of equipment to aid in ghost hunting, and the Parabolic Microphone stands out as a particularly effective tool. This guide details how to unlock and utilize this valuable asset.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment, requiring purchase from the in-game shop. Unlocking tiers depends on player level:
- Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7.
- Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31, costing $3,000 to upgrade.
- Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72, costing $5,000 to upgrade.
Up to two microphones can be equipped per investigation, regardless of team size. Note that prestiging resets progress, requiring re-unlocking of all tiers.
Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the in-game truck's equipment wall. Remember that Challenge Mode may not include it in the preset loadout. Activate/deactivate using the appropriate button. Tier 3 features a directional radar.
On medium and large maps, the Parabolic Microphone excels at pinpointing ghost locations through audio cues – sounds of objects being thrown, doors moving, or the ghost's voice. It's also crucial for completing optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable with this microphone, aiding in identification.
