Master the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
The Parabolic Microphone is a valuable tool in Phasmophobia, aiding in ghost hunting. This guide details its unlocking and usage.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment. To acquire it, you must reach specific levels:
- 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.
Purchase upgrades via the in-game shop. You can equip up to two microphones, regardless of party size. Prestiging resets your progress, requiring you to unlock tiers again.
Using the Parabolic Microphone
Equip the microphone from the truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. Use the appropriate button to activate/deactivate it. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.
On medium/large maps, the microphone is invaluable for locating ghosts via sound (e.g., object throwing, door movement, voice). It can also help complete optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts (Deogen, Banshee) produce unique sounds only detectable by this microphone, aiding in identification.
