Learn how to identify and defeat the Jinn ghost in Phasmophobia. This guide covers its unique behaviors, weaknesses, and effective strategies to ensure your team's survival and successful investigation.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Speed: The Jinn's movement speed increases significantly when its target is far away. This effect is negated if the target is within 3 meters (10 feet).
  • Territorial: The Jinn will not hunt if players are in the truck.
  • Electronics: The Jinn can disable electronics within its vicinity.

Phases:

  1. Initial Phase: The Jinn behaves like a standard ghost, with no special abilities active.
  2. Active Phase: The Jinn's speed increases when players are at a distance. It will also disable electronics in its area.

Strategy:

  • Utilize Distance: Keep your distance from the Jinn to trigger its speed boost, making it easier to evade during hunts.
  • Truck Safety: Remember that the Jinn cannot hunt while players are in the truck, providing a safe zone for planning.
  • Evidence Gathering: Use the Spirit Box to ask questions and look for Ghost Writing in books to confirm the Jinn's presence.
  • Sanity Management: Keep your sanity high to reduce the chances of a hunt.
  • Crucifixes: Place crucifixes strategically to prevent hunts in key areas.
