How to Beat Poltergeist

Learn the best strategies and equipment to effectively identify and banish the Poltergeist in Phasmophobia. Master ghost hunting techniques and overcome this spectral threat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Identify the Ghost Type: Look for evidence such as EMF Level 5, Ghost Orbs, and Freezing Temperatures. The Poltergeist is known for its ability to throw multiple objects simultaneously, which can be a strong indicator.
  2. 2
    Utilize Equipment: Bring essential tools like EMF Readers, Thermometers, and Video Cameras. The Spirit Box can also be useful for gathering information.
  3. 3
    Observe Object Interaction: Pay close attention to how and when objects are thrown. A Poltergeist will often throw many items in quick succession, especially when agitated.
  4. 4
    Sanity Management: Keep your sanity levels high to reduce the chances of a hunt. Use Sanity Medication when necessary.
  5. 5
    Containment: If you can identify the Poltergeist's favorite room, consider using a Crucifix to deter hunts.
Tips
  • The Poltergeist's object-throwing ability is its most distinctive trait. If you see a room suddenly filled with thrown items, it's a strong clue.
  • Be cautious during hunts, as the Poltergeist can be very aggressive with its object throws.
  • Use the Parabolic Microphone to detect paranormal sounds, which might include the sounds of objects being thrown.
  • The Motion Sensor can also alert you to movement caused by thrown objects.
