You'll gather the courage to get out of the van more soon. I was just like that, only playing at Professional, no higher. Now I only play at 10x rewards and it's very fun to put your knowledge to the test once you're not afraid of the ghost. You will get there!
@@StrkezJr yes loll someone bought me the game so i could play it with them but it freaks me out so bad 😭🙏 (also trust ill get over it this year dont even worry xxxxxxx)
My husband wanted to do this but he was only level 50ish, i told him theres no chance if he doesnt have lvl at least 90. The madman did it, took him 2 days but he did it, im still speechless
28:23 Fun Fact specifically for Deogen, the Deogen compared to every other ghost has a very predictable blinking pattern, there for the ghost photo for the Deogen will also be easier to predict.
It would've made more sense for the Oni to have that blinking pattern. Right now, the Oni feels way too similar to a normal ghost unless you're really observant.
@@DizzyHotSauce "really observant" is the thing here. Once you have it in your memory though you'll get it easily. Oni flickering is sort of an inverse to normal ghost flickering. Most ghosts seem like they flicker into view, while this one either flickers rapidly or appears to be mostly visible, instead flickering OUT of view
Tier 3 parabolic is your friend on this map (if the ghost isn't right at the front door that is). My winning run was a Yurei and I heard a door slam downstairs on one of the wings. It was a guess at the end of the day but I had it narrowed down to few ghosts anyways.
Agreed. I think it's worth taking in an incence, crucifix and parabolic on your first enter. That way, if the ghost is far away, you can listen to it and test for Banshee and Poltergeist, and maybe even Yurei if you're lucky.
i've done the apocalypse a lot of times and i can confirm what you're saying... Tier 3 parabolic is the reason why the challenge is doable for me. can very easily do it without headgear due to chapels good lighting and Tier 4 candles. But without tier 3 parabolic i wouldn't really try it. Also, i've done 1 apocalypse with a yurei in a similar manner.. i literally heard a door slam almost as soon as i entered the map, the objectives i had were extremely easy so all i was doing is trying to get the photo... one of the easier challenges i've done. Yurei is a fine ghost when it actually does it's ability... it's a shame that yurei's can go like.. 3 hours without using it though.
Good tip I do is take a paramic (tier 3) in first and hid just in door and see if I can get a speed clue and location early and also check camera for bonus orbs :) it’s very unlikely but it’s possible :)
actually tho, I did bronze just to see if I could do it, and found orbs on the camera in the kitchen! Granted it was one evidence, but still ended up being a mimic! That blew my mind. now im just running gold over and over until I get a deo LOL
Insym, have wanted to ask for a long time, will you please turn up/push your game sounds stream side. If I turn my volume up I'm blown out by your voice (love your voice ). I never hear footsteps (unless it's close) or most other sounds in the distance you comment about hearing. You obviously hear them, often ask us or assume we hear them. Please and ty. Game is always quiet in comparison to your voice. Love your content. Grateful for you.
Just finished mine today. It was a deogen with the take a photo, escape the ghost, and burn an incense near the ghost challenges. The ghost room was right by the chapel. Easiest gold apocalypse ever lol.
I was lucky enough to get a Deogen while attempting this challenge. Unfortunately as I was leaving (with the ghost photo and all the objectives completed), the Deo did a last minute hunt while I was literally at the exit door, leaving me trapped (at that point I had run out of smudge sticks), almost like the situation you were in at 36:16. Except I died trying to move around the ghost. I never thought it was possible to feel that much despair in phas until that point. Easiest game to win and I fucked it, and after hours of grinding lol. I was literally right there!! With that said, I haven’t given up. I fully intend to complete the challenge eventually. Just a matter of time and patience. But that Deo game will leave a scar on my psyche lol.
Ohh my gosh last night was a thunderstorm at 10pm with the most lightning and thunder I've seen/heard in a few years. My weather! It also prevented some people from doing fireworks, yay lol. Ready for the streaamss!
hey insym! You should totally play Dark Hours with the boys. It’s a cool game where you rob a house but the house is haunted with some monsters. Your goal is to complete your goals and escape the house. It’s really fun, i promise you won’t regret it!!
Some tips for people below level 90 (I did the challenge at like level 70): you can use the tier 2 headcam with these filter settings on nvidia: Press alt+f3 to open the filters menu open the brightness/contrast filter change the exposure to 8, contrast to 8, highlights to 4, shadows to 0, and gamma to 100. This lets you see very well without a flashlight.
all your videos on this challenge helped me SO MUCH in achieving this! I got it with The Twins - made sure I listened to like 10 different hunts to hear the difference in speeds. I did reset a few for crappy objectives. Ironically one of those resets (I believe like my 4th attempt) was a Deogen. My heart sank when I thought how easily I could have done it. Overall, it took me like 3 hours and maybe 30-35 games. I only died twice. Good luck to any and all who attempt this challenge - it's no joke, but damn it feels good to have the trophies, badges and all the bragging rights!
Its so funny you posted this video. Yesterday(12/31/24) I set out to beat this challenge and just before I started I watched your last video on apoc gold. I took your advise from older videos and actually tried each one instead of skipping until I got a perfect round. Fortunately I got a deo on my third go, but I needed a ghost event. 33 minutes and 15 hunts later I got my gold, silver, and bronze trophy. Thanks for all the help and all the enjoyable content!
Thanks for all of the videos and helpful tips, man. I just got gold last night with my first ever correct mimic. Turned into a wraith and tried hunting on top of me, then became a deo. Luckiest run of my life
I’d recommend changing hunt duration to medium, it’s only 50 seconds instead of 60. If you’re cheesing for a deogen (resetting good objectives (Cleanse, Repel, Survive Hunt, Capture Photo, Firelight doable ((train the deo through the chapel and the two doors in the hallway) and resetting if you don’t get a deogen on the first hunt). All you need legitimately is, Smudge (Tier 2 worked since it’s already slow as a Deo and helps with the camera), lighter (I used tier 3), firelight (tier 3 is a must), and a photo camera (tier 3 better obviously). This is all you need to get it done if you have good objectives and reset till you get a Deo. I used the office to the left to train it around the desk (go wide around the wooden chairs) initially as it was off to the side so it was extremely unlikely for another ghost to come and kill you while there (given no radio, no talking, no night vision goggles on). Take the firelight into the office, place it on the desk. Have camera and smudge ready, dea will get to you (even a mimic mimicking a Deo should allow you to get the photo) (second hunt can tell you if it’s is a mimic and not a Deo) all objectives should be done if you get the good ones, I would reset crucifix, emf, event, parabolic mic. You could do a motion sensor as well, just another trip you’d have to do, but if you got a Deo, should be good as long as you smudge it (you don’t want it to hunt on your way to the door as there’s no looping spot) I came up with this strat after getting 3 failed (nearly successful runs over the course of 5 hours) of a demon, revenant, and mimic (died getting a photo each time using a more conventional using 4 firelight, tier 1 smudges, crucifix, etc.) and in frustration went for Deo exclusively. I did get caught on a chair while walking backwards in the office and died to a Deo (would’ve taken two hours if I didn’t die there, became another 3 hours but it was mainly resetting) Reset if it’s in the entryway or office (don’t want it to hunt on you) It’s more mind numbing but you have to buy way less by resetting and not spend 5 minutes setting up just to die. If you are doing noncheese, I’d recommend using para mic to listen to its speed (maybe hear polty throws) and where it is if it’s a ways away. At the end of the day, do whatever works best for you. Timers are extremely good as oh snap it’s hunting every 23 seconds, demon.
Correction: Hantu is closer to Moroi speed on heavy rain + broken breaker. Thaye is above both, not by super much, but noticeably. Also criminally underselling the T3 paramic not only for tracking the ghost and finding it, but for Raiju/Myling tests as well. Lastly, EMF objective is fine if you plan on interacting with the ghost at the end of a hunt as you can have the emf to pick up anything that it interacted with before despawning.
If you dont care about honor, just reload the match until you get a Deogen. You can loop it around the table in the managers office. You can quickly tell its a Deo by listening for machine gun like footsteps that are approaching you with the parabolic mic.
@@babsibenson Yeah I've been thinking about doing that honestly XD Part of me thinks it will be fun to do one day but also just wants to get the achievements as its one of the few im missing
@@Zielix20 oh okay. This will be useful only for polter then. I don't think anyone will play with activity monitor anyway. It's better to increase ghost event frequency.
I started playing phasmo after watching insym do it for like a month. I've put 30 hours in it already since the 22nd. This has quickly become my favourite game, besides SOMA which I just finished. Which insym totally needs to play might I add
13:18 This timer is the GOAT. Every time I play phasmo I set it to multiple hours and then I press the pin button in the corner and the timer stays there the entire time I play. No additional buttons are required, it just exists on your screen.
@@Excelsus95 If you set the timer for a long period of time, once you smudge the ghost you can just simply look at the timer to see what the time was when you smudged. Counting backwards, not forwards.
I was super lucky with my Apocalypse challenge run, having done it before the broken camera update (hope they fix/find an alternative soon), having the ghost close to the entrance, having the ghost change ghost model (actively knowing it was an Obake), completing the easy objectives, and surviving, it certainly won't be a feat I could replicate. Anyone who can beat the Apocalypse challenge deserves the highest respect, especially now.
the first time I did I unashamedly got a deogen for an easy win (get a ghost photo, smudge while chasing, and escape a hunt). My most recent one was a thay, which was a nightmare, but I'm so proud of my growth since starting to play the game
I personally always enter with a smudge, the paramic and a crucifix. The paramic is extremely useful to find where the ghost is and what ghost it is because you can listen to it from far away.
On which date was this streamed?, would be helpful if someone knows about it. Even an approximate date will work. Plus HAPPY NEW YEAR INSYM and EVERYONE ELSE WATCHING THIS VIDEO.✨
I finally got my apoc 3 trophy a few days ago, and on a poltergeist of all things. It's room was the one just left of the front desk, and after the first hunt it did an event right on me which made for an easy picture
This comes at a perfect time for me, I'm trying for the apocalypse challenge currently. Its the next big skill jump after 0 evidence which I've gotten pretty comfortable at now.
Insym, I'm not sure if you've heard of him, maybe search him up, but I think you should definitely collab with Justly, he is level XX-2700 or so, he is very good and commonly does Apoc 3 every map runs, he is a very cool streamer on youtube and twitch, I think you guys would be a good duo.
When I did my challenge I had crucifix cleanse and EMF in the chapel with a Deo. That was the luckiest of luckiest ghost types and ghost rooms. Those challenges suck but if you have a close room, it is possible
Also just so everyone who reads this knows; Don’t ‘leave’ from the menu. Always leave by pressing the button in the truck. If you just leave by the menu, it counts as a death and you lose all your items. I lost 50k before I realized this.
I had a rev in the kitchen with EMF and two other easy objectives I dont remember. Got the emf by timing the hunts so I had max time to throw in emf at the kitchen entrance during the grace period (I use LiveSplit for my timer) and got lucky. Sadly I died trying to get the ghost photo but just letting people know kitchen sucks but is not entirely impossible if you got an easy ghost. Especially for rev since you can use the long side hallways for a photo. I just got unlucky and it roamed to me during a hunt. I eventually got it with a Raiju in the left wing. Lined up 4 firelight in the wing hallway for lights (Tier 3 never go out unless ghost does it) and got the photo at the end of the hunt. Two objectives were easy and I don't even remember but I did a raiju test with a motion sensor during hunts and hearing it through the para mic far away. As soon as it changed speed I knew. Then my last objective was blow out a firelight and I had the line of firelights from my photo thing. I went I bed while sitting in the truck. Woke up and still didn't do it so I went inside and camped the entrance since it was far away in the left wing and I probably wouldn't die during hunts. I waited like a half hour before finally it blew one out and I left. Good stuff but my run was technically like 8 hours because I slept for my firelight objective
I did apocalypse challenge few months ago in 5 minutes, I got a Deo and the 3 best objectives after like 300+ resets, I managed to take photo during a hunt too
Funny story, I almost did it first try because I got a lucky ghost event and when I left with everything done, I went Moroi because it had the usual Moroi speed and um.. was a Hantu, never saw it in a hunt so didnt realise, also always was at a constant speed. It took me 6 more hours of tries 😅 PD: In the run where I actually did it, I had the emf objective and I got it during the hunt, at the very end, and I was in the chapel while the ghost room was the kitchen, my guess is that before teleporting to the ghostroom it did an interaction as soon as it ended hunt and counted for emf, was weird.
I got super lucky and got a thaye on my second run and was able to get the gold trophy. I might recommend not bringing a headlight as the ghost can detect your equipment and find you and just bring the t3 firelights instead
How is your brightness so clear alongside your night vision goggles?? I have my brightness all the way up, and can barely see anything… my night goggles is also smudgy, and definitely not as crispy looking as what’s seen on the video :’)
anyone know how insym got his game brightness so good? like every update the game just keeps on getting darker to the point where i can't see anything even though i have max brightness in the game?
I need someone to explain this to me like I'm 6 years old. @05:40 - He enters the asylum with NVGs, 1 lighter (igniter), 1 crucifix, and 2 smudge sticks He rings the front bell twice Plays with a light switch a lot, a lot, and a lot Move down a hallway Hides in a room Smudges the room he is in with the ghost on the other side of the wall @12:49 He checks his optional objectives, and without using a lantern or candle... "Get a ghost to blow out a Firelight" is checked off. How?
Nope. To beat all 3 apocalypse challenge you just need to: 1. Get a ghost photo (any star counts) 2. Complete all objectives 3. Guess the ghost correctly
I tried for a week straight on this and NEVER got a Deo... It saddens me because I was SO CLOSE to getting it with a Raiju and then as I made it to the door, it hunted. It also changed rooms to the lobby and I had already used all of my salt and smudges.
yo insym please PLEASE tell the devs to add an in game chat fir people who dont have a mic so they dont get kicked and so they can tell what the ghost is. Happy new year! Congrats on 1M.
I’m not sure if you have one, but is there a tutorial on how to properly hide. Does it work off line of sight, can I hide behind objects and does the ghost just slightly enter a room and then leave as long as it doesn’t see me?
I don’t have a concrete grasp on the exact systems that affect ghost roaming during hunts, but if it doesn’t see a player, it moves randomly. This could be a node based system where it selects a random node in range and moves towards it, or it could be another random pathing method. Otherwise, the ghost functions on line of sight / electronic usage / sound. If it ever loses sight of you, it will proceed to your the last known location to it, i.e. rounding a corner. To successfully hide from a ghost you have to break line of sight, not be using any electronic equipment or have it turned on, and to not be speaking into your microphone in game-and then hide in a place the ghost cannot or is not likely to reach. Insym mentioned in a recent-ish video that certain looping spots don’t work as well even when crouched because they are not tall enough to block ghost line of sight, so the ghost continually speeds up around them. Hope this helps!
I attempted apoc, got all challenges completed, it was a rev. ( got it correct) but the photo I took of the ghost didn’t count when i was standing right beside it when i snapped it 😢
Unfortunately the only attempt I've made at any apocalypse challenge was the silver one and I had hantu in the kitchen. I made a fatal mistake in attempting to fill the book and couldn't get a ghost photo due to too many deleted and not enough space to take more.... I Punted away my chance for that silver achievement
Insym, can you please convince the developers to leave the Walking speed "normal" when outside of the entrance during the apocalypse? it would make the challenge less tedious without dropping the difficulty at all. just let me bring items to the door in 1 min instead of 2....
I am at 67 attempts still waiting for a deogen, maybe I'll have to go for any ghost instead. The medium event frequency was a good tip did not know we could do that.
I decided to try this at level 53 without t3 head gear/crucifix/salt/para mic (don't ask) and it took over 10 hours but I did finally get it on a Rev. 10 hours of attempts and not a single Deo, I genuinely thought they may have disabled Deos for apoc 3 because it made it too easy. I wanted xp and money so if I got unlucky objectives I still took a 1/24 at the ghost instead of immediately resetting. Still no Deo.
Attempted to get the gold trophy, FIRST run was what I thought was a deo, but it turned out to be a mimic :,):,) ended up losing all of my money during my many attempts afterwards, I hope I can get it soon!!
Just yesterday my friend attempted this challenge for the very first time and got a Deo WITH the easiest objectives and completed it within a hunt or two with no difficulty, FIRST, TRY. What the fuck
Got this one in two hours Ghost spawned in first room, i smudged it, took timer and a photo through event while completing objectives in meantime Was a spirit so was really easy
i completed my apo challange on 31st of december, my goal was getting it done in 2024. i had luck, in my first game i had the worst objectives but i had a deogen when i left and in my 3rd round i had as objectives 1. take a photo of the ghost 2. repel the ghost and 3. clense the area. and for my luck i had a deogen again so i was gifted the trophy :D overall it took me like 15 minutes to do the challange
Send someone to die getting a picture Send someone to die to smudge the ghost Send someone to die to do whatever the last objective is Last person just leaves after
I got a deo once I let kill me thinking it was impossible looked it up turns out it's slow enough to escape, I was very upset, after like 10 more attempts I got a wraith and beat the challenge, also in my opinion wraith and deo are the best cause you can complete most objectives if the wraith teleports to you and deo you can outrun so if your smart you can do literally everything.
i love how i watch all the phasmo videos and feel like i know so much and then get into the game and cant leave the van cause im too scared 😭
Same
You'll gather the courage to get out of the van more soon. I was just like that, only playing at Professional, no higher. Now I only play at 10x rewards and it's very fun to put your knowledge to the test once you're not afraid of the ghost. You will get there!
Do you "literally" have a Phasmophobia? (fear of ghosts) or what is it, btw happy new years, make this year a phasmo demolition year

I started playing phasmo after watching insym do it for like a month. I've put 30 hours in it already since the 22nd. This has quickly become my favourite game, besides SOMA which I just finished. Which insym totally needs to play might I add
this is such perfect timing, i just got the doom slayed achievement, so now its time for apocalypse 3! (im doing training last)
13:18 This timer is the GOAT. Every time I play phasmo I set it to multiple hours and then I press the pin button in the corner and the timer stays there the entire time I play. No additional buttons are required, it just exists on your screen.
That's smart!
I'm using this for now on. Thanks!
What do you mean by multiple hours?
@@Excelsus95 It's a countdown timer so I set it to 9 hours so it's always on.
@@Excelsus95 If you set the timer for a long period of time, once you smudge the ghost you can just simply look at the timer to see what the time was when you smudged. Counting backwards, not forwards.
I was super lucky with my Apocalypse challenge run, having done it before the broken camera update (hope they fix/find an alternative soon), having the ghost close to the entrance, having the ghost change ghost model (actively knowing it was an Obake), completing the easy objectives, and surviving, it certainly won't be a feat I could replicate.
Anyone who can beat the Apocalypse challenge deserves the highest respect, especially now.
the first time I did I unashamedly got a deogen for an easy win (get a ghost photo, smudge while chasing, and escape a hunt). My most recent one was a thay, which was a nightmare, but I'm so proud of my growth since starting to play the game
I personally always enter with a smudge, the paramic and a crucifix. The paramic is extremely useful to find where the ghost is and what ghost it is because you can listen to it from far away.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, INSYM!
On which date was this streamed?, would be helpful if someone knows about it. Even an approximate date will work.
Plus HAPPY NEW YEAR INSYM and EVERYONE ELSE WATCHING THIS VIDEO.✨
Judging by the event board, winters jest is only on phase 2 here, so definitely mid-december stream.
@Thatirishbuck Thx🙂🙌
I finally got my apoc 3 trophy a few days ago, and on a poltergeist of all things. It's room was the one just left of the front desk, and after the first hunt it did an event right on me which made for an easy picture
Perfect timing wanted to do it soon thanks
You're welcome!
This comes at a perfect time for me, I'm trying for the apocalypse challenge currently.
Its the next big skill jump after 0 evidence which I've gotten pretty comfortable at now.
Insym, I'm not sure if you've heard of him, maybe search him up, but I think you should definitely collab with Justly, he is level XX-2700 or so, he is very good and commonly does Apoc 3 every map runs, he is a very cool streamer on youtube and twitch, I think you guys would be a good duo.
Finished this two days ago at level 68, wished I had the NVGs, but hey I got it.
For anyone curious, I got a Moroi in the West Wing.
Good stuff man, I got mine two days ago as well. I got a poltergeist, my favorite ghost lol.
If you are gonna reset for deos make sure you have tier 3 smudge and a general tip max your brightness and bring a candle
Also, if you don't want to change the activity level setting, you can change the hunt duration to medium :)
20:34 if I had to guess, you smudged the ghost when it was out of range, and then it booked it to you immediately after
When I did my challenge I had crucifix cleanse and EMF in the chapel with a Deo. That was the luckiest of luckiest ghost types and ghost rooms. Those challenges suck but if you have a close room, it is possible
I just got it based on your tips. Thanks!
i did this challenge first try by seeing orbs in the room. then i waited for it to be a deo to take the pic and leave
Also just so everyone who reads this knows; Don’t ‘leave’ from the menu. Always leave by pressing the button in the truck. If you just leave by the menu, it counts as a death and you lose all your items. I lost 50k before I realized this.
Paramic for "Finding the ghost" and also hearing footsteps/Myling distance measurement/potential polter throwing patterns in the early game
With the new sound recorder coming out as well a video recorder, do you think they will change the requirements for the challenges?
If you’re going against a deo then the t3 firelight is also really good because it won’t glitch
Love the vids ❤ keep it up!!
I had a rev in the kitchen with EMF and two other easy objectives I dont remember. Got the emf by timing the hunts so I had max time to throw in emf at the kitchen entrance during the grace period (I use LiveSplit for my timer) and got lucky. Sadly I died trying to get the ghost photo but just letting people know kitchen sucks but is not entirely impossible if you got an easy ghost. Especially for rev since you can use the long side hallways for a photo. I just got unlucky and it roamed to me during a hunt. I eventually got it with a Raiju in the left wing. Lined up 4 firelight in the wing hallway for lights (Tier 3 never go out unless ghost does it) and got the photo at the end of the hunt. Two objectives were easy and I don't even remember but I did a raiju test with a motion sensor during hunts and hearing it through the para mic far away. As soon as it changed speed I knew. Then my last objective was blow out a firelight and I had the line of firelights from my photo thing. I went I bed while sitting in the truck. Woke up and still didn't do it so I went inside and camped the entrance since it was far away in the left wing and I probably wouldn't die during hunts. I waited like a half hour before finally it blew one out and I left. Good stuff but my run was technically like 8 hours because I slept for my firelight objective
No shot you release this after I beat Apocelypse a week ago 😭
The challenege is basically free with a deo. I struggled for about 20 hours with this challenge, almost felt unearned when i did it with a deo
I did apocalypse challenge few months ago in 5 minutes, I got a Deo and the 3 best objectives after like 300+ resets, I managed to take photo during a hunt too
According to Insym you need a lot of stuff for this challenge but imo you only need a tripod video camera, photo camera, salt and 4 smudge sticks 😅
Funny story, I almost did it first try because I got a lucky ghost event and when I left with everything done, I went Moroi because it had the usual Moroi speed and um.. was a Hantu, never saw it in a hunt so didnt realise, also always was at a constant speed. It took me 6 more hours of tries 😅
PD: In the run where I actually did it, I had the emf objective and I got it during the hunt, at the very end, and I was in the chapel while the ghost room was the kitchen, my guess is that before teleporting to the ghostroom it did an interaction as soon as it ended hunt and counted for emf, was weird.
What stream is this? I'd love to watch the whole stream
I got super lucky and got a thaye on my second run and was able to get the gold trophy. I might recommend not bringing a headlight as the ghost can detect your equipment and find you and just bring the t3 firelights instead
Have you ever tried the apocalypse challenge on different maps like prison or highschool?
I already got it on console because of you, never played before console lol
How is your brightness so clear alongside your night vision goggles?? I have my brightness all the way up, and can barely see anything… my night goggles is also smudgy, and definitely not as crispy looking as what’s seen on the video :’)
No need for headcam just turn brightness up to 250% and u can see very clearly
anyone know how insym got his game brightness so good? like every update the game just keeps on getting darker to the point where i can't see anything even though i have max brightness in the game?
I need someone to explain this to me like I'm 6 years old.
@05:40 -
He enters the asylum with NVGs, 1 lighter (igniter), 1 crucifix, and 2 smudge sticks
He rings the front bell twice
Plays with a light switch a lot, a lot, and a lot
Move down a hallway
Hides in a room
Smudges the room he is in with the ghost on the other side of the wall
@12:49
He checks his optional objectives, and without using a lantern or candle... "Get a ghost to blow out a Firelight" is checked off.
How?
Hey insym do you also need to pick up the bone during the course of the apocalypes challenge?
Nope. To beat all 3 apocalypse challenge you just need to:
1. Get a ghost photo (any star counts)
2. Complete all objectives
3. Guess the ghost correctly
Fun fact you can actually change the hunt duration down from 60s to 50s while still having the 15x multiplier
Glad I pulled an all nighter cuz now I watch this before I get deli food then play phas
I tried for a week straight on this and NEVER got a Deo... It saddens me because I was SO CLOSE to getting it with a Raiju and then as I made it to the door, it hunted. It also changed rooms to the lobby and I had already used all of my salt and smudges.
You can also instead of ghost event. make hunt duration medium. Lowers the hunt duration by 10 seconds which is a big deal
I got my gold trophy with a spirit, and it was what you would call an "educated guess" haha
yo insym please PLEASE tell the devs to add an in game chat fir people who dont have a mic so they dont get kicked and so they can tell what the ghost is. Happy new year! Congrats on 1M.
8:50 I want to ask why it can't be Deo? He is fast when he is far and slower when he is near and he was far and he was fast. Or I'm just stupid 😅
Deo knows where you are at all times so you cant hide from it but is extremely slow when close
I’m not sure if you have one, but is there a tutorial on how to properly hide. Does it work off line of sight, can I hide behind objects and does the ghost just slightly enter a room and then leave as long as it doesn’t see me?
I don’t have a concrete grasp on the exact systems that affect ghost roaming during hunts, but if it doesn’t see a player, it moves randomly. This could be a node based system where it selects a random node in range and moves towards it, or it could be another random pathing method. Otherwise, the ghost functions on line of sight / electronic usage / sound. If it ever loses sight of you, it will proceed to your the last known location to it, i.e. rounding a corner. To successfully hide from a ghost you have to break line of sight, not be using any electronic equipment or have it turned on, and to not be speaking into your microphone in game-and then hide in a place the ghost cannot or is not likely to reach. Insym mentioned in a recent-ish video that certain looping spots don’t work as well even when crouched because they are not tall enough to block ghost line of sight, so the ghost continually speeds up around them. Hope this helps!
I attempted apoc, got all challenges completed, it was a rev. ( got it correct) but the photo I took of the ghost didn’t count when i was standing right beside it when i snapped it 😢
Hey Insym, Happy New Year🍾🎆🥂I beated golden apocalipse, do you think it's good for someone who have only 225h in Phasmo?
Unfortunately the only attempt I've made at any apocalypse challenge was the silver one and I had hantu in the kitchen. I made a fatal mistake in attempting to fill the book and couldn't get a ghost photo due to too many deleted and not enough space to take more.... I Punted away my chance for that silver achievement
Insym, can you please convince the developers to leave the Walking speed "normal" when outside of the entrance during the apocalypse?
it would make the challenge less tedious without dropping the difficulty at all.
just let me bring items to the door in 1 min instead of 2....
I popped this trophy with Moroi. I had to walk to the back side of the map to get the picture and 2 of my objectives
just got bronze!!! somehow first try. im so happy and excited for the next
So should I put event on medium or hunt duration on medium ? U can change one and it’ll still be 15x which one would be better
I am at 67 attempts still waiting for a deogen, maybe I'll have to go for any ghost instead. The medium event frequency was a good tip did not know we could do that.
I decided to try this at level 53 without t3 head gear/crucifix/salt/para mic (don't ask) and it took over 10 hours but I did finally get it on a Rev. 10 hours of attempts and not a single Deo, I genuinely thought they may have disabled Deos for apoc 3 because it made it too easy. I wanted xp and money so if I got unlucky objectives I still took a 1/24 at the ghost instead of immediately resetting. Still no Deo.
Attempted to get the gold trophy, FIRST run was what I thought was a deo, but it turned out to be a mimic :,):,) ended up losing all of my money during my many attempts afterwards, I hope I can get it soon!!
Im suprised u dont use the T3 parabolic to see the speed and where it comes from
They really should add hand watches into the game. Tier 3 would be gold plated rolex
What is the jinn’s ability?
So proud I got it at level 54, it was indeed torture
18:53 I hid behind a bookshelf and my camera glitched through that’s how I got my ghost photo 😂
I got lucky with a Deo, but I had emf and cruci objective. I had to play it soo patient, but I did it!!
Just did this challenge. If you have none unlocked and u complete the 15× (legend) you automatically unlock the other 2 below it.
Can the ghost travel trough the doors that get locked while the ghost is hunting?
Just yesterday my friend attempted this challenge for the very first time and got a Deo WITH the easiest objectives and completed it within a hunt or two with no difficulty, FIRST, TRY. What the fuck
28:55 wait, you have to time it??? I never missed a ghost photo despite not knowing this wtf xDD
Got this one in two hours
Ghost spawned in first room, i smudged it, took timer and a photo through event while completing objectives in meantime
Was a spirit so was really easy
i did the entire challenge with facing a deo its actually best way to get it
Yes, very well earned. Participation trophy level
@@strixtIt really isn't that deep
@anonymousguineapig6174 There is no "depth" to what I said. In fact, it's the most basic, simple connection to grass touching there is.
@@strixt womp womp
@strixt dude I can hear the fedora from you, it's really not that serious. Deogen or not he still beat the challenge.
I did this challenge on my second try, no headgear... didn't even prestige yet 😂 had a Hantu
Recently i have been getting ghosts with freezing breath but they arent a hantu do you know why?
i completed my apo challange on 31st of december, my goal was getting it done in 2024. i had luck, in my first game i had the worst objectives but i had a deogen when i left and in my 3rd round i had as objectives 1. take a photo of the ghost 2. repel the ghost and 3. clense the area. and for my luck i had a deogen again so i was gifted the trophy :D overall it took me like 15 minutes to do the challange
I just cheesed a wraith Teleport skill :D (but thanks to Mysni advices i could survive)
How do you get the Hunter Achievement completed? Mine is at 46/54 and it hasnt moved once! I have no idea how to get more......
Why is not possible to do it in multiplayer?
Send someone to die getting a picture
Send someone to die to smudge the ghost
Send someone to die to do whatever the last objective is
Last person just leaves after
because its not??? It wont unlock
I got a deo once I let kill me thinking it was impossible looked it up turns out it's slow enough to escape, I was very upset, after like 10 more attempts I got a wraith and beat the challenge, also in my opinion wraith and deo are the best cause you can complete most objectives if the wraith teleports to you and deo you can outrun so if your smart you can do literally everything.
I had a blood moon on mine, but I got lucky and it was a Deogen TwT
