Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Using This Essential Ghost Hunting Tool
The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial piece of optional equipment in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding in ghost detection. This guide details how to unlock and effectively utilize this valuable tool.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone:
The Parabolic Microphone isn't initially available. You must reach specific player levels to unlock its three tiers:
- Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7. Purchase from the in-game shop.
- Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31. Upgrade cost: $3,000.
- Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72. Upgrade cost: $5,000.
Remember, prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can equip up to two microphones, regardless of party size.
Using the Parabolic Microphone:
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the truck's equipment wall before each investigation (unless playing Challenge Mode, where it may not be pre-selected). Turn it on/off using the designated button. Tier 3 features a directional radar display.
On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone is invaluable for locating ghosts by sound. It detects various ghost-related noises: object throwing, door movement, and vocalizations. It can also fulfill optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Furthermore, it’s essential for identifying ghosts like the Deogen or Banshee, whose unique sounds are only detectable with this microphone.
