Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: Unlocking and Usage Guide

The Parabolic Microphone is a valuable tool in Phasmophobia for tracking elusive ghosts. This guide details how to unlock and effectively utilize this optional equipment.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

The Parabolic Microphone isn't initially available. It's unlocked through progression:

• 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 in-game shop to your loadout before each investigation. Challenge Mode may require separate selection. Once in the game, select it from your truck's equipment. Use the appropriate button to activate/deactivate. Tier 3 features a directional radar.

Effective Usage:

• Ghost Location: On larger maps, use the microphone to pinpoint ghost sounds (e.g., object throws, voice).
• Optional Objectives: Complete objectives requiring ghost voice recordings.
• Ghost Identification: Certain ghosts (Deogen, Banshee) have unique sounds only detectable by the Parabolic Microphone.
