To identify the Obake in Phasmophobia, you will need the following pieces of evidence in the game.
- Fingerprints
- Ghost Orbs
- EMF Level 5
If you find all three pieces of evidence, mark them in your journal and the game will indicate the Obake as the ghost haunting whatever map you are in. If you need any help getting all three pieces of evidence, use the chart below.
| Required Evidence | How to Get? |
|---|---|
| Fingerprints | To get fingerprints in Phasmophobia, you will need to find a handprint on a door or objects in the game when the ghost interacts with them. But to get the handprints to show up, you will need to use a UV light and shine it on the object. Doing so will cause a handprint to appear, and when you see one, it means the ghost has fingerprints as evidence. |
| Ghost Orbs | To get Ghost Orbs in Phasmophobia, you will need to set up a camera where you think the ghost room is or somewhere close by. After setting up a camera, view the footage back at the van, and if you see floating orbs on the screen, it means ghost orbs are one of the pieces of evidence. |
| EMF level 5 | To get a level 5 EMF reading in Phasmophobia, you will need to have the EMF on while the ghost interacts with objects and the environment. If the ghost has EMF as evidence, there will be a 25 percent chance for you to get EMF Level 5 when they interact with the environment. We recommend causing the ghost to interact with the environment, by saying its name and asking it questions. But be warned, if you are low on sanity, it might start a hunt if angered. |
