In Phasmophobia, the Parabolic Microphone is a valuable tool for ghost hunting, helping you pinpoint even the most elusive spirits. This guide explains how to unlock and effectively use this essential piece of equipment.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia
The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment, meaning you need to unlock it. Reach Level 7 to purchase the first tier in the in-game shop. Further upgrades are available at Level 31 ($3,000) and Level 72 ($5,000). You can equip up to two microphones regardless of your team size. Remember, prestiging resets your progress, requiring you to unlock all tiers again.
Using the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the truck's equipment wall before each investigation. The Tier 3 version includes a helpful radar. On larger maps, it's invaluable for locating ghosts by listening for sounds like thrown objects, moving doors, or ghostly whispers. It can also help complete optional objectives requiring you to record the ghost's voice. Some ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, have unique sounds only detectable with this microphone, aiding in identification.
Mastering the Parabolic Microphone significantly enhances your ghost-hunting capabilities in Phasmophobia. Check back with The Escapist for more guides and news, including all achievements and trophies and how to unlock them.
