How To Use the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia

Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: A Comprehensive Guide

The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial tool in Phasmophobia, significantly aiding ghost hunting. This guide details its unlocking and effective usage.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

This optional equipment requires 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 microphone from the truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. Activate/deactivate it using the designated button. Tier 3 features a directional radar.

On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone excels at pinpointing ghost locations via sound cues (e.g., object throws, door movements, ghostly whispers). It can also help complete optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Certain ghosts, like the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable with this microphone, aiding identification.
