nightmare mode can seem intimidating at first but honestly it is one of the most fun game modes in the whole game and the one that I probably play the most so let's go over seven tips that I think you should know before you start playing nightmare mode on your own so you'll be better prepared first is going to seem fairly obvious but it's be familiar with every breaker location the breaker is off by default on nightmare mode and it's also not visible on the mini map in the truck that means you should be familiar with
every breaker location on every map so you can start by checking there right away typically there's only a couple spots to choose from and for the houses it's typically in like the garage basement or storage room or attic and the more you play the better you'll familiarize yourself with the locations and this is super important because you should be utilizing the lights on in the house to keep your sanity High which leads me into my next tip which is try to keep your sanity High until you get both pieces of evidence if the ghost is
constantly hunting you again and again and again and you're struggling to get that annoying dots or ghost riding freezing EMF 5 it's just going to make it unnecessarily hard I like to try to keep my sanity High until I get both pieces of evidence and then start trying to rule out ghosts from there this can take some time to get used to because the sanity board is broken in the truck so you kind of just got to get a feeling for you feel like you've been in the dark for too long feel like it's taken
a while and if you do just take a sanity pill to be safe so make sure to keep lights on around the ghost room while you're trying to get the evidence stay in those lit areas you can also hold a lit candle if you want but it's not as feasible anymore since candles are time based until you get tier three you just want to do what you can to mitigate that sanity loss until you get both pieces of evidence and know know what you have to do from there but if your sanity does happen to
drop my next tip which is kind of true for every game that's find hiding spots fast nightmare mode especially you have very few hiding spots on the map so you want to make sure that you find where the open hiding spot is fast so in case you do get hunted you'll know exactly where you need to go so if you're on your way to the breaker you can search for hiding spots or as soon as you turn on the breaker and start looking for the ghost room look for those open hiding spots so you're well
prepared for whenever the ghost does start hunting and when the ghost does hunt you when you run into that hiding spot this is one of the most important tips for eliminating ghosts in Nightmare and that's going to be listen to the ghost footstep speed during hunts it is absolutely Paramount that you get used to listening to what normal footstep speed is which if you're not familiar with it let me play a clip of that here [Music] and then start comparing what the footstep speed is to that sound if it's faster or slower you're going to
pretty much know what the ghost is right away and as an example of this let's say that you have ghost orbs and freezing as your two evidence we're going to say you've already ruled out a mimic so this makes the ghost choices possibly a Revenant Ur honu or enrio if the ghost hunts and you hear that it is normal footstep speed you know right away you can eliminate Revenant and HTO from the list so now you're just down to uray or onrea and that's because revenants have super slow footstep speed outside of line of sight
and the hu's footstep speed is going to be based on the temperature so in the ghost room if the breaker is on it's going to be really fast and then slow down outside of it to slower than normal speed or if the breaker is off in the whole house it could be super fast everywhere and so determining if the ghost is a UR or hreo is going to be fairly simple after that just do a candle test that's not what this video is about let's go into the next tip which is know which ghosts have
forced evidence in nightmare mode some ghosts will always be forced to have that piece of evidence which means if you do not get that then that ghost can be eliminated as an option this sounds confusing let me make it a little bit simpler for you let's say you're playing and you have EMF 5 and ghost orbs as your piece of evidence that would mean that the possible ghost choices would be a Ru or an elake elbach are required to have fingerprints or UV evidence that is their forced evidence they will always have that in one
or two evidence games this means that the ghost could not be an obake and would have to be a Ru you don't even have to test for it the other ghosts that have forced evidence Goro will always have dots because of their ability to only show dots on video camera with nobody else in the room Moro will always have Spirit Box because they can curse you doojin will always have Spirit Box because of their heavy breathing Spirit Box response obak will always have ultraviolet because of of their extra fingerprint as well as their ability to
not leave UV evidence hos will always have freezing because of their ability to speed up in the cold and while not technically evidence per se mimics will always have ghost orbs even on no evidence games which is pretty neat if this seems confusing I do have a video that I'll link here in the top right that goes over this more in detail and give you more examples next tip may seem like a copout but it's essentially just play nightmare just do it because I truly believe that you can impress yourself with how well you can
get through nightmare mode if you play professional and you get the ghost easily fast it's starting to get a little bit boring shake things up and do nightmare I say just do it cuz I had a hard time taking this advice myself when playing nightmare I started being able to easily get the three evidences fast and professional I would survive hunts and the game just didn't really become as hard but I was super nervous and scared to try nightmare because I had all these thoughts of nightmare mode is going to be too hard how am
I supposed to play when I don't know my sanity I don't think I'm that good with the ghost abilities how can I determine the ghost I was going through all this and then I just decided all right let me try and see and I fell in love with the game mode I didn't die I got the ghost right majority of the time there are still times you make mistakes and all that but it truly opened up to making this game just so much more fun and I know that you can have the same success I
did and if this did inspire you to try nightmare mode please leave a comment let me know how that turned out I always love to hear success stories and how much I my videos have helped people in games it's truly awesome I always love reading those comments now let's go on to the final and most important tip which of course seems pretty obvious for nightmare but start becoming familiar with ghost abilities and traits probably pretty obvious but you're like I don't even know where to start so let's start with this first unofficial phasmophobia cheat sheet
put on by taiban really great tool I've mentioned it a lot in my videos because it's a great way to look at everything in one area I haven't actually showed you the best way to use it though so let's go through this example right here on playing a game what evidences we get so let me show you how to actually use it so this game here we have ghost orbs and dots as our two pieces of evidence so let's use this site to help us start eliminating other ghosts so here's the best way to use
this cheat sheet for evidence change it to nightmare so it has a better path for you over here we have ghost orbs and we have dots so we have a lot of different options here for possible ghosts so if we didn't know what all of these ghosts did we can start looking at it so for a Banshee unique screen through the parik okay that's going to tell us that maybe we should bring in a paric and start listening to see do we get a scream for uray uh they can only only ghost that can close
or interact with an exit door outside of a hunt or an event um it can also shut a door and drop the sanity of nearby players if a door is in the room so we know based on that that we may want to leave the doors open yo-kai it's hearing detection distance is 2.5 M and less during hunts which is is the way I would recommend to test for a yo-kai so this would tell you okay we're going to need to activate our electronics and see if the ghost will come to us talking near Yokai
can cause it to hunt when you're at 80% sanity do keep that in mind for Ru during a hunt causes electronic disturbance at 15 M range instead of 10 m and it has increased speed near active electronic equipment while it is hunting so looking at that it will tell us this ghost is going to be faster around electronic equipment during hunts so when it hunts will it be fast for a th age response on the Ouija board will change but we also know that ghost ages over time it's going to hunt you at 75% youngest
15% at oldest biggest thing here though 2.75 m/ second at its youngest 1 met per second at its oldest so the hunt speed is going to be probably pretty fast especially early on since it has a higher sanity threshold so we would be looking at okay this going to tell us for a the and a Raiju their hunting speeds are going to be somewhat different cuz chances are you're going to have Electronics on so let's get hunted and see what happens so we know based on this it's normal speed which means we can rule out
a Ru and a th so whenever you eliminate ghost you can also do it here in the cheat sheet just by clicking this X and it will gray it out so it makes it a little bit better to look at what choices you have left and compare what you have to do next for a yo-kai we want to bring it near us and let me show you what I mean so see how the ghost went away and how it immediately came back towards us that's how we know that this ghost is not going to be
a yo-kai then the ghost did its door slam ability here so we know that this ghost is going to be a urea now there are actually seven easy ghost traits or abilities that I would recommend learning first to help determine or even eliminate ghost so click or tap the screen now to watch that thank you all so much for watching thank you to all the channel members for the extra support it truly does mean the world to me happy Hunting everybody and I'll see you in the ghost abilities video
