Parabolic Phantom: Unmasking Ghosts with Precision

Master the Phasmophobia Parabolic Microphone: A Comprehensive Guide

The Parabolic Microphone is a crucial tool in Phasmophobia, aiding in ghost detection. This guide details its unlock process and effective usage.

Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone

The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment, requiring specific levels to unlock and purchase in the in-game shop. Three tiers exist, each offering improved performance.

• Tier 1: Unlocked at Level 7.

• Tier 2: Unlocked at Level 31, costing $3,000 to upgrade.

• Tier 3: Unlocked at Level 72, costing $5,000 to upgrade.

  Upgrading is done in the shop. You can equip up to two microphones regardless of party size. Prestiging resets your progress, requiring re-unlocking of all tiers.

Using the Parabolic Microphone

Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the truck's equipment wall after selecting it in the shop. A button toggles it on/off. Tier 3 includes a directional radar.

On larger maps, the microphone excels at pinpointing ghost locations via sound—object interactions, door movements, or vocalizations. It can also fulfill optional objectives requiring ghost audio capture and is crucial for identifying ghosts like the Deogen or Banshee through their unique sounds.
