Another tip is that if your mic doesn't work or you have an awful accent then you can always use the "Text" mode, where you just have to click the prompt.
😭 I’m seriously so thankful for you n your videos! I keep learning new things n just realized I’d been doing it all wrong. Again, thank you sooooo much!!!!!
Thank you for your videos and tips! And the fact that you still respond to ppls comments after one year is just crazy. Some youtubers dont even check the comments ❤
No problem, thanks for watching! Also no problem, I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch or comment on my videos! It has definitely gotten more difficult to respond, but I still enjoy taking the time to!
I try the spirit box about five times in a row before trying a different evidence. Sometimes, they answer immediately, and sometimes, I have to try two or three sets. Just depends really. After that, it's pretty safe to mark it off.
@@Lil_P66I use text, because Voice has never worked at all for me. Everyone can hear me, both local and global. Mic gets detected in the settings. But I speak english, spanish, and portuguese (last one is my first language), and neither the ouija board and spirit box worked
@@tiagoviana263 i recently learned that the mic recognition is based on your system's default microphone not the one you input into the game settings so make sure that the mic your pc uses (if you play on pc) as its default is the one you are trying to use. plus setting the voice recognition to windows instead of something else can help. i learned this from insym's video on what settings to change in phasmo from around 9 months ago if you wanna hear his explanation which is probably better than mine
@tiagoviana263 I had this exact same issue. My mic was working for everything including in game radio/ walkie talkie. But no response despite being around events and objects being interacted with. My buddy took the spirit box and got a response within 30 seconds and ended up getting three or four responses. I also couldn't hear my friends on radio, don't know if that had anything to do with it. They could hear me and I could hear their walkie talkie page sound ( the click sound once you click the button and when you finish) but none of their voice unless I was close just like a normal in game chat but with the walkie talkie page sound...
Little fact some phasmophobia players may not know:The tier 2 DOTS can be confused for something like a sound sensor or spirit box due to it looking like a radio,it cannot be turned on in hand and auto activated when placed with f by default Appearance:It looks like a black radio similar to Tier 3 spirit box but has a “speaker” in the middle and it’s placeable
Has this confusion ever happen to anyone? It appears in the same spit as any other tier spirit box, it was the same white noise to it, and you don't place the spirit box like you would a crucifix, so how does anyone mistake it for a sound sensor?
Bonus: You can bring 2 spirit boxes, leave one on and place it to cover an area while you hold the other in the other corner for more coverage. Also bring a candle light to slow sanity drain while asking the questions, it helps.
New player, swear to God I forget every detail about the spirit box as soon as I pick it up. Didn't know it has a range either. This video is extremely helpful.
You can always use "text" as your voice input and instead use the dialogue menu. Not as immersive, but reliable. I have trouble getting the SB to understand my accent, so I usually use the text.
I tried for 15 minutes in the tutorial to get a response. The light turned on every time, but it never replied. Then I turned it to text based and it responded first try. The spirit box is so broken
Ya a lot of people say Text is more accurate for them. I have it set to text on my Steam Deck and usually have no problem getting a response pretty fast.
Spirit boxes hardly ever work for me, especially if its a Spirit. It will never respond, even if it is picking up my mic, I ask questions on top of him, and the lights are off
I also test for "responds to people who are alone" and "responds to people who are together" on multiplayer by starting spirit box while people are in the room and then telling them to leave and testing again. I didn't get spirit box for a while because I was doing it alone and almost crossed it off but then I asked for someone to come in and then got spirit box the moment the came in the room
That's not how it works, responds to everyone just means it doesn't matter if someone is in the room with you to get a response, it was just a coincidence that happened
@@Lil_P66 huh. Good to know! I had no idea! I can't believe that one coincidence had impacted my way of doing spirit box for months XD Dumb ghosts being dumb!
If you know for sure the ghost was like right on top of you like after a ghost event and you don't get a reading then I would be more likely to cross it out then
The red box just means the voice detection recognized a valid question from you. Not that you are within range of the ghost or that conditions are met (e.g. lights being off/being alone)
Even if every condition is met, there is still chance that the ghost does not respond, so you theoretically can never fully rule out spirit box, but the more non-responses you get the less likely it is. (If you're certain the ghost is nearby.) I usually consider lack of spirit box (especially tier 1) soft evidence and am always willing to return to it if other evidence starts pointing in that direction.
I don't know why I've had better luck with the tier 1 spirit box than the tier 2. By myself I get spirit box done pretty well but with my friend it doesn't work much but it's also because of the ghosts we've been getting have no spirit box
No I wouldnt give up yet, only if the ghost did a ghost event so you know where it is and still cannot get a response. All it means is that you got no response then
Does the Responds To information only relate to the spirit box, or does it tell you other stuff too? Like, are ghost interactions, events and hunts more likely to happen when and/or to people are on their own if the ghost Responds To people who are alone?
@ okay so nothing else like ouija board or dots, paper, emf or anything? Just spirit box? Because I was confused on the meaning for a while since I’m newer
Hey thx for the video, it really helpful, I just bought the game the other day and playing with my friend, and I'm the Spirit box guy, but I have not work for me yet, how clear in you qustion do you need to be? beacuse my english is not that good sins I have a big danish dialect, can that be the reason why it not working?
Thanks! Welcome to Phasmo! Your accent shouldn't really be a problem, as long as the game is registering the input, you should be good. Just make sure the lights are off in the room, and it is just you in there to be safe. If you feel like it's not working still you can always turn on voice input to text and just click the question.
@@Lil_P66 cheers for the welcome and I find out what the problem was, I had voice recognition mode to none. But it nice to know my language should not be a problem.
I’ve gotten response by the buttons you click, but actually talking doesn’t work on ps5 does it? Cuz I’ve tried and can’t recall it ever really talking back to my voice
So if the ghost picks up on your question and you get a red dot does that mean you're not close enough to get a response or can you use the red dot to know its not spirit box as evidence, if that makes sense lol this is the one i have most trouble with as a returning player.
It basically means the game picked up your question and there was no response. I would wait until the ghost does a physical ghost event, so you know the exact ghost location, then start asking questions because you should be right on top of it
I don't really understand the point of the Responds To information. It seems like you're always best off just going in the dark on your own to try it, right? Or does the Everyone mean everyone has to be in the room to get a response?
That was a very aggressive and intimidating opener... He was staring into my soul 😂
"Where are you?"
"EXPLOSION!"
I Swear This Spirit Box Is The Hardest Evidence If It Is Tier 1.
It can definitely be annoying
@@Lil_P66it was rough for me to use it but now I got it down pat
It sure is, i havent seen Insym complain about tier 1 spirit box as much as he did with dots
Dots ???
Tier 1 dots isn't that bad lol, just good placement@@Jan_Jan2010
Love how the example of "responds to people alone" and "unsure" are both called Larry ❤
different Larrys though
Larry a real one for taking time out of his afterlife to help us learn about the spirit box 🫶
me:'where are you, are you pizza, are you new years, are you carpet'
Another tip is that if your mic doesn't work or you have an awful accent then you can always use the "Text" mode, where you just have to click the prompt.
How to access the text mode?
@@mrdngamer7592 In the settings menu, in I think the "Gameplay" tab, under voice recognition mode.

Best Time to try it is right after a ghost event or interaction because you know exactly where the ghost is
I just started playing and i dont know how many times i have lost games by getting the red dot and thinking i got spirt box 😭
Use text works 100%
I just love how much more immersive it is when you use voice, but text is great for sure

“Are you friendl-“

I like to set up motion sensors in the ghost room to know for sure the ghost is in the room when I try for spirit box evidence.
Good strat
Hey spirits it’s me, ya boi
Use smudge stick in the room, 100 percent response after, if the ghost has spirit box
Bonus: You can bring 2 spirit boxes, leave one on and place it to cover an area while you hold the other in the other corner for more coverage.
Also bring a candle light to slow sanity drain while asking the questions, it helps.
Nice tips!

Glad I could help, you'll get the hang of it!
I have a problem with the spirit box and It does pick up my microphone but it cuts in the middle of the sentence so I don't know what to do
As long as you see that ghost icon light up red or white that's what matters as it means it understood your question and there was a response or not
You can always use "text" as your voice input and instead use the dialogue menu. Not as immersive, but reliable. I have trouble getting the SB to understand my accent, so I usually use the text.
will the ghost respond if i have the room light turned off but i have a dots placed or a dropped flashlight in the same room?
turn on equipment doesnt matter ya
I tried for 15 minutes in the tutorial to get a response. The light turned on every time, but it never replied. Then I turned it to text based and it responded first try. The spirit box is so broken
Ya a lot of people say Text is more accurate for them. I have it set to text on my Steam Deck and usually have no problem getting a response pretty fast.
Same
I've never had a ghost respond to my spirit box when alone.
Damn knowing the red light means the ghost heard you but is just ignoring you is kinda sad
“Damn even ghosts don’t wanna talk to me”
Spirit boxes hardly ever work for me, especially if its a Spirit. It will never respond, even if it is picking up my mic, I ask questions on top of him, and the lights are off
I would my voice input mode to text, that is what i have been doing lately since the voice update, I feel like it never picks up my mic
@@Lil_P66 it has trouble picking up mine aswell, plus, the ghosts will not always respond if you ask them something.
Ty❤
I love getting spirit box in the first room, lights on, and atleast 1 other person with me. Thats happened atleast twice
I also test for "responds to people who are alone" and "responds to people who are together" on multiplayer by starting spirit box while people are in the room and then telling them to leave and testing again. I didn't get spirit box for a while because I was doing it alone and almost crossed it off but then I asked for someone to come in and then got spirit box the moment the came in the room

EXPLOSION
Does the tier 2 headgear count as a light source? In this video it looks like you have one on but friends keep telling me to turn it off.
Items can be on for spirit box only room lights and lamps matter
So the red one means i can cross spirit box out?
If you know for sure the ghost was like right on top of you like after a ghost event and you don't get a reading then I would be more likely to cross it out then
The red box just means the voice detection recognized a valid question from you. Not that you are within range of the ghost or that conditions are met (e.g. lights being off/being alone)

I usually consider lack of spirit box (especially tier 1) soft evidence and am always willing to return to it if other evidence starts pointing in that direction.
Do you need to turn off your flashlight?
Nope flashlights are fine, all house lights in the room, including lamps, need to be off though.
T1 sprit box range smaller than my brain cells left 💀
So does it count as evidence if it responds or would it picking up the message also count??? I've been bamboozled w this (I got the game yesterday)
only the response
I messed up the tutorial and forgot to turn the lights off. Don't skim read tutorials if you're first starting.
Thankkkkks
Tips on how to get a spirit box, response and phasmophobia. use the spirit box The most obvious thing to do XD (love your vids man)
Thanks!
I'm waiting for the update to talk to the ghost through the mic on console
It will definitely be nice when they add that
I don't know why I've had better luck with the tier 1 spirit box than the tier 2. By myself I get spirit box done pretty well but with my friend it doesn't work much but it's also because of the ghosts we've been getting have no spirit box
So if the ghost symbol shows red the ghost will not respond? So I should give up on said evidence then…? Thanks for the tips btw very helpful!!🎉😊
No I wouldnt give up yet, only if the ghost did a ghost event so you know where it is and still cannot get a response. All it means is that you got no response then
Does the Responds To information only relate to the spirit box, or does it tell you other stuff too? Like, are ghost interactions, events and hunts more likely to happen when and/or to people are on their own if the ghost Responds To people who are alone?
Just spirit box
So if it blinks red then you can cross out spirit box and check other stuff? Or do you have to keep trying?
Keep trying unless it's right after a physical ghost event
When it says “responds to x” is it only talking about the spirit box or everything else?
spirit box
@ okay so nothing else like ouija board or dots, paper, emf or anything? Just spirit box? Because I was confused on the meaning for a while since I’m newer
Does the spirit box work with the in game microphone?
yes unless you are on console
@Lil_P66 why not if on console? Or is it not known yet?
Hey thx for the video, it really helpful, I just bought the game the other day and playing with my friend, and I'm the Spirit box guy, but I have not work for me yet, how clear in you qustion do you need to be? beacuse my english is not that good sins I have a big danish dialect, can that be the reason why it not working?
Thanks! Welcome to Phasmo! Your accent shouldn't really be a problem, as long as the game is registering the input, you should be good. Just make sure the lights are off in the room, and it is just you in there to be safe. If you feel like it's not working still you can always turn on voice input to text and just click the question.
@@Lil_P66 cheers for the welcome and I find out what the problem was, I had voice recognition mode to none. But it nice to know my language should not be a problem.
Little confused here. Ive gotten mixed reviews on wether or not the lights have to be off. In experience Ive had both work
House lights and lamps have to be off, flashlights/other electronic items don't matter
Me and my friend were using the spirit box and they got a green light💀 idk if it was bugged or not
Might depend on the tier of the crucifix or your lighting is just off
They need to fix that on console because you can’t move when asking left me really vulnerable at the start of a hunt
That would be nice if they change that, it's the same way on PC though with text input, you just have back out fast when you realize it's a hunt
When i use the spirit box i dont even hear the static
You probably aren't turning it on
I’ve gotten response by the buttons you click, but actually talking doesn’t work on ps5 does it? Cuz I’ve tried and can’t recall it ever really talking back to my voice
There is currently no voice recognition on console
All ghosts that can respond will if you are alone in the dark. If you're in multi-player and someone is testing Spiritbox, stay out of the room.
So if the ghost picks up on your question and you get a red dot does that mean you're not close enough to get a response or can you use the red dot to know its not spirit box as evidence, if that makes sense lol this is the one i have most trouble with as a returning player.
It basically means the game picked up your question and there was no response. I would wait until the ghost does a physical ghost event, so you know the exact ghost location, then start asking questions because you should be right on top of it
if the ghost picks up the question but doesn’t respond is that still spirit box evidence? or does it have to reply for it to be evidence
It has to reply for the evidence to count
so it is evidence of spirit box if the box checks white does not matter if you hear the voice of the ghost?
If the right one turns white and you should hear the response as well
Are you french? Are you pizza? Are you grandma?
Where are you?
"Explosion"
But no response doesn’t automatically mean no spiritbox right?
Correct, you would need to better know the ghosts location either through motion sensors, event, interaction, etc.
Bro i recently downloaded phasmophobia I don't get sprit box like you i am at level 2 if spirit box upgrade like you ??
Are you playing multiplayer where people put in higher tiers? Otherwise this is the default Spirit Box
Are you pizza? Are you grandma? Where are you?
Does it work on console
Spirit box does, just with text inputs as voice recognition is not available yet
How do i use spirit box in ps5?
Same way
WHERE ARE YEWWWW
AND IM SO SORRY
I use text to speak. It never fails. Good video though, most people don't know turn the lights off
Thanks
Dont shoot off 15 questions in 3 seconds.
@NuggetGangsta when you use a mic, the bot doesn't have a chance to fucking respond.
Are you close are you friendly are you french are you pizza
Am I the only one that hates the new voices for the spirit box. They aren’t creepy at all..
The new spirit box voices are terrible
I think they could be creepier
I hope they make it more scary
Yeah I prefer the previous ones(not the tts ones). I know the voices are of well known phasmophobia youtubers but still.
There russian 💀
they made it more realistic tho@@Lil_P66
I don't really understand the point of the Responds To information. It seems like you're always best off just going in the dark on your own to try it, right? Or does the Everyone mean everyone has to be in the room to get a response?
Walk around the ghost room and don’t stand in one spot
That is helpful as well!
whoops
