Now that they put the loud humming down, and made it go off more often, I REALLY love it. The visuals of it are incredible, and it's a really unique/cool equipment item
Glad you stuck around to see one of the projectors get thrown out of bounds. From 7:34-7:37, the Oni slid the DOTS projector by the bedroom door over to the home radiator by the wall while you were setting up the camera. It would be cool if only non-DOTS ghosts could move the projectors, but that doesn't look to be the case. Thanks for the guide!
Interesting tidbit regarding D.O.T.S.: there's no ghost that has both D.O.T.S. and Ghost Writing. This is very useful to avoid testing for evidence combinations that can't happen. SPOILER: DOTS/Writing aren't the only mutually exclusive evidences. So are Freezing/SpiritBox and EMF/Orbs.
actually yea. Also, the devs actually are doing their best to make the experienceo of phasmophobia terrifying. After the update, I felt that fear and terror. Im lvl 639 and after this update, I felt that same terror again. It was great.
I think that would be excessive, because it's a proof that you need to figure out the type of ghost, if it would start lower your sanity you would get to 0 istantly.
Thank you for this tips and tricks! My team and I had a hard time figuring out on how to use this item for our last evidence, and we managed to see a lightning speed ghost movement through video cam in the truck 😅 we hope the devs could make the ghost move little bit slowly so that we can see it more clearly
i could see it pretty clear, if you're expecting it- should be easy enough to see, i could even see it in vr without having to try to notice it. could also be your brightness or any other monitor setting messing with the visiblity. OR OR you can use the night vision as it literally shows it's skeleton
set a motion sensor below the projector (idk if he mentioned it in the video i was just scrolling thru comments b4 watching it) so whenever the ghost passes through it youll get a beep sound and also install something like medaltv so if u perhaps werent watching or wanna rewatch it then just clip it and go back to rewatch and see if there was anything
Amazing video! As someone who also plays phasmo, it's super easy to just binge all of your videos because you explain it in such a casual way. I had a DOTS ghost just yesterday and while I was trying to convince my friends about what I saw, it actually threw the projector around a LOT which only made it harder. So yes, I've seen a DOTS ghost throw the projector itself :D
When you said that dead people could really easily see the dots, i had a realization A team using only in game chat could set up a system where you take certain items to represent certain evidences (a cup could be writing, plate could be emf 5 for example), and place them outside. Then, if a person dies, they could walk in, check some evidence if possible, and either take a second of the representative item, or just throw it at people (If they see emf, they could repeatedly chuck a cup around the truck). This would bypass the players and dead people not being able to talk to each other Or you could just use Discord lmao Can't wait to play in the new update myself
Yes, the model changes. You can even get the crawler that goes across the floor. A useful tip in found (which you saw at the end of the video) is that the EMF always gets triggered so yeah, easy to spot
Thank you so much! I've seen it work with you and other TH-camrs. Haven't seen this in my gameplay yet. Super excited now that I know what to look for.
I was one of those people who couldnt understand dots projector till your "no key challenge"when you were waiting on the video cam and it poped up and I went like WHAT.....thats FrEaKy... But I'm glad I finally found the time to watch this vid to understand it 😁
I absolutely love seeing them diversify both materials and evidence types, opening up the magnitude of searching for clues and opening doors for future ghost types.
Oh boy... This update has made me realize just how out of the loop I am with this game. I haven't played it since before all the ghost AI changes and the hiding changes.
It's a crazy sets of changes, it makes your solo experience _really_ scary, & your multiplayer experience really memorable. Loved the work they put into improving not just the visuals of the game, but to also create new mechanics to make what was previously unusable items (paramic) into very good tools at a cost of cheesing some of the game mechanics (to be fair some ghosts really thrive on being unheard to spook you off guard so yes this is a win for me).
Love this! I finally started playing phasmo and my first ghost was a Goryo! Unfortunately, my mic isn’t working so I have to play without it, which is difficult. I’m glad I’m still able to see the DOTS! The experience of walking through the maps and being able to hear everything so well is insane! Couldn’t have played without your advice and videos Insym! Thanks again for the great content! ❤️ Much love!
I had my first dots projector ghost today. I have never been so hyped. But then the silhouette of the ghost walked right at me and i almost lost my shit lol
I was watching cams in the ghost room during a hunt, and it looked like it showed the dots ghost in place of the ghost model while it was "invisible" and within range of the dots projector. Really awesome stuff
Thanks! Now dots are easy to get as evidence! At first I tought they wanted this to be the hardest evidence type but seems like the book is still the hardest(at least for me XD)! Have a nice day! P.S. I can't wait for the guide for hunting!
In a bigger room we also put down a EMF next to the D.O.T.S, since when a Ghost runs through it, it gives our EMF lv.2. So that + the wavy buzzing and make it easy too! Also found a neat little glitch haha. So there is the glitch, that 2 player can pick up the same item, and then if player1 selects it, it will disappear from player2's hand. If you do that with Sanity Pill. Player1 can use it, then player2 has to scroll or press Q and there will be another Sanity Pill the hand. So with that, you can have more than 4 pills if you use that.
one easy way to identify dots ghosts is by dropping an emf reader near a projector. If you see it beep often without noticing any interactions, it's most likely a dots ghost. This should be an easy way to identify a goryo without having to return to the truck
Okay this is the first time I'm watching a tutorial/explainer video on phasmo and it's absolutely HILARIOUS how the ghost keeps interrupting him while he's trying to explain.
DOTS are fascinating, definitely a little frequent from what I've seen, but it's really cool regardless, especially if you're seeing it for the first time type of deal. I took a screenshot of my teammates literally just all staring at the screen pointing it out every time it zipped by.
one thing about dots evidence to be clear as book writing and happend not so often: if we could have video recorder cam and an option to connect dots projector to this cam to have video records of "dots events" - it's gonna be another cool type of experience, especially with Goryo on single runs.
I'd love to see something like equipment interference mechanic. Where if you put DOTS down or use the Spirit Box then EMF reader would read incoherent data. I mean, flashlights interfere with cameras, why not anything else? It would make people actually think about equipment placement instead of just throwing everything from the truck into the ghost room hoping for the best. Maybe as a difficulty modifier?
sometimes they only crawl. and any combo between walking and crawling. its modle also changes like the kid, man, big moma or the weird tall slanky alien model. really cool. also in a hunt the dots start to strobe light
I think it's HILARIOUS to just randomly see the ghost run through the DOTS projector like a madman cartoon character in fast-motion. I'd watch it with the Benny Hill theme.
I would love a difficulty where the whole building is the ghost room. Like you have to place cameras throughout the entire place and there's specific like 3 marked areas of interest to get the 3 evidence. Would prolong the investigation and have you use most of the map. Not sure how well it'd work in progress just would like to use the whole map like a real investigation instead of just stuck to one room
My first run with the dots, I saw it so clearly and then it was a struggle after that. I also had a banshee through the dots projector on my second run of the new update
A good way to make it creepier will be to have different iterations like maybe you can have one where the ghost just stands in the DOTS or another where they sit, imagine if you’re walking into the room and you see a crying ghost in your DOTS
So I had a Yokai today and no matter how long I stared at the 2 D.O.T.S projectors that I placed in its room, I couldn't see this opaque silhouette once.. Yesterday when I played the update for the first time and actually saw some silhouettes in the DOTS, they were very faint and hard to see as well. But all your dots appearances were so clear and easy to see.. Like wow!
Interesting, personally I've found DOTS very easy to get since the latest hotfix. Maybe try switching them around next time, putting one on an adjacent room, and trying other spots in the same room. Maybe you got a really roamy ghost and the two DOTS weren't actually in its room, so they didn't trigger.
@@IDyn4m1CI Yeah could be, the Yokai did spawn in a room next to the one where I placed the dots when it started hunting but even on the spirit box he said that he would be "here" in this room. It could also be my lighting settings. I have volumetric lighting set to medium and screen space reflections on, that way all the lighting in this game, especially flashlights, look very cool as they now cast like an actual beam of light through some sort of fog. Maybe even my brightness settings, which I have set to lowest, affect visibility of the dots silhouette. But I kinda don't want to change it as it makes the game more immersive.
@@I_am_oLii Just throw an EMF reader next to the DOTS. If its a DOTS ghost, you'll get a reading of 2 every time it happens (sometimes 5 if its a Goryo) so you'll have a very distinct audio cue of when it happens. If you're getting no reading at all, then the DOTS are probably in the wrong place
My first ghost i played with on the new update was a goryo and it took me not that long to figure out u had to look at it from the van but i never thought u could see it with the naked eye (with other ghosts besides goryo) and when i saw it from the van it took like 2 minutes to pop up and it was like a clear silowhette(idk how to spell it if i spelt it wrong) like it just walked across the D.O.T.S and it was full body not fast it just did a slow walk lol (this was like 2 hours after release)
Yep, DOTS is pretty awesome. You get now why it was so annoyingly loud when the update dropped? We were supposed to hear it if we didn't see it lol. It was very spooky when it happened before, cause it was so rare and happened so fast, but I see why they changed it, it was definitely frustrating to try to get that evidence. But I still think it happens way too often now. Also when you place two DOTS and get them at the same time? Kinda weird, makes it seem like there's 2 ghosts in the room. Also, the cool thing with DOTS and EMF is that you can identify a Goryo straight away, if the room is large enough so the EMF will only pick up the DOTS, then you'll know for sure you're dealing with a Goryo when it happens even without a cam. Also DOTS can trigger EMF 5 with EMF ghosts which gives another piece of evidence for the Goryo very easily. And yes, the DOTS silhouette is the model of the ghost, the crawling child ghost looks specially creepy in the DOTS. Overall, I love this new evidence type. They just need to finetune it.
I think that the DOTS are cool, but it'd be even cooler that on the appropriate ghosts, it'd actually track them. (To a degree. And if used, especially while they're roaming around, they'd get more aggressive.) Like, the ability to see the ghost in its small radius as if you were dead. Obviously, maybe needing them to turn off like having its own battery would be the trade off to live tracking. Otherwise, 100% the coolest tool.
From the games I have played, I have only seen DOTS ghosts throwing/moving DOT Projectors, never seen a non-DOT ghost throw/move them. Also Insym, having 2 DOT projectors down nearby in the same area, you have a slight chance, say... 1/50 chance, could be 1/100 chance of seeing 2 DOT ghosts running at the same time, I got it earlier today twice and I made a clip of said event happening.
I had an oni on release, never got the actual DOTS event off it, but IDed it when it gigayeeted the projector. So at least on release it seems they could. I was actually working off the theory that only DOTS ghosts would touch them, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Since the new update is been hard to tell when a hunt ends lol and my friend didn't know you had to turn off your flashlight so when it hunted the ghost literally ripped the closet doors off and killed him lol
lol my stressed as$ was shaking because there was a revenant hunting so i did hide on the closet but forgot to turn off my flashlight. y'all know the end.
DOTS ghosts can absolutely throw the DOTS projector. We had one last night that. We actually had the projector on the wall and it threw it onto a bed, and we didn't see the DOTS until after that happened.
Insym: "What do you think about dots? I love dots!" me: "So do I but they really stick to your teeth." (For anyone who doesn't know, here in the USA there's a gumdrop candy called DOTS. They're fruity, chewy, and VERY STICKY lol)
I've had a few Goryos throw the D.O.T.S, a Wraith and had an Oni yheet it out the hallway we had it into an adjacent room as well as of course Poltergeists having a fun time throwing them
my first dotsghost (banshee) killed my projector. Bleasdale, ripped it of the walls and it bugged into the bathtub... the room underneath was incredibly fancy though :D
The only thing I'm curious about, if you attach the Dots to a plushie or mannequin and the ghost teleports them, will the Dots go with or be left behind?
the DOTS is definitely movable. last night my friends and i were on edgefield trying to use it, we placed the DOTS on the wall of the kitchen bathroom and after a while the ghost knocked it off the wall onto the floor. it wasn't a DOTS ghost, and it only happened once so... yeah. thanks, truly hate it. (i love it)
Just getting a bit technical here, having 2 DOTS projectors doesn't exactly "doubles" your chances, because it is still highly RNG dependent. But you will surely see an increase. Like you said, it's like ghost writing, so it simply increases the chances of getting it. I'm just making sure that people don't actually think there's an exact x2 value to having 2 DOTS. Thanks for the good video overall though! ^^
I can barely hear the change in the projector's tone when the DOTS event happens in this video. But I can confirm, in game, it is way easier to hear. Except when you are quietly listening to a little buzzing sound and suddenly a ghost event happens right next to you. Then you just poop your pants and move on with your day.
I do need to see that hunting tips video, I've been killed multiple times by ghosts I KNOW didn't see me enter a Closet, with my flashlight, microphone and electronics off.
Not related to DOTS but I found out today that if you put two books right next to each other and pick up the one the ghost is currently writing in, there's a big chance it will immediately start to write in the book that was next to the one you picked up lol
Hello there! In response to your "If the dots ghost can throw the dots projector" it can! All though it was rare for me but the ghost can indeed throw the dots!
You already mastered DOTS projector? I haven't even finished your 3 hour video yet! Good on you man, this new update is insane! (And has quite frankly made me too afraid to play phasmo anymore LOL)
What do you think about the DOTS projector? I absolutely love it! :D
ITS AMAZING!
I like trains
Now that they put the loud humming down, and made it go off more often, I REALLY love it. The visuals of it are incredible, and it's a really unique/cool equipment item
it's awesome! it adds another new type of spookiness in the game now, and we love to see the ghost moving around the area 🤣
ITS SOO GOOD!
But I also wanna see what happens if you place them all around the house, will it keep walking around and will you keep seeing it?
4k Camera is my absolutely favorite now, don’t have to rely on someone in the van to watch for orbs.
I LOVE THE CAMERA IT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE YOURE ACTUALLY HUNTING GHOSTS IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT ITS SUCH A GREAT CHANGE
@@dunnet24 also Outlast vibe in asylum and prison
Also it's better to navigate in the dark with night vision on
caught in 4k
Wait can't you see ghost orbs in the van now? Or is this just an option?
Glad you stuck around to see one of the projectors get thrown out of bounds. From 7:34-7:37, the Oni slid the DOTS projector by the bedroom door over to the home radiator by the wall while you were setting up the camera. It would be cool if only non-DOTS ghosts could move the projectors, but that doesn't look to be the case. Thanks for the guide!
this needs to be seen more
this
Additionally to this we had a ghost knock one off the wall after a while, it might have also turned off but I can't remember
Insym: *Explaining D.O.T.S. to us*
Oni: EY YO LEMME GET CHO AUTOGRAPH
Dots👍
in that version can the oni do the airball event?
I actually would like to see more DOTS animations: like the ghost walking through slowly or the ghost walks into it then stops and looks around etc
I second this, that would be sick!
The Dot animations should match the type of ghost you're looking for. Would make the immersion more intense.
Interesting tidbit regarding D.O.T.S.: there's no ghost that has both D.O.T.S. and Ghost Writing. This is very useful to avoid testing for evidence combinations that can't happen.
SPOILER: DOTS/Writing aren't the only mutually exclusive evidences. So are Freezing/SpiritBox and EMF/Orbs.
Would be cool if your insanity is low you start seeing shadows
And hearing heartbeats?
actually yea. Also, the devs actually are doing their best to make the experienceo of phasmophobia terrifying. After the update, I felt that fear and terror. Im lvl 639 and after this update, I felt that same terror again. It was great.
I think that would be excessive, because it's a proof that you need to figure out the type of ghost, if it would start lower your sanity you would get to 0 istantly.
@@psykuu6040 Haven't the devs said there will be an update that will make the game scarier?
@@Erik_coolman wasnt following that, but I really do appreciate their effort. Game is more terrifying and ITS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING.
Thank you for this tips and tricks! My team and I had a hard time figuring out on how to use this item for our last evidence, and we managed to see a lightning speed ghost movement through video cam in the truck 😅 we hope the devs could make the ghost move little bit slowly so that we can see it more clearly
i could see it pretty clear, if you're expecting it- should be easy enough to see, i could even see it in vr without having to try to notice it. could also be your brightness or any other monitor setting messing with the visiblity. OR OR you can use the night vision as it literally shows it's skeleton
set a motion sensor below the projector (idk if he mentioned it in the video i was just scrolling thru comments b4 watching it) so whenever the ghost passes through it youll get a beep sound and also install something like medaltv so if u perhaps werent watching or wanna rewatch it then just clip it and go back to rewatch and see if there was anything

The audio shift of the DOTS when the ghost is walking through it is a 1000 IQ tip - never noticed it
When you said that dead people could really easily see the dots, i had a realization
A team using only in game chat could set up a system where you take certain items to represent certain evidences (a cup could be writing, plate could be emf 5 for example), and place them outside. Then, if a person dies, they could walk in, check some evidence if possible, and either take a second of the representative item, or just throw it at people (If they see emf, they could repeatedly chuck a cup around the truck). This would bypass the players and dead people not being able to talk to each other
Or you could just use Discord lmao
Can't wait to play in the new update myself
Yes, the model changes. You can even get the crawler that goes across the floor. A useful tip in found (which you saw at the end of the video) is that the EMF always gets triggered so yeah, easy to spot
Thank you so much! I've seen it work with you and other TH-camrs. Haven't seen this in my gameplay yet. Super excited now that I know what to look for.
im so glade you explained the dots me and a friend played and we had no absolute clue what to look for
I was one of those people who couldnt understand dots projector till your "no key challenge"when you were waiting on the video cam and it poped up and I went like WHAT.....thats FrEaKy... But I'm glad I finally found the time to watch this vid to understand it 😁
I had so much fun playing phasmo today! This weekend is gonna be a ton of fun!
I absolutely love seeing them diversify both materials and evidence types, opening up the magnitude of searching for clues and opening doors for future ghost types.
Thank you so much, me and my friends were struggling with the dots, finally we can use it properly.
Oh boy... This update has made me realize just how out of the loop I am with this game. I haven't played it since before all the ghost AI changes and the hiding changes.
If u have time u should try it again it has new feeling to it when u play it

Glad he found out about the EMF with the D.O.T.S. In my opinion it makes it even easier to figure out if it is D.O.T.S.
Thanks for the help. I’m pretty happy that you explaining everything you know to us for us to be good. For me it’s cute for some reason, lol.
Thanks for the video explaining DOTS! had a bit of trouble trying to figure them out on update day
Just the video I needed. Restarted playing phasmophobia and I have been enjoying the new update :D
I can confirm that DOTS events can happen during an hunt
I wonder if we will ever get maps that have multiple ghosts?
Would be almost impossible to know what evidence belonged to what ghost if they were close, roamy or one of them was a wraith.
They will add a new map called mansion/manor soon its supoosed to be the biggest yet maybe in that update
The game is way harder with this update, lets not make it impossible to play.
That's a great idea, would be cool if you're on a big map and one ghost hunts/roams half the map and the other roams the other half!
@@n1ghtm4re71 Where my thought process was.
Love this! I finally started playing phasmo and my first ghost was a Goryo! Unfortunately, my mic isn’t working so I have to play without it, which is difficult.

Thank you for teaching us how to work with the dots :D
Can confirm a DOTS ghost is able to show dots evidence during hunts and its also able to throw dots projectors around but that's pretty rare

I agree, hunts are so much more terrifying especially with the new flashlight blink and the need to turn off stuff like flahslifhts
Also following this I forgot to turn off email and it was I'm another room so my teammate died
That dot projector is basically from paranormal activity 4 with xbox kinect :D Even the way the ghost runs is from there which is really nice :)
A good way to make it creepier will be to have different iterations like maybe you can have one where the ghost just stands in the DOTS or another where they sit, imagine if you’re walking into the room and you see a crying ghost in your DOTS
I saw it drop, and caught it on video, but I love this new update, new to your videos, but this is awesome
You can glitch a camera on a tripod to in garages again. Just hold it in your hand, stand on the wall, and lean into the wall till you see inside.

Also, the cool thing with DOTS and EMF is that you can identify a Goryo straight away, if the room is large enough so the EMF will only pick up the DOTS, then you'll know for sure you're dealing with a Goryo when it happens even without a cam. Also DOTS can trigger EMF 5 with EMF ghosts which gives another piece of evidence for the Goryo very easily.
And yes, the DOTS silhouette is the model of the ghost, the crawling child ghost looks specially creepy in the DOTS.
Overall, I love this new evidence type. They just need to finetune it.
I think that the DOTS are cool, but it'd be even cooler that on the appropriate ghosts, it'd actually track them. (To a degree. And if used, especially while they're roaming around, they'd get more aggressive.) Like, the ability to see the ghost in its small radius as if you were dead. Obviously, maybe needing them to turn off like having its own battery would be the trade off to live tracking. Otherwise, 100% the coolest tool.
thank you for the guide! found you through game grumps :)
Ghost: show himself
insym: look at the chattt
Thank you u helped me so much!!, i didn´t know how to use them till now xD
1:07 and that ghost walking by :D
The dots are really cool! I'm hoping that sets it up for an SLS camera in the future!
From the games I have played, I have only seen DOTS ghosts throwing/moving DOT Projectors, never seen a non-DOT ghost throw/move them. Also Insym, having 2 DOT projectors down nearby in the same area, you have a slight chance, say... 1/50 chance, could be 1/100 chance of seeing 2 DOT ghosts running at the same time, I got it earlier today twice and I made a clip of said event happening.
I had an oni on release, never got the actual DOTS event off it, but IDed it when it gigayeeted the projector. So at least on release it seems they could. I was actually working off the theory that only DOTS ghosts would touch them, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
DOTS ghost can throw them indeed.
Also I had The Grudge model and it was actually crawling on the cam when i saw it on DOTS
I actually just had a game where a dots ghost threw my projector, it was my first goryo too :D
Since the new update is been hard to tell when a hunt ends lol and my friend didn't know you had to turn off your flashlight so when it hunted the ghost literally ripped the closet doors off and killed him lol
I didn't read the patch notes and was frazzled from playing another game prior to checking the update out. Didn't go too well!
@@itsMiatch Same. My first game was on Willow Street House and I tried hiding behind the door in garage/kitchen.
lol my stressed as$ was shaking because there was a revenant hunting so i did hide on the closet but forgot to turn off my flashlight. y'all know the end.
Fixed an issue where the DOTS Projector interaction was happening twice as often if you placed two down[Date: 29/08/2021 - Hotfix - 0.3.0.2]
DOTS ghosts can absolutely throw the DOTS projector. We had one last night that. We actually had the projector on the wall and it threw it onto a bed, and we didn't see the DOTS until after that happened.
You manage to be so funny even with no edits.
Insym: "What do you think about dots? I love dots!"
me: "So do I but they really stick to your teeth."
(For anyone who doesn't know, here in the USA there's a gumdrop candy called DOTS. They're fruity, chewy, and VERY STICKY lol)
I've had a few Goryos throw the D.O.T.S, a Wraith and had an Oni yheet it out the hallway we had it into an adjacent room as well as of course Poltergeists having a fun time throwing them
my first dotsghost (banshee) killed my projector. Bleasdale, ripped it of the walls and it bugged into the bathtub... the room underneath was incredibly fancy though :D
Important note!!
In the latest hotfix patch they made it so 2 DOTS projectors dont double the chance of an event
Nice video about new DOTS, still people confused about that item
This helped. Thanks Insym!
thanks for the tips snd triks insym 💞
The only thing I'm curious about, if you attach the Dots to a plushie or mannequin and the ghost teleports them, will the Dots go with or be left behind?
That Oni was cracked up and frantic.
DOTS make good party lights
the DOTS is definitely movable. last night my friends and i were on edgefield trying to use it, we placed the DOTS on the wall of the kitchen bathroom and after a while the ghost knocked it off the wall onto the floor. it wasn't a DOTS ghost, and it only happened once so... yeah. thanks, truly hate it. (i love it)
Just getting a bit technical here, having 2 DOTS projectors doesn't exactly "doubles" your chances, because it is still highly RNG dependent. But you will surely see an increase. Like you said, it's like ghost writing, so it simply increases the chances of getting it. I'm just making sure that people don't actually think there's an exact x2 value to having 2 DOTS.
Thanks for the good video overall though! ^^
I had a DOTS ghost throw the projector. It only happened once, though. Maybe non DOTS ghosts just throw it more frequently
Spooky and Ooky, they made the Oni even scarier to me than they already were given my experience with insane Onis
I can barely hear the change in the projector's tone when the DOTS event happens in this video. But I can confirm, in game, it is way easier to hear. Except when you are quietly listening to a little buzzing sound and suddenly a ghost event happens right next to you. Then you just poop your pants and move on with your day.
I do need to see that hunting tips video, I've been killed multiple times by ghosts I KNOW didn't see me enter a Closet, with my flashlight, microphone and electronics off.
Dang 4 vids in a day!
What a legend insyum!
Not related to DOTS but I found out today that if you put two books right next to each other and pick up the one the ghost is currently writing in, there's a big chance it will immediately start to write in the book that was next to the one you picked up lol
Hello there! In response to your "If the dots ghost can throw the dots projector" it can! All though it was rare for me but the ghost can indeed throw the dots!
No stream this time. Veary usefull video. Thank u ;)
For the dots all u need to do is look through the truck camera and you will see a ghost run past and it will be dots.
You already mastered DOTS projector? I haven't even finished your 3 hour video yet! Good on you man, this new update is insane! (And has quite frankly made me too afraid to play phasmo anymore LOL)
I have seen a d.o.t.s ghost Throw the projector, I think they can throw it as well. It was a banshee
