Started playing today on PS5 along with my son and doing open party, have had a good laugh with some randoms, bit of a learning curve and yet to get the correct ghost. Spirit Box definitely needs updated eventually as it isnt working as intended on console.
Few Tips I've picked up from some of the more experienced streamers: 1) Matches/Lighters are a free inventory space. Always pick one up. 2) Firelight isn't picked up by ghosts during hunts, so you can use them as a secondary light source during hunts. This also applies to the UV glowstick. 3) You can Stack salt piles for quick and easy 3-star photos. 4) If you have the tier 3 D.O.T.S projector, you can pause its oscillation so that the dots stay in one spot. 5) The Parabolic Mic can help you zero in on the ghost room in larger maps like Sunny Meadows or The High School. 6) Learning how to loop the ghost around obstacles will help you survive if you can't make it to a hiding spot and help you identify it by observing its behavior. 7) Even if it's not one of the 3 evidence, the EMF detector can still help you pinpoint interactions so you can look for other evidence. 8) If you place the ghost writing book down and the ghost throws it, that means it's not one of your evidence, but ONLY if you have 3 evidence. 9) Having a designated Van person who operates the cameras, monitors motion and sound sensors, and brings in supplies can be invaluable. 10) Never leave Grian alone with the Cursed Object.
Dude this comment needs more like your did just as good as this vid man thank you both just hit lvl 8 and im dying to stop being a pussy and run this shit solo so I can carry my two friends
@@pablotescobar2744 When you're playing on a difficulty where you can find 3 pieces of evidence, if you place a ghost writing book in the room and the ghost throws it instead of writing in it, it means it's not one of the pieces of evidence and you can cross it out to help narrow your search. However, this doesn't work on higher difficulties where you only have 2, 1, or 0 pieces of evidence in order to identify a ghost.
I’m absolutely boggled at what I’m meant to be doing and I love it haha I actually screamed today…me a 30 year old burley Greek man scratched when I turned my camera and some demon thing was standing there breathing heavily at me!!
@@matttymajor8507i had a similar experience one was holding a axe telling me to run and hide or i will kill you also another time a ghost was singing coming down the hall way to kill me
Ive been watching insym for the past 4 years, so i didnt feel so out of my depth as a new player, game is fun but the amount of times my heart jumps into my gut is shocking 😂
Yeah first day I was spooked by everything but playing with my property buddies now I'm just not afraid to die and constantly in the house hiding or leading the ghost around objects till a hunt ends. Ive only been playing fir 2 days now but I can play by myself and find out what ghost it is usually in 5 minutes or less
I got overwhelmed too. I would say try what I did just have fun and guess until you get used to everything because trying to get it right every time will definitely stress you out and not make it fun anymore
Cool tip i learned as someone whos been playijg for only 2 days now that my buddy taught me is if you got a tripod drop it place a camera on ot and now you basically got 2 items in 1 hand so now you basically have 4 items another thing is the headlamp doesnt take up a hand slaught so use those over flashlights and always pickup a lighter it doesnt take any of your slaughts either. My team on the challenge mode right now first thing we do is quickly use the mirror see where the ghost is and start setting up the whole room with every item in the truck and we usually get the ghost within less then 5 minutes our fastest full completion was around 1 minute
@@baldskidude unfortunately no. They mentioned it is a priority to get it worked out sometime this year. I know it ruins the immersion a bit, I love trying spirit box
Me and my buddy both have next gen consoles and both of our brightnesses are all the way up but he still has way more visibility, how do I fix this? (I’ve messed around with my monitor settings and idk what to do anymore)
@@blrzzz304 do you by chance have eye adaptation on? It makes it so hard to see lol. Sometimes I feel like the game will randomly have high contrast or be darker than normal too
Hope someone can maybe answer my question, used to watch people play awhile back all the time and when they would see their breath they would mark freezing temps as evidence. Played for the first time yesterday and would see my breath but it ended up not being freezing temps, is it broken or just actually have to look at the temperature to know for sure?
@@THEBILLYSOLSON they did end up changing it so you actually have to use the thermo! Will probably make a video of notable changes soon. Happy ghost hunting :3
I’m struggling so hard to find freezing temps with the base thermometer. It always goes to around 5 Celsius and then never goes freezing when in the room and then I usually end up guessing the wrong ghost
@@jeremyclarkson412no. Do not do that. That just makes every room COLDER and therefore HARDER to identify the room. Freezing breath doesn't guarantee the room. It's just "usually" the room. Has to be ON the freezing temp of 0°C or lower. A few degrees above zero still emits cold breath. But, find the cold room, leave the thermo there, and keep coming back to check it periodically. It often takes a long time, just like dots.
Im struggling to figure out how to take 3 star footprint photos, i thought it was something to do with salts, and or uv footprints but i've played over 50 games and not found any footprints
The crossplay isn't working properly, I am on pc and my friend on ps5 but I can not hear my friend but he can hear me. They have to fix this problem otherwise it doesn't make sense to play
It's just the different audio settings between all things. PC, PS5, and the in game settings from both. It's a bit of a cluster getting it to work right. Even between 2 ppl both on PC.
@@masquatch yes! Devs said there will be voice chat for console. Unfortunately a few mechanics in game like the spirit box will be text only for a bit however.
I have a quick question does the mic work with the spirit box or do I have to push x square or circle to make it work and one major thing for new players who have watched someone else play the game and was thinking that the game is not that scary. well I thought that at first but I'm scared 🤣💩💩💩💩🏃👻. And I will never play this game alone. if anyone is wondering I did figure it out by watching a another video.
If you see the blue light next to the mic icon it means the game is detecting what you're saying, so the ghost can hear the questions you're asking, unfortunately on console the ghost can't "understand" what you're saying yet but it reacts to the sound of your voice

Is the controls easy on console was thinking about buying it next month
Remember it don't work when the lights are on! 😊

I didnt understand what you were saying about the book

Events always turn off the lights in that room. Unless it's red light. So if light just turns off, and manifests, then probably event.
and they tend to close the doors at the start of the event, while if a hunt starts they will never touch the door
New players have a lot to learn. I was lucky to be eased into it over each update.
That lot to learn is making me back out, does this game have neat rewards for said grind?
I’m absolutely boggled at what I’m meant to be doing and I love it haha

@@fancyseal712 that’s so sweet of you to offer! I’ve been playing with my mates. No way I’ll be playing this alone haha
Ive been watching insym for the past 4 years, so i didnt feel so out of my depth as a new player, game is fun but the amount of times my heart jumps into my gut is shocking 😂
Definitely a lot spookier actually playing the game versus watching Insym play it. Especially when you're a solo gamer.

Ive only been playing fir 2 days now but I can play by myself and find out what ghost it is usually in 5 minutes or less
I just started playing with the console release and definitely would like more friends to play with
A another tips for salt is that it's player dependent each player can take pictures of the same salt piles
I haven’t played this since the days it went viral on pc now i bought it on ps5 and there is so many things i have to learn it’s crazy
Damn, i didn’t realize how deep and complicated this game was going to be when I bought it on console. I feel kinda overwhelmed 😢
I got overwhelmed too. I would say try what I did just have fun and guess until you get used to everything because trying to get it right every time will definitely stress you out and not make it fun anymore
like any other game tho right? it’s really fun experiencing yourself picking up on things. You’ll get it down, just play as you go have fun.
I’m really happy it’s as complex as it is. I was worried it would be a game we play once and never again.
This guide was well put together and well edited. Keep up the content and I'm certain your channel will grow to what it deserves.

Effectively reacting to cues in game
i just started playing on release day, level 68 i think, i have used a flashlight one time, and i dont understand why its such a popular item
Ghost adventures the game! lol
is it possible to talk with voice for spirit in console mode?

guys, the spirit box answer your voice or just the button you press??
I’m trying to figure that out too
Just the button presses. For privacy reasons, it can’t detect what you saying through it unlike PC.
Sorry, for now, consoles are stuck with the text based controls for spirit box and other stuff. I know it’s kind of a pain…
Im struggling to figure out how to take 3 star footprint photos, i thought it was something to do with salts, and or uv footprints but i've played over 50 games and not found any footprints

Playing alone isn’t too bad lol outlast broke me haha
idk if i’m the only one but when i’m using the spirit box on ps5 it’s not letting me ask questions
Buttons only apparently
If you see the blue light next to the mic icon it means the game is detecting what you're saying, so the ghost can hear the questions you're asking, unfortunately on console the ghost can't "understand" what you're saying yet but it reacts to the sound of your voice
But the ghost should be able to understand what you're saying in a future update, for now we have the button dialogue options
@ yeah i’m playing on ps5 which is weird that it works and sometimes it doesn’t in the dark
Same here
what other cross play games like this and outlast trials?
What is the differents between global voice chat en voice chat
How the hell do I turn on my night vision goggles
Anyone have tips for the notebook? My friend and I can't seem to get them to write in it
You need to crouch and hold L2 to place it for it to work instead of dropping it with the R3 button
Is the game cross compatible?
@@applesfromthegroundsir3009 it is cross play but there is unfortunately no cross progression if that’s what you’re asking!

Check options and go to audio, it's auto set on push to talk, set it to the other setting and you should be good
Can xbox play with ps?
Yes, crossplay is enabled by default
I cant talk in phas on ps5
Change ur audio mic thing setting
Isn’t it missing stuff from pc
Only thing missing is voice recognition ghosts can still hear the players just not understand what they are saying
So there is still some immersion but they said they would as voice recognition soon
