Best items to use in the Phasmophobia Speedrun Challenge

Fortunately, you’ll have plenty of advantages to quickly get you through the challenge. This includes player speed increase, all Cursed Possessions, Tier 3 items, and activated Fuse boxes (turn on lights around the house). Once you’re ready, grab the following items:

  • EMF Reader
  • UV Light
  • Thermometer
  • D.O.T.S. Projector
  • Tripod Camera
  • Spirit Box
  • Haunted Mirror

First, use the Haunted Mirror at 6 Tanglewood Drive, which is near the master bedroom. Interact with it to see the ghost’s favorite room, aka their preferred spot in the house. Don’t use it for too long, or you may trigger a cursed haunt (breaking the mirror and eliminating you).

Enter the Haunted Mirror’s room and use any of the items mentioned above. Place the D.O.T. Projector on the wall to monitor any movement in its radius. Utilize the Thermometer and UV Light for any Ultraviolet or Freezing Temperature Evidence. You can also set up the Tripod and exit the room to monitor any movement via the Truck. You just want to throw in as much equipment as possible to gather three pieces of evidence in under five minutes or so.

Test out all the equipment to see what type of ghost it is, and then head to the Truck once you’ve acquired enough evidence. Sometimes, you’ll get lucky and finish the task in a minute, while other times, you’ll have to wait for more proof. To complete the Phasmophobia Speedrun chall🔯enge, you mu༺st identify the 6 Tanglewood Drive ghosts in three different playthroughs.

You’ll get 5,000 cash in return, allowing you to purchase more equipment in other modes. It’s a pretty easy way to make cash, whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer to the game. Plus, you can participate in this task again whenever it pops up. Just use the techniques above, and you should complete the round in a few minutes.
