Unlocking and Utilizing the Parabolic Microphone in Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia offers a range of equipment to aid in ghost hunting, and the Parabolic Microphone stands out as a particularly useful tool. This guide details how to unlock and effectively use this crucial piece of equipment.
Unlocking the Parabolic Microphone
The Parabolic Microphone is optional equipment, requiring specific levels to unlock. Tier 1 is unlocked at Level 7. Upgrades to Tier 2 (Level 31, $3,000) and Tier 3 (Level 72, $5,000) are available through the in-game shop. Remember, prestiging resets your level, requiring you to unlock each tier again. You can carry up to two microphones regardless of party size.
Using the Parabolic Microphone
Equip the Parabolic Microphone from the in-game truck's equipment wall after purchasing it. Activate/deactivate it using the appropriate button. Tier 3 features a directional radar.
On larger maps, the Parabolic Microphone aids in locating ghosts through sound detection (e.g., object throwing, door movements, ghostly whispers). It can also fulfill optional objectives requiring ghost voice recordings. Specific ghosts, such as the Deogen or Banshee, produce unique sounds only detectable with this microphone, aiding in identification.
