The sad part for me is that you actually need to be somewhat decent at the game to level up quickly and I'm way too far from being good enough for those difficulties. No way I can tell what a ghost is by listening to their footsteps, unless it's a Revenant.

I really appreciate you going through the distinguishing characteristics of each ghost. Really helpful!!!

It might not be the fastest, but for beginners you can buff the ghost getting to 5.5x but your sanity is normally drained and you get all 3 evidence before the ghost hunts. On tangle you will get 1000-2000 every 5 mins at 100% pick.

The ghost traits said in the video for anyone who wants to copy paste them. Phasmaphobia Ghost Traits Spirit - Can’t figure out Wraith - Can’t figure out, unless you have salt and it doesn’t leave a foot print if it walks thru the salt Phantom - Blinking slower than usual Poltergeist- Throws allot while hunting Banshee - Can’t figure out solo Jinn - Can’t figure out (unless you have the breaker on) Mare - Can’t figure out Revenant - Fast if it sees you, slow if it doesn’t see you Shade - Can’t figure out Demon - Can’t figure out Yurei - Can’t figure out Oni - Blinks extremely fast (basically you can see it all the time) Yokai - Cannot detect equipment from far away, talk to it during a hunt and if it can’t find you it’s a Yokai Hantu - Slightly faster, and look for freezing breath from the ghosts mouth Goryo - Can’t figure out Myling - Will be really quiet Onryo - Can’t figure out The Twins - Slower or Faster depending on which one Raiju - Will be faster if you have equipment around Obake - Can switch ghost models during hunt The Mimic - Can’t figure out Moroi - Will be really fast but not as fast as Thaye, and if you smudge it it’ll be distracted for longer Deogen - Super fast, but slow when it’s close to you Thaye - Is the fastest ghost

This is an excellent way for new players to be able to learn the various ghost types by hunt. It's hard for me to remember with all the other stuff in between. Thanks for another great video Insym!

if you're on camp woodwind and you check the default camera on the monitor you can see ghost orbs if you turn on night vision you can see the forced ghost orbs

damn i remember back when the game came out i watched your streams. its been 3 years already but you still have so much fun with the game, i love it keep up the work

If you want to Yokai test, you can just use the radio button. Voice isn't very reliable (at least for me) in getting the attention of non-Yokais, but the radio will do it every time. Fun fact, you can also use the radio to test for Raiju - it won't speed him up, but if the ghost is very far away and you get radio static, it's a Raiju. I've been doing something like this on Willow, usually just bringing in a crucifix so I didn't get insta-fragged at the entrance. I never thought to try it on this map.

It was an amazing quick comparison between the ghost speeds and their hunting differences!

This is actually pretty fun. Had a 26 second win on this, walked in, it was a polter and did the polter bomb on all the crap to the right of the gate, I just walked right out.

i was doing these runs and you can pretty accurately figure out if its a demon so long as you wait for 2 hunts. basically, you wait till it comes near you during a hunt and you smudge it. then you start a timer, if it hunts BEFORE 90 seconds has passed then its a demon. the hunt grace period after a smudge is 60 seconds for a demon and 90 for every other ghost.

It’s always amazing watching insym play the new update ❤

So glad to be back watching you. You were my entertainment during 2020/1. I went back to many of your old videos and I never realized how much I missed watching your content. I used to comment on nearly every video of yours to the point that I had a badge for it. Love the videos. Thank you.

an absolutely disgustingly good way to level up

This actually seems like a really good way for new players to understand the different hidden abilities of the ghosts and be able to identify them alot better

I think I would end up doing this, but not for the reasons you'd think. Sure I want to level, but really what I need to get good at is identifying ghosts by their hunt steps. Doing something like this would basically allow me to hear varying footsteps back to back without the long amount of time I usually take carefully exploring a map in order to find and identify the ghost.

As others said, I love this just for learning the more obvious hunting patterns, most of the time you get at least 150-180 exp for smudging the ghost and if you are able to easily tell what ghost it is, you get some great exp out of it. I rose from level 14 to 24 in a couple of minutes, but sadly the game wouldn't pick up my mic and when I restarted strangely the fog "vanished" and I couldn't see the ghost very well anymore, dunno what happened there during the restart. Just wanted to powerlevel until I can unlock the tier 2 dots sensor to get out of laserpointer hell honestly :D

Grars on 90! I was doing something similar to this on Tanglewood, this works much better thank you. Finally got my pre-update items back, now I'll play normally for a while. 😊

i like your videos and strats! keep working!

as a new player (39 hours), this has been a great way for me to get used to looping as well as how to identify ghosts during a hunt (with the help of online guides to identify ghost behavior of course)! a very challenging but effective "thrown in the deep end" way of learning important aspects of the game quickly

I was just doing this pretty much all day with my friend. It's so effective, went from tier 1 items to starting to unlock certain tier 3s in a single day. Plus it's making us better at no evidence or not all 3 evidence. Excellent method.

i also find this thing so good for learning ghosts , I personally after every hunt i write down what happened during the hunt and it helped me improve

So in about 20 games I would like to share statistics about this method Around 10 of the runs were against non hunt ghosts like goryo onryo poltergeist The most common ones were poltergeist (3games) spirit (3games) obake (same) phantom (same) I was killed 2 times 1 one was my mistake against not properly tracking phantom 2 one was because of sudden hunt right on top of me (behind tables) Hunt were about 10 to 15 sec (medium time) Hunt started in about 10 sec after I entered (most sudden 2 sec) least sudden (1 min) Most optimized strategy from my opinion: not to bring anything except smudges and lighters Total right identified ghosts: 7 (Spirit 3) Total cash throughout 20 games earned: 17k Total cash lost: 5k Total exp earned: 17 lvls Total hours spent: 2h Ty for reading, enjoy this strat, Insym, you're one of the most favorite KZfaq creators for me

The new update has been extremely exciting but ive noticed that the pro players are able to get levels really fast whereas the level system works great for newer players which is gonna be really hard for the devs to balance without making it harder for one side

Even though I've gotten way more than half of them wrong at least I'm less scared of hunts now 😅 It's like exposure therapy

For any of you guys trying this who dont know, you can pull out the video camera to double check if you can see orbs from the truck before you leave. If there are orbs it is a mimic. If there arent, it still may be a mimic but at least you checked

ayyyyy ewrly twirly!!! love your yt channel u helped me alot!!

This is insane how you can level up so fast

@Insym in 4:56 the freezing problem might be something that's happening from the game. I don't have that experience like but I'm planning the game from 507 hours and haven't have one freeze. Continue the awesome work your doing 👍❣️

I've been watching your vids for a while now. Since I started to play phasmo a little before the update. But never subscribed.... the line "this is too much cheese for me, and I'm a fucking dutch guy" killed me. I finally subscribed. You're the best.

this is a good way to learn the ghost types based on hunts only.

This video helped me out the most so far

For only -x0.30, you can also set the hiding places to Very High if you're like me, a scared b who can't loop to save their life. That way you'll get the entrance hiding spot, and only make line of sight when you're comfortable

I went to highschool on x12.50 rewards, realized I forgot my candle/lighter because was doing starter only, guessed Moroi because its been my most common ghost and left. Got a nice lucky $3750 with 0 skill, 100% luck build.

this is literally what ive been usin haha. nice video insym :))

thank you foor letting me know all over the gost hunts :)

I'm kinda scaredy cat when it comes to 0% sanity but I gave it a go. First ghost was a Rev, so on a winning hype I went second time. Another Rev KEKW this time I did die, I really didn't believe it wasn't a Mimic. It a few runs that I did I had (among the others) a Demon guessed correctly after I died, a Deo and third Rev. Tho I was mostly proud of getting Moroi right, wasn't sure if Twins but the Incense came in clutch! I was actually surprised how much I've got from your videos. No evidence 0% sanity wasn't my cup of tea, but I think I need to reconsider this, the serotonins man.

A decent way to farm is to play on apocalypse 3 (x15 rewards) and have 4 people, we kept throwing people at the ghost and we have 4 hunts basically to figure out the ghost by its behavior

i laughed at the cheese joke 'thats too much cheese for me and I'm a dutch guy' 🤣 that was awesome put that on a shirt 🤣

If you want to you can also test for demon. I snudged the ghost during the hunt, and with another pair of smudges stayed until it hunted again which took less then 90 seconds

that god damn gate sound when you open it sounds exactly like my alarm I've had for the past 6 years. I swear to god I am going through a ptsd flashback for it

"Enough IRL sanity" Yeah that's basically what separates me from Insym xD I don't have the nerves of steel to handle this. *And I climb 240' towers by ladder :'D* ALSO: Easy Mimic Check is to just look at the camera already set up for Woodwind. Just do a cursory glance for a Gorb at the start and if you see a Gorb it's 100% a mimic.

I love your streams!!!

Yurei you can though it relies on a bit of luck, since Yurei is bugged it will fully open a door instead of closing it when it does it's ability, which can be used on the front door/gate, so if the gate suddenly opens all the way, only the Yurei can do that since it's the only way a ghost can interact with the front door/gate other than closing it for a hunt

That mimic was so funny 😂

i freaking love these videos

His reaction to the Mimic is pretty much spot on lol

His "Hi KZfaq!" always gets me to smile!!!!!! 😄 0:00

So it's basically like the old system when you were doing 3 objectives on camp woodwind (glitched on the tent so the ghost couldn't kill you) on 18x multiplier. The game took like 3 minutes max and you've got 11-15 levels

Insym never fails to put a smile on my face

Yeah this is how I've been leveling, nothing really comes close. I use the campfire but I guess the benches are easier to avoid getting spotted. Baited! The benches do NOT block line of sight at all hahaha

I was watching those speed runners this morning, and with a team of 4, they were doing all objectives, too.

You can see a hantu's breath during a hunt when the breaker is off (which is always gonna be off since it'll be broken if you're using this mode)

I have a setup at 9.67x difficulty for people that don’t like kiting ghosts during hunts. The goal is to just not get a hunt at all and do everything while your sanity is still high. You need 1 evidence type and for most ghosts you can get a definitive answer in roughly 10-15 minutes. Some ghosts take longer, but if you have decent ghost knowledge, you can rule out almost every ghost every run without getting hunts. You can usually get perfect games too if you don’t mind getting risky to complete certain objectives. Basically everything related to the ghost can be cranked all the way up since hunts are not going to happen. Then just turn on your favorite map on 1 evidence and try and find that evidence as quick as possible while ruling out as many ghosts as possible. Easiest ghosts on this difficulty are mimic, moroi, obake, wraith, poltergeist and yurei. Impossible ghosts are revenant and sometimes deogen and hantu is just a 33% when you get freezing temps. I would say you can have a 90% accuracy within 15 minutes most games. Sometimes you just get the mare ability and can full send it in 30 seconds.

For me, this isn't just a cheese method, it's also an excellent hunt recognition practice setting.

You can use the flashlight on the head gear to test for raiju, that way you don’t need to waste time with bringing anything in

I agree with the Camp Woodwind being a good level to grind on. Easy to find the ghost *room* with the Themometer, and the pinic tables are a reliable hiding spot, even while having Hiding Spots off.

I really need lvls, this helps a lot :)

This method is insane! Used this today (for quite a long time lol) and gained 2 prestige's and a few levels.

This guide is goated. I just got from 25-35 in like an hour and a half.

3:40 Him explaining how to quickly figure out the ghost (saving this for myself lol)

hey Insym! just tested this and found that its very easy to see the Hantu's freezing breath during hunts in fog along side listening to the changing footsteps to rule out Hantu (i had a candle for the objective when i found this out not sure if it makes a difference)

"Unless it's the Mimic"...Insym, I think CJ programmed your profile to be prone to Mimics more than any other player. XD

Wait ur dutch? Bro i had no clue and i've been watching u for over 2 years😂😂

that headset brings back memories

Bro seeing that reward shocked me, that's crazy

Amazing I started doing this too and it’s actually kind of fun I made the ghost and player both normal speed and have like 13x difficulty, played by myself and was easy sometimes and decided to use it in multiplayer and had a good squad that knew what I was doing so made it easier to identify tha ghost off of speed, flickering, and etc… oh yea now sanity is over rated I don’t even bother with it anymore on any difficulty

Can you make a tutorial video where ghosts reveal their own kind while hunting? you are king

Been grinding this and it's oddly fun to do? Like it's strangely satisfying to run it, identify off one hunt, and retry over and over. helps me also realized Im better at the game than I really thought I was too. Don't know how many times I'm gonna prestige though, probably only once lol

This 12.97x is called "doofygobbers". That's how the speedrunners wanted to call it, just saying ! Nice content Insym. :)

this is more filthy than the stuff I watch on orange youtube

You can figure out Wraith. Dump salt between the picnic tables and when the ghost comes over, loop it between the tables. I grab the salt and toss it into the map, then grab the smudge sticks and head in. If you get a motion sensor objective, toss the motion sensor in with the salt and set the motion sensor on the edge of the table's bench and then place salt. Loop the ghost through the tables again and you'll get even more $$. Also, if you want to spend a little extra time, just open the gate and don't walk through. Listen and watch and you might get lucky if it's a Poltergeist and you'll see a big throw (I had one chuck a spoon out of the gate at me) or the Wraith, Phantom or Banshee might teleport/roam to you at the entrance. If you drop and EMF at the entrance, it will go off and tell you what you might have.

This honestly feels more like a skill thing. You need to be looking out for so many things that my brain could not be able to do it.

love your videos, but i do hope u do a avg/normal player boosted level farming. this require some expert level knowledge/ really good hearing to tell differeneces. i am currently doing 5.2x and winning 90% of the time.

mimic isn't impossible, you can see dots from the truck, this doesn't always work but the two times i've gotten mimic using this strat i've JUST BARELY seen orbs from the gate

I learnt so much about ghosts from this cheese.

One good way for players without much knowledge to level up is to keep sanity options at standard (amateur) settings, while maxing out all the ghosts stats so the ghost is overpowered. Then just never let it hunt, don't do risky challenges, and take your 5.4x multiplier.

That was so nasty I feel like I need a shower after watching that 🤣

this is a good way to learn how to circle ghosts and learn all the ghost patterns.

This will be so usefull!!

Lol, went to try it, got Obake too :D And grandma was also the reason I found it out

I feel good that my common ghost is a deogen and not a mimic because of how many times insym gets scammed by the mimic i would rage so much on no evidence alone from it but he is in my opinion the goat of Phasmophobia and will always be in my heart he taught me so much and ive learned almost everything from him except his skill 😂 have a great day yall ✌🏻keep grinding

you can find yurei when it does a ghost event far away and it just fully closes the front door.

I was trying this today. Got a ghost that I thought for sure was a Myling, was super duper quiet. I get in the truck, press the button to leave, and on the screen I saw ghorbs. I panicked and stopped the leave to set it to mimic lol.

I was a level nine when I joined a lobby yesterday who were doing this. The guy actually speed running was really nice and let stay and get XP. I'm now level 60.

for Hantu you can simply check for cold breath coming out of its mouth. It's really one of the easiest ones.

me and my friends started playing about a month ago and were trying to study the ghost behaviors so we can actually farm money and xp because weve been miserable with tier 1 items and we can barely buy the equipments

Holy moly 0:26 has he got no sleep with those bags under the eyes😮

You can find out jinn by throwing an emf reader over the fence before you enter, if you hear footsteps and then the emf it is a jinn

pro tip: you can know if its a raiju IF its on the other side and you use your radio, if your radio doesnt work when its far away, its a raiju. im pretty sure it works because i got it by doing that

Insym: Forgive me father for I have sinned DK:... wtf is happening

Madixx and his team are currently Prestige 16 going onto Prestige 17 as of time of me writing this comment using this strategy It is definitely insane

I just started playing this game a week ago. I enjoy it for the tension. The jump scares. The nervousness. I feel like I wouldn't like the game anymore if I lost those things.

"That is too much cheese for me - and I'm a f*cking Dutch guy" That quote is going down in history, it had me dying

THANK YOU INSYM AND SPEED RUNNERS!! Hopefully the Devs won't change the XP settings. i really need all these cheese cuz I can play only a little amount of time cuz of work 😔. Really need all the XP to level up really fast 🙏🏻

*ghost wanders all the way across the map to me, flashes normally* Me: "must be Banshee" Ghost: *Goryo* -_-

I knew it you are Dutch I thought like nah his face looks way to Dutch to be English but damn you’re English is good ❤

You Talk Something My Friend 7:06 😀😁😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I just noticed that hantu have cold breathe while hunting, if its not coincedence. So its pretty easy to detect him. (3 of 3 times in my game it was hantu)

Hey everyone ❤ hope you had a fantastic day
