Unlike other ghosts, Obakes have a unique ability to shapeshift, making them one of the more elusive and intriguing entities in the game. From my experience, catching this shapeshift requires patience, quick reflexes, and being well-prepared with the right equipment. One tip is to always keep a video camera handy when investigating rooms where an Obake is suspected. The shapeshift often happens quickly and may not be detected by typical ghost hunting equipment alone. It’s also essential to monitor the D.O.T.S Projector—this tool can reveal ghostly disturbances that may precede a shapeshift event. In addition, freezing temperatures below 0°C (32°F) are a common phenomenon around Obakes, so using a thermometer can help confirm the ghost’s presence. I found that combining evidence like ghostly handprints revealed by an ultraviolet (UV) flashlight along with recordings of the shapeshift substantially improves the chance of identifying the Obake confidently. Keep in mind, however, that while the shapeshift video is incredible, it doesn't count toward the in-game video evidence objective or tier bonuses, so it’s more for personal achievement and to share with the community. Overall, witnessing an Obake shapeshift is one of the most unique and rewarding experiences in Phasmophobia. It adds a new dimension to ghost hunting by presenting rare supernatural phenomena that can only be captured through vigilant gameplay and the perfect timing. For those dedicated to uncovering every ghostly secret, hunting an Obake and recording its shapeshift is a must-try challenge.
