In playing Phasmophobia, understanding the concept of line of sight can dramatically improve your ghost-hunting strategy. From my experience, ghosts with line of sight, such as the Banshee and Revenant, behave differently compared to those without it, like certain less common spirits. When a ghost has line of sight, it can detect you more reliably when you're in direct view, and its speed typically increases as it chases you. For example, the Revenant only speeds up when it clearly sees its target, which means hiding behind corners or obstacles can buy you critical seconds. On the other hand, ghosts without line of sight rely more on proximity than direct view to track you. This distinction is vital when planning your escape routes. I found EMF Level 5 readings crucial to confirming the presence of a ghost but pairing this with observing their line of sight behavior helps narrow down the type, especially when combined with other evidence like spirit box or fingerprints. Tools like cameras and motion sensors become more valuable when you understand these mechanics because you can anticipate the ghost's movement patterns rather than just react. Another tip is paying attention to the ghost’s speed changes; some, like the Deogen, only have two speed states but can be very dangerous when they accelerate during the hunt. Knowing which ghosts increase their speed gradually when pursuing you can help you decide when to hide or sprint. Ultimately, mastering line of sight dynamics helps in survival and successful identification in Phasmophobia. It’s a subtle yet powerful factor you might overlook initially, but once understood, it significantly enhances your gameplay experience and team coordination.
