Step-by-Step Smudging Guide

1. Prepare for the Ghost Hunt

Start by pulling out your smudge stick. Position yourself in a location where you expect the ghost to appear during the hunt phase. Having your smudge stick ready before the ghost arrives is critical for quick reaction times.

2. Wait for the Ghost to Approach

Once you’ve triggered a ghost hunt, the ghost will begin to hunt from outside your location. Stay in position and wait for the ghost to get close to you. This is when you’ll need to act quickly.

3. Activate the Smudge Stick

When the ghost gets close to you, use your lighter to ignite the smudge stick. Press the right button on your mask to activate the smudge effect. The smudge stick will automatically apply its effect to the ghost, temporarily disabling its ability to hunt or attack.

4. Retreat to Safety

Immediately after smudging the ghost, get inside the building or move to a safe location. The smudge effect provides a window of opportunity for you to escape the ghost’s line of sight.

Summary

Smudging a ghost in Phasmophobia is a straightforward but vital survival tactic. Equip your smudge stick and lighter, wait for the ghost to approach during a hunt, press the right button on your mask to activate the smudge, and quickly retreat to safety. Mastering this technique will significantly improve your chances of surviving ghost encounters.
