How To Use A Ouija Board In Phasmophobia

The Ouija board is a powerful communication tool in Phasmophobia that allows you to interact directly with ghosts and gather information about their characteristics. This guide will walk you through the proper steps to use the Ouija board effectively while avoiding critical mistakes that can trigger a ghost hunt.

Setting Up the Ouija Board

To begin using the Ouija board, simply pick it up from your equipment and place it on a flat surface within the location. Once placed, click on it once to activate it. This action will place an indicator (sometimes referred to as a planchette or dice) on the board, marking it as ready for communication.

Communicating with the Ghost

Once the Ouija board is active and ready, you can begin asking the ghost questions. The ghost will respond by moving the indicator to spell out answers on the board. For example, you can ask questions like “How old are you?” and the ghost will respond with answers such as “35 years old.” This makes the Ouija board an excellent tool for gathering intelligence about the ghost’s characteristics and history.

Critical Warning: Always Say Goodbye

After you finish using the Ouija board, it is absolutely essential that you say goodbye to the ghost before leaving. Failing to say goodbye is a major mistake that will trigger consequences. If you abandon the Ouija board without properly closing the communication, the ghost will immediately begin hunting you. Additionally, the Ouija board itself will break shortly after, leaving you without this communication tool.

This is a critical error to avoid—forgetting to say goodbye not only puts you in immediate danger but also results in the loss of your Ouija board equipment for the rest of the investigation.

What Happens When You Forget

If you make the mistake of not saying goodbye, the Ouija board will break within seconds after you leave it. The ghost will then initiate a hunt, giving you only a few moments to escape or hide. This can quickly turn a productive investigation into a fight for survival.

Summary

Using a Ouija board in Phasmophobia is straightforward: place it, ask questions, and gather ghost intelligence. However, always remember to say goodbye before you leave. This simple courtesy prevents the ghost from hunting you and keeps your Ouija board intact for future use. Master this mechanic and you’ll unlock one of the most valuable communication tools available in your ghost hunting arsenal.
