With the rising popularity of Phasmophobia, players across the world are getting into this horror game along with up to 3 friends at a time. However, everyone is discovering that the title isn’t some Ghostbusters-like adventure but instead a mysterious paranormal investigation that challenges the whole team. To that end, there is an intense learning curve for beginners, such as knowing how to change difficulties.
At the start, players will be stuck with one option while getting the hang of Phasmophobia. Even after mastering the basics and finding spooky evidence, switching difficulties isn’t simply something that can be done with the push of a button. Thankfully, the option to select harder content will gradually unlock as players advance through the game.
Initially, the only choice available to players are Amateur level maps. However, gaining access to other difficulties will happen once the player character reaches certain levels. Leveling up is done through finishing specific tasks and managing to survive being haunted in typical horror game fashion. Intermediate difficulty unlocks at level 10 while the Professional difficulty is hidden until after level 15. Note that these harder difficulties are tied to specific maps meaning players can’t just play familiar stages over and over again.
As a result, changing the difficulty boils down to simply switching maps. This ramped-up challenge takes place in the form of bigger areas to explore plus a 50 or 100-percent faster sanity drain on Intermediate and Professional difficulty, respectively. Normally, players also have 5 minutes to prepare and set up equipment before any ghostly interference, but Intermediate shrinks this down to 3 minutes while the ghost is immediately active on Professional. Despite all these setbacks on harder maps, there’s a small chance players will be given a lower difficulty map in the waiting lobby so there’s no need to be frustrated on Intermediate and Professional all the time.
To compensate, the inflated difficulty and hardships also have better rewards for teams that can triumph over them with the Crucifix and other equipment. Finishing an Intermediate map gives 2 times the money and 50-percent more EXP while Professional maps ramp this up to 3 times the payout and 100-percent more EXP.
In the end, Phasmophobia players can agree that changing difficulties in-game isn’t the most straightforward task compared to similar titles in the genre. Eventually unlocking them, however, opens the door for more experiences with friends and to get scared out of their wits.
Phasmophobia is available on PC.
