Phasmophobia

When completing the Apocalypse, I recommend starting with the last one right away. Since it is the most difficult, after completing it you will immediately receive both bronze and silver.

I have studied many guides and have identified a method for myself, following which I can complete it. Perhaps you will mark something useful for yourself. You should understand that this is pure randomness. No one can guarantee a quick and painless completion here. Everything depends on what tasks you get, what kind of ghost you get, where he spawns. Therefore, be prepared for a long game. And it is far from a fact that one day.

First, in the settings in the template, change the weather to "fog", because rain and thunderstorms will interfere with hearing the ghost. Second, since the shield is off, the flashlights do not work, and the night vision device turns off in the presence of the ghost - turn the brightness to maximum (on a matte monitor everything is perfectly visible, but on a glossy TV it's a disaster).

What equipment to take:
Incense T1 - the ghost has high speed, and the player has low speed, which is why it is not profitable for us to stun the ghost. It will be more profitable for us to scare him off, so that the ghost runs away from us far and, preferably, for a long time.
Crucifixion T2/T3, Salt T2/T3 - from Banshee, Mirage, Phantom.
Lighter T3, Lamp T3 - they will last for the entire contract.
Directional Microphone T3 - Listen to hunting, identify ghosts, detect Banshee screams, and is also a quest item.
Laser projector (T2/T3) - for room lighting. I find it more convenient to hang the T3 on the wall and direct the grid to a convenient angle.
Motion Sensor (more convenient with T3) - a quest item, and also a way to understand if a ghost is visiting you.
EMP T3 - a quest item. Tier 3 has a larger radius of action.
A camera is a must-have item, without which the apocalypse cannot be carried out. Choose a shooting range at your discretion. I prefer T3, as it takes pictures faster, but it is electronic, that is, the ghost will feel it if you have it in your hands. The T1 camera is not electronic, you can safely hold it in your hands, the guest will feel it only when taking pictures.

Tactics of action.
Load up the map, look at the tasks. If you got the task "Witness a paranormal phenomenon", then I recommend leaving immediately. Since our sanity is 0%, the probability that the guest will give us an event is very low. Usually, he prefers to start hunting right away. If you got the task "stop the ghost with a crucifix", then look at the situation. Go into the building, listen to one or two hunts. If the ghost did not come to you (Banshee, Mirage, Phantom) and did not eat the crucifix, then you can safely leave. I do not recommend this task, since you will have to go to the ghost's room. The rest of the tasks are generally doable.

So, you have loaded the order. You are satisfied with the tasks. Then I do the following. I take a crucifix, incense, a lighter and a lamp. I go into the building, position myself at the entrance in the doorway, put the crucifix and the lamp on the floor, incense in my hand. I listen to the first hunt. If the guest did not come to me during the first hunt (this is not Deogen) and did not eat the crucifix (not Mirage, Banshee, Phantom), then at the end of the hunt I go to the car for a directional microphone. I return, experience the second hunt. During the second hunt, I listen to the guest through the directional microphone. If nothing is heard, then the ghost is far away, and I leave the order. And I do this until everything matches: the ghost is nearby, the tasks are satisfactory.

Next, I start bringing the equipment I need from the car (necessarily all 4 lamps, all 4 incense sticks, a laser projector, a camera, an item for the task (EMF/Motion Sensor/salt). In order not to waste time, I do not go into the mental hospital every time, but throw everything inside near the door, standing on the street. When all the equipment I need is inside, I start distributing it to its places. I have determined for myself the room in which I go through the apocalypse - the manager's office (at the entrance to the mental hospital straight ahead and behind the counter to the left). First, I put lamps in the lobby and office for lighting, then I drag all the items to the manager's office, arrange the lighting in the office, items for completing the task, and in the meantime I listen to the ghost during the hunt in a directional microphone. When everything is arranged as I need, I listen to the directional microphone for a couple more hunts to identify the ghost (it is better to sit at the table on the window side. Several times I sat by the wall bordering the corridor, the guest felt the microphone and ran to me). When I am ready to meet the ghost, I wait for the next hunt through a directional microphone. I start the timer from the beginning of the hunt. I take 2 incense sticks, a lighter and a camera. After 45 seconds, I call the ghost to me. The ghost runs up, I stink it with incense, it starts to run away, meanwhile I take a picture of it, it gets angry at the camera and runs to me again, I stink it again, it turns away from me and loses sight, I hide behind a chair and, as a rule, the hunt is already coming to an end here, the ghost disappears. I recommend starting the time from when you stink it, so that by the effect of the incense you can also shorten the list of GOSTs. As a rule, the tasks at this point are already completed, half of the GOSTs from the list are crossed out. All we have to do is correctly identify the ghost and leave.

My advice to you. Try to wind up Deogen and do not miss it under any circumstances. If you get Deogen, then 5 minutes and the shards are in your pocket.
