Weekly's Challenge Mode

[iLinlinn]

I HECKIN LOVE PLAYING WITH NO THERMO, NO PARABOLIC, NO EVENTS, NO HUNTS, AND PASSIVE GHOSTS IN A FREAKIN' HIGHSCHOOL MAP. IT MUST BE VERY FUN FOR US TO FIND THEM, LOVE THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE, I MUST SAY THE DEVS ARE VERY CLEVER WITH THEIR MARKETING PLAN! 11/10 MORE NEW PLAYERS COMING IN :))))

Hm. I think your caps lock is broken, kid?!

I just think some of the challenges for $3000 are a joke for the money. It should be way more.

Isn't this weeks challenge "Seeker" - wouldn't really be fun to cheat when the ghost is trying to hide now is it? :P

But in all seriousness I really shouldn't have to state the obvious - it's a weekly challenge for a reason; in this case it's how competent are you at finding the ghost room.
This is honestly a beginner friendly challenge that can help you hone your hearing to pick up on more subtle clues to where a ghost may be at. Sounds pretty basic, but that's the point - your ears are one of your greatest tools to use when it comes to pinpointing where the ghost is, and this challenge forces you to rely on them.

Beyond that, this is more true to a real world ghost hunting experience (with the debatable existence of an actual ghost), which is kinda fun to see in this game.

If you don't like the challenge, don't play the challenge? Like, have fun playing the game in whatever manner is fun to you, but don't complain when other people have fun doing it in a different way? I don't think Nightmare is fun, and Insanity sounds, frankly, insane, but I'm not mad they exist or that other people play them.

I just did it in 40 minutes with my friend that has 1 arm, no ears and 25 IQ.
Learn to play with the tools that you have at your disposal. Git gud m8.

It's more annoying than bad honestly - the ghost is entirely passive and will not hunt you ever, nor will your sanity ever drop below 100%.

So it's quite literally find the ghost and figure out what it is - the only catch is that you don't get any tools to help you find the room any sooner - so no Parabolic Mic or Temperature Guns... and no Strong Flashlights (but this is just mitigated by using 4x brightness)

Give yourself some advantages, and the challenge goes easy. Turn on the power. Make sure every door is open 100% of the way, check every room for ghost orbs as you go, and only turn on the long hallway lights. Listen for small sounds (ghosts tapping on windows, sinks in the distance, etc) and use that to hone in on the location. If you go in with friends, and everyone does this, you can look for disturbed doors when going back through an area, and narrow things down.

Also, it's rare, but the ghost CAN hunt. Specifically, if you get a Demon (confirmed) or presumably an Onryo (assumed), their abilities can trigger a hunt (Demon any time, Onryo if they blow out 3 candles), despite being stuck at 100% sanity. This caught us by surprise when our "safe" challenge suddenly had a Demon kill one of us XD

I can't tell if the complaint is the weekly challenge was too easy or too annoying because it was honestly pretty simple.
I think the ghost activity is upped just a tiny bit because for the three times my partner and I went through it, the ghost routinely hit up the phones so we easily located it within less than 10 mins.
Yeah it was weird that your sanity didn't go down, but having a freebie challenge here and there isn't much skin off my nose, as it isn't the main game mode anyway.

I think the complaint is purely annoyance - mainly on the tedium of going through High School without anything to pinpoint the ghost easily.

But then again, it wouldn't be a challenge if there wasnt... well, a challenge. I can understand it... but given it's gonna cycle soon, a moot point overall.

It's been said many times before but this is a perfect example of why the game needs something like a PDA for accessing what information the van has. The way the game limits the player to being able to carry only 3 items, the small range of sound sensors (on medium/large maps they should be viable but they're not) and only being able to see that information in the van has made them pretty much useless.

The most challenging part is not dying of old age as you trek through the building with the current sprint. They seriously need to either make it last longer on bigger maps, or shorten the cooldown. Or, at the very least, infinite sprint outside of the building.

Did 6 rounds of this challenge (3 by myself and 3 with a friend after he had already done a round himself) and only failed to find the ghost 1 time.

It’s definitely the most I’ve ever used the sound sensors, and actually it kind of caused me to incorporate them in normal ply a bit more.

I can see why people might not care for the challenge, but I personally do not feel like it was all that bad

[Eko]

i loved this challenge lol

[⛧Bartzabel⛧]

At this point the discussion forum of phasmophobia is full of people who think the world revolves around them...if you don't like it then play insanity, nightmare whatever difficulty...it's called "challenge" for a reason...it should be a challenge for whatever reason given
