Deogen Level Requirement?

[DPGamez]

I keep finding conflicting answers on whether if Deo's have a minimum level or not. most commonly i see that you will not see a deo if you are under level 30, is that the case? I have even heard Meik say that you will not get a deo if you are under level 30.

[Ellixen]

From what I've heard it's 30. But they also seem pretty rare in general (at least in my experience).

[Maestro Minny]

I did do some research and yes, this comes from Phasmo discord staffs and you wont be able to see a deogen if you are prestige 0, level <30.
This is due to the hunt behavior is completely different for new players when they are learning the game mechanics will make them hella confused

[Myth Alric]

I have never heard anything about a restriction on what ghosts you can get for any reason. Though I have never been prestige 0.

[NeuroticNicky]

This is correct. Prestige 0 Level 1-29 will never get the Deogen as an option, providing that they are either in singleplayer or the host of a multiplayer lobby. The only way for a level 0-29 to get a Deogen in a game is if they are in multiplayer and the host is at least prestige 0 level 30.

You can get it at any level. Look at my achievements, I identified a Deogen at level 5. The level 30 thing isn't true.

It is true... I just checked and confirmed it via the Wiki page... to which I shall now quote the relevant section below

Originally posted by Phasmophobia Wiki, Deogen page, Trivia section:

The Deogen cannot be the ghost selected for the contract if the lobby's host is below Prestige 0 Level 30. This is due to the Deogen's hunt mechanics being so drastically different from other ghosts that new players still learning the hunt mechanics would be too confused by it.

The Mimic can still, however, imitate the Deogen before Prestige 0 Level 30.

Keep in mind as well that anyone who played prior to the Ascension update got fast tracked to Prestige 1, so this rule can ONLY apply to brand new players, and only if they are the host the lobby they are in

I just bought the game two days ago lmao. I'm a level five, no prestige. Once again, check my achievement. I'm currently level 10.

Never did sit well with me that Mimics, Thayes, Morois, and Demons get no level requirements despite being legitimately as or more dangerous than a Deo.

I'm not denying that you got a Deogen... I'm saying that you are not factoring in one of the conditions and just writing this off as complete misinformation.

So let me make this crystal clear - a Deogen will not appear if you are marked as the leader/host of a lobby while below prestige 0, level 30.

So then... were you the one in control of starting the game? If not, then whoever was actually in control was experienced enough to clear this condition.

Let ME make this crystal clear. I only play solo. I was the host. That is why I am writing this off as complete misinformation.

Yeah something broke in the reply... I got my order wrong for the stop shorthands... fixed it for ya though.

In your case then it might have been a bug... or it might not apply to solo play. As far as I can tell based on that additional info... that shouldn't have happened.

Yet you've the achievement, where you've to die against the Banshee in multiplayer match, so your claims definitely need to be taken with a grain of salt at this point.

Though if you feel like you've found a bug, feel free to file a bug report about it.

I assume it is just bugged, same as the custom difficulty mode unlock
that one also randomly unlocks for people with 0 prestige and <lvl50 even though its supposed to have a level requirement
i assume the game just has some little glitch in the prestige-or-level check and will randomly unlock stuff as if you already prestiged, even if you did not

its curious though, the wiki used to aknowledge this bug for custom difficulty saying
"This is supposed to be unlocked at level 50. In some cases, the player may unlock it even earlier due to a bug."
but someone removed this sentence from the wiki? was this bug fixed?


Edit:
actually to the OP: can you check if you have the custom difficulty unlocked as well right now?

I Don't think this game has a level requirement for anything other than equipment, difficulties and map. Once you unlock them for the first time, you won't have a problem unlocking them again.

You can find any ghosts any moment in any match. Specially if you play other players.
