The Nightmare update for Phasmophobia was released last week, and the developers from Kinetic Games are hoping that you’ve enjoyed it so far.
Anyway, there is another update rolled out that brings changes and improvements to the Ouija Board. Other changes are also added for some ghosts and fingerprints. Do read further to find out the best things about Patch 0.4.1.0.
Improved Ouija Board
The devs added new questions to the Ouija Board to give you an estimate of your character’s level of sanity. Another major change is that the board is now guaranteed on Nightmare difficulty.
While you are given a general idea of your sanity percentage, you should not consult the board all the time. For each time you do it, your sanity drops by a small amount.
A fix has also been applied that prevents the board’s answers to overlap when asking multiple questions.
Other Notable Changes
Hunting ghosts has become a lot less annoying now as changing preferred rooms is now tied to your sanity level. The higher the sanity, the lesser the chance the ghost will change rooms.
When the Nightmare update was released, the ghost Obake did not leave any fingerprint evidence for you to pick up. Fortunately, the developers have changed this, so you can now gather fingerprints as you would do in non-nightmare difficulties.
Speaking of fingerprints, they now have a 100% chance to spawn, and they last a full two minutes before fading out. Furthermore, fingerprints can now be left in certain areas in the Maple Lodge Campsite, including the picnic benches, small tents, and cooler boxes.
