What counts as freezing temps in Phasmophobia? The simple thermometer is one of the best items in any Phasmophobia investigation. While you may or may not find freezing temps to help identify your ghost companion, it can also be used to locate the ghost room.
While a few of the Phasmo ghost types can be identified from freezing temperatures, the thermometer is one of the first items we equip in any Phasmophobia match for more than one reason. But what actually counts as freezing in the ghost game? And how else can you use this handy item? Let us explain all.
Phasmophobia freezing temperatures
In Phasmophobia, anything below 33°F/1°C is considered freezing temperatures for the purpose of ghost identification. Temperatures can also drop faster in freezing temps.
To obtain freezing temperatures as a piece of evidence, you must use a thermometer, and you must witness a temperature below 1°C. Seeing cold breath used to count, but this has since changed. While seeing your chilled breath does signify dropping temperatures, you still need to check the thermometer for an actual reading.
How to use a Phasmo thermometer
As we've mentioned above, the thermometer is one of the most useful items in your inventory, and we take it as one of our first items most of the time.
The reason for this is that temperature - freezing or otherwise - is a great, fast way to determine the ghost room. Taking this in first, therefore, allows you to find the room quickly and set up the rest of your items afterwards.
We must add that cold temps, and even freezing temps, don't guarantee the location of the ghost as temperatures drop in the presence of the ghost only. Similarly, you might not see cold temperatures in the ghost room right away. However, we still find this and the Parabolic Mic among the fastest and most foolproof ways of locating the ghost.
So, that's how to obtain freezing temps as evidence in Phasmophobia. If your ghostie isn't chilling the place out, then you may need to gain other evidence, such as speaking to a ghost through a spirit box or seeing its form through a DOTS Projector. You should also try Phasmophobia Challenge mode if you're looking to make things harder on yourself.
