They're usually balanced, but The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge is a truly terrifying task tougher than any other. Even if you consider yourself to be an experienced ghost hunter, this trial is a very formidable one. Here's how to complete The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in Phasmophobia. What is The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in\u00a0Phasmophobia? The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge is one of the weekly rotating trials and can only be completed on the Sunny Meadows Restricted map. In this challenge, you have access to the best form of every piece of equipment, but this isn't all that useful since the ghost won't give you any evidence. The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia challenge rules All of the exact settings for this challenge are taken from the Apocalypse III preset except for player speed, so here's everything you want to know before heading into The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge. Player settings Starting sanity: Zero Sanity pill restoration: Zero Sanity drain speed: 200 percent Sprint: Off Player speed: 100 percent Flashlights: Off Ghost settings Ghost speed: 150 Roaming frequency: High Changing favorite room: High Interaction amount: Low Event frequency: Low Friendly ghost: Off Grace period: Zero Hunt duration: High Kill extend hunts: High Evidence given: Zero Contract settings Setup time: Zero Weather: Heavy rain Doors starting open: High Number of hiding places: None Sanity monitor: Broken Activity monitor: Broken Fuse box at start of contract: Broken Cursed Possessions quantity: Zero In addition to all of these official modifiers, there are a few other important details to know about this trial. This challenge must be completed at Sunny Meadows Restricted. Flashlights and UV Lights don't work. You have all Tier III equipment. Tier III: Head Gear, Sanity Medication, Ghost Writing Book, Igniter, Motion Sensor, Firelight, Crucifix, Incense, Parabolic Microphone, Salt, Spirit Box, Photo Camera, EMF Reader, Sound Sensor, Thermometer, UV Light, Tripod, DOTS Projector, Flashlight, and Video Camera. How to complete The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia weekly challenge To successfully complete The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in Phasmophobia, you have to identify what ghost is present at Sunny Meadows Restricted three times. This is a tough task that requires you to move quickly, use equipment strategically, and get lucky with what kind of ghost you're dealing with. Finishing this challenge earns you 5,000 experience and $5,000 cash. You also earn even more of both along the way, so finishing this trial is a great way to level up fast. The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia challenge tips To successfully complete this trial, you need to know the best tips for The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge so you can navigate through it three times and claim your rewards. Test for every ghost The best tip for this trial is to try and test for every ghost to check off which ones it can and can't be. This can be done by employing most of the same strategies you use during the No Evidence challenge. Ghost type Unique traitsBanshee \u2022 Will sometimes let out a unique wail through the Parabolic Microphone. \u2022 Targets one player at a time and remains focused on this player until they are killed or leave the game. \u2022 Has a higher likelihood of performing singing ghost events. Demon \u2022 The Crucifix's range is extended 50 percent farther for this ghost. \u2022 Smudging stops the Demon from hunting for a shorter period of time, so if a ghost hunts again around 60 to 90 seconds after being smudged, it might be a Demon. \u2022 Has a lower hunt cooldown than other ghosts, so if you notice a hunt with a cooldown of less than 25 seconds then it's likely a Demon. Deogen \u2022 Moves more slowly when near their chosen target, so if you notice a ghost moving rapidly toward a player before suddenly slowing down, it's likely a Deogen. \u2022 Always knows where players are when a hunt is active. Goryo \u2022 Can only be seen on the DOTS Projector through a Video Camera and when no players are around. \u2022 Less likely to wander around. Hantu \u2022 Moves more rapidly in colder areas during a hunt. \u2022 Can produce visible frosty breath during a hunt, which is the easiest way to identify it with no evidence. Jinn \u2022 Receives a speed boost when they are chasing a target who is far away. Mare \u2022 Is much more likely to initiate a hunt in a dark room and remains in the dark more often than most other ghosts. \u2022 Turns off lights more frequently than other ghosts. \u2022 Can't turn on any regular lights, but can turn on computers and televisions. \u2022 Will often turn a light off right after you turn it on. Moroi \u2022 Is affected by hyperosmia, which means smudging stuns it for 7.5 seconds rather than only five during a hunt. \u2022 Can curse players through the Spirit Box causing their sanity to drain twice as fast. Myling \u2022 Makes sounds on the Parabolic Microphone more frequently. \u2022 Is much quieter than all other ghosts during a hunt. This includes vocal noises and footsteps. Obake \u2022 Briefly shapeshifts into another visible ghost form at least once per hunt. \u2022 Sometimes leaves a unique UV Light print behind. This can be a six-fingered handprint, two fingerprints instead of just one, or five fingerprints instead of four on certain surfaces like keyboards and cell doors on the Prison map. Oni \u2022 Becomes more active with more players nearby. \u2022 The Oni's physical ghost model is visible for longer periods of time during a hunt. \u2022 Cannot create an airball during a ghost event. Ornyo \u2022 If a flame is lit, they cannot initiate a hunt and will instead blow out the flame. \u2022 If a flame is extinguished, they become angry and more likely to hunt. \u2022 More likely to blow out flames like campfires and candles as more players perish. Phantom \u2022 Taking a picture of this ghost causes it to become temporarily invisible. \u2022 If you snap a photo and a ghost appears in it, you can rule out the Phantom. \u2022 Is invisible more frequently during hunts. Poltergeist \u2022 Is able to throw more than one object at once and can generally throw items farther than other ghosts. \u2022 Will throw an item every 0.5 seconds during a hunt. Raiju \u2022 Active electronics boost the Raiju's speed during a hunt. \u2022 Messes with electronics from a farther distance when it's manifesting. Revenant \u2022 Moves very slowly when unaware of the player's location during a hunt and moves very rapidly when they are aware. \u2022 It's nearly impossible to run from a Revenant if they know your location, so if the ghost seems incredibly fast, it might be one. Shade \u2022 This is the shyest ghost of all and is the least likely to hunt or initiate ghost events. \u2022 Less active with multiple players around. \u2022 Hisses and appears as a shadowy form more often than other ghosts. Spirit \u2022 Is especially weak against Incense and won't initiate a hunt again for 180 seconds after being smudged instead of the usual 90. Thaye \u2022 Becomes much slower and less active over time based on how frequently you are around it. Very active as soon as you enter the map, but quickly decays and goes quiet over time. The Mimic \u2022 If you see any Ghost Orbs while completing this challenge then you've caught The Mimic. This ghost produces fake Ghost Orbs that don't count as part of its official evidence which makes them visible even with the no evidence modifier turned on in this trial. \u2022 Replicates the behaviors of other ghosts which makes it highly unpredictable. The Twins \u2022 Can create evidence far away from the actual ghost room. \u2022 The Twins may interact with the environment simultaneously \u2022 Can sometimes create unique Activity Chart patterns. \u2022 Each Twin can hunt at a different speed, so if the speed of the ghost hunting you seems to change with each hunt, it could be The Twins alternating. \u2022 They have a 50 percent chance to hunt from their current location and a 50 percent chance to initiate the hunt instead from wherever their last interaction was. Wraith \u2022 The Wraith will never step in Salt, so it's easy to rule this ghost out by simply placing some down. Yokai \u2022 Gets angered by players talking near it and becomes more likely to initiate a hunt because of this. \u2022 Can't hear very well during ghost hunts. Yurei \u2022 Shuts doors frequently. \u2022 If an exit door is shut completely without a ghost event or hunt occurring, it's a Yurei. \u2022 Becomes temporarily trapped in the ghost room after you smudge the area. Play with friends As tough as this challenge is, it becomes a whole lot easier the moment you have at least one friend working with you. Even though you're playing on Sunny Meadows Restricted rather than the full map, it's still a fairly large maze-like area to navigate and you can be hunted from the moment you enter the door, so you need to work as quickly as possible. Having at least one other player on your side allows you to explore the vast map much more quickly. It also ensures the contract doesn't end if you die. Ideally, you'll want a full four-player lobby for the best results, but gather as many players as you can since even one extra player is immensely helpful. Use Crucifixes The Crucifix can be tricky to use, but it's the most powerful tool you have at your disposal for ensuring the ghost cannot hunt. You're granted two tier-three Crucifixes in this challenge, so try to place them down where the ghost is spawning for the best protection possible. Use Salt In addition to allowing you to rule out the Wraith if it's stepped in, tier-three Salt is a powerful way to deter ghosts during a hunt. All ghosts are much faster than usual during this trial, but if they step in Black Salt during a hunt, their speed is decreased by 50 percent for two seconds, which might be just the boost you need to successfully get away and continue your investigation. Smudge the area Use Incense to smudge the area and deter ghosts from hunting. Like Salt, this is another powerful tool capable of helping you last longer and hopefully complete the challenge without being caught by a ghost. It only protects you briefly, but it might be all you need to get away safely. Run, don't hide I always struggle to successfully hide from ghosts during a hunt, so I absolutely recommend running rather than trying to hide. This isn't always feasible for smaller maps, but Sunny Meadows Restricted is large enough that you can almost always find a new way to run. The ghost is faster than usual in this trial, so you may end up needing to hide, but do your best to put at least a bit of distance between you and the ghost before doing so.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/active-summoning-circle-with-ghost-and-cross-on-fire-phasmophobia.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2072"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1021278"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1371796,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278\/revisions\/1371796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1223215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1021278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1021278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

They're usually balanced, but The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge is a truly terrifying task tougher than any other. Even if you consider yourself to be an experienced ghost hunter, this trial is a very formidable one. Here's how to complete The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in Phasmophobia. What is The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in\u00a0Phasmophobia? The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge is one of the weekly rotating trials and can only be completed on the Sunny Meadows Restricted map. In this challenge, you have access to the best form of every piece of equipment, but this isn't all that useful since the ghost won't give you any evidence. The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia challenge rules All of the exact settings for this challenge are taken from the Apocalypse III preset except for player speed, so here's everything you want to know before heading into The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge. Player settings Starting sanity: Zero Sanity pill restoration: Zero Sanity drain speed: 200 percent Sprint: Off Player speed: 100 percent Flashlights: Off Ghost settings Ghost speed: 150 Roaming frequency: High Changing favorite room: High Interaction amount: Low Event frequency: Low Friendly ghost: Off Grace period: Zero Hunt duration: High Kill extend hunts: High Evidence given: Zero Contract settings Setup time: Zero Weather: Heavy rain Doors starting open: High Number of hiding places: None Sanity monitor: Broken Activity monitor: Broken Fuse box at start of contract: Broken Cursed Possessions quantity: Zero In addition to all of these official modifiers, there are a few other important details to know about this trial. This challenge must be completed at Sunny Meadows Restricted. Flashlights and UV Lights don't work. You have all Tier III equipment. Tier III: Head Gear, Sanity Medication, Ghost Writing Book, Igniter, Motion Sensor, Firelight, Crucifix, Incense, Parabolic Microphone, Salt, Spirit Box, Photo Camera, EMF Reader, Sound Sensor, Thermometer, UV Light, Tripod, DOTS Projector, Flashlight, and Video Camera. How to complete The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia weekly challenge To successfully complete The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge in Phasmophobia, you have to identify what ghost is present at Sunny Meadows Restricted three times. This is a tough task that requires you to move quickly, use equipment strategically, and get lucky with what kind of ghost you're dealing with. Finishing this challenge earns you 5,000 experience and $5,000 cash. You also earn even more of both along the way, so finishing this trial is a great way to level up fast. The Apocalypse Draws Near Phasmophobia challenge tips To successfully complete this trial, you need to know the best tips for The Apocalypse Draws Near challenge so you can navigate through it three times and claim your rewards. Test for every ghost The best tip for this trial is to try and test for every ghost to check off which ones it can and can't be. This can be done by employing most of the same strategies you use during the No Evidence challenge. Ghost type Unique traitsBanshee \u2022 Will sometimes let out a unique wail through the Parabolic Microphone. \u2022 Targets one player at a time and remains focused on this player until they are killed or leave the game. \u2022 Has a higher likelihood of performing singing ghost events. Demon \u2022 The Crucifix's range is extended 50 percent farther for this ghost. \u2022 Smudging stops the Demon from hunting for a shorter period of time, so if a ghost hunts again around 60 to 90 seconds after being smudged, it might be a Demon. \u2022 Has a lower hunt cooldown than other ghosts, so if you notice a hunt with a cooldown of less than 25 seconds then it's likely a Demon. Deogen \u2022 Moves more slowly when near their chosen target, so if you notice a ghost moving rapidly toward a player before suddenly slowing down, it's likely a Deogen. \u2022 Always knows where players are when a hunt is active. Goryo \u2022 Can only be seen on the DOTS Projector through a Video Camera and when no players are around. \u2022 Less likely to wander around. Hantu \u2022 Moves more rapidly in colder areas during a hunt. \u2022 Can produce visible frosty breath during a hunt, which is the easiest way to identify it with no evidence. Jinn \u2022 Receives a speed boost when they are chasing a target who is far away. Mare \u2022 Is much more likely to initiate a hunt in a dark room and remains in the dark more often than most other ghosts. \u2022 Turns off lights more frequently than other ghosts. \u2022 Can't turn on any regular lights, but can turn on computers and televisions. \u2022 Will often turn a light off right after you turn it on. Moroi \u2022 Is affected by hyperosmia, which means smudging stuns it for 7.5 seconds rather than only five during a hunt. \u2022 Can curse players through the Spirit Box causing their sanity to drain twice as fast. Myling \u2022 Makes sounds on the Parabolic Microphone more frequently. \u2022 Is much quieter than all other ghosts during a hunt. This includes vocal noises and footsteps. Obake \u2022 Briefly shapeshifts into another visible ghost form at least once per hunt. \u2022 Sometimes leaves a unique UV Light print behind. This can be a six-fingered handprint, two fingerprints instead of just one, or five fingerprints instead of four on certain surfaces like keyboards and cell doors on the Prison map. Oni \u2022 Becomes more active with more players nearby. \u2022 The Oni's physical ghost model is visible for longer periods of time during a hunt. \u2022 Cannot create an airball during a ghost event. Ornyo \u2022 If a flame is lit, they cannot initiate a hunt and will instead blow out the flame. \u2022 If a flame is extinguished, they become angry and more likely to hunt. \u2022 More likely to blow out flames like campfires and candles as more players perish. Phantom \u2022 Taking a picture of this ghost causes it to become temporarily invisible. \u2022 If you snap a photo and a ghost appears in it, you can rule out the Phantom. \u2022 Is invisible more frequently during hunts. Poltergeist \u2022 Is able to throw more than one object at once and can generally throw items farther than other ghosts. \u2022 Will throw an item every 0.5 seconds during a hunt. Raiju \u2022 Active electronics boost the Raiju's speed during a hunt. \u2022 Messes with electronics from a farther distance when it's manifesting. Revenant \u2022 Moves very slowly when unaware of the player's location during a hunt and moves very rapidly when they are aware. \u2022 It's nearly impossible to run from a Revenant if they know your location, so if the ghost seems incredibly fast, it might be one. Shade \u2022 This is the shyest ghost of all and is the least likely to hunt or initiate ghost events. \u2022 Less active with multiple players around. \u2022 Hisses and appears as a shadowy form more often than other ghosts. Spirit \u2022 Is especially weak against Incense and won't initiate a hunt again for 180 seconds after being smudged instead of the usual 90. Thaye \u2022 Becomes much slower and less active over time based on how frequently you are around it. Very active as soon as you enter the map, but quickly decays and goes quiet over time. The Mimic \u2022 If you see any Ghost Orbs while completing this challenge then you've caught The Mimic. This ghost produces fake Ghost Orbs that don't count as part of its official evidence which makes them visible even with the no evidence modifier turned on in this trial. \u2022 Replicates the behaviors of other ghosts which makes it highly unpredictable. The Twins \u2022 Can create evidence far away from the actual ghost room. \u2022 The Twins may interact with the environment simultaneously \u2022 Can sometimes create unique Activity Chart patterns. \u2022 Each Twin can hunt at a different speed, so if the speed of the ghost hunting you seems to change with each hunt, it could be The Twins alternating. \u2022 They have a 50 percent chance to hunt from their current location and a 50 percent chance to initiate the hunt instead from wherever their last interaction was. Wraith \u2022 The Wraith will never step in Salt, so it's easy to rule this ghost out by simply placing some down. Yokai \u2022 Gets angered by players talking near it and becomes more likely to initiate a hunt because of this. \u2022 Can't hear very well during ghost hunts. Yurei \u2022 Shuts doors frequently. \u2022 If an exit door is shut completely without a ghost event or hunt occurring, it's a Yurei. \u2022 Becomes temporarily trapped in the ghost room after you smudge the area. Play with friends As tough as this challenge is, it becomes a whole lot easier the moment you have at least one friend working with you. Even though you're playing on Sunny Meadows Restricted rather than the full map, it's still a fairly large maze-like area to navigate and you can be hunted from the moment you enter the door, so you need to work as quickly as possible. Having at least one other player on your side allows you to explore the vast map much more quickly. It also ensures the contract doesn't end if you die. Ideally, you'll want a full four-player lobby for the best results, but gather as many players as you can since even one extra player is immensely helpful. Use Crucifixes The Crucifix can be tricky to use, but it's the most powerful tool you have at your disposal for ensuring the ghost cannot hunt. You're granted two tier-three Crucifixes in this challenge, so try to place them down where the ghost is spawning for the best protection possible. Use Salt In addition to allowing you to rule out the Wraith if it's stepped in, tier-three Salt is a powerful way to deter ghosts during a hunt. All ghosts are much faster than usual during this trial, but if they step in Black Salt during a hunt, their speed is decreased by 50 percent for two seconds, which might be just the boost you need to successfully get away and continue your investigation. Smudge the area Use Incense to smudge the area and deter ghosts from hunting. Like Salt, this is another powerful tool capable of helping you last longer and hopefully complete the challenge without being caught by a ghost. It only protects you briefly, but it might be all you need to get away safely. Run, don't hide I always struggle to successfully hide from ghosts during a hunt, so I absolutely recommend running rather than trying to hide. This isn't always feasible for smaller maps, but Sunny Meadows Restricted is large enough that you can almost always find a new way to run. The ghost is faster than usual in this trial, so you may end up needing to hide, but do your best to put at least a bit of distance between you and the ghost before doing so.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/active-summoning-circle-with-ghost-and-cross-on-fire-phasmophobia.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2072"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1021278"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1371796,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021278\/revisions\/1371796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1223215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1021278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1021278"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1021278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
