Alright, ghost hunters! You've strapped on your VR headset, bravely stepped into a haunted house, and are now fumbling around trying to figure out... well, pretty much everything.
Let's get down to brass tacks and unlock the secrets of that ever-so-important journal in Phasmophobia VR. Fear not, because with this handy guide, you'll be identifying ghosts like a paranormal pro in no time!
The Magic Wrist Flick
This is where the fun begins. Imagine you're a wizard, about to cast a super cool spell.
Except, instead of a wand, you have a VR controller, and instead of a spell, you're trying to open a notebook filled with scribbled notes about spooky entities.
Dominant Hand is Key
First, figure out which hand is your dominant hand in the game. This is the hand you use to interact with most things.
For example, if you normally grab tools with your right hand, that's probably your dominant hand.
The Big Reveal
Here comes the dramatic part. Hold your dominant hand out in front of you, roughly around chest level.
Now, give your wrist a little flick upwards, as if you're trying to subtly flip someone off (but don't actually do that, be nice to your fellow ghost hunters!).
With any luck, the journal should magically appear in your hand! If not, don't panic. We've all been there, flailing our arms like inflatable tube men in a desperate attempt to summon a notebook.
Troubleshooting the Flick
Still not working? Okay, let's troubleshoot. Make sure you are not holding any other items. You can only summon the journal with empty hand.
Sometimes the game is a bit finicky. Try the flick again, but this time, exaggerate the motion a little more.
Imagine you're trying to swat a fly that's been buzzing around your head for the past hour. Now flick it!
If that doesn't work, try flicking your wrist a little faster or slower. It's all about finding that sweet spot.
The game uses motion to recognize the gesture, so make sure your controller is working properly. Check your controller batteries are not low.
Navigating the Journal
Congratulations! You've successfully summoned the journal. Now what?
Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it looks. Use your non-dominant hand to point and click your way through the pages.
You can select ghost types, mark evidence, and even scribble down your own notes (though, let's be honest, they'll probably be illegible chicken scratch).
Interacting with the Pages
Just point at what you want to select. Click with your trigger button on your non-dominant hand.
Use the journal to identify the ghost, mark evidence like EMF Level 5 or Ghost Orbs, and complete optional objectives for extra cash.
My Journal Disappeared!
Oh no! Where did it go? Don't fret, it happens to the best of us. Simply perform the magic wrist flick again, and it should reappear in your hand.
Sometimes, the game glitches out a little, especially in VR. But a quick wrist flick usually brings it back.
Practice Makes Perfect
Opening the journal in Phasmophobia VR might seem a little awkward at first, but like anything else, it gets easier with practice.
So, don't be discouraged if you fumble around a bit in the beginning. Just keep flicking your wrist until you get the hang of it.
Before you know it, you'll be opening that journal like a seasoned paranormal investigator. Happy ghost hunting!
