Phasmophobia Tortoise and the Hare: Hare challenge tips

Since the modifiers in the Tortoise and the Hare: Hare trial mostly work in your favor, this is an overall much easier weekly challenge to tackle than other ones, but here are some tips to help you through it if you’re struggling.

Turn on the fusebox immediately

You want to get the power on and working as quickly as possible, which means you should prioritize turning on the fuse box as soon as you can. This will help keep you safer since you can stay in the light, and it will also allow for a more accurate temperature reading which is crucial.

Track down the ghost room using temperature

My favorite way to find the ghost room is by using a Thermometer to check the temperature. Even if the ghost doesn’t have freezing temps as evidence, the ghost room is always noticeably colder than all other areas which makes this the overall most reliable way to pinpoint the ghost’s location.

Place Crucifixes as soon as possible

You can use Crucifixes to stop a couple of ghost hunts, and although they can work when you’re holding them or when they’re placed down, placing Crucifixes in the ghost room is the most reliable method of preventing ghost hunts. The Tier I versions of this tool can only stop one hunt each, so be sure to place both of them around the room to deter as many hunts as possible.

Rally a ghost-hunting squad

One of the best tips overall for both this challenge and general Phasmophobia gameplay is simply to try the game with other players at your side. The ghost-hunting game becomes so much easier when you have even just one other player alongside you, so if you just can’t succeed at the Tortoise and the Hare: Hare challenge, try asking a friend to join you or use the matchmaking feature to join someone else’s lobby.

Be wary of early hunters

Some ghosts are early hunters, which means they might try to hunt you way earlier than you’d expect. The good news is that you’ll be a lot faster than them in this challenge which means you can easily escape the ghost during a hunt if you do get an early one. You can also analyze the conditions that led to the early hunt to possibly determine the ghost type with no evidence at all.

Use your general game knowledge

The Tortoise and the Hare: Hare challenge is one of the more doable weekly trials you’ll face, so one of the best tips for this one is to use your general game knowledge to your advantage. All of the best Phasmophobia tips and tricks are useful, since most of the rules within this challenge keep it fairly standard.
