What are Totems in Phasmophobia?
Totems are floating, miniature versions of the Blood Moon perched on top of small black pedestals. You’re looking for vibrant, glowing red moons dripping liquid that can be found hovering above a black base. They’re fairly easy to spot around the Crimson Eye maps, as these locations are quite dark, making the glowing moon stand out by contrast.
Where to find Totems in Phasmophobia
For the duration of the Crimson Eye event, Totems can be found around seven different maps, although only four out of the seven are active each day. The maps that have Blood Moon Totems on them are marked with a special icon on the map board, making them easy to distinguish from the rest. The maps that can be featured in the daily rotation and have Totems around them are as follows.
- 6 Tanglewood Drive
- Camp Woodwind
- Grafton Farmhouse
- Bleasdale Farmhouse
- Point Hope
- 42 Edgefield Road
- 13 Willow Street
Totems can appear just about anywhere on all maps. This includes the ground, tables, beds, chairs, desks, counters, sofas, cars, and any other furniture you come across at these locations.
How to interact with Totems in Phasmophobia
You can interact with Totems by walking up to them and selecting the “Interact” button while hovering over one. This is the same button you use to trigger most interactions, so it should be one you’re fairly familiar with.
If you’re not sure which button to press, you can check in your Journal. To do so, open the Journal, select Options, navigate to the Controls page, and find the button next to the word “Interact.” You can also change it if you don’t like the button it’s bound to.
As soon as you interact with a Totem, it will disappear, granting you some event points. You don’t need to perform any additional tasks to earn points, so interacting with Totems is quite easy once you know what needs to be done. At the end of each contract, you can see how many points you earned in the game summary.
Every Totem you interact with contributes some points to the event. There’s no limit on how many you can find, so track down as many as you can to help the entire community earn all Crimson Eye event rewards.
There are plenty of other tasks you can tackle in Phasmophobia once you’re done hunting for Totems. Next, you might work on capturing unique evidence, finding Slenderman, recording audio and video evidence, and unlocking all hidden achievements.
