Phasmophobia Farmhouse Fieldwork challenge tips

The Farmhouse Fieldwork trial can be fairly tricky to complete, especially if you’re not used to tackling special challenges. There are plenty of ways to make it easier, though, so here are the best tips you can employ to make this process easier.

Learn the maps

Both Grafton Farmhouse and Bleasdale Farmhouse are medium-sized homes that are slightly larger than the classic house maps but smaller than some of the larger community locations. They’re not the hardest locations to investigate, but they aren’t the easiest either, so it’s best to start by learning the map layouts before you begin. To do so, create a custom match with the friendly ghost option turned on so you can explore without being worried about ghost hunts.

Play in Amateur mode

If you want to complete this trial as swiftly as possible, it’s best to stick with Amateur mode, as it’s the easiest. On higher difficulties, the modifiers make the contract more challenging, which means it’s going to take you a lot longer to successfully finish contracts. You can make progress in any mode, so pick the one that you’ll be able to get done fastest.

Gather all three pieces of evidence

Identifying the right ghost is crucial for this challenge, so make sure you catch all three pieces of evidence to identify the ghost. If you’re missing even one piece and make a guess, you could end up being wrong. It’s best to stick to the evidence and stay until you know for sure.

Investigate with friends

All ghost hunts are much easier to complete when you have allies helping you out. This tip applies not only to this trial, but also to other quests you might face, including weekly challenges.

Having additional ghost hunters helping you out means you can cover more ground, get more equipment down quickly, and have multiple sets of eyes watching for evidence. You can either create a lobby with friends or join up with other players using the matchmaking feature to initiate a multiplayer game.

Don’t rush it

This challenge is permanent, so there’s no need to rush it. 50 investigations is quite a lot, so it’s generally best to slowly chip away at this one over time whenever you feel like investigating one of the two farmhouse maps.
