How to get the Work Experience achievement in Phasmophobia

The Work Experience achievement is the easiest of the hidden ones to get. All you need to do for this one is play and complete one contract. To do so, load into any map, figure out what type of ghost you think is present, mark the ghost in your journal, then press the button in the truck to leave.

Even if you aren’t sure what the ghost type is, guess before you leave. You need to have a ghost selected for the contract to count as complete, although guessing the right one isn’t needed for this task.

How to get the Flawless Execution achievement in Phasmophobia

For the Flawless execution investigation, you need to get a perfect investigation. There are quite a few requirements for achieving one, including:

  • Identify the correct ghost type.
  • Complete all optional objectives.
  • Find the bone.
  • Fill your journal with all unique media, including audio, video, and photo evidence.
    • Five unique photos.
    • Five unique videos.
    • Three unique sounds.

How to get The Bait achievement in Phasmophobia

To unlock The Bait trophy, you need to play a multiplayer game and get killed by a Banshee. This one can be a bit tough to get done since the Banshee randomly chooses one player to target until they’re dead or leave the game. How easy or difficult this one is to finish comes entirely down to luck.

The best way to ensure you get this achievement is to ensure you drain as much sanity as possible and try to get hunted when you think you’re dealing with a Banshee. If this ghost chooses someone else as their primary target, you may have to wait for them to die first.

How to get the They’re Here achievement in Phasmophobia

You need to witness a Poltergeist use its special throwing ability in person to unlock the They’re Here achievement. This ghost type may occasionally fling multiple items at once, and if you manage to see this in person (not through a truck camera), you’ll acquire this trophy.

To increase your odds of success, you can pick up throwable items throughout the house and assemble them into a pile in the ghost room. This ensures the Poltergeist has plenty of items to throw, and that it will be super visible when they do use this move.

How to get the Doom Slayed achievement in Phasmophobia

Doom Slayed might be the toughest achievement of all to get since it’s entirely based on RNG. You need to be killed by a Demon within the first minute of the contract to get this one. Demons have a unique ability to hunt whenever they want (after the setup phase), so they may use this ability even when you’re at 100 percent sanity.

It’s best to play a mode with no setup time and immediately use a Monkey Paw to wish for activity to increase your chances of getting this one done. Even with this buff, it will likely still take you many, many tries to get this achievement. There’s no way to make it any easier, as it ultimately just comes down to luck.

How to get the Escape Artist achievement in Phasmophobia

To get the Escape Artist achievement, you need to escape from a Revenant. This ghost is slow when searching for you, but becomes super fast once they have you in its sights. You need to get away when this happens to unlock the trophy. The best way to do so is to use Incense to temporarily deter them once they’ve locked onto you.

All achievements are granted at the end of the contract, so you won’t know for sure whether you got one until you exit the map and return to the lobby. Since many of these achievements are based on luck, it’s generally best to just ignore them until you find the right ghost.
