Phasmophobia's 'Detectives only' challenge wasn't as hard as I expected

Despite expecting to struggle with the zero evidence 'Detectives only' weekly challenge in Phasmophobia this week, I actually managed to complete it without too much trouble.

Due to a nasty ear infection that has left me with tinitus in one ear, I ended up delaying this stream a day while I recovered as I did not feel up to attempting a zero evidence challenge on the Monday as usual. I was already concerned about attempting a zero evidence challenge as I have not really done these before, with the nearest being the zero sanity challenges which required me to rely on hunting behaviour to identify the ghosts (and I have not done particularly well on previously). However, with this challenge allowing me to take my time and look for other secondary traits, it wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. It did still take me around 3 hours to complete the challenge, but a large amount of that time was spent just confirming my existing suspicions, and I was very close on a couple of the investigations I failed, which cost me a fair amount of time as well. I know I could have taken the quicker approach that I've seen some players take, which relies heavily on hunt behaviour, but as my track record for that isn't great I thought it would be better to take it slow and better learn the secondary traits instead.

After realising last week that my mic filters had been turned off for some reason, I had been working to improve my audio settings before todays stream, so hopefully it should sound a bit better now. However, I did find an issue with these settings causing background noise to be detected during hunts, resulting in the ghost easily finding me each time. I have tweaked my settings more to try and fix this, but will be continuing to work on it over the next week.

My Phasmophobia stream next week will once again be on the Tuesday instead of the Monday, as I will need to be on hand to help with my disabled brother on the Monday, while my mother is having an operation, but it will most likely be returning to Mondays following that. I will also be continuing my fierce mode playthrough of Pikmin 4 on Wednesdays for the time being, which should still take me several weeks to complete. I may also end up shifting my streaming days around if my other plans change, and this is also assuming that I am unable to find work in this time, as this will likely cause me to stop streaming altogether.

I typically aim to stream every Monday and Wednesday, plus occasional weekend streams, these will typically be around 3-5pm (UK time) but will vary, so if you would like to know when I next go live, please drop me a follow at   / dragoneleven
