To identify the Oni ghost in Phasmophobia, you will need to gather the correct pieces of evidence and mark the ghost in the journal when you have found them all. Doing so will successfully identify the ghost for you in the game. That said, here's everything you need to identify an Oni.
- EMF Level 5
- Freezing Temperatures
- D.O.T.S Projector
For the most part, you should not have any issues finding all of these, as Onis are really active little goblins. But If you have trouble or just want extra help, Use the chart below to help gather all three pieces of evidence for an Oni in Phasmophobia.
| Required Evidence | How to gather it? |
|---|---|
| EMF Level 5 | If you want to get an EMF Level 5 reading, the best way is to run into the house and start annoying the ghost. Sooner or later, if the ghost has EMF Level 5 there will be a higher chance of the EMF reader picking a Level 5 reading up when the ghost interacts with an object. |
| Freezing Temperatures | Freezing Temperatures is extremely easy to find if the ghost has it as proof. Locate the ghost room or visit every room, and you should eventually find one where your character has a visible cold air graphic. You can also use the thermometer but be sure to read our What is considered Freezing Temperatures in Phasmophobia? for more help on it. |
| D.O.T.S Projector | D.O.T.S Projector is another easy piece of evidence to find. Just locate the ghost room, place it down in either the room or the doorway, and place a camera nearby. Once everything is placed, head back to the van and watch the camera until you see a figure pass through the D.O.T.S projector. |
