Keys are necessary to progress in Phasmophobia, so you&#8217;ll need to know how to use them to not only start ghost hunting but also fight back against any ghosts that might try to intimidate you by turning on loud car alarms.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll go over the types of keys in Phasmophobia and how to use them to determine the identity of the ghost hiding in the map.<\/p>\n<p><pre><strong>April 17 2023 -<\/strong> We've checked for any updates to keys in Phasmophobia and updated this article accordingly.<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Types Of Keys In Phasmophobia<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/Fnvsnk3oQE9rvwM1G6Zj_pvKCRYfxzHm1WEd8FOCf6g\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9tYWluX2Rvb3IuanBn\" alt=\"main door key phasmophobia\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">There are both Main Door Keys and Car Keys in Phasmophobia. (Picture: Kinetic Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are two different types of keys in Phasmophobia. One key is called the Main Door Key. This key is the most important key in the game and lets you access the house within a map. You usually can&#8217;t start ghost-hunting without picking up the Main Door Key from your starting van.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other type of key is called the Car Key. The Car Key can be used to silence cars if a ghost begins setting off their car alarms. Car Keys are found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/phasmophobia\/maps-list\">the following maps<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul data-v-324512e8=\"\">\n<li data-v-324512e8=\"\">Edgefield Street House<\/li>\n<li data-v-324512e8=\"\">Tanglewood Street House<\/li>\n<li data-v-324512e8=\"\">Willow Street House<\/li>\n<li data-v-324512e8=\"\">Ridgeview Road House<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need to find a Car Key to silence a car that a pesky ghost turned on, you&#8217;ll need to look on nightstands, small tables, and other surfaces throughout the house. Look carefully, as keys are quite a small item compared to others in Phasmophobia.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Use Keys In Phasmophobia<\/h2>\n<p>Keys are one of the easiest items to use in Phasmophobia. As for the Main Door Key, all you&#8217;ll need to do is approach the front door with the key in hand and left-click; the door will open right up for you.<\/p>\n<p>The Car Key, on the other hand, requires you to take a few extra steps. First, you&#8217;ll need to find the car that the ghost set off and approach it. You will then need to left-click the car with the Car Key in your hand. If the ghost turns the car horn back on again, just follow those steps again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While playing Phasmophobia, you&#8217;ll need to make your way around the game&#8217;s many maps to find the ghosts that hide within &#8211; but what do&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12834,"featured_media":42902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phasmophobia","genre-horror","content_type-guide-tutorial"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
