When you go on an adventure to track ghosts, it's not enough to know how to run. You must have the necessary equipment to eliminate terrifying creatures. In PHASMOPHOBIA, there are a number of tools that can be used to hunt ghosts, and the maculation stick can be your savior when you have anywhere where running.

Unlike other game tools such as Crucifix, Smudge Stick in Phasmophobia can be used to hunt the ghost when it is close to you and is about to enter its hunting phase. To use the maculation stick, you must first equip your lighter and turn it on. Then equip the stack and press the secondary button to turn on the stack. The secondary button is "F" on the default keyboard.

Another way is to put the Smudge Stick on the floor, then turn on your lighter. Use the lighter, then take the stack of maculation. This should also enlighten the Smudge Stick.

You can hold the sticker in your hand or place it on the floor. Ideally, the best way to use Smudge Stick is to place it on the ground when you hear a nearby ghost or see increasing ghost activity signs. You can also use it when the LEDs start flashing, indicating that the ghost enters hunting mode.

Keep in mind that Smudge Stick helps you temporarily. Its effect is short-lived, so you can use it tactically to save time and find a safe place.
