Phasmophobia Blood Moon Event Guide

The Blood Moon event in Phasmophobia transforms standard ghost hunts into a high-stakes communal challenge, blending intensified ghost behaviors with unique environmental elements. Players worldwide collaborate to accumulate Blood Points, progressing through stages that unlock exclusive cosmetics and gameplay features for everyone. This guide breaks down every aspect, from map selection to reward claiming, helping you contribute effectively whether playing solo or in teams.

Event Overview and Community Goals

At its core, the Blood Moon event revolves around collective effort. Daily, four specific maps guarantee Blood Moon weather, marked by a ominous red moon that amps up ghost aggression, speeds, and sanity drain by 1.5 times. This weather persists only on these maps, identified via a red moon icon on the truck’s map selection board.

Progress is tracked via two gauges: personal and community. Community goals drive stage completion, with points pooling from all players. Historical data shows stages required massive totals like 30-50 million points initially, later adjusted for accessibility. Upon stage completion, a Blood Altar in the lobby glows, allowing instant reward claims regardless of individual contribution.

• Key Event Mechanics: Blood Moon weather boosts points by 10% on active maps; ghosts hunt more frequently with altered patterns.
• Daily Rotation: Maps cycle, ensuring variety—common ones include 6 Tanglewood Drive, Camp Woodwind, Grafton Farmhouse, Bleasdale Farmhouse, Point Hope, 13 Willow Street, and 42 Edgefield Road.
• Point Multipliers: Difficulty settings add 1-15 extra points per contract; even 0x multiplier or friendly ghost modes award base points.

Active Maps and Weather Impact

Success hinges on playing the right maps. Each day, check the map board for the red moon symbol—these are your event hotspots. Blood Moon weather isn’t random; it’s fixed for event participation, making ghosts deadlier but rewarding.

Under Blood Moon, expect faster hunts, quicker sanity loss, and potential Mimic interference with evidence like Ghost Orbs. Adapt by prioritizing sanity meds and strong lights.

Earning Blood Points Efficiently

Blood Points fuel progression. Focus on high-yield actions repeatable across runs. Base earnings scale with activity, enhanced by difficulty and weather bonuses.

1. Ghost Identification (10 Points): The biggest payout. Gather all evidence meticulously—EMF 5, Fingerprints, Freezing Temps, etc. Double-check against Mimics faking Ghost Orbs. Success confirms the ghost type, netting 10 points instantly.
2. Optional Objectives (2-3 Points Each): Truck board lists 3-5 extras like photographing ghosts, recording sounds, or smudge tests. Knock these out post-ID for quick extras.
3. Moon Totems (1-2 Points Each): Red pillars spawn 1+ per map in fixed random spots (e.g., corners, shelves). Interact (left-click/RT/R2) or photograph to destroy. Hunt early to avoid hunts.
4. Map Completion (2 Points): Finish the contract fully, regardless of perfect ID.

Pro Tip: Run Amateur/Intermediate for speed, or Nightmare for multipliers. Teams divide totem hunts while one IDs.

Strategies for Maximum Contribution

To dominate, optimize runs under 10-15 minutes. Start with map scan for totems, loop evidence collection, then objectives.

• Solo Play: Use 0 sanity starts or incense for safe totem grabs. UV light reveals fingerprints fast.
• Team Play: Assign roles—one scouts totems, others evidence. Voice chat coordinates during hunts.
• Avoid Pitfalls: Mimics trick with fake evidence; cross-verify. Low sanity triggers early hunts—stock pills.
• Farming Loop: Repeat active maps endlessly. Even failed IDs give partial points via totems/objectives.

Difficulty impacts: Professional x5 multiplier yields 50+ points per ID run with totems/objectives.

Stage Rewards and Claiming Process

Three stages unlock progressively, rewarding all players upon community completion.

Post-completion, interact with the lobby altar next to trophies. It glows when ready—claim anytime. Stage 3’s permanent Blood Moon weather adds 10% rewards to future Blood Moon contracts.

Personal gauges track your totals, potentially for leaderboards or extras, but community drives unlocks.

Advanced Tips and Ghost Behavior Changes

Blood Moon ghosts are corrupted: 1.5x sanity drain, faster speeds, aggressive hunts. Totems may influence spawns nearby.

• Totem Locations: Memorize per map—kitchens, basements, attics common.
• Mimic Counter: If Orbs + two contradictions, suspect Mimic revealing true ghost.
• Speedruns: No-evidence IDs on known maps, but risky under event conditions.

Event ties into Halloween themes, with cosmetics like Crimson Eye variants.
