    Phasmophobia: All Summoning Circle locations & How to Use It

    In Phasmophobia, the Summoning Circle is one of seven cursed items, which are objects that can be used for identifying the ghost, triggering events, or even completing optional challenges. The Summoning Circle stands out from all the cursed items mainly because it resembles a big pentagram drawn on the floor, with red candles at every corner. It does what it says it will doโ€”summons the ghostโ€”so be ready for the worst. But given the evidence it can yield, it’s worth the risk, especially if you know where to look for it.

    As such, this guideย will explain how to use the Summoning Circle and where to find its spawn location on each map in Phasmophobia, so read on.

    How to use the Summoning Circle in Phasmophobia?

    To use a Summoning Circle in Phasmophobia, you need to light up all 5 candles using a lighter to force the ghost to appear in the middle of the circle for 5 seconds. Make sure you have a lighter in your inventory. You can equip it and use the primary interaction button (right-click on PC, RT/R2 on controllers) to ignite it.

    Each time you light a candle on the summoning circle, you lose 16% of your sanity. If you light all candles while you have more than 80% sanity, the ghost is summoned for 5 seconds where it can’t hunt. However, if your sanity is already below 16% lighting a candle will extinguish it immediately (this is not a bug). If you force and try to light all the candles when your sanity is already low, a cursed ghost hunt will be triggered instead.

    The result of lighting the candles on the Summoning Circle depends entirely on your sanity level at the moment you light the final candle. Remember, if you light all five, a total ofย 80% can be taken out, so it’s bestย to divide the task and have other players take turns on lighting each candle. Players should decide on specific evidence goals before using the circle. Coordinate who will light the candles, who will stand by with smudge sticks, and who will gather evidence. If possible, use sanity pills to immediately restore sanity. Always have an escape route in mind, even if you aim for the summoning with high sanity. Find hiding spots, use smudge sticks to stop or slow the ghost, and stay quiet.

    The forced ghost manifestation helps with evidence that requires visibility or interaction such as:

    • Fingerprints
    • Ghost Orbs
    • Ghost Writing
    • Photographs of the ghost

    The Summoning Circle has a significant cooldown period after use. You won’t be able to activate it again for quite some time. This cooldown may vary depending on difficulty or other factors. The chance of an instant hunt with sanity above 80% appears slightly higher on Nightmare difficulty.

    If you want to have a Summoning Circle in every game, change your Cursed Possessions quantity (under Contracts in Custom Difficulty) and make sure to include a Summoning Circle. This way it will be guaranteed to spawn once you load into a map. Here’s where to find all Phasmophobia Summoning Circles on every map.
