The eerie and disturbing map of Point Hope in Phasmophobia is full of supernatural surprises, but perhaps the best of them is a secret ID card and badge that you can earn by completing an Easter egg hunt of sorts. If you’re wondering how to add it to your collection, here’s our handy guide on how to get the Point Hope Secret Badge and ID Card in Phasmophobia.
How to Get the Drowned Boatman’s Badge and ID Card in Phasmophobia
While there is a badge mentioned in the Eventide patch notes that you can get on the Point Hope map in Phasmophobia for correctly guessing the ghost 50 times, it turns out that there is actually another secret badge and ID card ready to be earned in the haunted lighthouse, if you know where to look and what to do. This is a little different than the game’s usual challenges or Apocalypse mode.
He called the “Boatman of the drowned”This cosmetic set for your player ID card can be obtained by completing a sequence of cryptic tasks during a hunt in the Point hunt map. The map itself is unlocked upon arrival Level 17 for the first time, and this secret mission can be completed in any difficulty, even amateur. In fact, that’s probably the best option to ensure you can get everything done without ghostly problems and without having to track down the switch.
Also, You do NOT have to complete the ghost hunt while doing this, meaning you don’t even have to guess the type of ghost if you don’t know. You can abandon the hunt immediately after finishing the secret mission and continue receiving the rewards.
Complete the pool puzzle in the game room.
To start this secret mission, after loading into Point Hope, first take a Flashlight and a ultraviolet light (keep this off for now). You can bring Night vision goggles also if you have them unlocked and equipped, to navigate dark floors. Remember, if you do this on Amateur difficulty, the circuit breaker will be on at the beginning and you’ll have a five-minute head start before some serious ghosting begins.
Head inside the lighthouse and DO NOT ring the bell as you enter (that comes later). Go all the way up to the Game room floorwhere he pool table He is sitting next to the back wall. This is where you must complete a secret puzzle to obtain a key. First, look at the photos of seashells on the opposite wall (seen below) and take note of the order of the colors: Green, blue and orange.
Go back to the pool table and look balls of the same color sitting on it. You need Place the balls in the correct color order inside the pockets closest to the wall.. Make sure you leave a piece of equipment if you are full, as you need space to pick it up.
First, collect the Striped Green Ball and place it in the left end pocket from the table (facing the wall!). Then pick up the Striped Blue Ball and place it in the middle pocket on the same side. Finally, collect the Solid orange ball (Dark orange, not light orange or red!) and place it in the right end pocket of the table.
If you place them correctly, a click will sound and a compartment on the side of the table will open, revealing the Lantern Cabinet Key. Pick it up and it will be placed in your Journal for safekeeping. By the way, if you do this with a friend, they will also have access to the key and will be eligible to receive the same rewards.
Place the gold tooth in the closed cabinet
After completing the game room puzzle, go up the stairs until you reach the maintenance room directly beneath the giant lighthouse lamp. This floor is technically split into two smaller ones, so head to the top half first. While you’re here, look for a locked cabinet with gold decorations. Unlock it with the Lantern Cabinet Key you acquired and inside you will see a mechanism where a gear wheel should be.
The next step is to find that sprocket and luckily you won’t need to go far to get it. Return to the bottom half of the maintenance room floor and look for a shiny Gold Cog leaning against a cabinet behind a can of spilled red enamel paint.
Pick it up (make sure you have room!) and return to place it on the mechanism inside the cabinet. This will reset the giant lighthouse lamp and it will start spinning and flashing.
Go back down and ring the bell.
The next step of this puzzle will take you back to the lighthouse and outside to the entrance, where the giant bell is that you’re probably dying to ring like a punk.
However, for this puzzle you only have to ring the doorbell three times. We recommend doing them with a brief pause between each one, to make sure they count.
Once this is done, you should hear a strange burning noiselike something illuminated in the distance. It’s time to go back up.
Turns the lighthouse into a giant ultraviolet light
Climb back up to the top of the lighthouse and make sure you have your ultraviolet light still with you, as it is the key to completing this cryptic puzzle. Take it out once you’re there and look at the giant lighthouse lamp. Turn on the UV light and point it at the lamp, which will turn it purple, making it a kind of giant ultraviolet.
Then look outside and you’ll see reflections of dozens of drowned spirits floating around the lighthouse as the light spins, a surreal and haunting display that marks the completion of this puzzle mission.
Also, if you’re wondering what that fiery noise was when ringing the bell earlier, all you have to do is look across the bay and you’ll see giant letters spelling “UV” lit up on a beach (seen below) , with the intention of giving you a clear clue of what to do at the top of the lighthouse.
Give up the hunt to claim your prize
Once all this is done, the only thing left is to abandon the hunt to claim your Boatman of the drowned ID card and badge For your efforts. As mentioned above, you do not need to complete the ghost quest to get these rewards. You can do so if you want or need the money, but it is not required. It may be best to protect your prize in case there is a Revenant or Demon waiting in the shadows of the lighthouse.
Either way, finish the search and on the results page you will receive your special rewards, which you can then equip on the board. Along with the title “Boatman of the Drowned,” the name card itself has an animated glow, which is a rare find outside of the game’s higher prestige levels. Note that it appears you also need to have the badge equipped for the ID card to change.
