How to Use the Camera Obscura for Psychic Photographs

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

Instead of wielding a weapon against the ghosts, players will have the Camera Obscura. This specialized camera is meant to take different kinds of photos to seal ghosts in them. The Camera Obscura has several different lenses, which change what kind of photo the player is taking for fights.

However, psychic photographs are different. Instead of being used in combat, these are used to uncover clues. Players will often be prompted to take a photo of an area where an object is missing.

  • Aim the camera at the orb of light
  • Capture the image
  • Check the hidden image that is revealed
  • Go to the area that was revealed in the image
  • Replicate the hidden image angle and place
  • Focus on the light orb
  • Capture image to progress
