Objectives

Objectives are side tasks that accompany the main goal of finding the ghost in-game. These can range from Surviving Hunts up to Discovering extra pieces of Evidence. Accomplished objectives reward the player with 10$ which are helpful towards further progression in the game. As of this writing, there are currently six side objectives and one main objective that show up in the monitor inside the van.

Objective List

Identify the type of ghost

This is the main objective of the game. Unlike its successors, identifying the ghost type is a fixed objective, thus will always show up in the monitor whenever you start the game. Additionally, it is the only objective that does not cross out until you finish a game of Specter. To correctly guess for the ghost, you need to equip the right pieces of equipment and have a wide knowledge of the ghost's required evidence and abilities.

Discover dirty water in a sink

Go to bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms that contain a sink. Open sinks will stream dirty water draining through faucets and will insinuate its presence through swooshing noises. Click E to report dirty water.

Stop a hunt with a Crucifix

Grabbing a crucifix is necessary for this objective. Take it and wait for the ghost to hunt, then place it whenever the ghost is near your vicinity. Completing this objective crosses it out in the van. Bear in mind that low-end Crucifixes (no upgrades, for instance) should be placed closer to the ghost to ensure accomplishment.

Discover an extra piece of evidence

Dirty water used to count as an extra evidence in the original Specter. However, due to the implementation of new mechanics in Specter 2, collecting Dirty water no longer crosses out this objective, this is when Bones play a vital role in its completion. Whenever this objective pops up in your monitor, take advantage of the Map layout as these extra pieces of evidence can be located anywhere. Click F to report it once found.

Have an average team sanity under 50%

Having this objective in your gameplay lets you stay inside the building for longer. If you are playing with more people, everyone should at least attain a sanity ≤50%.

Discover the ghost room with a/an thermometer/EMF Reader

Just like normal gameplay, use either piece of equipment (based on the given objective) to locate the ghost room. Turn it on and drop it to ensure proper completion. In some cases, both objectives may show up in the van, giving the player a choice whether to bring both pieces of equipment while finding the ghost room.
