Revenants are very dangerous Ghosts in Phasmophobia that can move at nearly twice the speed of players if they spot them. Their biggest downfall is that losing line of sight with a Revenant will cause them to slow down significantly. When the player is hidden, Revenants are among the slowest Ghosts in the game. This is how to identify a Revenant in Phasmophobia.

The weakness of the Revenant is very noticeable. If the player is hiding from the Revenant, either in a hiding spot or just out of the Ghost’s line of sight, the Revenant will move at a speed of around1.1 m/s.

Tips for identifying and surviving a Revenant
When faced against aRevenant, players should arm themselves withSmudge Sticksto guarantee at least one escape. Players that are aware of the possibility that they are up against a Revenant may want to preemptively hide near theGhost Room. This makes it so that when the Ghost initiates aHunt, they will move at their slow speed. Paying attention to how fast the Ghost is by the sound of the footsteps and how often they are heard will make identifying the Revenant very easy. Before trying this method, players should rule out theDeogenfirst as they are Ghosts that can also move slowly when close to the player and can see them even if they are hiding. AThayecan also move slowly, however, this only happens over time and isn’t dependent on whether the player is hiding.
