As you venture into the eerie world of Phasmophobia, encountering various ghosts can be a thrilling experience. Among these spectral adversaries, the Gallu stands out as a formidable foe, having been introduced on December 16, 2025. If you’ve not yet faced this ghost, you’re in for a challenge.
The Gallu is a uniquely dangerous type of Demon. With its erratic sanity threshold, it can catch players off guard, increasing the stakes for your ghost-hunting escapade. To help you recognize this ghost when you see it, let’s break down how you can identify a Gallu in Phasmophobia.
Identify the Evidence of a Gallu in Phasmophobia

When investigating a Gallu, you’ll look for three specific types of evidence: EMF Level Five, Ultraviolet, and Spirit Box. This ghost is notable for this unique combination, so if you find all three, you can be sure you’re up against a Gallu.
| Evidence | How to get |
|---|---|
| EMF Level Five | Activate your EMF Reader in the ghost’s room. Walk around, particularly near interactive items. When the ghost does something—like moving an object—be vigilant; this is when you can catch that level five reading! |
| Ultraviolet | Grab an Ultraviolet light and examine the surroundings for luminous fingerprints, handprints, and footprints. Struggling to find traces? Sprinkle some Salt in the ghost’s territory and wait for it to make its mark, then check for footprints. |
| Spirit Box | Turn on the Spirit Box and start asking questions. If you receive any responses, it confirms that the ghost uses this to communicate. |
Examining Gallu Behavior and Patterns

The Gallu isn’t just about the evidence; it has a distinct set of behaviors, too. Here’s a quick rundown of some signs to watch out for:
- If you’re using protective gear, like a Crucifix or Incense, be careful—it might anger the Gallu, making it more dangerous.
- The Hunt Sanity Threshold shifts based on its state:
- Normal state: 50%
- Enraged state: 60%
- Weakened state: 40%
- Speed also varies:
- Normal: 1.7 m/s
- Enraged: 1.96 m/s
- Weakened: 1.36 m/s
- Provoking the Gallu may initially strengthen it, but eventually it will weaken, making protective tools more effective during this phase.
- This ghost cannot cross Salt piles while enraged.
- The Gallu generally starts in a normal state and can switch based on your actions. For instance, if you burn a Crucifix or use Incense, it can trigger a state change.
If you suspect your haunting isn’t from a Gallu, you might want to check for an Obambo next. After you’ve got your head around this ghost, consider tackling other interesting challenges, like capturing unique evidence or completing hidden achievements.
