The Winter’s Jest event in Phasmophobia brings a mix of festivity and eerie thrills. Among the standout features is Krampus, a unique ghost model that lurks in various locations during this seasonal celebration.
Since Krampus isn’t always readily available, you’ll want to catch a glimpse of him before the event wraps up. Let’s dive into how to track down Krampus in Phasmophobia.
Where Can You Find Krampus in Phasmophobia?
Krampus can be located in many of the Winter’s Jest event maps, including:
- 10 Ridgeview Court
- 6 Tanglewood Drive
- Bleasdale Farmhouse
- 13 Willow Street
- 42 Edgefield Road
- Grafton Farmhouse
- Camp Woodwind
- Maple Lodge Campsite
- Point Hope
- Nell’s Diner
Each day, only four of these locations will have Krampus haunting them. You can identify which maps feature Krampus and his signature Krampus boxes by checking the map board for a special present icon. It’s a rotating selection, so the available locations change frequently.
If a map doesn’t show the present icon, it reverts to its standard state. This means no jack-in-the-boxes, Naughty-or-Nice List items, or Krampus himself will be found there, so study that map board carefully!
How to Summon Krampus?
Finding the right place is just the start; getting Krampus to appear is where the challenge lies. Ghosts might pop up during ghost events, but that’s entirely random. Hunts provide a certain chance to see the ghost, but they can be perilous.
The surest way to make him show up is by activating a Summoning Circle. Keep in mind, though, that this Cursed Possession is dangerous, so it’s wise to set this up in a custom match where the friendly ghost option is toggled on, ensuring that Krampus won’t be trying to scare you to death!
When is Krampus Available in Phasmophobia?
Krampus can only be found while the Winter’s Jest event is running, which spans from December 16, 2025, to January 6, 2026. So, there’s a window of time to meet him before he scurries away. Don’t worry too much, as he’s set to return next year since this event is an annual feature.
What Does Krampus Do in Phasmophobia?
Krampus is a striking goat-like ghost with glowing white eyes and a distinct appearance. However, he lacks any special abilities apart from this unique look. He is tied to the Krampus boxes and the Naughty-or-Nice List you might encounter during your ghostly explorations, but in terms of gameplay, he functions like a regular ghost with a twist.
What Type of Ghost is Krampus in Phasmophobia?
Even though he has a rare ghost model, Krampus can represent almost any ghost type in Phasmophobia. There are two exceptions, namely the Banshee and the Dayan. Since Krampus is portrayed as a male ghost model, he will always have a male name and character, ruling out the possibility of being a Banshee or Dayan, both of which are exclusively female ghosts.
How do I activate a Summoning Circle?
To activate a Summoning Circle, find the circle on one of the designated maps and place the required items around it. Once everything is in place, step into the circle to invoke its powers.
Can Krampus harm me?
Yes, while Krampus doesn’t possess unique abilities, he can still interact with you like any other ghost can during hunts or ghost events, so be cautious!
What happens if I miss Krampus this year?
If you miss encountering Krampus this year, no worries—he’ll return during next year’s Winter’s Jest event, giving you another chance to find him!
Are there any rewards for finding Krampus?
While finding Krampus doesn’t yield special rewards, it adds to the experience of the Winter’s Jest event and enhances your ghost-hunting adventures.
