Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Location, Use, and Hunt Initiation
Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape alive. The game's frequent updates introduce new elements, including the intriguing Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this valuable tool.
Locating the Music Box
Similar to other cursed items in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is entirely random; there's no guaranteed method to find it. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to activate its unique properties.
Utilizing the Music Box
Several strategies involve the Music Box. Its core function is as follows:
Upon activation, the Music Box plays a tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within a 5-meter radius, the ghost will actively move toward the Music Box. This allows strategic placement, potentially luring the ghost to a desired location. The Music Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes.
A crucial consideration: holding the Music Box depletes your sanity.
Initiating a Hunt with the Music Box
The Music Box can trigger either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on specific circumstances:
- Cursed Hunt Triggers:
- Throwing the active Music Box.
- Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Music Box.
- The ghost approaching the Music Box for over five seconds.
- The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.
Strategic Gameplay
For optimal use, consider employing additional tools alongside the Music Box. Smudge Sticks, for example, offer a crucial survival advantage should a hunt commence, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
