Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Location, Usage, and Hunt Triggers
Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types while escaping with their lives. The game's frequent updates introduce new elements, including the intriguing Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this cursed possession.
Locating the Music Box
The Music Box, like other cursed items in Phasmophobia, has a random spawn rate of one in seven. Its appearance is purely chance-based; there's no guaranteed method to ensure its presence. Importantly, only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, activate it by interacting with it.
Utilizing the Music Box
Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a tune. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its location. Proximity matters; within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Remember, holding the active Box depletes your sanity.
Triggering Hunts with the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a standard or cursed hunt, depending on specific circumstances:
- Throwing the active Box.
- Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Box.
- The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
- The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Box.
For optimal Music Box usage, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during hunts, enabling ghost identification or objective completion.
