Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Ghost Hunting
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 obtain and utilize this valuable tool.
Acquiring the Music Box
Like 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 obtain it. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, activate it by interacting with it.
Utilizing the Music Box
The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its approximate location. Proximity matters: within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Music Box depletes your sanity.
Triggering Hunts with the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a standard or cursed hunt, depending on several factors:
- 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 bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during triggered hunts, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
