Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
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.
Acquiring the Music Box
Like other cursed items, 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, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.
Utilizing the Music Box
Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Here's how it functions:
Activation initiates a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The song's completion automatically closes the Box.
Caution: Holding the Music Box depletes your Sanity.
Triggering a Hunt
The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on these conditions:
- Throwing the active Box (not placing it down).
- 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.
Strategic Gameplay
For optimal use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during hunts, allowing ghost identification or objective completion.
