Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Location, Usage, and Hunt Triggers
Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape with their lives. The game's updates have introduced new tools, including the enigmatic Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this valuable item.
Locating the Music Box
The Music Box, like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is random; there's no guaranteed method to ensure its presence. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to activate its chilling melody.
Utilizing the Music Box
The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a haunting tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will join in, revealing its approximate location. Proximity matters: within five meters, the ghost will actively move towards the Music Box, providing an excellent opportunity for tracking. Remember, the Music Box can be placed on the ground after activation, acting as a ghost lure. The music stops automatically after a set duration. A word of caution: holding the Music Box depletes your sanity.
Triggering Hunts with the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a standard or a cursed hunt, depending on specific circumstances:
- 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 Considerations
For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a crucial survival advantage if a hunt is triggered, allowing you to continue identifying the ghost or completing other objectives.
