Mastering the Phasmophobia Music Box: A Guide to Location, Use, and Hunt Triggers
Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape alive. The game's updates have introduced new items, including the enigmatic Music Box. This guide details how to obtain and utilize this crucial tool.
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 entirely random; there's no guaranteed method to find one. Only a single 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
The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will join in, 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 Box automatically stops playing and closes after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Music Box decreases your sanity.
Triggering Hunts with the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on the circumstances:
- Throwing the active Music Box (not placing it down).
- 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.
For effective Music Box usage, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These will aid survival during hunts, allowing ghost identification or objective completion.
