Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Ghost Hunting

Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape alive. The game's updates have introduced new tools, including the elusive Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this valuable item.

Acquiring 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 obtain it. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate its unique function.

Utilizing the Music Box

The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a tune. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its proximity. If the ghost is within 5 meters, it will approach the Box. This allows for strategic placement, potentially luring the ghost to a more advantageous location. Remember, the Music Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Music Box will deplete your sanity.

Triggering Hunts

The Music Box can initiate either a standard or cursed hunt, depending on the circumstances:

  • Throwing the active Music Box.
  • Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Music Box.
  • The ghost remaining near the active Music Box for over five seconds.
  • The ghost being close to the player holding the active Music Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks to mitigate the risk of a hunt and allow for continued ghost identification or objective completion.
