Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia
Like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a relatively low spawn rate – approximately a one in seven chance per map. There's no guaranteed method to find it; it's purely a matter of luck. Only one Music Box can appear per game. Once located, simply interact with it to pick it up, and interact again to activate its haunting melody.
How to Use the Music Box
Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Once activated, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will join in, revealing its position. Get closer, within five meters, and the ghost will actively move towards the Music Box. You can strategically place the activated Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost, acting as a ghostly beacon. Remember, the song ends automatically, and the Music Box closes. A word of caution: holding the Music Box depletes your sanity.
How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box
The Music Box can trigger either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on circumstances. A cursed hunt is initiated if:
- The active Music Box is thrown (not placed).
- The player holding the active Music Box reaches 0% sanity.
- The ghost approaches the Music Box for over five seconds.
- The ghost is near the player holding the active Music Box.
For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These can help you survive a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete other objectives.
