Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Location, Usage, and Hunt Triggers

Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape alive. The game's updates have introduced numerous items, including the enigmatic Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this crucial tool.

Locating the Music Box

Like other cursed objects, the Music Box 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 playthrough. Once located, interact with it to activate its unique properties.

Utilizing the Music Box

The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a melody. A ghost within a 20-meter radius will respond vocally, revealing its position. Proximity matters: if the ghost is within five meters, it will approach the Box. This allows for strategic placement, luring the ghost to a desired location. Note that the Music Box automatically deactivates after the song concludes. Holding the active Music Box will also deplete your sanity.

Triggering Hunts with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a standard or 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.

For optimal effectiveness, consider using supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during hunts, enabling ghost identification and objective completion.
