Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia
The Music Box, like other cursed possessions in *Phasmophobia*, has a one in seven chance of appearing on the map. This element of chance means there's no surefire way to ensure you'll encounter a Music Box; it all boils down to luck. Remember, only one Music Box can spawn per map. If luck is on your side and it appears during your run, you can pick it up and activate it by pressing the Interact key once more.
How to Use the Music Box
The Music Box in *Phasmophobia* offers several strategic uses, which we'll explore in detail. First, let's understand its basic functionality. Upon activation, the Music Box plays a haunting melody. If a ghost is within 20 meters of the Box, it will start singing along, helping you to pinpoint its location. Moreover, should the ghost be within five meters, it will be drawn towards the Music Box, making it an effective lure. You can also place the Music Box on the ground after activation to draw the ghost closer. Be aware, though, that the Box will automatically shut off once the song ends.
It's crucial to note that your Sanity will decrease while you're holding the Music Box, adding an extra layer of tension to its use.
How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a cursed hunt or a standard hunt, based on specific conditions. To trigger a cursed hunt, one of these criteria must be met:
- The Box is thrown while active (not placed down).
- The player holding the Music Box reaches 0% Sanity while it's playing.
- The ghost walks towards the Music Box for more than five seconds.
- The ghost is near the player holding the Music Box while it's playing.
To maximize the effectiveness of the Music Box, consider bringing additional tools like Smudge Sticks. These can be vital for surviving a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other map objectives with greater safety.
