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

Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape with their lives. The game's frequent updates introduce new elements, including the intriguing Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this item.

Locating the Music Box

Like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, the Music Box 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 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 tune. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its approximate position. Proximity matters: if the ghost is within 5 meters, it will move towards the Music Box, creating a lure. Remember, the Music Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. A crucial note: holding the activated Music Box depletes 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: Throwing the box while it's playing triggers a hunt.
• Zero Sanity while holding the active Music Box: Reaching 0% sanity while holding the playing Music Box also initiates a hunt.
• Ghost proximity and interaction: If the ghost approaches and interacts with the Music Box for over five seconds, or is near the player holding the active Music Box, a hunt will begin.

Strategic Considerations

For optimal Music Box usage, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a crucial survival advantage should a hunt commence, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
