Phasmophobia is one of the scariest psychological horror games where players are the ghost-hunters, and their job is to enter a haunted house, collect evidence, survive hunts and determine the ghost type haunting the house to get money. Completing the objectives on the board and determining the correct ghost type is essential to get money in Phasmophobia.
Next, players can use this money to purchase essential items like torches, smudge sticks, crucifix, etc. This guide will help you know how to use Crucifix in Phasmophobia.
Crucifix in Phasmophobia- How to Get and Use It?
We have already mentioned that Crucifix is a purchasable item in Phasmophobia. Players need the required amount of money ($30) to get Crucifix. The in-game description of the item says it prevents ghosts from hunting if placed near them. In Phasmophobia, 4 players can make a group and go for the missions to investigate ghosts. But players can carry only 2 Crucifix with them.
The Crucifix is an essential piece of equipment in Phasmophobia. Players need this item to protect themselves from ghosts. Crucifix prevents the ghosts from entering their physical form and hunting players if you place them at an accurate distance in the ghost room or from the ghost room. The Crucifix can be placed on the floor within three meters of the ghost in the ghost room. However, players can hold it in their hands, but placing it will give more effective results. The Crucifix placing position is similar for all the ghosts, except for Banshee. Players can drive Banshee away, even if they place the Crucifix 5 meters away from the ghost.
Though Crucifix saves players from the ghost hunt, it won’t work throughout your investigation. It will only work twice. It’ll appear as burning when it prevents the hunt for the first time. The Crucifix will become glowing red to indicate that it has blocked the first hunt and will work only once after it. Once it blocks the last and the final hunt, you’ll find the Crucifix disappears. It’ll work no more. There is no sound of the Crucifix preventing a hunt; you have to keep an eye on the Crucifix and once it disappears, leave the house as soon as possible.
That’s all you need to know about using a Crucifix in Phasmophobia. But remember Crucifix won’t work in some special cases like-
- If the ghost is not in the room where it is placed or is placed beyond 3 meters distance from the ghost.
- If players have used any Cursed Possessions to initiate the hunt.
- If the hunt is already started and you placed the crucifix in the middle of the ongoing hunt.
These are the situations when the crucifix won’t work in Phasmophobia. Otherwise, it’ll effectively prevent ghost hunts if used correctly.
