What is the best way to use the Crucifix when playing Phasmophobia? How does it affect the ghosts you’re hunting? Phasmophobia’s Crucifix is one of several tools you can take with you while exploring its haunted locations. While others help you communicate with the ghost, this one can potentially be a lifesaver.
That’s because knowing how to use the Crucifix in Phasmophobia has the ability to prevent ghosts from hunting players, giving the party more time to figure out what they’re dealing with and how to fight it.
How to Use the Crucifix in Phasmophobia
In order for Phasmophobia’s Crucifix to work, the ghost needs to be in the Crucifix’s area of effect when it intends to start hunting.
Based on our experience, the best strategy for using the Crucifix in Phasmophobia involves placing it on the floor of the room housing the ghost. The Crucifix boasts a range of approximately 3 meters and comes with two charges. Banshees are a little bit different, as they appear to be affected by the Crucifix when in a range of about 5 meters.
If the ghost is within the range of a Crucifix when it attempts to initiate a hunt, it will fail to do so while depleting one of the item’s charges. You can take up to two Crucifixes with you on each mission. You will know it’s used up both charges once it’s glowing red, let it’s been put in a blacksmith’s furnace.
It’s worth keeping in mind that Phasmophobia’s Crucifix doesn’t seem to affect the enemy after it’s already begun hunting. Thus, it’s crucial to have it near the ghost before it becomes aggressive.
