Phasmophobia crucifix guide

How does the Phasmophobia crucifix work? Phasmophobia is a multiplayer horror game for people whose idea of a good time includes being deafened by their friends' blood-curdling screams of terror. You and your friends are paranormal investigators, hunting down ghosts that lurk in the darkness while trying not to pee yourselves in fear. There's all sorts of ghost-hunting gear available to you, like UV lights, ouija boards, and even spirit boxes that allow you to communicate with the ghouls using voice recognition.

You'll have to figure out what kind of ghost is haunting the joint, gathering evidence at the location by using night vision cameras and thermometers - and the objectives may even include witnessing a 'ghost event' in person. Gulp. As you explore the house, your sanity will steadily drop; lights begin to flicker and you start to hear mysterious whispers and creaks. This makes you an even tastier morsel for the belligerent presence - once your sanity reaches zero, you're pretty much done for.

Fortunately, items such as the Crucifix can suppress this unholy activity and save your life - so of all the things that go bump in the night, ideally one of them won't be your petrified corpse hitting the floor. Here's how to use the Phasmophobia crucifix.

How do you get dirty water in Phasmophobia? The optional side quest can deliver a nice wad of cash and it's pretty easy to complete, once you know how.

There are plenty of sinks in Phasmophobia, found in either a bathroom or the kitchen depending on the building you're investigating, sometimes if you're lucky, they're already brimming with dirty water, but other times you need the help of a ghost to make this happen - the filthy phantoms.

If you interact with the tap, clean water will flow, and it's only if a ghost is super angry or interacts with the sink itself, that the water will turn brown. So, here's how to get dirty water in Phasmophobia.

Phasmophobia's peak player count just hit 64k on Steam

Phasmophobia, Kinetic Games' multiplayer co-op horror fest, only launched a few weeks back, but the indie game's already attracting a sizeable player base on Steam. The horror game's SteamDB tracker indicates the title hit its all-time peak player count over the past 24 hours (as of this story), and it's into the tens of thousands - just under a whopping 65k, in fact.

The exact figure - a peak of 64,830 concurrent players, according to SteamDB's charts, or 64,793 based on SteamCharts' numbers - is a pretty impressive feat for the new PC game. The former site also has a rundown of the (current) most-played games on Valve's platform, and if you order the list by 24-hour peak in descending order you'll see the new paranormal horror title's scooped a place in Steam's top fifteen over that period.

Sure, Phasmophobia's sat a little lower than some behemoths of the multiplayer games genre, like Dota 2, CS:GO, PUBG, Destiny 2, and - of course - the just-released (and very successful) Early Access Baldur's Gate 3 - but at number 14, it's currently higher up the list than Fall Guys, Warframe, Rust, and Dead by Daylight, which is a respectable feat.
