How To Use the Monkey Paw in Phasmophobia

Using the Monkey Paw will require you to have it in your hands and active. It will listen at all times, so make sure that you don’t say anything that could sound similar to a wish while you have it in your possession, otherwise, you may waste a wish.

When making a wish with the Monkey Paw, you can either speak directly to it with a microphone or use the text chat feature to ask it a wish. As players may know by now, sometimes voice recognition in Phasmophobia isn’t always the most reliable, so if you have a particular wish you want to ask, it’s best to use the text chat feature.

The Monkey Paw will grant you three wishes, so you can use it multiple times in a single run. Since Cursed Possessions are randomized, you may need to wait to test this out. Just be sure that you’re bringing some extra sanity medication to survive through the night.

Phasmophobia is available now on PC.
