Phasmophobia Monkey Paw Wishes and Effects

The Monkey Paw works by speaking into your microphone and issuing commands. It will grant an effect based on what command you give while holding it. Here’s are all the commands you can give it and their effects:

I wish for clear skies – Clear up the weather.
I wish for rain – Changes the weather to rainy.
I wish for snow – Changes the weather to snow.
I wish for sunrise – Changes the weather to sunrise.
I wish for fog – Changes the weather to foggy.
I wish for knowledge – You’ll be given a clue as to what kind of ghost you’re investigating.
I wish for Sanity – Increases your Sanity levels.
I wish the ghost was trapped – Locks the entire building.
I wish to leave – Unlocks the building allowing to escape during ghost hunts.
I wish to see the ghost – The ghost appears in front of you.
I wish for activity – A ghost activity will ensue.
I wish to be safe – A hiding spot is created nearby.
I wish for life – Revives one of your teammates but kills you in return.
I wish for anything – A random wish is granted.

This Cursed Item is relatively new at the time of this article being written so there’s still a lot of possibilities that we don’t know. You can try to experiment with any command so long as it starts with “I wish” and then specify what you want to happen.

For those without a microphone, you can input text commands by right clicking which opens up three categories to choose from. Select wish, and then type in what wish you want the Monkey Paw to grant.

How Many Wishes Can You Make With the Monkey Paw in Phasmophobia?

The Monkey Paw can be used up to 3 to 5 times depending on the difficulty you selected before the mission in Phasmophobia. On easier difficulties, you can have up to five wishes. Harder difficulties will limit it to only three.

The good news is that even if you use up all your wishes, you’re still able to take photos of the Monkey Paw for bonus experience and cash.
