All Monkey Paw Wishes [UPDATED 2/2/2024]

Here are all of the known Monkey Paw wishes and their effects in Phasmophobia. When making a wish using the Monkey Paw, you'll get what you asked for - but you will also be inflicted by a negative status effect that will make your ghost-hunting experience a little more challenging.

Weather Monkey Paw Wishes

For all weather-related Monkey Paw wishes, you will become momentarily blinded while the weather undergoes a change. It reduces your sanity by 25%.

I wish for clear skies – The weather will change to clear.

I wish for rain – The weather will change to rainy.

I wish for snow – The weather will change to snow.

I wish for sunrise – The weather and lighting will change to sunrise.

I wish for fog – The weather will change to foggy.

Ghost Information Monkey Paw Wishes

I wish for knowledge – The Monkey Paw will offer you a hint about the ghost's identity in your Journal, crossing out incorrect evidence and helping you narrow things down. After this, your hearing and sight will be impaired for the rest of the game. It will also star a hunt near you.

I wish for Sanity/I wish to be sane – The Monkey Paw will increase your team's average Sanity levels to 50%, but your Sanity will drop faster over time. The ghost may also move to their favorite room following this wish.

I wish to see the ghost – A ghost event will be triggered at the ghost's current location. Your vision will be obscured with a dark fog. After 5 seconds, it will disappear and a hunt will be triggered. Your vision will only return to normal once the hunt ends.

I wish for activity – It doubles all ghost activity for 2 minutes. In return, the front door will be locked for 2 minutes, and the Fuse Box will be broken.

Hunt-Related Monkey Paw Wishes

I wish the ghost was trapped/I wish to trap the ghost – The Monkey Paw will lock the Ghost in its favorite room for one minute, but will also lock you in the room you're currently standing in. The ghost cannot hunt, roam, or do abilities while locked in its room. it will also lock all doors of the wishing player's room for 1 minute. Once the minute ends, a Cursed Hunt will begin and will unlock all doors.

I wish to leave – The Monkey Paw will unlock all exit doors at any time, even during a Hunt, allowing you to escape. However, it won't be easy; you'll stop moving for 5 seconds and move more slowly for another 5 seconds which will eventually return your normal speed. Your vision will be impaired during this time.

I wish I was safe/I wish to be safe – The Monkey Paw will smash all of the lights in the room you're currently in. It will also open a hiding spot. However, the ghost can now hear and sense your equipment at any range.

I wish for life – You have a chance of reviving your teammate, but at the risk that you (or another random member of your team who is still alive) might die as well as the chance to kill will increase by 50%.

The "I wish to see the ghost" has been changed so it no longer teleports to you but spawns at its own location.
