If Void is likely to appear and the player is not on low health and is wanting to use the crucifix later on, unequip the crucifix immediately to prevent it consumed by Void. The players cannot use more than one crucifix on one entity. If they attempt to do so only one person's crucifix will be used. Since it is a powerful one-time item, it should only be equipped when the user is in complete danger. If the player is bad at dealing with entities like Ambush and Halt, they can use the crucifix to banish them.
Since the crucifix will not affect any entities inside The Rooms, it's recommended to use it before then. However, if the player is aiming to preserve the Shakelight or NVCS-3000, it's still a good idea to keep it, to reduce the risk of dying before reaching the rift.
It also contains a crescent in the middle of the hexagram, which is depicted as the Islamic crescent. Though to actually depict it, it has to be paired with a five-pointed star. Using a crucifix on Rush is only useful if all closets are taken or a double-rush occurs in the Greenhouse. Some people think that when they used the crucifix, they banished Seek. This is actually because when they watch Seek being banished, the chase is still ongoing, multiple doors have been opened, and they have been teleported by Void. This also supports that the Guiding Light is not present in The Rooms, as wielding the crucifix will give the player a message saying "Your crucifix feels lighter than normal..." and will not work against the entities that inhabit The Rooms. This adds that Guiding Light powers the item. This is likely due to the strength of the entities; lore-wise, they are important and powerful antagonists, while game-wise they serve as the most extreme tests of the player's skills, and shouldn't be skipped.
The crucifix is connected with the Guiding Light, as when it's activated, the chains appear to be the same color as Guiding Light, along the cross turning blue before it disappears. This also applies even if the crucifix is failing to work, though the chains eventually glow red and break. There was a problem when using the crucifix on Rush or Ambush when in multiplayer, as the ray-casting of said entities would still kill other players while the entities were getting banished by the crucifix. This has since been fixed. Dupe and Void are currently the only entities that cannot be seen being banished directly. Dupe is only implied that to be banished. If a player attempts to use the crucifix in The Rooms, there will be a message saying "Your crucifix feels lighter than normal..."
If the player is using safespots to hide from either Rush or Ambush, holding the crucifix out while being at the safespot can be a great way to ensure survival, as if in case either Rush or Ambush catches the player at the safespot, the crucifix will be used, saving any and all players hiding at that spot, and if the safespot worked, the crucifix will not activate, which can be saved for later.
It is not recommended to use the crucifix on entities such as Dupe or Eyes as such entities are easy to avoid.
Using crucifix on Seek can be useful in 2023 April Fools Event or if the player runs in the wrong direction. However, using the crucifix on Void will restrict it from dealing significant damage to the player. While the Figure and Seek are also hostile entities, the crucifix cannot banish them. It will only stun them for a period of time. There is a glitch where three players, each holding a crucifix and using it on Seek at the same time, will glitch Seek out of the Hotel, and it will be "banished". The crucifix does not work on A-60, A-90, or A-120. This is likely due to Guiding Light not being present in The Rooms.
