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. 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. Using a crucifix on Rush is only useful if all closets are taken or a double-rush occurs in the Greenhouse.

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..."

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.

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.Attempting to use the crucifix on El Goblino will result in him saying "¡Oye! Watch where you swing that thing, hombre! Uff!" Since it is a powerful one-time item, it should only be equipped when the user is in complete danger.

This message, when translated and ran through the Caesar cipher, reads "OneOfTheThreeArchitectsMarkedByCelestialsAssistsYou." Crucifixes in biblical stories are known for banishing demons or exorcising them, concluding that the entities are demons of some sort. However, a difference of the crucifix from the Totem of Undying is that the crucifix is activated when the player would have taken damage, while the Totem of Undying activates when the player would have died.In the sigil's inner circle is a message in the font "WingDings", a font that displays letters as symbols. 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.

There is reason to suspect that the crucifix's design is inspired by Phasmophobia's crucifix due to the similarity in their designs. Both have a similar use animation, with the crucifix burning/lighting up and then breaking. [ citation needed] The crucifix does not work on April Fools Exclusive Entities (Jeff The Killer, Banana Peel, Greed, Evil Key, Subspace Tripmine). 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. 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. If the player is bad at dealing with entities like Ambush and Halt, they can use the crucifix to banish them. When the crucifix is used on an entity, Rush's far ambience can be heard faintly. [ citation needed] The crucifix is technically a simple cross. For it to be defined as a proper crucifix, it must depict Christ on it.
