In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, confronting the most elusive ghosts sometimes necessitates the use of risky yet rewarding Cursed Possessions. Among these, the Haunted Mirror stands out as a particularly useful tool, though it's wise to understand its mechanics before diving in.
How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia
The Haunted Mirror is considered the safest Cursed Object in *Phasmophobia*, offering significant benefits with minimal risks. Its functionality has remained consistent through numerous game updates, making it a valuable asset during your ghost-hunting expeditions.
When you spot the Haunted Mirror, it's highly recommended to use it. The mirror provides a panoramic view of the ghost's current favorite room or area on the map, allowing you to quickly locate the ghost and strategically set up your equipment before things get too dangerous.
You'll typically find the Haunted Mirror hanging on a wall, such as at 6 Tanglewood Drive, or lying on the floor in its designated spot. While Cursed Objects always appear in the same location on each map, the specific object that spawns is randomized.
To utilize the Haunted Mirror, simply pick it up and use the appropriate button (mouse or controller) to interact with it and hold it up. Its reflection will show you the ghost's favored room. However, if you're playing on Professional difficulty or higher, keep in mind that the ghost may move to a different area after some time.
Exercise caution and avoid staring into the Haunted Mirror for too long, as this will drain your sanity. If you hold it up for the entire duration, the mirror will shatter, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your current location. Therefore, use it when your sanity is high and quickly interpret what you see in the reflection.
What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?
Cursed Possessions, often referred to as "Cursed Objects," are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that randomly appear on any map, influenced by difficulty settings or if you're tackling Challenge Mode.
Unlike regular equipment, which helps locate ghosts and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects serve as shortcuts or cheats to manipulate the ghost, albeit at a higher risk to your character. Some are safer than others, and it's up to you and your team to decide whether to use them. There's no penalty for opting out. Typically, only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, unless you modify this in Custom settings.
Here are the seven Cursed Objects available in the game:
- Summoning Circle
- Haunted Mirror
- Voodoo Doll
- Music Box
- Tarot Cards
- Ouija Board
- Monkey Paw
