What are Cursed Objects in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Objects (or "Cursed Possessions") are special items in Phasmophobia. Unlike standard equipment, they provide gameplay advantages at a cost. Activating them often leads to sanity loss, temporary impairments, or the triggering of a "Cursed Hunt." Cursed Hunts are more intense and prolonged than regular hunts, ignoring your sanity level. Note: Cursed Objects don't appear in all difficulty levels or Challenge Mode.

How Cursed Objects Function in Phasmophobia

Seven Cursed Objects exist, each with unique abilities and negative consequences. All significantly reduce user sanity, and proximity to the user increases the risk of a Cursed Hunt.

Below is a table detailing each object:

Cursed Object	Ability
Tarot Cards	Ten cards offering buffs, debuffs, or increased ghost activity. "Death" can trigger a Cursed Hunt.
Ouija Board	Direct communication with the ghost. Certain questions ("Hide and Seek") or shattering the board triggers a Cursed Hunt.
Haunted Mirror	Reveals the ghost's favorite room. Shattering the mirror initiates a Cursed Hunt.
Music Box	Reveals the ghost's location via a special event. Prolonged use triggers a Cursed Hunt.
Summoning Circle	Summons and traps the ghost. Always triggers a Cursed Hunt unless a Tier 3 Crucifix is present.
Voodoo Doll	Forces ghost interactions via pins. Pushing the heart pin triggers a Cursed Hunt.
Monkey Paw	Grants wishes affecting the ghost or environment. Some wishes severely impair the player.

Best Cursed Objects to Use

The optimal Cursed Object depends on the situation and game settings.

Haunted Mirror

The safest and most beneficial. Quickly reveals the ghost's location, aiding efficient evidence gathering. Use sparingly to avoid sanity loss and triggering a Cursed Hunt.

Ouija Board

Reliable for locating the ghost and the bone, crucial for "Perfect Investigation" bonuses. Careful questioning is key to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.

Voodoo Doll

Useful for triggering ghost interactions when evidence gathering is slow. Avoid the heart pin to prevent a Cursed Hunt.

This concludes our guide to Phasmophobia's Cursed Objects. Remember, strategic use is paramount to maximizing their benefits and minimizing the risks.

Phasmophobia is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
