"Mastering the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia: A Guide"

In your quest to track down and conquer the most elusive ghosts in *Phasmophobia*, you might find yourself drawn to the game's special Cursed Possessions. These items can offer significant advantages, but they come with risks. Among them, the Haunted Mirror stands out as a particularly useful tool, especially if you understand how to wield it effectively.

How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

The Haunted Mirror is often considered the safest Cursed Object in *Phasmophobia* due to its substantial benefits with relatively low risk. Its functionality has remained consistent across various game updates, making it a reliable choice whenever you encounter it during your investigations.

The key advantage of the Haunted Mirror is its ability to reveal the ghost's current favorite room or area on the map. By providing a panoramic view of the room, it enables you to quickly pinpoint the ghost's location, especially if you're familiar with the map's layout. This can significantly speed up your setup process before the situation escalates.

You can find the Haunted Mirror typically hanging on a wall or lying on the floor in its designated spot. While Cursed Objects always appear in the same location on each map, the specific item that spawns is randomized.

To use the Haunted Mirror, simply pick it up and use the appropriate interaction button (mouse or controller) to hold it up. You'll see the ghost's preferred room reflected in the mirror. Keep in mind, if you're playing on Professional difficulty or higher, the ghost may change locations over time.

However, caution is advised. Prolonged exposure to the mirror's reflection will drain your sanity. If you hold it up until it shatters, a Cursed Hunt will be triggered at your current location. Therefore, it's crucial to use the mirror when your sanity is high and to quickly interpret what you see in the reflection.

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, commonly referred to as "Cursed Objects," are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that randomly appear on any map, influenced by difficulty settings or Challenge Mode. Unlike regular equipment, which helps locate the ghost and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate the ghost but at a much higher risk to your character.

The safety of using these objects varies based on their specific abilities. It's up to you and your team to decide whether to employ them, as there's no penalty for choosing not to. Typically, only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, though this can be altered in Custom settings.

Here's a list of the seven different Cursed Objects available in the game:

• Summoning Circle
• Haunted Mirror
• Voodoo Doll
• Music Box
• Tarot Cards
• Ouija Board
• Monkey Paw
