How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

Mastering the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Ghostly Reconnaissance

Utilizing Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia can significantly aid in ghost hunting, but they come with inherent risks. The Haunted Mirror, however, offers a high reward-to-risk ratio, making it a valuable tool. This guide details its use.

The Haunted Mirror's function remains consistent across game updates: it reveals the ghost's current favored room. This panoramic view drastically reduces search time, allowing for strategic equipment placement before the hunt intensifies.

Location is key. The Haunted Mirror consistently spawns in the same location on each map (e.g., a wall in 6 Tanglewood Drive), though its appearance is randomized.

Interaction is simple: pick it up and use the designated button (mouse or controller) to activate it. Observe the reflection to pinpoint the ghost's location. However, on Professional difficulty and above, remember the ghost's favored room can change over time.

Caution is advised. Prolonged viewing depletes sanity. Holding it for the full duration shatters the mirror, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your position. Use it strategically with high sanity levels and a clear understanding of the reflected image.

Understanding Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia

Cursed Possessions, or "Cursed Objects," are randomly spawned items offering shortcuts and advantages, but at considerable risk. Unlike standard equipment, their use manipulates the ghost's behavior, potentially jeopardizing your team.

Risk varies among Cursed Objects. The decision to utilize them is entirely strategic. There's no penalty for avoiding them, and only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).

Seven Cursed Objects exist:

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