How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

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

In Phasmophobia, conquering the most elusive specters sometimes requires employing risky yet rewarding Cursed Possessions. The Haunted Mirror stands out as a particularly useful, relatively safe option. This guide details its functionality.

The Haunted Mirror offers significant advantages with minimal risk, making it a highly recommended find. Its core function remains consistent across game updates: it reveals the ghost's current favored room on the map. This panoramic view significantly accelerates ghost location, allowing for strategic equipment placement before the investigation intensifies.

Typically located on a wall (like in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or on the floor, its precise spawn point is consistent for each map; the randomness lies in which Cursed Object appears.

To utilize it, pick up the mirror and interact with it (using the appropriate button on your mouse or controller). The reflection displays the ghost's current haunt. However, on Professional difficulty and above, remember the ghost's location can shift after a time.

Caution: prolonged observation depletes sanity. Holding it for the entire duration shatters the mirror, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your location. Use it wisely when sanity is high and you understand the reflection's implications.

Understanding Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia

Cursed Possessions, or "Cursed Objects," are unique, randomly spawning items across Phasmophobia maps (spawn rates may vary based on difficulty and Challenge Mode).

Unlike standard equipment, which safely gathers evidence, Cursed Objects offer strategic advantages at a higher risk to your character. Their risk levels vary; using them is entirely optional. Only one spawns per contract (unless customized).

Seven Cursed Objects exist:

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