"Guide: Using the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia"

In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, tackling the most elusive ghosts often requires the use of Cursed Possessions. Among these, the Haunted Mirror stands out as a particularly useful tool, though it comes with its own set of risks and rewards. If you're hesitant to try it, let's dive into how it works and why it's worth considering.

How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

The Haunted Mirror is often regarded as one of the safest Cursed Objects in *Phasmophobia*. Its utility remains consistent across the game's updates, making it a valuable asset during your ghost-hunting endeavors. If you encounter this item during an investigation, using it is highly recommended.

The Haunted Mirror offers a unique advantage by revealing the ghost's current favorite room or area on the map through a panoramic view. This feature is especially beneficial if you're well-acquainted with the map's layout, as it significantly speeds up the process of locating the ghost and setting up your equipment before the situation escalates.

You can typically find the Haunted Mirror hanging on a wall, such as in 6 Tanglewood Drive, or lying on the floor in its designated spot. Cursed Objects always spawn in the same location on each map, though the type of object that appears is randomized.

To utilize the Haunted Mirror, simply pick it up and use the appropriate button (whether on a mouse or controller) to interact with it and hold it up. The reflection will show you a view of the ghost's preferred room. Keep in mind, on Professional difficulty or higher, the ghost can move to a different area after some time.

Exercise caution when using the Haunted Mirror, as prolonged exposure drains your sanity. If you hold it up for too long, the mirror will shatter, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your current location. Therefore, it's best to use it when your sanity is high and to quickly assess the reflection.

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, commonly referred to as "Cursed Objects," are distinctive items in *Phasmophobia* that appear randomly across various maps. Their presence can vary based on the difficulty settings or whether you're engaging in Challenge Mode.

Unlike standard equipment, which is used to safely locate ghosts and gather evidence of their activities, Cursed Objects serve as risky shortcuts that can manipulate the ghost's behavior. The level of danger associated with each object varies, and it's up to you and your team to decide whether to use them. There's no penalty for opting out, and typically, only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, unless modified in Custom settings.

There are seven different Cursed Objects available in the game, including:

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