How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

Mastering the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Risk and Reward

The Haunted Mirror stands out as one of the safest Cursed Objects in Phasmophobia, offering significant advantages that outweigh the inherent risks. Its function remains consistent across game updates, making it a highly recommended item to utilize if encountered during an investigation.

The Mirror's primary benefit lies in its ability to reveal the ghost's current preferred room or area. It provides a panoramic view of this location, significantly accelerating the ghost-hunting process, particularly for players familiar with the map's layout. This allows for strategic equipment placement before the investigation intensifies.

Typically, the Haunted Mirror is found either hanging on a wall (as seen in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or resting on the floor in its predetermined location. Cursed Objects always spawn in the same spot on each map; the randomness lies in which Cursed Object appears.

To use the Mirror, simply pick it up and interact with it using the designated button (mouse or controller). Its reflection will display the ghost's favored room. However, remember that on Professional difficulty and above, the ghost's location may shift after a period of time.

Caution is advised! Prolonged gazing into the Mirror depletes sanity. Holding it for the full duration results in the Mirror shattering and triggering a Cursed Hunt at your precise location. Therefore, utilize the Mirror when your sanity is high and ensure you understand the reflected image.

Understanding Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia

Unlike standard equipment, which aids in ghost detection and evidence gathering with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate the ghost but at a considerably higher risk to your character's well-being.

The risk associated with each Cursed Object varies, leaving the decision of whether to use them to the players. There's no penalty for choosing not to utilize them. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).

Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game:

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