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 most advantageous Cursed Objects in Phasmophobia, offering significant rewards that often outweigh the inherent risks. Its functionality remains consistent across game updates, making it a highly recommended item to utilize if encountered during an investigation.

The Mirror's primary function is to reveal the ghost's current favored room or area. It provides a panoramic view of this location, significantly accelerating your search and allowing for strategic equipment placement before the investigation becomes perilous. This advantage is particularly helpful in larger maps.

Its typical spawn locations include walls (like in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or the floor, always at a pre-determined spot on each map. The randomness lies solely in which Cursed Object spawns, not its placement.

To use the Mirror, simply pick it up and utilize the designated interaction button (mouse or controller). The reflection will display the ghost's preferred room. However, on Professional difficulty and above, remember that 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 entire duration will shatter the Mirror, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your precise location. Therefore, utilize it judiciously, preferably 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 or advantages at the cost of significantly increased risk to your character's well-being.

The inherent risk varies among Cursed Objects, leaving the decision of whether to use them to you and your team. 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
