Utilizing the Voodoo Doll in Phasmophobia

The Voodoo Doll, despite its inherent risks, offers a favorable risk-reward ratio in Phasmophobia. While game updates have modified its effectiveness, it remains a valuable asset.

Its primary function is to provoke the ghost into revealing evidence. This is achieved by sequentially inserting pins into the doll. It's particularly useful for evasive or quiet ghosts, prompting actions like EMF5 readings or UV fingerprint displays.

Ten pins can be inserted, each reducing the user's sanity by 5%. Inserting all pins depletes 50% sanity, significantly increasing the likelihood of a ghost hunt.

The most critical risk is the heart pin. Pin insertion is random; hitting the heart pin instantly triggers a Cursed Hunt, decreasing sanity by 10% and initiating a prolonged (20 seconds longer) ghost hunt near the user.

Despite the risks, the Voodoo Doll's potential for evidence gathering makes it worthwhile, provided adequate preparation.

Understanding Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia

Cursed Possessions (often called "Cursed Objects") are unique items randomly appearing across Phasmophobia maps, influenced by difficulty and Challenge Mode.

Unlike standard equipment, which safely gathers evidence, Cursed Objects manipulate the ghost at significant risk to the player. Their risk varies; using them is optional, with no penalty for declining. Only one spawns per contract (unless customized).

Seven Cursed Objects exist:

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