Mastering the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Risk and Reward
The Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia presents a unique risk-reward scenario. Its ability to reveal the ghost's favored room significantly aids investigation, often outweighing the inherent dangers. This guide details its use and explains the broader context of Cursed Possessions.
Utilizing the Haunted Mirror's Power
The Haunted Mirror provides a panoramic view of the ghost's current location. This crucial information speeds up the investigation process, allowing for strategic equipment placement before the encounter becomes perilous. Its location is fixed within each map, although its appearance is random. You'll typically find it hanging on a wall or resting on the floor.
Interaction is straightforward: pick up the mirror and use the designated button (mouse or controller) to activate it. The reflection displays the ghost's preferred room. However, remember that on Professional difficulty and above, the ghost's location may shift over time.
Caution is paramount! Prolonged observation depletes your sanity. Holding the mirror continuously results in its shattering and triggers a Cursed Hunt at your precise location. Therefore, use it judiciously when your sanity is high, and interpret the reflection swiftly.
Understanding Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
The risk-reward balance varies among the seven available Cursed Objects:
- Summoning Circle
- Haunted Mirror
- Voodoo Doll
- Music Box
- Tarot Cards
- Ouija Board
- Monkey Paw
Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings). Their use is entirely optional; no penalties exist for ignoring them. Choose wisely based on your team's strategy and risk tolerance.
