What are Cursed Objects in Phasmophobia?
Unlike standard equipment, Cursed Objects offer strategic advantages, but always at a cost. These "cheats" can reveal ghost locations, enhance team capabilities, but often result in substantial sanity loss, temporary impairments (like blindness), or unexpected Cursed Hunts. Strategic use is key; sometimes, avoiding them is the wiser choice. Note that Cursed Objects don't appear at all difficulty levels or in Challenge Mode.
How Cursed Objects Function in Phasmophobia
Cursed Hunts are similar to regular hunts but ignore sanity levels and can occur even after a recent hunt, lasting 20 seconds longer. This makes escape more challenging, depending on difficulty settings.
The following table details each Cursed Object's function:
| Cursed Object | Ability |
|---|---|
| Tarot Cards | Ten cards offering buffs, debuffs, or increased ghost activity. "Death" can trigger a Cursed Hunt. |
| Ouija Board | Direct communication with the ghost. Specific questions ("Hide and Seek") or shattering the board triggers a Cursed Hunt. |
| Haunted Mirror | Reveals the ghost's favorite room. Shattering the mirror triggers a Cursed Hunt. |
| Music Box | Reveals the ghost's location via a special event. Prolonged use triggers a Cursed Hunt. |
| Summoning Circle | Summons and traps the ghost. Always triggers a Cursed Hunt unless a Tier 3 Crucifix is present. |
| Voodoo Doll | Forces ghost interactions via pins. Pushing the heart pin triggers a Cursed Hunt. |
| Monkey Paw | Grants wishes influencing the ghost or environment. Some wishes severely impair the player. |
Best Cursed Objects to Use
Choosing the right Cursed Object depends on game mode and difficulty. Some are safer and more beneficial than others.
