How to Use Voodoo Doll in Phasmophobia

The Voodoo Doll is considered one of the safer Cursed Possessions in *Phasmophobia*, thanks to its favorable risk-reward ratio. Although recent updates have tweaked its benefits, it remains a valuable asset for ghost hunters.

The primary function of the Voodoo Doll is to provoke the ghost into performing actions that reveal evidence. By inserting pins into the doll, you can trigger the ghost to show signs like EMF5 readings or Ultraviolet prints, which is particularly useful when dealing with a ghost that's reluctant to reveal itself.

There are 10 pins available to use on the doll, but each pin insertion comes with a cost. Each pin you push in will reduce your sanity by 5%. Inserting all pins could drain up to 50% of your sanity, significantly increasing the likelihood of a ghost hunt.

The most critical risk is the pin located in the doll's heart. Inserting pins is random, and if you accidentally hit the heart pin, it will instantly drop your sanity by an additional 10% and trigger a Cursed Hunt. During a Cursed Hunt, the ghost will appear near you and hunt for an extended period—20 seconds longer than typical hunts.

Despite these risks, the Voodoo Doll can be a game-changer when used correctly, especially if you're well-prepared and understand the potential consequences.

What Are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, often referred to as "Cursed Objects," are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that can randomly appear on any map. Their availability may vary based on difficulty settings or if you're playing in Challenge Mode.

Unlike standard equipment, which helps locate ghosts and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate ghost behavior but at a much higher risk to your character. The decision to use these items is entirely up to you and your team, with no penalties for choosing not to engage with them. Typically, only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, though this can be adjusted in Custom settings.

There are seven different Cursed Objects available in the game:

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