How to Use Voodoo Doll in Phasmophobia
The primary function of the Voodoo Doll is to compel the ghost to perform evidence-related actions. This is achieved by inserting pins into the doll, one at a time, which can be particularly useful when dealing with a ghost that's being stubborn or quiet. By doing this, you can provoke the ghost to reveal evidence such as EMF5 readings or Ultraviolet prints.
There are 10 pins available to insert into the doll, but caution is necessary as each pin inserted reduces the user's sanity by 5%. Inserting all pins could drain up to 50% of your sanity, significantly increasing the risk of ghost hunts.
The most significant risk associated with the Voodoo Doll is the pin located in the doll's heart. The order of the pins is random, and if you insert the heart pin, it will instantly reduce your sanity by 10% and trigger a Cursed Hunt. During this hunt, the ghost will spawn near your location and pursue you for an extended period, 20 seconds longer than normal hunts.
Despite these risks, the potential reward of gathering crucial evidence can be worth it, provided you're well-prepared and cautious.
What Are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?
Unlike regular equipment, which helps locate ghosts and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects serve as shortcuts to manipulate ghost behavior at a higher risk to the player. The decision to use these objects is up to you and your team, with no penalty for choosing not to engage with them. Only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, unless modified in Custom settings.
There are seven different Cursed Objects in the game, each with its own set of abilities and risks:
- Haunted Mirror
- Voodoo Doll
- Music Box
- Tarot Cards
- Ouija Board
- Monkey Paw
- Summoning Circle
