Voodoo Doll Exploits: An In-Depth Guide for Phasmophobia Enthusiasts

Mastering the Voodoo Doll in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Risk and Reward

Phasmophobia's Cursed Possessions offer shortcuts to identifying ghosts, but with significant risk. The Voodoo Doll is a prime example, offering a potentially high reward for careful use. This guide explains how to obtain and effectively utilize the Voodoo Doll.

How to Use the Voodoo Doll

The Voodoo Doll's primary function is to provoke the ghost into revealing evidence. By inserting pins, you encourage ghost activity, potentially triggering EMF5 readings or UV traces. Ten pins are available, each insertion costing 5% sanity. The crucial risk: one pin triggers an immediate, extended Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer than normal). This hunt initiates near your location, significantly increasing the danger.

Understanding Cursed Possessions

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk, high-reward items spawning randomly across Phasmophobia maps. Unlike standard equipment, they directly influence ghost behavior, but at the cost of player sanity. The choice to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).

Seven Cursed Objects exist:

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

The Voodoo Doll, while risky due to the potential for a Cursed Hunt, offers a calculated gamble for players seeking faster evidence gathering. Careful consideration of the sanity cost versus the potential evidence gained is key to successful utilization. Stay tuned to The Escapist for more Phasmophobia guides and news!
