How to complete the Cursed Hollow event in Phasmophobia
The Cursed Hollow event features three specific objectives you can complete to contribute points for the community reward pool and your own individual prize collection. The three key goals you need to focus on to help in the event are as follows.
- Identify ghosts correctly.
- Complete optional objectives.
- Find and reveal any Forest Minions.
This event is a mix of gameplay and reward systems present in the past seasonal events, so it can be tricky to figure out if you're already familiar with other annual festivities. The easiest way to navigate it is by focusing on the three key targets.
Cursed Hollow event maps in Phasmophobia
The Cursed Hollow event has 10 maps you can visit and explore to make progress. These maps rotate daily, so you can only visit a few different ones each time you log on.
You can only tackle Cursed Hollow event tasks while playing on the featured daily maps. All active event maps for the day are marked with a Forest Minion nest icon on the map board.

How to identify ghosts correctly for Cursed Hollow event in Phasmophobia
The first goal in this event is to correctly identify ghosts. This is the staple gameplay feature in Phasmophobia, so you likely already have a solid understanding of how to tackle this endeavor.
The main way you can identify ghosts correctly is by catching all three types of evidence. This can be done by testing for all types of evidence using your trusty ghost-hunting equipment. Use a Thermometer to check for Freezing Temps, use a UV Light to look for fingerprints, handprints, and footprints, and so on, with all other equipment, until you've found three kinds of evidence.
Once you have three pieces of evidence circled in your journal, the correct ghost is highlighted. All ghosts have a specific combination of three evidence types, so gathering three gets you the correct answer.
If you're having trouble gathering official evidence, there are also lots of unofficial behaviors and evidence features you can watch out for. Examples of this are that Wraiths never walk in Salt, The Mimic always presents fake Ghost Orbs as evidence, and Banshees perform singing events more frequently.
Between official and unofficial evidence, do your absolute best to get the ghost right in every contract. The more you nail, the more you'll help make progress in the event.
How to complete optional objectives for Cursed Hollow event in Phasmophobia
The second key event task is to complete optional objectives. You can tackle three bonus tasks for extra rewards in each contract. They're listed on the corkboard next to the screens in the truck.
Optional objectives are randomized in every contract you tackle. Some are fairly easy, like cleansing the area using Incense, while others are fairly difficult, like capturing a photo of the ghost. Do your best to finish as many of these goals as frequently as you can to contribute more progress to the event.
How to find and reveal any Forest Minions for Cursed Hollow event in Phasmophobia
The third and final event task is to find and reveal any Forest Minions. These small creatures can be found hiding in Forest Minion nests around event maps. You can reveal them by shining or placing a DOTS Projector nearby.
Forest Minion nests are made up of twigs and have several colorful broken eggs inside them. There are many nests on each map, and you need to check all of them with a DOTS Projector to reveal all Forest Minions. Messing with them can cause some adverse effects, like agitating the Forest Spirit ghost.
All Cursed Hollow event rewards in Phasmophobia
There are four rewards in the Cursed Hollow event, although some of them are upgrades to each other. You can earn two rewards for tackling community goals and two prizes for finishing personal goals. The Cursed Hollow cosmetics are unlockable in this event, but won't actually be available until the player character update is released later on down the Phasmophobia roadmap.
- Community goals: Pathfinder Event ID Card + Badge and Foil Pathfinder (Animated) event ID Card + Badge.
- Personal goals: Cursed Hollow cosmetics and upgradable event trophy.
How to claim Cursed Hollow event rewards in Phasmophobia
Cursed Hollow event rewards are automatically awarded to players upon logging in after meeting an event goal. In most other previous events, you had to manually claim your rewards by a certain time. This is not the case with Cursed Hollow, so your rewards will be granted as long as you log in after quests have been completed while the event is still active.
Most rewards will be available right away, with the exception of the Cursed Hollow cosmetics. These items won't be obtainable until the player character update is released, as there's currently no way to customize your avatar. This update is expected to arrive sometime in the first half of 2026, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long for it.
How long is the Cursed Hollow event in Phasmophobia?
The Cursed Hollow event is available to complete from March 31 until April 21. This gives all players precisely three full weeks to complete all event tasks and claim all available rewards. Cursed Hollow is an annual event, so it will be back again in 2027, but some of the available prizes change each year, so earning the ones you like this time around is crucial.
