During the Cursed Hollow event inPhasmophobia, players must locate hidden Forest Minions scattered throughout haunted maps. This special Easter-themed event introduces a mischievous Forest Spirit, a supernatural entity that takes the form of a bunny, visiting random locations to cause chaos and disrupt investigations.
Forest Minions serve as loyal servants to the Forest Spirit, and collecting them can have a direct impact on both the map and the haunting. To encourage participation, Kinetic Games is testing a new reward system tied to the event. Since Forest Minions are particularly elusive inPhasmophobia, this guide explains how to find them efficiently.
How to Find Forest Minions
The Cursed Hollow event runs from April 17 to May 7.During this period, players receive special objectives aimed at dispelling the Forest Spirit’s haunted locations, which rotate daily, allowing players the opportunity to experience the event across a wide variety of maps.Nest icons on the map selection screen indicate which areas are currently affected by the Forest Spirit.
Before setting out to hunt Forest Minions, players should equip the following items to improve their chances of success:
Upon arriving at a map haunted by the Forest Spirit, players will notice distinct visual changes: twigs, broken egg nests, and glowing green jars with fluttering bugs scattered across the area.Forest Minions hide in the nestsand cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Using a D.O.T.S. Projectorwill reveal the minions. Players must shine the projector directly on a nest; if a Forest Minion is present, it will briefly appear before hopping away and vanishing. Whispering or chattering sounds may also indicate a nearby minion.Once all Forest Minions on a map are collected, the Forest Spirit reacts, sometimes providing benefits, other times introducing new challenges.
Bringing Sanity Medication is recommended to counteract any adverse effects from these encounters..
While they rotate every day, the Forest Spirit appearsat the following nine maps:

Because the spirit’s location changes daily, players are encouraged to revisit the game frequently to experience every haunted map and maximize their event progress.
