can't find cursed items?

[ColaBB]

I found some pages where to find items so I tested it on tanglewood but I don't see any of them? Are there restrictions to them spawning? I do still play on amateur so I think that might be it but I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

What level of difficulty are you playing ?

In each game (even on amateur) there will be exactly one cursed item spawning. You just go through the 6 possible locations until you find the one that spawned. If you're not finding any, then you're probably overlooking it.

For Tanglewood specifically:
- the music box would sit on the shelf in the nursery, next to the teddy bear
- the mirror would hang on the left-hand wall in front of the master bedroom
- the tarot cards would lie on the small round table next to the window in the living room
- the summoning circle would be on the basement floor
- the ouija board would be at the far end of the basement
- the voodoo doll would lie on a barrel in a corner of the garage

Most of them are easy to spot. The music box is fairly small, but still easy to see due to the contrast with the shelf color. The tarot cards don't look like a deck of cards at all imho (more like a grey cloth bag), but if you found them once, you'll know what to look for.

Note that in order to interact with these items, your hand must be free while clicking on them.

I may have overlooked the tarot cards location at both turns now that I think about it, just played two games with a friend and found the ouija board twice. I'll keep a better eye out from here to come although looking for them do costs a lot of time I noticed.

You'll get pretty fast once you know what to look for, and where. :)

You want to check every room anyway as you're looking not only for the cursed item, but also for the ghost room and the bone. On amateur difficulty, you have 5 minutes before the ghost can start hunting, and in most cases even longer because even after those 5 minutes, your sanity will still be too high for a ghost hunt. On small maps like Tanglewood, you can usually find everything and identify the ghost without getting into a hunt, especially if you're playing together with a friend. On larger maps that's a different story though. ;)
