Phasmophobia’s annual Easter festivities are back for 2025 with the Cursed Hollow event. Like all events, this one tasks you with tracking down some special objectives during your ghost-hunting endeavors, which are Forest Minions.

Finding and interacting with these strange creatures is the most important task in the entire event. They’re notoriously tricky to locate, so here’s how to find Forest Minions in the Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow Easter event.

Forest Minions can be found on nine different maps for the duration of the Cursed Hollow event. The maps rotate daily, so the exact locations you can visit to find Forest Minions change each day. All of the maps featured in this event are as follows.

At all of these locations, Forest Minions can be found sitting in small circular nests. The nests are made of sticks and have lots of colorful broken eggs inside them. You can’t see Forest Minions right away, so to reveal them, you have to put in a bit of extra work.

How to reveal Forest Minions in Phasmophobia

You can reveal Forest Minions by placing a Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III DOTS Projector near a nest. Not all nests have a hidden Forest Minion sitting in them, but the only way to discover whether one is present is by using a DOTS Projector to uncover it.

You can sometimes hear whether or not a Forest Minion is present by standing close to a nest to listen for a subtle chittering and whispering sound. It’s super low and usually takes longer to listen for it than it does to place DOTS, so I recommend just using your equipment to ensure you don’t miss one.

If there is a Forest Minion in the nest, you’ll see a small creature moving under the DOTS. It will look around for a few seconds, then hop away. They can hop off to the side or jump right at your face, so be ready for a possible jump scare. Points are granted as soon as the Forest Minion hops off, so you don’t need to take a picture of them.

There generally seem to be around three Forest Minions present on each map. This number seems to vary a bit, though, as I’ve seen up to seven in certain rounds, so be sure to check all Forest Minion nests around each map to make sure you don’t miss any of them.

What are Forest Minions in Phasmophobia?

Forest Minions are invisible creatures that serve the Cursed Hollow seasonal ghost, the Forest Spirit. They can be revealed by a DOTS Projector across nine maps to help you score some event points.

What do Forest Minions look like in Phasmophobia?

Forest Minions look like Jackalopes in Phasmophobia. They’re decently tough to see since you can only see their general outline under the DOTS Projector, but they do take on a small bunny shape with antlers on their head.

What do Forest Minions do in Phasmophobia?

Forest Minions grant you event points to help complete both community and individual goals in the Easter Cursed Hollow event. Each one you reveal seems to generally grant two event points, which helps you quickly make progress.

Disturbing the Forest Minions can also alter the Forest Spirit’s behavior in the event. Your sanity might be drained, ghost activity may increase, you might see a ghost event, and other such effects may occur when these creatures are revealed. There are quite a few possible Forest Spirit effects, so be careful how many you reveal.
