The 2023 run of Phasmophobia’s Halloween event comprises two massive scavenger hunts, one for ingredients found around the newly renovated Maple Lodge Campsite location.
This scavenger hunt is more challenging than the recipe ingredient note one that preceded it, but this map is vast, which makes finding all of the ingredients you need pretty laborious. If you’re struggling to brew up this strange concoction to finish the Halloween event, here are all the ingredients you need for the cauldron recipe and where you can find them around the Maple Lodge Campsite map.
All Phasmophobia Maple Lodge Campsite cauldron ingredient locations
After you have found all nine recipe ingredient notes from around different Phasmophobia maps, you can then head to Maple Lodge Campsite to gather all of the ingredients listed on the notes.
There are nine ingredients you’ll have to find hidden around this map.
Bowl of grins location
The bowl of grins is a gross-looking bowl of soup with teeth, which can be found sitting on the counter in the cabin by the lake.
You can find the key to enter underneath the mat in front of the cabin’s front door.
- Walk through Reception.
- Take a right to the cabin completely opposite of your truck.
- Enter the cabin.
- Locate the counter.
- Grab the bowl.
Death’s rot location
The death’s rot required for the cauldron recipe is three rotten apples scattered by a pumpkin in a wooden crate.
- From the front gate, walk forward slightly until you see the door on your right that says “storage” and “staff only.”
- Head inside.
- Locate the buzzing flies on the left.
- Grab the apples.
Toe of frog location
The toe of the frog is a turquoise Voodoo Doll plushie sitting on a desk in front of a hanging map in the reception room.
- Starting at the front gate, walk directly forward until you reach the double doors leading into reception.
- Enter Reception.
- The doll can be found straight ahead after you enter, sitting right before a map.
- Grab the doll.
Sack of beans location
The three sacks of beans you need are bean bags sitting on a foldup table by the cauldron.
There are red and blue beanbags here, but you can use any three for the recipe.
The cauldron and the area with the bean bags are located to your immediate left after entering the Maple Lodge Campsite map.
Light in the dark location
All you need for Light of Dark is one of your flashlights, which can be found in the truck.
If you don’t have more than one, you’ll either want to throw this ingredient in last or head back to the lobby to purchase more. Otherwise, you’ll be left stumbling around the map, unable to see the other ingredients you need to gather.
Eyes of bear location
The eyes of the bear are in a bathroom sink just north of the cauldron.
- From where the cauldron is, head forward between the white and green tents down the narrow walkway.
- At the end, you’ll find an open archway into the bathroom.
- Enter to find the eyes; they are in the sink immediately on your right as you enter.
- Grab the eyes.
Screaming skull location
Unlike most other ingredients, the screaming skull is precisely what it sounds like and can be found sitting on a log by the campfire pit to the very north of the map.
- Head straight from the front gate through the reception and to the very north end of this map.
- Find the skull by a campfire pit surrounded by tents.
- Grab the skull.
Jar of mind location
The jar of mind is a brain in a glass jar sitting in the reception room.
- Starting at the front gate, walk directly forward until you reach the double doors leading into reception.
- Enter Reception.
- Locate the table.
- Grab the jar.
You can find this ingredient in this same room as the toe of the frog sitting near the west wall, among other objects on a cluttered table.
Love’s blossom location
Your last ingredient is love’s blossom, which is a flower being held by a skeleton down near the lake.
- Walk through Reception.
- Take a right to the cabin completely opposite of your truck.
- Walk to the lake towards the pier.
- Turn right to see two skeletons sitting together.
- Grab the flower from the skeleton on the right.
How do you make the Halloween cauldron recipe in Phasmophobia?
To make the cauldron recipe and officially finish Phasmophobia’s 2023 Halloween event, all you have to do is throw all nine ingredients into the cauldron using the “drop item” button.
The “drop item” button defaults to G, but you can check your journal to see which button you have assigned if you changed it.
Whenever you successfully throw an item into the cauldron, it will bubble to let you know you’ve made some progress in the recipe. Throwing items can be a finicky process, as you likely know from playing basketball in the Phasmophobia lobby, so you might have to throw some of them a few times before you make it in.

Once you’ve gathered all the ingredients, you can then create the complete cauldron recipe and finish the entire Halloween event.
The full recipe is:
- Bowl of grins: One bowl of teeth
- Death’s rot: Three rotten apples

Once you see green ghosts fly out of the cauldron and the sky is overtaken by a red skull mirage, you can head to your truck and leave. You’ll find your new trophy sitting in the main room waiting for you, and you can also swap to a particular spooky ID card style you obtained from the event.
All Phasmophobia 2023 Halloween event rewards
There are two rewards upon completion. A trophy and an ID card.
- A caldron trophy
- A Halloween ID card
The trophy will be visible in the lobby when you host, and the ID card is the first special ID to be added to the game after the Prestige update.
