Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario during ghost investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their unpredictable nature, it's advisable to use Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, to facilitate a quick escape if a negative card is drawn (like Death).
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without sanity penalties, and duplicates yield the same effect as the original.
Tarot Card Effects and Probabilities
The game features ten unique Tarot Cards, each with a specific effect and draw probability:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | ±25% sanity (green/red burn) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excludes hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Restores sanity to 100% | 5% |
| The Moon | Drains sanity to 0% | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card, then nullifies; no effect | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates an extended Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instantly revives a fallen teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instantly kills the user | 1% |
Understanding Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items that randomly appear on contract maps, offering gameplay advantages at the cost of significant player risk. Unlike standard equipment, they manipulate the ghost's behavior, but with potentially severe consequences. The choice to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in total: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
