Mastering the 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, employing Tarot Cards near a safe haven (like a hiding spot or the entrance) is advisable. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Probabilities
The game features ten distinct Tarot Cards:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | 25% sanity gain (green flame); 25% sanity loss (red flame) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Fully restores sanity (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Completely drains sanity (0%) | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before nullifying effects | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates a prolonged 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 in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer powerful ghost manipulation at the cost of significant player risk. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), each in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. The choice to utilize them is entirely strategic.
