Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario for ghost hunters. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to the inherent risks, using Tarot Cards near a safe zone (like a hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.
Each card activates immediately upon use. However, The Fool card (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. Up to ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect as the original.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table details the ten possible Tarot Cards, their effects, and their respective draw probabilities:
| 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 (excludes hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity drain (0%) | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before becoming The Fool; no effect | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event for the nearest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates a prolonged Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instant revival of a deceased teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instant death for 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 risk to the player's character. The decision to use them is entirely strategic. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).
Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. Each spawns in a predetermined location.
