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 the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This precaution allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, like Death, is drawn.
Each card activates immediately upon use, offering a unique effect. However, The Fool card (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without impacting sanity levels. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The game features 10 distinct 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 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 | Restores sanity to 100% | 5% |
| The Moon | Drains sanity to 0% | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before becoming The Fool; no effect | 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, offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of increased danger to your character. Unlike standard equipment, they act as game modifiers, with no penalty for non-use. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game.
