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 near a safe zone (e.g., hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. 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 (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. Up to ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity levels. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The game features ten distinct Tarot Cards, each with a unique effect and draw probability:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | User gains/loses 25% sanity (green/red burn) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excludes hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Fully restores user's sanity | 5% |
| The Moon | Completely drains user's sanity | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card then nullifies effects | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates an extended Cursed Hunt | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instantly revives a deceased teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instantly kills the user | 1% |
Understanding Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions (or "Cursed Objects") are unique items randomly appearing on Phasmophobia maps, offering gameplay advantages at significant risk. Unlike standard equipment, they manipulate the ghost's behavior but pose a substantial threat to the players. The risk/reward balance varies depending on the specific object. 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.
