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 inherent risk, using Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, like Death, is drawn.
Each card produces an immediate effect upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. Up to ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table outlines the ten possible cards, their effects, and 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 (excluding 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 | 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 significant player risk. Unlike standard equipment, they don't aid in evidence gathering but provide alternative ghost interaction methods. Their use is entirely optional; no penalties exist for avoiding them. 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.
