Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward proposition during ghost investigations. This guide clarifies their usage.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, employing Tarot Cards strategically is crucial. A safe location, 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.
Card Mechanics
Each card triggers an immediate effect. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without sanity penalties. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table details each card's effect and 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 | 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 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 randomly appearing in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer ghost manipulation but at significant risk to the player. Their use is optional; no penalties exist for avoiding them. Only one spawns per contract (unless adjusted in Custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Objects exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
