Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards are among the riskiest Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia, offering substantial rewards but equally significant dangers. This guide details their usage.
Strategic Use: Safety First
Due to their inherent risk, using Tarot Cards in a safe zone, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This allows for a quick escape if an unfavorable card, like Death, is drawn.
Card Mechanics
Each card triggers an immediate effect. However, The Fool acts as a wildcard, producing no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity loss, and duplicates yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Effects
The following table outlines the ten possible cards and their effects:
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 | Instant revival of a fallen teammate | 2% |
The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk, high-reward items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia contracts. Unlike standard equipment, they offer ghost manipulation at the cost of increased player risk. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified 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.
