Harnessing the Power of Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward proposition during ghost investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe zone (near a hiding spot or the entrance) is recommended. This precaution allows for a quicker escape should an unfavorable card, such as Death, be drawn.
Each card instantly activates upon use, with the exception of "The Fool," which produces no effect. A maximum of 10 cards can be drawn without impacting sanity levels. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Probabilities
The game features 10 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 | 25% sanity gain (green flame); 25% sanity loss (red flame) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favored room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity depletion (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 randomly generated items in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay advantages but at significant risk to the player. Unlike standard equipment, these items directly influence ghost behavior, potentially accelerating investigation but also increasing the chances of character death. Only one Cursed Possession appears per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), each spawning in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Possessions exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
