Mastering 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 entrance) is recommended. This precaution allows for a quicker escape should an unfavorable card, such as Death, be drawn.
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, The Fool card (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. Players can draw up to 10 cards without sanity penalties, and 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 favorite room for 1 minute (excludes hunts/events) | 10% |
The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
The Moon | Complete sanity drain (0%) | 5% |
The Fool | Mimics another card before reverting to 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 | Instant revival of a deceased teammate | 2% |
The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
Understanding Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk, high-reward items randomly spawning in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer ghost manipulation at the cost of significant player risk. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), each appearing in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Possessions exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. The choice to use them is entirely strategic.
