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:

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.

This concludes the guide on Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia. Refer to The Escapist for further game guides and news.
