Mastering the 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.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, strategically deploying the Tarot Cards is crucial. Ideally, use them in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, allowing for a quick escape if a negative card is drawn (e.g., Death).
Card Mechanics
Each card produces an immediate effect upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity penalties, and duplicates yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Breakdown
The following table details the ten possible cards, their effects, and draw probabilities:
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 nullifying; 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 unique items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at significant risk. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but pose a considerable threat to player characters. The choice of whether to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
