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:

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.

This concludes the guide on using Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia. Consult The Escapist for further Phasmophobia guides and news.
