Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario during investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards:
Due to the inherent risks, using Tarot Cards in a safe area (near a hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.
Card Mechanics:
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, there's a chance of drawing "The Fool," a null effect card. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Breakdown:
The following table details each card's 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 burn); 25% sanity loss (red burn) | 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 for the nearest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates an extended 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 items spawning randomly in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer gameplay manipulation at significant risk to the player character. The choice to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless custom settings are modified). Each object has a fixed spawn location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
