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 and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their unpredictable nature, it's advisable to use Tarot Cards in a safe zone, such as near a hiding spot or the map's entrance. This precaution minimizes the risk associated with negative card draws, like the dreaded Death card.
Card Mechanics
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, there's a chance of drawing "The Fool," a wildcard resulting in no effect. Up to ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Breakdown
The game features ten unique Tarot Cards, each with distinct 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 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 items found randomly in Phasmophobia contracts. Unlike standard equipment, they offer powerful ghost manipulation but pose significant danger to players. Their use is entirely optional. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Possessions exist in the game.
