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 provides a detailed explanation of their usage.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is highly recommended. This precaution allows for a quicker escape should an unfavorable card, like Death, be drawn.
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. A maximum of ten cards can be drawn without impacting sanity levels. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The game features ten distinct Tarot Cards, each with a unique 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 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 depletion (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 randomly generated items in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at increased risk. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but pose significant threats to player characters. The choice of whether or not to utilize them is entirely strategic. Only one Cursed Possession appears per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game.
