Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia offer significant advantages but come with considerable risk. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, using Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, like Death, is drawn.
Each card activates immediately upon selection. The Fool acts as a wildcard, producing no effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Effects and Probabilities
The following table outlines 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 (excludes hunts and events) | 10% |
The Sun | Restores sanity to 100% | 5% |
The Moon | Drains sanity to 0% | 5% |
The Fool | Mimics another card before becoming 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 | Instantly revives a fallen teammate | 2% |
The Hanged Man | Instantly kills the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions are high-risk, high-reward items that provide shortcuts to manipulating the ghost. They spawn randomly on maps, depending on difficulty and game mode. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Examples include the Voodoo Doll and Ouija Board. Using them is optional; there’s no penalty for ignoring them.
Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. This guide focuses specifically on Tarot Cards. For further Phasmophobia guides and news, including achievements, consult The Escapist.
