How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide

Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.

Strategic Placement is Key: Due to the inherent risks, utilize Tarot Cards in a safe zone, preferably near a hiding spot or the entrance. This provides an escape route should an unfavorable card, such as Death, be drawn.

Understanding the Draw: Each card instantly activates upon use. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity penalties, and duplicates yield the same effect.

Card Effects and Probabilities: Ten unique cards exist within the deck, each with a specific effect and draw probability:

Tarot Card	Effect	Draw Chance
The Tower	Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds	20%
The Wheel of Fortune	±25% sanity (green/red burn)	20%
The Hermit	Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events)	10%
The Sun	Full sanity restoration	5%
The Moon	Complete sanity depletion	5%
The Fool	Mimics another card before nullifying effects	17%
The Devil	Triggers a ghost event near the closest 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 player death	1%

Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia: An Overview

Cursed Possessions are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of increased danger. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but significantly increase the risk to your character. The choice to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), each in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Possessions exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
