In *Phasmophobia*, Tarot Cards are a high-risk, high-reward Cursed Possession. This guide explains how to use them effectively.
How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia
Tarot Cards offer powerful effects but carry significant risk. For safety, use them in a secure location, like near a hiding spot or the entrance, providing an escape route if you draw a dangerous card like Death.
Each card has a unique, immediate effect. However, The Fool card (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without sanity loss, and duplicates have the same effect.
Ten cards are possible:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | Gains 25% sanity (green flame); loses 25% sanity (red flame) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (doesn't affect hunts or events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Fully restores sanity to 100% | 5% |
| The Moon | Completely drains sanity to 0% | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before becoming The Fool; burns with no effect | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event for the nearest player | 10% |
| Death | Triggers a 20-second longer Cursed Hunt; further draws during the hunt are impossible. | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instantly revives a dead teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instantly kills the user | 1% |
What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?
Cursed Possessions are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering powerful effects but posing considerable danger to your character. Unlike standard equipment, they manipulate the ghost but at a cost. The choice of using them is yours; there's no penalty for avoiding them. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Objects exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
