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 benefits but carry significant risks. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, allowing for a quick escape if you draw an unfavorable card like Death.
Each card has a unique, immediate effect. However, The Fool card (like a Joker) produces no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without sanity loss, and duplicates have the same effect.
Ten different cards exist:
| 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; no effect | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Triggers a 20-second-longer Cursed Hunt; further draws during the hunt have no effect | 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 items spawning randomly on any map (depending on difficulty/Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, they manipulate the ghost at considerable risk. Their use is optional; no penalty exists for ignoring them. Only one spawns per contract (unless customized). Each type has a fixed spawn location (e.g., the Voodoo Doll always spawns in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive).
Seven Cursed Objects exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
