Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario during ghost investigations. This guide provides a detailed explanation of their usage.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, employing Tarot Cards strategically is crucial. Ideally, use them in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, allowing for a quick escape if a negative card is drawn (like the Death card).
Card Mechanics
Each card triggers an immediate effect. However, there's a chance of drawing "The Fool," a null card producing no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without sanity loss; duplicates yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table details the 10 possible cards, their effects, and their 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 (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity drain (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 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 high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation but at the cost of increased danger to your character. They provide shortcuts or advantages but should be used cautiously. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in custom settings).
