Mastering Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward scenario during ghost investigations. 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 (near a hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.
Each card's effect is immediate upon drawing. However, there's a chance of drawing "The Fool," a neutral card with no effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without sanity penalties, and duplicates yield the same effect.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table outlines the ten possible cards, their effects, and respective 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 | Initiates 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 spawning randomly in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of increased danger. Unlike standard equipment, they offer shortcuts but significantly increase the risk to player characters. The choice to use them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game.
