How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia
Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward proposition during ghost investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.
Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their unpredictable nature, it's advisable to use Tarot Cards in a safe zone, such as near a hiding spot or the map entrance. This precaution minimizes the risk associated with negative card effects, such as the dreaded Death card.
Card Mechanics
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, a "Fool" card (similar to a Joker) may appear, resulting in no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table details each card's effect and its probability of being drawn:
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 (excludes hunts/events) | 10% |
The Sun | Full sanity restoration | 5% |
The Moon | Complete sanity drain | 5% |
The Fool | Mimics another card before becoming inert | 17% |
The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
Death | Triggers an extended cursed hunt | 10% |
The High Priestess | Instant teammate revival | 2% |
The Hanged Man | Instant player death | 1% |
Understanding Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia
Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering potential advantages but at significant risk to player characters. They act as modifiers, altering ghost behavior, unlike standard equipment which primarily aids in evidence gathering. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in custom settings). Their locations are fixed. There are seven in total: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. Using them is optional; no penalty exists for ignoring them.
