Phasmophobia: Mastering Tarot Card Use

In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, Cursed Possessions offer both exciting rewards and perilous risks. Tarot Cards are a prime example, their potential benefits overshadowed by the unpredictable nature of their effects. This guide will illuminate how to use them effectively.

How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

Tarot Cards present a high-risk, high-reward proposition in Phasmophobia. Their powerful effects are balanced by the chance of drawing a detrimental card. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, providing an escape route if a dangerous card is drawn, like Death.

Each card instantly activates upon use, revealing its unique effect. However, there's a chance of drawing The Fool, a wildcard that produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity loss, and duplicates yield the same effect.

Ten distinct cards exist within the deck:

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 card draws are ineffective during the hunt	10%
The High Priestess	Instantly revives a downed teammate	2%
The Hanged Man	Instantly kills the user	1%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, or Cursed Objects, are unique items randomly spawning in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, which aids in ghost identification with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer powerful manipulation at significantly higher risk. Their use is entirely optional; no penalty exists for ignoring them.

Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless adjusted in Custom settings), each appearing in a fixed location. For example, the Voodoo Doll always spawns in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
