In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, Cursed Possessions offer a tempting blend of risk and reward, and the Tarot Cards are a prime example. If you're feeling a bit hesitant about using them, this guide will walk you through the process.
Tarot Cards are among the riskiest Cursed Possessions in *Phasmophobia*, but they also offer potentially significant advantages. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This allows for a quick escape if you draw an unfavorable card, like Death.
Each card has a unique, immediate effect. However, there's a chance you'll draw The Fool (similar to a Joker), resulting in no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards without impacting your sanity. Duplicate cards will have the same effect as the original.
Ten distinct cards are possible:
Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
---|---|---|
The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
The Wheel of Fortune | Gains 25% sanity (green burn); loses 25% sanity (red burn) | 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 Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer); further card draws have no effect during the hunt | 10% |
The High Priestess | Instantly revives a downed teammate | 2% |
The Hanged Man | Instantly kills the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions, or Cursed Objects, are unique items that randomly appear on contract maps (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, which aids in ghost identification with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer gameplay manipulation at a higher risk to your character. The risk-reward balance varies between objects.
There's no penalty for not using them, but also no bonus for doing so. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in the same location. Examples include the Voodoo Doll (always 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.
