How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

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 unsure about how to wield their power, this guide will walk you through it.

How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

The Tarot Cards are among the riskiest Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia, but they also offer some of the most powerful benefits—if you're lucky.

When you discover the Tarot Cards during your investigation, it's wise to use them in a safe location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This precaution allows for a quick escape if you draw an unfavorable card like Death.

Each card holds a unique ability that activates immediately upon drawing. However, there's always a chance you'll draw The Fool (similar to a Joker), resulting in no effect. You can draw up to ten cards, and doing so won't affect your sanity. You can also draw duplicates, each with the same effect.

Ten different cards can appear in 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 Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer); further card draws are prevented during the hunt	10%
The High Priestess	Instantly revives a dead teammate	2%
The Hanged Man	Instantly kills the user	1%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions (often called "Cursed Objects") are unique items that randomly appear on any contract map (depending on difficulty or Challenge Mode).

Unlike standard equipment, which helps locate and identify the ghost with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer gameplay shortcuts to manipulate the ghost, but at a significantly higher risk to your character.

The risk associated with each Cursed Object varies, leaving the decision of whether or not to use them up to you and your team. There's no penalty for not using them, nor is there a bonus for using them.

Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless changed in Custom settings), and each type always appears in the same 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.
