Phasmophobia: Mastering Tarot Card Use

In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, Tarot Cards represent a high-risk, high-reward Cursed Possession. This guide unravels the mysteries of using them effectively.

How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

Tarot Cards offer significant advantages, but also carry considerable danger. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, providing an escape route if you draw an unfavorable card like Death.

Each card instantly activates upon use, revealing its unique effect. However, there's a chance of drawing The Fool, a wildcard resulting in no effect. You can draw up to 10 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 (excluding hunts/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 20-second longer Cursed Hunt; further draws during the hunt have no effect	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, or Cursed Objects, are unique items randomly spawning on any map (depending on difficulty/Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, these items offer powerful ghost manipulation at significant risk. Their use is entirely optional; no penalties exist for ignoring them. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Objects exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
