How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, Cursed Possessions offer a double-edged sword: significant rewards, but equally substantial risks. Tarot Cards are a prime example of this high-stakes gamble. If you're hesitant about using them, this guide will walk you through their mechanics.

How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

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

For safety, use the Tarot Cards 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 activates immediately upon use, unleashing its unique 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 unique 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 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; no effect	17%
The Devil	Triggers a ghost event for the nearest player	10%
Death	Triggers a Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer); further draws are blocked 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 helps locate and identify ghosts with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer powerful ghost manipulation, but at a significantly higher risk to your character. The risk-reward ratio varies between objects. There's no penalty for avoiding them, nor any bonus for using them.

Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless customized), always in a predetermined location. For example, the Voodoo Doll always spawns 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.
