How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia
Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia represent a high-risk, high-reward Cursed Possession. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.

Strategic Use: Due to the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe zone (near a hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, like Death, is drawn.
Card Mechanics: Each card produces an immediate effect. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) negates any effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without sanity loss, and duplicates yield identical effects.
Card Effects and Draw Probabilities:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | 25% sanity gain (green flame); 25% sanity loss (red flame) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity drain (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 | Initiates a prolonged Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instant revival of a deceased teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions Overview:

Cursed Possessions, or Cursed Objects, are high-risk items offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of player safety. They spawn randomly on contract maps (depending on difficulty and game mode). Only one spawns per contract (unless customized). Each has a fixed spawn location. Examples include: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. Their use is entirely optional.
