Mar 29,25(4 months ago)

Cursed Possessions in *Phasmophobia* can be a double-edged sword, offering significant rewards at the cost of potential risks. Among these, Tarot Cards stand out as one of the most thrilling yet dangerous items to use. If you're curious about how to harness their power, here's a comprehensive guide on using Tarot Cards effectively.

Tarot Cards are among the riskiest Cursed Possessions in *Phasmophobia*, yet they can provide some of the most potent benefits if luck is on your side. When you encounter Tarot Cards during your investigation, it's wise to use them in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This precaution is crucial because drawing a dangerous card like Death could trigger a Cursed Hunt, and being near an escape route can be a lifesaver.

Each Tarot Card has a unique effect that activates immediately upon drawing. However, you might draw The Fool, which acts like a Joker and has no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards from the deck without any sanity drain, and duplicates are possible, each with the same effect.

Here's a detailed look at the 10 different Tarot Cards you might encounter:

Tarot CardEffectDraw Chance
The TowerDoubles ghost activity for 20 seconds20%
The Wheel of FortuneThe user gains 25% sanity if the card burns green; loses 25% sanity if the card burns red20%
The HermitForces the ghost back into its favorite room and traps it inside for 1 minute (cannot override hunts or events)10%
The SunFully restores the user’s sanity to 100%5%
The MoonCompletely drains the user’s sanity to 0%5%
The FoolMimics another card before turning into The Fool; burns away and no effects happen17%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, often referred to as "Cursed Objects," are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that appear randomly on any contract map, influenced by difficulty settings or if you're in Challenge Mode. Unlike regular equipment, which helps you locate the ghost and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate the ghost but come with significantly higher risks.

The safety of using these objects varies based on their abilities, and it's up to you and your team to decide whether to engage with them. There's no penalty for avoiding them, nor is there a direct reward for using them. Only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract, unless modified in Custom settings, and each type has a fixed spawn location. For instance, the Voodoo Doll always appears in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive.

The game features seven different Cursed Objects:

  • Haunted Mirror
  • Voodoo Doll
  • Music Box
  • Tarot Cards
  • Ouija Board
  • Monkey Paw
  • Summoning Circle

This guide covers how to use Tarot Cards in *Phasmophobia*. For more insights and the latest updates on the game, including how to unlock all achievements and trophies, be sure to check out The Escapist.
