Phasmophobia: Tarot Card Guide
In the thrilling world of *Phasmophobia*, Cursed Possessions offer a double-edged sword: significant rewards alongside considerable risks. Tarot Cards are a prime example, their potential benefits overshadowed by the unpredictable nature of their effects. This guide will help you navigate the complexities of using them.
How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia represent a high-risk, high-reward Cursed Possession. Their potent effects are balanced by the chance of drawing a detrimental card. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, allowing for a quick escape if a negative card is drawn, like the dreaded Death card.
Each card instantly activates upon use, revealing its unique effect. However, there's always a chance of drawing The Fool, a wildcard that produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting your sanity. Duplicate cards are possible and will have the same effect as the original.
Here's a breakdown of the ten possible Tarot Cards:
Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
---|---|---|
The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
The Wheel of Fortune | Gain 25% sanity (green flame); lose 25% sanity (red flame) | 20% |
The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (does not 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 reverting to 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 than a normal hunt); further card draws are impossible during the hunt. | 10% |
The High Priestess | Instantly revives a fallen 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 appearing on any contract map (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, which aids in ghost identification, Cursed Objects offer powerful but risky ways to manipulate the ghost. Their use is entirely optional; there’s no penalty for ignoring them.
Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. For instance, the Voodoo Doll consistently appears 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.
