Strategic Use of Tarot Cards

Due to the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards near a safe haven (like a hiding spot or the entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.

Each card triggers an immediate effect. However, The Fool acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield the same effect.

Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities

The following table outlines the ten possible cards, their effects, and their respective draw probabilities:

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk, high-reward items randomly appearing on Phasmophobia maps (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer ghost manipulation but at significant risk to player characters. Only one spawns per contract (unless customized). Their locations are fixed. Examples include the Voodoo Doll, Music Box, and Ouija Board.
