Tarot Card Basics

During Phasmophobia contracts Tarot Cards have a 1 in 7 chance of being the cursed possession during that contract. They will have one specific spawn location on each unique map. There are 10 cards that can be drawn.

You can receive multiple of the same card type in one deck, such as drawing The Sun twice. Different card types will have different and independent chances of being drawn. The Hanged Man being the lowest.

Once all 10 Tarot Cards have been used there will be no more to use or any more given. When all the Tarot Cards have been used all hunts that occur in the future will be extended by 20 seconds, even if no Tarot Cards that cause hunts are drawn.

Each Tarot Card will have a unique effect on either the player or the ghost. The card once used will burn up and disappear leaving a colored flame that will be dependent on the card type. You can only draw the cards within the investigation area for them to be used and work. There is a method that can be used to use Tarot Cards outside of the investigation area, but this is not an intended feature. To do this stand at an Exit Door enter the door and quickly leave while drawing a card in the process. This will make the card take effect and will still use up 1 card. If the card you draw is the Death card, then the hunt that would be caused from that card will not occur. Note that the Hanged Man card will still take effect regardless of where the player that used the card is.

How To Use Tarot Cards

Once the Tarot Cards have been located pick them up using your pick up key-bind(E) once in hand you can draw one card by pressing right mouse click. Repeat until all cards have been used.

It is recommended to use one card at a time and analyse what is occurring as you may potentially make contracts more difficult, if not dangerous. E.g, Pulling a card that starts a hunt.

The Sun

This Tarot Card will restore the players sanity to 100%. Higher sanity will prevent the frequency of ghost events, hunts and flickering lights. When drawn this card will burn yellow before the effect applies. This chance of drawing this card is 5%.

When drawn this card will burn white before the effect applies. The chance of this card being drawn is 5%.

The Wheel of Fortune

This Tarot Card will either give the player + 25% sanity if the card burns green, or will take 25% sanity if the card burns red. Having lower sanity will make ghost events, hunts and flickering lights more common while having higher sanity will reduce the frequency of ghost events, hunts and flickering lights. The chance of drawing this card is 20%.

Extra Tips

During hunts you should not draw any extra cards as all cards drawn will turn into The Fool which makes them all have no effect. You can take a picture of the Tarot Cards for extra money. It is recommended you do this before as the deck will disappear once they have all been used.

The Tower card affects D.O.T.S projectors, ghost writing books, and doors making evidence easier to gather.

I believe that might be a bug. I've personally never experienced that

Cosmic 23 May, 2023 @ 4:02am

Also! Sometimes when you pick up the cards, you start to notice that your movement isn't 100% right. when you move forward you could walk sideways or backwards, same as with other directions lol. Me and my brother had this event just by picking up the cards. It felt like we where drunk or that it was some kind of bug (don't know yet tbh xD).
