As part of its Christmas update, multiplayer co-op horror game Phasmophobia introduced Tarot Cards and five other cursed items to aid players in their missions. These items can seem quite appealing for those who find them, but players should be aware of the potentially deadly risks involved with using them. Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia can provide players with valuable evidence of paranormal activity, but it doesn’t always do so harmlessly. Tarot Cards, in particular, can result in many different outcomes when used, depending on the card that is drawn, which is why players may want to know more about the deck before choosing to use it.

As players attempt to figure identify ghosts in Phasmophobia, they will be expected to gather clues using ghost hunting equipment like the new DOTS Projector or the EMF Reader. After obtaining enough information, the true nature of the ghost can be assessed, and players will complete the mission and receive money and experience. If used correctly, the new cursed items can be valuable tools to help players complete contracts and other optional goals that may increase the value of their reward.

During each Phasmophobia mission, one of the six cursed items will appear in one of several specific spawn points on the map. The Tarot Cards may spawn in one of several locations, or not at all if another cursed item spawned instead, as only one cursed item will ever appear per contract. This means that looking for cursed items like Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia can be difficult, as players never know exactly what to look for until they find it. Players searching for the Tarot Cards should look in specific spawn points and try to spot an object about the size of a modern mobile phone with white and black swirls that resemble faces.

Every Tarot Card Spawn Point in Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia Tarot cards Tower

A deck of Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia contains 10 cards, and, after all of them are drawn, the item will disappear and become unusable. Although there are also 10 types of cards that players can draw, every card pulled from the deck will be random. This means that a deck of Tarot Cards is unlikely to possess one of each, so it will likely require several games for players to see all possible effects. This cursed possession is by far the riskiest, as the effects of a drawn card will be impossible to predict and might end up causing a Phasmophobia ghost hunting phase, or worse.

These are the 10 possible cards that players can draw from the Tarot Deck:

  • The Sun: 5% chance; fully restores sanity.
  • The Moon: 5% chance; drops sanity to zero.
  • The Tower: 17% chance; causes a ghost interaction.
  • The Wheel of Fortune: 17% chance; increases or decreases sanity by 25%.
  • The Devil: 5% chance; triggers a ghost event.
  • The High Priestess: 2% chance; resurrects a random dead teammate near their corpse.
  • The Hanged Man: 1% chance; instantly kills the player.
  • Death: 17% chance; triggers a cursed hunt, which can't be stopped or prevented with a Crucifix or other equipment.
  • The Hermit: 10% chance; traps the ghost in its room for a short while.
  • The Fool: 17% chance, or 100% during haunts; mimics the look of another card before turning into The Fool and applying no effects.
