Demonologist is a cooperative horror game for one to four players, where the goal is to identify and exorcise evil spirits in cursed locations. Players can encounter random events and ghosts, invite others to their safe house, and select paranormal places to investigate. One of the essential elements in the game is tarot cards, which possess magical powers and can be found throughout the various locations. This guide will explain the known tarot cards and their effects on gameplay.

Demonologist Tarot Cards List

Tarot cards are powerful items that can be discovered during investigations. They are often found on tables or kitchen countertops, so keep an eye out as you explore.

Here’s a list of the known Tarot Cards and their effects:

  1. Death – This card has a high chance (around 75%) of causing a ghost hunt, putting players in danger.
  2. Flames of Fate – Players have reported varying effects, such as slight increases or decreases in sanity depending on the color of the flame. However, the precise mechanics are still unclear.
  3. Slave – This card is believed to trap the ghost in the room it’s currently interacting with, although it may not always work as expected.
  4. The Angel – This powerful card can resurrect a deceased teammate, but it may sometimes cause bugs for the revived player.
  5. The Devil – This card has a high chance of causing a ghost interaction but is unlikely to initiate a hunt. Ghost interactions may include moving objects or creating events in the area.
  6. The Guillotine – This card instantly kills the player who draws it.
  7. The Moon – In contrast to The Sun, The Moon card greatly decreases a player’s sanity, making them more susceptible to ghost attacks.
  8. The Sun – Drawing this card will significantly increase a player’s sanity, helping to reduce the frequency of ghost attacks.
  9. The Void – This card has the potential to do nothing, or it may delete an item the player is holding, excluding the deck.

Maintaining Sanity

Sanity is an essential factor in Demonologist, as it measures how often ghosts can attack players. To check your sanity, visit the camp and examine the sanity meter displayed beneath the brain scan images. To maintain sanity, turn on lights, stay in well-lit areas, use candles, and utilize tripod cameras for remote evidence gathering. To restore sanity, use sanity pills from the loadout, but be aware that the restoration percentage varies by difficulty level.

Tarot cards are a crucial aspect of Demonologist, impacting various aspects of gameplay, from sanity levels to ghost interactions. Keep an eye out for these mystical items and harness their power to your advantage.
