How to Obtain all Tarot Cards (+ DLC Cards)

This guide will show you how to obtain all Tarot Cards for the 'Full Deck' achievement, including where/how to get them and strategies to do so. NOW INCLUDES DLC CARDS!

Introduction

First and foremost, this guide will contain unmarked spoilers, so proceed at your own risk.

What are Tarot Cards?

Tarot Cards are temporary buffs and boons found on Crusades, and last for the duration of the Crusade they are received on. They can be found randomly in chests or from Clauneck, where you will be given an choice of two cards and can pick one to use.
Tarot cards' effects can stack, however, you cannot obtain the same card more than once per Crusade.

'Shiny' and 'Rainbow' Tarot Cards

Very rarely, you will find a 'shiny' or 'rainbow' tarot card; these are more powerful versions of the base card. Not all tarot cards have a chance to be 'shiny' or 'rainbow', and obtaining one is random.

'Shiny' cards have a glossy/white effect and are indicated by a green name and a + next to the card's name. They are the second-strongest version of a card (ie. if you found Ambrosia as a 'shiny' card, it would increase damage by 1.5x rather than 1.25x.)

'Rainbow' cards have a rainbow/holographic effect and are indicated by a purple name and ++ next to the card's name. They are the strongest version of a card (ie. if you found Ambrosia as a 'rainbow' card, it would increase damage by 1.75x rather than 1.25x.)

Unlocking Tarot Cards

At the start of the game, you will only have 15/43tarot cards unlocked. Unlocked cards are part of the pool of cards that show up on Crusades - this means that if you never unlock a card, you will never draw it from chests/Claunek while Crusading. Most cards can be unlocked by purchasing them for coins or beating NPCs at Knucklebones, though there are a few cards that are unlocked through specific events.

Cards unlocked through Knucklebones

There are 4 cards which you can earn by defeating opponents at Knucklebones. You can play Knucklebones at the Lonely Shack, which unlocks after completing Ratau's tutorials at the start of the game.

Once you've beaten Ratau at Knucklebones for the first time, you'll be able to encounter three new Knucklebones opponents (Flinky, Klunko and Bop, and Shurmy) while Crusading in Anura, Anchordeep, and the Silk Cradle, respectively.

You can only face an opponent by defeating all characters before them. This means you have to face Ratau, Flinky, Klunko and Bop, and Shurmy, in that order.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	The Hearts II	Gives a red heart container	Defeat Ratau in a game of Knucklebones at the Lonely Shack

Cards unlocked in unique ways

There are 8 cards which are obtained in unique ways. Each of these cards are detailed below.

Ambrosia - Buy from Forneus

Forneus is a cat merchant who can be found on Crusades by visiting the Shop node with a cat symbol underneath. She offers four items; one of them is the Ambrosia tarot card for 50 coin.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	Ambrosia	Increases the damage dealt by your curses by 1.25x (1.5x if +, 1.75 if++)	Buy from Forneus for 50 coins at a Shop node while Crusading

---

Fervour's Host - Gift from Helob

Helob is a spider merchant who sells followers for coin. He can be found on Crusades by visiting a Shop node with a follower symbol underneath.

After purchasing 5 followers from Helob while Crusading, you need to meet him at his shop while Crusading. There, he will give you the Fervour's Host tarot card as a gift for being a loyal customer.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	Fervour's Host	Your Fervour will replenish fully when entering a new room with enemies	Given to you by Shelob after buying 5 followers from him. Must be encountered in a dungeon to obtain card.

---

The Hearts III - Buy from Ratoo

Ratoo (no, not Ratau) is a rat who is searching for his heart. He can be found on Crusades by visiting a Heart node, where you can both heal back to full health and purchase the Hearts III tarot card for 100 coin.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	The Hearts III	Increases your max health by 2 hearts for the duration of the run	Buy from Ratoo for 100 coins at a Heart node while Crusading

---

NEW! Intangible - Buy from Monch

Monch is a moth who can increase the Loyalty of one Follower you chose by 60. He can be found on Crusades by visiting a Question Mark node. Next to his bonfire is the Intangible tarot card, which you can purchase for 150 coins.

TIP: This one may take a while to obtain, mainly because finding Monch at Question Mark nodes is fairly random. I recommend doing multiple re-runs through easier levels like Darkwood and Anura, which will make the process faster.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	Intangible	Increases your max health by 2 hearts for the duration of the run	Buy from Monch for 150 coins at a Question Mark node while Crusading

---

The Lovers II - Perform a Marriage or Fight Pit Ritual

Both these rituals are unlocked by enacting your second Law & Order doctrine. For the Marriage ritual, simply marry a follower to receive the tarot card as a bonus. For the Fight Pit ritual, you must spare the loser of the fight to receive the tarot card.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	The Lovers II	Gives 2 blue hearts	Perform either the Marriage or Fight Pit ritual

---

Neptune's Curse - Gift from the Fisherman after catching 1 fish

The Fisherman is a fish who...fishes. He can be found at Pilgrim's Passage on the lower right, standing near the water. You can play a fishing minigame there, and once you catch your first fish, he'll give you the Neptune's Curse tarot card as a show of good will.

You unlock acess to Pilgrim's Passage by finding The Fisherman randomly while Crusading in Darkwood. Note that you can only find him while at a Combat/Sword node - he will randomly appear in place of an enemy room and a small cutscene will play.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	Neptune's Curse	Enemies have a chance of dropping fish items upon death	Gift from the Fisherman after catching 1 fish

NEW! Consecrated Oil- Complete a Challenge from Ratoo

Ratoo (still not Ratau) can be found randomly on Crusades by visiting a Question Mark node, where he will challenge you to not take damage/not use dodge/not use curses for 3 enemy rooms. If you successfully complete his challenge, he will reward you with the Consecrated Oil tarot card.

TIP: This one will also take a while to obtain, because finding Ratoo at Question Mark nodes is random. I reccomend doing multiple re-runs through easier levels like Darkwood and Anura, which will not only make the process faster, but also make completing his challenge easier.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	Consecrated Oil	Charges relics 1.25x faster	Complete Ratoo's challenge from a Question Mark node while Crusading

NEW! The Collector - Buy from Chemach

Chemach is a duck who can be found randomly on Crusades, either at a Relic Node or as a room encountered while Crusading. Aside from offering a Relic, she will also have a tarot card for sale for 200 coin.

Image	Name	Effect	Unlock Requirement
	The Collector	Higher chance of relics spawning	Buy from Chemach for 200 coins at a Relic node/room while Crusading

[Joao_Silva_Kuro]

@CarryTheThrone yep, found the lil bugger and for the last card in Silk Cradle in the post game. Not sure if I'm just unlucky and they didn't show before or if post game is necessary but I doubt it. Just RNG.

[CarryTheThrone]

@Joao_Silva_Kuro I’m pretty sure you’re able to find Monch in all zones. I know I’ve found him in Darkwood and Anchordeep.

[CarryTheThrone]

To everyone asking: I am working on updating the guide to include all the new cards! I just need to find them myself first :D

[Joao_Silva_Kuro]

@cailin020 Do you know if it can spawn in any zone or is it in one specific zone?

[Moon Gooner]

for DLC update there is one secret card you can only in the crusade
it's in the question mark room where you can find an npc that can level up your followers, buy the card for 150 coin

i didnt have enough money to buy, now i'm suffering in the question mark room RNG

good luck with that

[Amtyk]

Yeah if anyone know's what the requirements are for DLC cards that would be great. I'm missing one weird card from the new content and I cannot find it.

[Jack]
