This guide will help you to obtain all Tarot cards for the 'Full Deck" achievement. It will also show you where/how to find them and what strategies to use.
 

Introduction

First and foremost This guide will not contain any spoilers. Proceed at your own risk.
 
 

What are Tarot cards?

 
 

 
Tarot Cards are temporary boons and buffs that can be found on Crusades and last for the duration of their use. You can find them randomly in chests and from Clauneck. There you will be offered two cards and choose one to use.
 
The effects of Tarot cards can be stacked, but you cannot get the same card twice per Crusade.
 
 

Tarot Cards – Shiny and Rainbow

 
Rarely will you find a tarot card with a 'rainbow or shine' card. These cards are stronger versions of the base card. You may not get a chance to see a tarot card that is'shiny or 'rainbow'.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Shiny cards have a glossy/white appearance and are identified by a green name and + next to the card’s name. They are the second-strongest card (ie. If you found Ambrosia as an'shiny card', it would increase damage 1.5x instead of 1.25x.)
 
 
The 'Rainbow" cards have a rainbow/holographic effect. They are identified by a purple name followed by ++ next the card's title. They are the strongest card (ie. If you found Ambrosia in a 'rainbow card', it would increase damage by 1.75x instead of 1.25x.)
 
 

Unlock Tarot Cards

 
You will have only 15/36 tarot card cards unlocked at the beginning of the game. Unlocked cards are part the Crusades pool. This means that if a card is not unlocked, it will not be drawn from chests/Claunek during Crusades. While most cards can be unlocked by buying them for coins or beating NPCs in Knucklebones to unlock them, there are a few cards which are only unlocked through certain events.
