The player can find different types of tarot cards throughout the The Quarry. These are cards once used in the late 18th century for divination and fortune-telling, they can be found in seemingly innocuous locations within the game. Upon discovering a tarot card, at the end of that chapter you will later be invited by Eliza to see a possible future you may encounter. Each tarot card suit loosely represents the premonition it reveals. For example, The Hanged Man shows a future wherein Jacob is caught in a trap and hung upside down.
Collecting all the tarot cards will earn the player the Decked Out Trophy/Achievement.
The Quarry[]
There are twenty-two tarot cards (Major Arcana) that can be found in The Quarry.
The Fool[]
| “ | The Fool... I wonder who this is? We all know a fool when we see one. Don't we? Innocence and freedom? Or recklessness and risk-taking? Spontaneity... Actions without thought, but the consequences to match. Think. Think and don't get burnt. | ” |
Found in The Prologue, it shows Jacob sabotaging the van by uncoupling the fuel line, causing the minivan to go up in flames.

— If Laura, Ryan, and Travis did go to hunt down Silas
|
| “ | Judgement. Judgement day is upon us! That's what you'd expect from this card, isn't it? Though perhaps in this case it's simpler than that.

- The High Priestess is the only tarot card that does not provide a vision.
- The tarot cards are similar to the totems from Until Dawn and the pictures from The Dark Pictures Anthology since all these collectibles show future premonitions.
