Survive Phasmophobia's Fittest Challenge: Weekly Tips

*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most terrifying experiences the game offers. Here's how you can survive and thrive in this intense challenge.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the most challenging tasks in *Phasmophobia* due to the severe limitations it imposes on players. You are tasked with identifying the ghost without any traditional evidence or sanity protection, making it a true test of skill and nerve.

This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map known for its narrow corridors and claustrophobic design, which can complicate tracking and evading the ghost.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arrival, remember that traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are unavailable. Your equipment loadout will force you to rely on alternative methods to identify the ghost.

Focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model. Utilize tools like the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, or use Salt to check for Wraith interactions. Lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onyro. For a comprehensive guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

You begin with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help identify ghost behaviors despite the lack of evidence. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, aiding in your investigation.

Most doors start partially open, complicating location detection. However, the functional fuse box is a boon. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available, offering ample places to hide during hunts.

The Monkey Paw, your sole Cursed Possession, can be used to "wish for knowledge," eliminating incorrect ghost types and evidence in your Journal. This is risky, especially solo, as it will blind and deafen you and trigger a Cursed Hunt nearby. It's best used in groups where one player can act as a sacrifice.

To access Challenge Mode, go to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then navigate to the Difficulty tab. Scroll to find Challenge Mode, select 'Apply,' and then choose 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board.
