Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Survive the Fittest

If you're brave enough to tackle *Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge, prepare yourself for a terrifying experience. Here's your guide to surviving and thriving through this daunting task.

How to Complete the Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is one of the most challenging tasks in *Phasmophobia* to date, as it strips players of crucial resources. You'll need to identify the ghost without relying on traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity. The setting for this challenge is **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map notorious for its narrow hallways and claustrophobic design, making ghost evasion and tracking more complex.

Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

When you arrive at 42 Edgefield Road, remember that you won't have access to standard evidence-gathering tools such as Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors, nor will you have Video Cameras for additional surveillance. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model to identify it.

For instance, use the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, such as a Banshee's scream or a Myling's frequent noises. Use Salt on the floor to confirm if you're dealing with a Wraith, and light three Firelights in a row to possibly reveal an Onyro. If you're struggling, refer to a comprehensive cheat sheet of No Evidence ghost behaviors to enhance your chances of success.

You begin with **no setup time** (technically five seconds) and **zero sanity**, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the two Sanity Medications provided. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which, while terrifying, can aid in understanding the ghost's behavior. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.

Most doors start partially open, complicating location detection. However, the **fuse box will be functional and start on**, a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available, offering ample refuge during hunts.

For this challenge, you're given the **Monkey Paw** as your Cursed Possession. Using it to **“wish for knowledge”** can eliminate incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, though at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy is best suited for groups, allowing one player to act as a sacrifice without endangering the entire investigation.

How to Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To access Challenge Mode, navigate to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then select the Difficulty tab above your character ID. Scroll to find Challenge Mode and select ‘Apply’. Remember to manually select 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board, as the Challenge Mode doesn't automatically choose it.

To earn the full reward of $5,000, you must complete the same investigation three times, correctly identifying the ghost each time.
