Survive Phasmophobia's Fittest Challenge: Weekly Tips

The *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling and terrifying experience that tests your ghost-hunting skills to the limit. Here’s a detailed guide on how to conquer this challenging task and emerge victorious.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is renowned as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* because it strips away much of what you rely on during standard investigations. You must identify the ghost without traditional evidence or the safety of sanity at **42 Edgefield Road**, a map notorious for its tight spaces and tricky layout, which can make ghost tracking and evasion particularly challenging.

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 like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost’s unique behaviors, such as its movement speed, ghost model, and specific traits. Utilize the provided equipment effectively:

• Use the Parabolic Microphone to listen for unique ghost sounds like the Banshee’s scream or the Myling’s frequent noises.
• Place Salt on the floor to check for Wraith activity.
• Light three Firelights in a row to possibly reveal an Onyro.

If you struggle with identification, refer to a detailed cheat sheet of ghost behaviors without evidence.

You begin the challenge with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you highly susceptible to ghost hunts right from the start. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. The ghost will exhibit high activity, and frequent events will occur, which can be terrifying but helpful in understanding ghost behavior. Note that while the ghost can roam, its favorite room remains constant.

Most doors will be partially open, complicating the ghost's location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, which is a rare advantage. You'll have access to all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road for safety during hunts.

You're provided with one Cursed Possession: the Monkey Paw. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, aiding in your guesswork. However, this comes at a high cost: you'll be blinded and deafened, and a Cursed Hunt will start near you. This strategy is best 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 either Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then go to the Difficulty tab above your character ID. Scroll to find Challenge Mode, select ‘Apply’, and then choose 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board. Remember, to earn the full $5,000 reward, you must complete the challenge three times, successfully identifying the ghost each time.
