Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Mastering Survival of the Fittest

Diving into *Phasmophobia*’s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling yet terrifying journey. Here's a detailed guide to help you emerge victorious from this intense ghost-hunting experience.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* to date. It strips you of traditional evidence and sanity, forcing you to rely solely on your wits to identify the ghost. This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic house-style map that complicates navigation and ghost evasion with its narrow hallways and blind corners.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

When you arrive at 42 Edgefield Road, keep these crucial tips in mind. You'll be without standard evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as its movement speed and distinct sounds.

Use the Parabolic Microphone to listen for the Banshee's unique screams or the Myling's frequent noises. Salt on the floor can help identify a Wraith, while lighting three Firelights consecutively might reveal an Onyro. If you struggle with identification, consult our comprehensive No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

Starting with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, you're immediately at risk of ghost hunts. Sanity can't be restored, even with the two Sanity Medications provided. Despite the lack of traditional evidence, the ghost will be highly active, and frequent events can help you observe its unique behaviors. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, though most doors will start partially open, making locating it trickier. Thankfully, the fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available.

The challenge provides a single Cursed Possession, the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, aiding your identification efforts. However, this wish comes at a steep cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt near you. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice without endangering the entire investigation.
