Survive Phasmophobia's Fittest Challenge: Weekly Tips

*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most terrifying experiences you can have in the game. To emerge victorious, you'll need to master these strategies:

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, stripping players of their usual tools and safety nets. The challenge requires you to accurately identify the ghost at 42 Edgefield Road without relying on traditional evidence or sanity protection. This location's cramped spaces and tight corners add an extra layer of difficulty in tracking and evading the ghost.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, remember that you won't have access to standard evidence-gathering equipment like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement speed, and visible traits. Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help identify specific ghost sounds, while Salt can reveal the presence of a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in a row might expose an Onyro. If you struggle, consult our comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors.

You begin the challenge with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you an instant target for ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored despite the two Sanity Medications you're given. Expect high ghost activity throughout, with frequent events that can aid in understanding ghost behavior. The ghost's favorite room will remain constant, despite its ability to roam. While most doors will be partially open, complicating location detection, the fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road will be available for safety during hunts.

You'll have access to the Monkey Paw as your only Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types from your Journal, but at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can sacrifice themselves without derailing the investigation.

How to Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To tackle the Survival of the Fittest challenge, 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, completing the challenge three times is required to earn the full $5,000 reward, and you only need to correctly identify the ghost each time.
