The *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling and terrifying experience that pushes players to their limits. To emerge victorious from this daunting task, follow our guide and use our tips and tricks to ensure your survival.
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*, stripping players of crucial tools and sanity. The challenge requires you to correctly identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a location notorious for its tight spaces and limited visibility, making ghost evasion and tracking particularly challenging.
Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, be aware that traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are unavailable. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model to identify it.
Use the Parabolic Microphone to listen for the distinct screams of a Banshee or the frequent sounds of a Myling. Placing Salt on the floor can help you identify a Wraith, and lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onyro. If you struggle with identification, consult our comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors.
The challenge starts with almost no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you understand the ghost's behavior despite the lack of evidence. Remember, the ghost's favorite room will remain constant, despite its ability to roam.
Most doors will be partially open, complicating the ghost's location detection. However, the functional and initially on fuse box is a rare advantage. Utilize all nine hiding spots available at 42 Edgefield Road for safety during hunts.
The only Cursed Possession provided is the **Monkey Paw**, which can be used to "wish for knowledge." This will burn out incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, aiding in identification, but it comes with a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a decoy.
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 select the Difficulty tab above your character ID.
