Challenge Mode in *Phasmophobia* is a thrilling weekly endeavor that presents you with a preset contract, complete with specific conditions and equipment. The mode refreshes every Sunday, bringing a fresh challenge that varies in difficulty. Some weeks, you might find the task comparable to standard investigations, while others will push your abilities to the brink by tweaking ghost behavior or limiting your gear.
To conquer a weekly challenge, you must complete the preset contract three times before the weekly reset, though not necessarily in a row. Each attempt requires you to accurately identify the ghost for it to count towards your overall challenge completion. While completing optional objectives isn't mandatory, they can boost your score, which is particularly beneficial if you're aiming to prestige your character.
Successfully finishing a weekly challenge rewards you with a base sum of $5,000, plus any additional points earned during your contracts.

The "Do As I Command" challenge might be one of the more manageable tasks in Challenge Mode due to minimal changes in ghost behavior and equipment. The challenge's goal is to "force this ghost to give you evidence," indicating that the ghost will be less active than usual. This contract must be executed on the Sunny Meadows map, and note that the "Restricted" version is off-limits.
You'll embark on this contract with a fully equipped Tier 3 loadout, provided at no cost. A significant advantage here is the functional fuse box, which you should activate immediately upon arrival to enhance your investigation.
While navigating Sunny Meadows can be challenging, especially with a quieter ghost, the "Do As I Command" challenge includes a game-changer – access to all seven Cursed Possessions. These powerful items are conveniently located in the chapel, as shown in the image below:

Tools like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can swiftly pinpoint the ghost's location, while the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw can provoke the ghost to reveal evidence. However, exercise caution; these items can deplete your sanity and trigger cursed hunts.
