How To Complete Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia – Weekly Challenge

Embarking on the *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling yet daunting task for any ghost hunter. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this terrifying ordeal and emerge victorious.

How to Complete the Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Survival of the Fittest challenge is renowned for its difficulty, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity. You'll need to tackle this challenge at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house known for its tight spaces and challenging layout, which can make ghost encounters more intense.

Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you’ll find your equipment limited. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are absent, leaving you without Video Cameras for additional viewpoints.

Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors. Utilize tools like the Parabolic Microphone to pick up distinctive sounds, such as a Banshee's scream or a Myling's frequent noises. Use Salt to detect a Wraith, and light three Firelights in a row to possibly reveal an Onyro. For a comprehensive guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

Starting with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, you're immediately vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications, so tread carefully. The ghost will exhibit high activity, and its favorite room remains constant, aiding your investigation despite the frequent events and roaming.

Most doors will be partially open, complicating location detection, but the fuse box will be functional and on, a rare advantage. You'll have access to all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road, crucial for surviving hunts.

The Monkey Paw, your sole Cursed Possession for this challenge, can be used to "wish for knowledge." This will eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, improving your chances of correctly identifying the ghost. However, this wish comes at a high cost—temporary blindness and deafness, triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy works best with a group 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 go to the Difficulty tab above your character ID. Scroll to find Challenge Mode, apply it, and manually select 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board. Remember, to earn the full $5,000 reward, you must complete the investigation three times, correctly identifying the ghost each time.
