If you're diving into *Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge, buckle up for one of the game's most spine-chilling experiences. Here's how you can emerge victorious from this daunting task.
How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
Survival of the Fittest is one of the toughest challenges *Phasmophobia* has thrown at players yet, stripping away crucial tools and protections. Your mission is to correctly identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road** without traditional evidence or the safeguard of sanity. This house, with its tight corridors and blind spots, can make tracking and evading the ghost particularly tricky.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon arriving, remember you won't have access to standard evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model. Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help identify specific ghost screams, while Salt can reveal if you're dealing with a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in succession might expose an Onyro. If you're struggling, refer to our comprehensive No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.
You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which, while terrifying, can aid in identifying the ghost. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, and the fuse box starts on, offering a slight advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.
You're equipped with the Monkey Paw as your sole Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, aiding your guesswork. However, this wish comes at a high cost, blinding and deafening you and triggering a Cursed Hunt. We recommend this strategy for groups where one player can act as a sacrificial distraction.
How to Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia
To access Challenge Mode, head to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose either Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then navigate to the Difficulty tab.
