Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Survive the Fittest

The *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most intense and terrifying experiences the game offers. Here’s a detailed guide to help you survive and conquer this daunting task.

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* due to the lack of traditional evidence and sanity protection. The challenge requires you to correctly identify the ghost type at **42 Edgefield Road**, a location known for its narrow hallways and claustrophobic layout, making ghost tracking and evasion particularly difficult.

Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several unique conditions. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are unavailable, as is the use of Video Cameras for additional angles.

Instead, focus on the ghost’s unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model. Utilize the provided tools, like the Parabolic Microphone, to identify specific ghost sounds, such as the Banshee's scream or the Myling's frequent noises. Use Salt to detect Wraiths and light three Firelights in succession to reveal an Onyro. If you need more guidance, consult 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 can help you identify the ghost. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.

Most doors start partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, which is advantageous. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road will be available for safety during hunts.

You're provided with the Monkey Paw as a Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, aiding your identification process. However, this wish comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt starting near you. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a sacrificial distraction.
