"Survive Phasmophobia's Fittest Challenge: Weekly Tips"

Embarking on *Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge can be an intensely chilling experience. This guide will help you navigate the challenge and emerge victorious.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia*, stripping players of their usual tools and protections. You'll need to identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house with a layout that complicates ghost tracking and evasion due to its narrow corridors and blind corners.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving, you'll find yourself without traditional evidence-gathering equipment like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors, not even Video Cameras for additional angles. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement speed, and ghost model to make your identification.

Utilize the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, such as the screams of a Banshee or the noises of a Myling. Salt can help identify a Wraith, while three Firelights lit in succession may reveal an Onyro. For a comprehensive guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

You'll start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications provided. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can aid in understanding the ghost's behavior. Note that while the ghost can roam, its favorite room remains constant.

Most doors start partially open, complicating location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road will be accessible.

The Monkey Paw, your only Cursed Possession, can be used to "wish for knowledge," eliminating incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, but at a high risk. This action will temporarily blind and deafen you and trigger a Cursed Hunt nearby. It's advisable to use this strategy in groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice.
