Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Survive the Fittest

*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling yet terrifying experience that tests your ghost-hunting skills to the limit. Here's how you can survive and thrive in this daunting challenge.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is renowned for its difficulty, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity protection. The challenge requires you to correctly identify the ghost's type without any usual aids. You'll be tackling this at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic house-style map that complicates ghost tracking and evasion.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, remember that traditional evidence collection is off the table. Your provided equipment lacks standard tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors, and even Video Cameras are absent.

To identify the ghost, focus on its unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model. Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help detect specific ghost sounds, while Salt can reveal a Wraith's presence. Lighting three Firelights in a row might expose an Onyro.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications you receive. The ghost will exhibit high activity throughout, with frequent events that can aid in understanding its behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam. Most doors start partially open, making location detection challenging, but the fuse box is functional and starts on. All nine hiding spots are available at 42 Edgefield Road, providing ample opportunities to hide during hunts.

You're equipped with one Cursed Possession, the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidences and ghost types from your Journal, but at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy is more suitable for groups where one player can act as a sacrifice without compromising the investigation.
