If you're brave enough to take on one of the scariest challenges in *Phasmophobia*, the Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is where you'll prove your mettle. Here's how you can survive and conquer this daunting task.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Survival of the Fittest challenge is notorious for its difficulty, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity protection. The goal is to correctly identify the ghost's type at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic house-style map that complicates ghost tracking and evasion due to its narrow corridors and blind spots.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, remember you won't have access to standard evidence-gathering tools such as Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behavior traits, like its movement speed and model. Use the provided tools like the Parabolic Microphone to detect distinct sounds from ghosts like the Banshee or Myling. Salt can help identify a Wraith, and lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onryo. For a comprehensive guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet. You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications provided. The ghost will be highly active, with frequent events, which can aid in observing its behavior. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, and while most doors are partially open, the fuse box is functional and starts on, providing a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots are available for safety during hunts. The challenge provides a single Cursed Possession, the Monkey Paw. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect ghost types and evidences in your Journal, although it comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, and a triggered Cursed Hunt. This strategy works best with a group, where one can act as a sacrificial player.
