Diving into *Phasmophobia*‘s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is an adrenaline-pumping experience that tests your ghost-hunting skills to the limit. Here's your ultimate guide to surviving and thriving in this terrifying ordeal.
How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Survival of the Fittest challenge pushes players into the heart of 42 Edgefield Road, a claustrophobic setting that heightens the horror. You're tasked with identifying the ghost without traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity. The challenge begins with almost no setup time and zero sanity, making you an immediate target for ghost hunts.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, you'll notice your equipment is severely limited, stripping you of tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors. You'll need to rely on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and sounds, to deduce its identity. Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help detect specific ghost noises, while Salt can reveal Wraiths, and Firelights might expose an Onyro.

With no way to restore sanity and frequent ghost activity, you'll be on high alert throughout. Keep in mind that while the ghost can roam, its favorite room remains constant, aiding in your investigation. The functional fuse box and all nine hiding spots are crucial for your survival during hunts.

The Monkey Paw, your only Cursed Possession, can be a double-edged sword. Using it to "wish for knowledge" burns out incorrect evidence in your Journal, narrowing down your ghost options, but at the cost of starting a Cursed Hunt and temporarily impairing your senses. This tactic is best used in a group where one player can act as a decoy.
