*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling yet terrifying experience that pushes your ghost-hunting skills to the limit. Here's your guide to conquering this daunting task and emerging victorious.
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 restrictions it imposes on players. You'll need to identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road** without relying on traditional evidence or sanity, making this challenge both unique and terrifying.
The layout of 42 Edgefield Road, with its narrow hallways and blind corners, adds to the difficulty of tracking and evading the ghost. Here’s how you can succeed:
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several unique challenges. Traditional evidence-gathering tools are unavailable, leaving you without Ghost Writing Books, DOTS Projectors, or even Video Cameras. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement patterns, and visual cues.
Utilize the provided equipment wisely:
- The Parabolic Microphone can help identify specific ghost sounds like the Banshee's scream or the Myling's frequent noises.
- Use Salt to detect a Wraith's presence.
- Light three Firelights in succession to possibly reveal an Onyro.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, so prepare for a highly intense investigation. Despite the lack of evidence tools, the ghost will exhibit high activity, making its behavior more noticeable. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, which can aid in your investigation.
Most doors will be partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the functional fuse box and available hiding spots (nine in total) can be advantageous.
The challenge provides a Monkey Paw as the Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, increasing your chances of correctly identifying the ghost. However, this comes at the cost of temporary blindness and deafness, triggering a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best used in a group where one player can act as a sacrifice.
