"Mastering Phasmophobia's Survival Challenge: Weekly Tips"

The *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most terrifying experiences you can encounter in the game. Here's how you can survive and come out on top.

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* to date. It strips players of their usual tools and sanity, forcing them to identify the ghost purely based on its behavior. You'll need to tackle this challenge at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic house-style map that can make ghost tracking and evasion tricky due to its narrow hallways and blind corners.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, remember that you won't have access to traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books or DOTS Projectors. Your equipment loadout will be limited, pushing you to rely on the ghost's unique behaviors and traits to identify it.

Utilize tools like the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, or use Salt to identify a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in succession can reveal an Onryo. If you're struggling, refer to a No Evidence ghost behavior cheat sheet to help you guess the ghost's identity more accurately.

You'll start the challenge with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. With no way to restore sanity, even with the provided Sanity Medications, you'll need to be on high alert. The ghost will exhibit high activity and frequent events, which, despite being scary, can aid in understanding its behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room won't change, providing a consistent clue.

Most doors will be partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, offering a rare advantage. You'll have access to all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road, giving you ample opportunities to hide during hunts.

The only Cursed Possession provided is the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, narrowing down your options. However, this wish comes at a high cost, blinding and deafening you and triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. It's best used in groups where one player can act as a sacrifice without endangering the entire investigation.
