"Survive Phasmophobia's Fittest Challenge: Weekly Tips"

*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge pushes players to their limits, offering a terrifying yet exhilarating experience. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you conquer this daunting challenge and emerge victorious.

How to Complete the Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is one of the most challenging tasks in *Phasmophobia* due to the lack of traditional evidence and the immediate vulnerability it imposes on players. The challenge must be undertaken at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map known for its narrow corridors and claustrophobic layout, which complicates tracking and evading the ghost.

Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face specific challenges. Notably, you won't have access to standard evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books or DOTS Projectors, nor will you have Video Cameras. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and distinct sounds, to identify it.

Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help detect specific ghost sounds, while Salt can reveal if you're dealing with a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in a row may expose an Onyro. If you're struggling, consult our cheat sheet of No Evidence ghost behaviors.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications provided. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you discern the ghost's behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, though most doors start partially open, complicating location detection. The fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots in 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.

You'll have one Cursed Possession: the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect ghost types and evidence from your Journal, aiding in your guesswork. However, this comes at a high cost—temporary blindness and deafness, triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy is best for groups, where one player can act as a decoy.
