The Survival of the Fittest challenge in *Phasmophobia* is notoriously difficult, stripping players of essential tools and sanity. You'll need to identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a map notorious for its tight spaces and blind corners, which complicates ghost tracking and evasion.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arrival, remember you won't have traditional evidence-gathering equipment. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors and traits.

Use the Parabolic Microphone to listen for distinct ghost sounds, and deploy Salt to identify specific ghost types. Lighting three Firelights consecutively might reveal an Onryo. If you're struggling, consult a No Evidence ghost behavior cheat sheet for guidance.

With no setup time and zero sanity from the start, you're instantly at risk of ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, so navigate this challenge with utmost caution. Despite the lack of evidence tools, ghost activity will be high, aiding in identifying its behaviors. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, and the fuse box will be functional, offering a slight advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are accessible, providing ample opportunities for safety during hunts.

The challenge provides a Monkey Paw as your Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, albeit at a steep cost: temporary blindness, deafness, and a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is better suited for groups where one player can act as a decoy.

To access Challenge Mode, navigate to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose Singleplayer or Multiplayer to initiate a new lobby, then go to the Difficulty tab and select Challenge Mode. Remember to manually select 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board. Completing the challenge three times is necessary to earn the full $5,000 reward, requiring only the correct ghost identification each time.

The Weekly Challenge resets every Monday at Midnight UTC, but North American players can start early on Sunday evening:

  • 5:00 pm Pacific Time
  • 6:00 pm Mountain Time
  • 7:00 pm Central Time
