If you're ready to dive into one of the most terrifying experiences in *Phasmophobia*, the Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is your ultimate test. Here’s how to survive and emerge victorious from this daunting task.
How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* yet. It strips players of their usual tools, forcing them to identify the ghost without traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity. This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic setting that makes ghost evasion even more challenging due to its narrow corridors and blind spots.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll find yourself without the usual evidence-gathering tools such as Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Instead, you must rely on the ghost’s unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model to identify it.
Utilize the Parabolic Microphone to listen for the distinct screams of a Banshee or the frequent noises of a Myling. Use Salt on the floor to check for Wraith footprints. Lighting three Firelights in a row might reveal an Onyro. If you need help, refer to our comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors.
You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications provided. Be ready to investigate under these perilous conditions.
Although gathering evidence is tough, the ghost remains highly active, and events occur frequently. These can help you detect and understand its behavior. Remember, the ghost’s favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.
Most doors will be partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, which is a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.
You're equipped with the **Monkey Paw** as your Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, aiding your guess. However, this wish comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best for groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice.
