Embarking on the *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling, yet daunting experience that tests your ghost-hunting prowess to its limits. Here’s how you can navigate through this harrowing ordeal and emerge victorious.
How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the most challenging experiences in *Phasmophobia* to date. You'll find yourself at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map notorious for its tight corridors and blind corners that complicate ghost tracking and evasion. The challenge is to correctly identify the ghost without relying on traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon reaching 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several unique constraints. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTS Projectors are unavailable, leaving you without the usual means to identify the ghost.
Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model. Utilize the provided tools like the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, or use Salt to identify a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onyro. For a comprehensive guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.
You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which, while terrifying, can aid in identifying the ghost. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.
Most doors will be partially open, complicating location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.
The challenge provides the Monkey Paw as your only Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, aiding your identification efforts. However, this wish comes at a steep cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice.
How to Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia
To dive into Challenge Mode, navigate to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then select the Difficulty tab above your character ID. Scroll to find Challenge Mode, select 'Apply', and then choose 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board.
