The Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge in *Phasmophobia* pushes players to their limits, offering a thrilling yet terrifying experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate and conquer this daunting challenge.

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* due to its unique constraints. You are tasked with identifying the ghost without relying on traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity. This challenge must be completed at **42 Edgefield Road**, a location known for its narrow corridors and claustrophobic design, which complicates ghost tracking and evasion.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, you’ll face several key challenges. Traditional evidence-gathering tools are absent from your equipment loadout, including Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Instead, you must focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model, to make an identification.

Use the provided Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, such as a Banshee's scream or a Myling's frequent noises. Place Salt on the floor to identify a Wraith, or light three Firelights in a row to possibly reveal an Onryo. For detailed guidance, consult our cheat sheet on No Evidence ghost behaviors.

The challenge begins with **no setup time** (just five seconds) and **zero sanity**, leaving you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications, so you must navigate this investigation under constant threat. However, the ghost remains highly active, with frequent events that can aid in identifying its unique behaviors. The ghost's favorite room will remain constant, which is a crucial clue.

Most doors start partially open, complicating ghost location detection. Fortunately, the **fuse box is functional and starts on**, a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available, providing ample opportunities to hide during hunts.

You are equipped with a **Monkey Paw** as your sole Cursed Possession. Using it to **"wish for knowledge"** can eliminate incorrect ghost types and evidence from your Journal, improving your chances of a correct guess. However, this wish comes with significant risks: temporary blindness and deafness, and it triggers a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best used in group settings, where one player can act as a decoy.
