Embarking on the *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge can be a spine-chilling experience, but with the right approach, you can emerge victorious. Here's your guide to conquering this daunting task.
Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the most challenging experiences in *Phasmophobia* to date. This challenge strips you of conventional evidence and sanity protection, demanding that you accurately identify the ghost's type at **42 Edgefield Road**. The house's tight spaces and layout add to the difficulty of tracking and evading the ghost.

When you arrive at 42 Edgefield Road, remember you'll be without traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors. Your equipment list will be limited, pushing you to rely on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement, and sounds to make your identification.

Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help you 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, refer to a cheat sheet of ghost behaviors without evidence.

You begin this challenge with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you an immediate target for ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you identify the ghost's behavior. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, and while most doors are partially open, the fuse box is functional and on from the start. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.

You're equipped with the Monkey Paw as your only Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, but it comes with significant risks, including temporary sensory deprivation and a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best used in groups, where one player can act as a decoy.

To dive into Challenge Mode, navigate to the Difficulty Settings in the Main Menu. Choose between Singleplayer or Multiplayer, then select the Difficulty tab and scroll to Challenge Mode. Apply the setting, and don't forget to select 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board. Completing the challenge three times, correctly identifying the ghost each time, will earn you the full $5,000 reward.
The Weekly Challenge refreshes every Monday at Midnight UTC, but North American players can start the new challenge on Sunday evening at:
Ensure you complete your challenges before the server reset to claim your rewards.
