Challenge Mode in *Phasmophobia* is a thrilling weekly feature that offers players a unique preset contract, complete with special conditions and equipment. This mode refreshes every Sunday, presenting a new challenge to conquer. The difficulty of these challenges varies; some may feel similar to standard investigations, while others ramp up the intensity by altering ghost behaviors or limiting your equipment.
To successfully complete a weekly challenge, you must fulfill the preset contract three times, not necessarily consecutively, but before the weekly reset to earn your rewards. Each time, you need to accurately identify the ghost to count towards your challenge completion. While completing optional objectives isn't mandatory, doing so can earn you extra points, which can be crucial for those aiming to prestige their character.
Upon full completion of a weekly challenge, you'll receive a base reward of $5,000, along with any additional points earned during the contracts.

The "Do As I Command" challenge in *Phasmophobia* is considered one of the more manageable challenges within the mode, thanks to minimal changes in ghost behavior and equipment availability. The challenge requires you to "force this ghost to give you evidence," indicating that the ghost will be less active than usual. Importantly, you must complete the contract on the Sunny Meadows map, but note that the "Restricted" version is not permitted.
You'll start the challenge with a fully equipped Tier 3 loadout, which means you won't be missing any crucial gear. Additionally, the fuse box is functional, so make sure to turn it on upon arrival to enhance your visibility and use of equipment.
While navigating Sunny Meadows can be challenging due to the ghost's quiet nature, the "Do As I Command" challenge offers a significant advantage: access to all seven Cursed Possessions. These are conveniently located in the chapel, as shown in the screenshot below.

Using items like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can expedite finding the ghost's location, while the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw can provoke the ghost into revealing evidence. Be cautious, though, as using these items can lead to sanity drain and trigger cursed hunts.
