Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Survive the Fittest - Tips and Strategies

The *Phasmophobia* Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most intense and terrifying experiences the game offers. Here’s how to successfully navigate this daunting task and emerge victorious.

How to Complete the Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Screenshot via The Escapist The Survival of the Fittest challenge in *Phasmophobia* is notorious for its difficulty, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity protection. Your goal is to correctly identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic house-style map with narrow hallways and blind corners, making ghost tracking and evasion challenging.

Tips & Tricks to Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face specific restrictions. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are unavailable. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement speed, and ghost model to identify it.

Place Salt on the floor to identify a Wraith, and light three Firelights in succession to reveal an Onyro. If you struggle, refer to our comprehensive No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

Screenshot by The Escapist This challenge starts with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored despite the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you understand the ghost's behavior, although its favorite room remains constant.

Most doors are partially open, making ghost location detection harder. However, the fuse box is functional and starts on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.

Using it to "wish for knowledge" eliminates incorrect evidences and ghost types from your Journal, aiding in identification. However, this wish temporarily blinds and deafens you and triggers a Cursed Hunt. It's safer for groups, where one can sacrifice themselves without jeopardizing the investigation.
