*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is a thrilling and terrifying experience that pushes players to their limits. Here's how you can navigate this challenge and emerge victorious.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is one of the most daunting challenges in *Phasmophobia* to date, stripping players of essential tools and sanity. The goal is to correctly identify the ghost's type without traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity.

This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map known for its narrow hallways and claustrophobic design, which complicates tracking and evading the ghost.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at the location, remember that traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are unavailable. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, movement speed, and ghost model to identify it.

Utilize the provided tools effectively. For instance, the Parabolic Microphone can help detect the distinct screams of a Banshee or the frequent sounds of a Myling. Placing Salt on the floor can confirm if you're dealing with a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in succession may reveal an Onyro. If you struggle with identification, refer to our comprehensive No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

You start with virtually no setup time (only five seconds) and zero sanity, making you immediately vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications provided. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you observe unique ghost behaviors. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, which is useful for tracking. Most doors are partially open, making it harder to pinpoint the ghost's location, but the fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.

The only Cursed Possession for this challenge is the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, but at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt near you. This strategy is best for groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice without jeopardizing the investigation.
