The Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge in *Phasmophobia* is a thrilling yet daunting experience that pushes players to their limits. To help you emerge victorious, here’s a detailed guide on how to navigate this challenging scenario.
How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
Survival of the Fittest is one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia*, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity protection. Your mission is to correctly identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a location notorious for its narrow, claustrophobic layout that complicates tracking and evading the ghost.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several constraints. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are unavailable, and even Video Cameras are off-limits. Your success hinges on observing the ghost's unique behaviors, such as its movement speed, ghost model, and other distinctive traits.
Utilize the provided tools wisely. The Parabolic Microphone can pick up specific ghost sounds, like the screams of a Banshee or the frequent noises of a Myling. Salt on the floor can help identify a Wraith, while lighting three Firelights in a row might reveal an Onyro.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two Sanity Medications you receive. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can aid in identifying the ghost's behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, but most doors will be partially open, making location detection tricky. The fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available for safety during hunts.
The challenge provides a single Cursed Possession: the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can burn out incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, narrowing down your options. However, this comes 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.
