Survival of the Fittest is arguably Phasmophobia's most challenging weekly challenge to date, due to its significant limitations. As the description implies, you must identify the ghost without traditional evidence or the usual sanity safeguards.

This challenge takes place at 42 Edgefield Road, a claustrophobic house map. The narrow hallways and blind corners make tracking and evading the ghost exceptionally difficult.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Several key restrictions apply. First, traditional evidence gathering is impossible. Your equipment lacks standard tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and even Video Cameras.

Instead, rely on behavioral clues: movement speed, ghost model, and unique traits. Provided tools can help. The Parabolic Microphone can detect Banshee screams or Myling sounds. Salt reveals Wraiths. Three consecutive Firelights might reveal an Onyro. If you're struggling, consult a complete cheat sheet of no-evidence ghost behaviors.

You begin with zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, despite the two (useless) Sanity Medications. Prepare for a high-risk investigation.

Ghost activity remains high, with frequent events aiding identification. The ghost's favorite room stays constant. Most doors start ajar, hindering location detection, but the fuse box is functional and on—a rare advantage. All nine hiding spots are available for safety during hunts.

Your only Cursed Possession is the Monkey Paw. Risky, especially solo, but wishing for knowledge eliminates incorrect evidence and ghost types from your Journal, improving your guess. This triggers blindness, deafness, and a nearby Cursed Hunt; best used strategically in a group.

How to Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

Challenge Mode is a weekly task accessed via the Main Menu's Difficulty Settings. Select Singleplayer or Multiplayer to create a lobby, then choose the Difficulty tab. Select Challenge Mode and 'Apply'. Remember to manually select 42 Edgefield Road on the Maps board. Complete the investigation three times for the full $5,000 reward (correct ghost identification is sufficient).
