How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia
Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* yet, stripping you of crucial tools and pushing you into a high-stakes guessing game. You're tasked with identifying the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic setting that complicates tracking and evasion due to its narrow hallways and blind corners.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several restrictions. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTS Projectors are off-limits, and even Video Cameras won't be at your disposal. Instead, you must rely on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model, to deduce its identity.

Tools like the Parabolic Microphone can help identify specific ghosts by their distinct sounds. Salt can reveal the presence of a Wraith, while lighting three Firelights in a row might expose an Onyro. If you struggle to guess the ghost's type, refer to our comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors.
Starting with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, you're immediately at risk of ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the Sanity Medications provided. The ghost will exhibit high activity and frequent events, which, despite being terrifying, can aid in understanding its behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.

Most doors will be partially open, making it harder to pinpoint the ghost's location. However, the functional fuse box offers a rare advantage. With nine hiding spots available, you have multiple opportunities to evade during hunts.

The challenge includes the Monkey Paw as your only Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect guesses in your Journal, but at a steep cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a sacrificial decoy.
