How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Screenshot via The Escapist Survival of the Fittest is renowned as one of the most challenging tasks in *Phasmophobia* due to its demanding nature. You're stripped of traditional evidence and sanity, forcing you to rely solely on your wits and observation skills. This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a map known for its tight corridors and claustrophobic feel, which complicates ghost tracking and evasion.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll encounter several limitations. Traditional evidence-gathering tools are off-limits, leaving you with a modified equipment loadout that excludes essentials like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors. Even Video Cameras are unavailable for additional surveillance.

Utilize the Parabolic Microphone to identify specific ghost sounds, such as the Banshee's scream or the Myling's frequent noises. Place Salt to detect a Wraith's presence or light Firelights to possibly reveal an Onyro. If you struggle, refer to a comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors to help narrow down your suspect.

Sanity cannot be replenished, not even with the provided Sanity Medications. The ghost remains highly active, and events are frequent, which, while terrifying, can aid in discerning ghost behaviors. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.

Most doors are partially open, making it harder to pinpoint the ghost's location. However, the fuse box is functional from the start, a small advantage. All nine hiding spots in 42 Edgefield Road are accessible, offering multiple safe havens during hunts.

Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect ghost types and evidence in your Journal, improving your chances of a correct identification. However, this wish comes with the risk of being blinded and deafened, triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy works best in groups, where one player can sacrifice themselves without jeopardizing the team's success.
