Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the most challenging experiences in *Phasmophobia* to date. This challenge strips away traditional evidence and sanity protection, forcing you to identify the ghost solely by its behavior. You'll tackle this daunting task at **42 Edgefield Road**, a claustrophobic setting that makes navigating and evading the ghost particularly tricky.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arrival at 42 Edgefield Road, you’ll find yourself without standard evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as its movement speed and specific sounds. Utilize the provided tools effectively; for instance, the Parabolic Microphone can pick up distinct screams or noises that can help identify ghosts like the Banshee or Myling. Salt can reveal a Wraith, and lighting three Firelights in a row might expose an Onyro. For more detailed guidance, refer to our comprehensive No Evidence ghost behavior cheat sheet.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly susceptible to ghost hunts. Note that sanity cannot be restored, even with the Sanity Medications provided. The ghost will remain highly active, and its favorite room won't change, so keep an eye on that. Most doors are partially open, making it harder to pinpoint the ghost's location, but the functional fuse box and available hiding spots can be lifesavers.

Your only Cursed Possession for this challenge is the **Monkey Paw**. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect ghost types and evidences in your Journal, but it comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt starting near you. This strategy is best employed in a group setting where one player can act as a sacrifice.

Choose between Singleplayer or Multiplayer to start a new lobby, then go to the Difficulty tab above your character ID. Scroll to find Challenge Mode, select 'Apply', and then manually select 42 Edgefield Road from the Maps board. Remember, completing the challenge three times is necessary to earn the full $5,000 reward, and you only need to correctly identify the ghost to succeed.
