Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* due to its stringent conditions. You'll need to identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a location known for its tight spaces and challenging layout, without relying on traditional evidence or sanity protection.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, remember that you won't have access to usual evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books or DOTs Projectors. Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as its movement speed and model. Use the provided tools wisely; the Parabolic Microphone can help detect specific ghost sounds, while Salt can identify certain ghost types like Wraiths. Lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onyro. For additional help, refer to our comprehensive guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you highly susceptible to ghost hunts from the outset. Despite having Sanity Medications, they won't restore your sanity. The ghost remains highly active, and its favorite room stays constant, aiding your investigation. Most doors will be partially open, but the fuse box will be on, and all hiding spots will be available.

The challenge provides a Monkey Paw as your sole Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, though it comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, plus initiating a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is better suited for group play, where one can sacrifice themselves without ruining the investigation.
