Survival of the Fittest stands out as one of the toughest challenges in *Phasmophobia* due to its unique constraints. You're tasked with identifying the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map known for its narrow hallways and claustrophobic layout, which adds to the difficulty of tracking and evading the ghost.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia
Upon entering the location, you'll face several key limitations. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are off-limits. Instead, you'll need to rely on the ghost's unique behavior traits, movement speed, and ghost model to make your identification.

For instance, the Parabolic Microphone can help you detect specific ghost sounds, like the screams of a Banshee or the frequent noises of a Myling. Salt on the floor can confirm the presence of a Wraith, while lighting three Firelights in a row might reveal an Onyro. If you're struggling, refer to our detailed guide on No Evidence ghost behaviors for additional help.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you instantly vulnerable to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. The ghost will remain highly active, and events will occur frequently, aiding in understanding its unique behaviors. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.
Most doors are partially open, complicating location detection, but the fuse box will be functional and on. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are available, offering ample opportunities to evade the ghost during hunts.

You're equipped with the Monkey Paw, a risky Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" will burn out incorrect evidences and ghost types in your Journal, improving your chances of a correct guess. However, this comes at a high cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt starting near you. We recommend this tactic for groups, where one player can act as a decoy.
