You're tasked with identifying the ghost without any traditional evidence or the safety net of sanity.

This challenge takes place at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map notorious for its cramped spaces and blind corners, making ghost encounters even more nerve-wracking.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon entering 42 Edgefield Road, be aware of the unique conditions you'll face. Traditional evidence tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are off-limits, leaving you without Video Cameras for additional surveillance.

Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Despite the lack of evidence tools, the ghost remains highly active, offering frequent events that can help you discern its behavior. The ghost's favorite room remains constant, aiding in tracking.

Most doors start partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the fuse box is functional and on from the start, a small advantage. All nine hiding spots in 42 Edgefield Road are available, providing ample places to hide during hunts.

Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, narrowing down your options. However, this wish comes at a steep cost: temporary blindness and deafness, followed by a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is best used in groups where one player can act as a decoy.
