Phasmophobia weekly challenge mode (Dec. 7-14)

From Dec. 7 to 14, the weekly challenge is Glow in the Dark in Phasmophobia. In this challenge, you’re missing most equipment that grants light, which means you’re pretty much investigating entirely in the dark. A Tier II UV Light is your only light source, and it’s barely anything.

How to complete the weekly challenge in Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia Glow in the Dark weekly challenge mode tips

The Glow in the Dark challenge is one of the trickier ones you can attempt in Phasmophobia, so here are some of the best tips to help you get it done.

• Learn 42 Edgefield Road’s layout. You’re basically stumbling around blind in this trial, so if you aren’t familiar with this location, it’s nearly impossible to get around. Before attempting this challenge, load a custom version of the game with the friendly ghost option turned on to freely explore this map and learn everything there is to know about it.
• Bring all your equipment to the front door. Before you start investigating, bring all of the items you need to the front door. You don’t have a setup time, so the ghost can technically come after you as soon as you set foot inside. If you prepare a bit by gathering the items you need near the front door, you’ll save time and be more likely to succeed.
• Use a UV Light to get around. You won’t get much light at all, but it’s this or nothing, so be sure to use this item as you try to explore the house.
• Play with friends. Your odds of success are a lot better with allies helping you through this tricky trial. With additional ghost hunters at your side, you can explore the map more quickly, work together to gather evidence, and continue the investigation even if you perish.
• Don’t give up. Since all equipment is provided for free, there’s nothing to lose in this challenge. Because of this, you can keep trying without worrying about losing money or equipment. Give each contract your all and keep at it until you get it done.
• Make an educated guess. Some ghosts are just easier to identify than others, so luck plays a large role in how easy or tough this trial is. You should always make a guess before you leave, then reroll to try again, even if you have no idea what the correct ghost type is.
