Phasmophobia: Conquering the "Do As I Command" Challenge

Conquer *Phasmophobia*'s notoriously tricky Challenge Mode with our guide to the "Do As I Command" challenge. This weekly event tests even the most seasoned ghost hunters, presenting unique contract conditions and limited equipment. If you're ready to tackle this specific challenge, read on!

What is Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia?

Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia is a weekly rotating task. Each week, a new contract with specific conditions and equipment limitations is presented. This mode resets every Sunday, offering a fresh challenge. The difficulty varies; some are relatively straightforward, while others demand exceptional ghost-hunting skills through modified ghost behavior and limited gear. To complete a challenge, you must successfully finish the contract three times (not necessarily consecutively) before the weekly reset. Correctly identifying the ghost each time is crucial. While optional objectives offer bonus points (useful for character prestige), they aren't mandatory for challenge completion. The reward for a completed weekly challenge is $5,000 plus any earned points.

How to Complete the "Do As I Command" Challenge in Phasmophobia

The "Do As I Command" challenge is considered one of the easier Challenge Mode options. The alterations to ghost behavior and equipment are minimal. The challenge description indicates a less active ghost, requiring you to actively provoke evidence. The contract takes place on the Sunny Meadows map (the "Restricted" version is excluded).

You'll receive a pre-set Tier 3 equipment loadout. Conveniently, the fuse box is functional, so power it up upon arrival. Even with the potentially less active ghost, Sunny Meadows can be challenging. However, this challenge offers a significant advantage: access to all seven Cursed Possessions.

Unlike many challenges, you'll find all seven Cursed Possessions conveniently located together in the chapel (pictured above). Items like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can quickly pinpoint the ghost's location, while others, such as the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw, can trigger ghost activity to gather evidence. Remember, using these items carries risks, including sanity loss and cursed hunts.
