Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia is a thrilling weekly task designed to challenge even the most seasoned ghost hunters. It features a preset contract with unique conditions and equipment, resetting every Sunday with a new challenge to tackle.

The difficulty of these challenges varies widely. Some are straightforward, akin to regular investigations, while others ramp up the intensity by modifying ghost behavior or limiting your gear to the bare minimum.

To conquer a weekly challenge, you need to complete the preset contract three times before the weekly reset. These completions don't need to be consecutive, but they must be finished before the reset to count towards your progress.

During each attempt, you must accurately identify the ghost for it to count towards your challenge completion. While completing optional objectives isn't mandatory, it can boost your score, which is particularly beneficial if you're aiming to prestige your character.

Successfully completing a weekly challenge rewards you with a base sum of $5,000, plus any additional points earned during the contracts.

The "Do As I Command" challenge in Phasmophobia is considered one of the more manageable options in Challenge Mode, thanks to minimal changes to ghost behavior and a full set of equipment.

The challenge's description hints that you'll need to coax evidence from a particularly subdued ghost. Importantly, this contract must be completed on the Sunny Meadows map, excluding the "Restricted" version.

You'll start with a preset loadout, all at Tier 3 level, so you won't be short on gear. Additionally, the fuse box is functional, so make sure to switch it on upon arrival to enhance your investigation.

While Sunny Meadows can be a challenging location, especially with a quiet ghost, this challenge comes with a significant advantage – access to all seven Cursed Possessions.

These Cursed Possessions are conveniently located at the chapel. Tools like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can help pinpoint the ghost's location quickly, while the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw can provoke ghost activity to gather evidence. However, be cautious as these items can also lead to sanity loss and trigger cursed hunts.
