Phasmophobia Tortoise and the Hare: Tortoise weekly challenge mode tips

The Tortoise and the Hare: Tortoise 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 the layout of the reworked Grafton Farmhouse map. It looks and feels a lot different than it did before, so it’s best to first explore it in a custom match with the friendly ghost option turned on so you can strategize before you jump in.
• Start by turning on the fuse box. It always starts off in this trial, so begin each attempt by locating where it is on the map and tracking it down to get the power going.
• Be wary of early hunters. There’s no setup time in this one, so it’s possible, although unlikely, that you may be hunted as soon as you step on the map. Try to get Crucifixes down around the ghost room as soon as possible to deter this and also ensure you’re always ready to run or hide as needed.
• Avoid Cursed Possessions. Using them is likely to trigger a hunt, and since you’re slower than usual but the ghost is faster, you want to avoid hunts at all costs. It’s very difficult to escape them during one, so play it safe and don’t use these objects.
• Hide, don’t run. Running from the ghost during hunts doesn’t work well in this trial since your speed is decreased while the ghost’s speed is enhanced. Rely on hiding rather than running to survive in the event of any untimely ghost hunts you face. Consider scouting out some solid hiding spots early on so you can be prepared if needed.
• 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.
