Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia is an exciting weekly task designed to keep even the most seasoned ghost hunters on their toes. Each week, a new preset contract with unique conditions and equipment awaits you. The mode refreshes every Sunday, offering a fresh challenge to conquer.
The difficulty of these challenges varies. Some might feel similar to regular investigations, while others significantly alter ghost behavior or limit your equipment, pushing your skills to their limits.
To successfully complete a weekly challenge, you must fulfill the preset contract three times before the weekly reset. These completions don't need to be consecutive, but each time, you must correctly identify the ghost for it to count towards your challenge completion. Completing optional objectives isn't required, but it can earn you extra points, which is particularly useful 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 you earn during your contracts.

The "Do As I Command" challenge is considered one of the more manageable challenges in Phasmophobia's Challenge Mode. It features minimal alterations to ghost behavior and equipment, which can be a relief for some players.
The challenge requires you to "force this ghost to give you evidence," indicating that the ghost will be less active than usual. You'll need to complete this contract on the Sunny Meadows map, but note that the "Restricted" version isn't allowed.
You'll be equipped with a preset loadout at the Tier 3 level, ensuring you have everything you need. Additionally, the fuse box is functional for this challenge, so make sure to turn it on as soon as you arrive.
Completing a contract at Sunny Meadows can be challenging, especially with a quiet ghost. However, the "Do As I Command" challenge offers a significant advantage: access to all seven Cursed Possessions.

These Cursed Possessions are located in the chapel, making them easy to find. Items like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can help you pinpoint the ghost's location quickly, while the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw can provoke ghost activity to gather evidence. Be cautious, though, as using these items can lead to sanity drain and trigger cursed hunts.
