Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia is a thrilling weekly event designed to put even the most seasoned ghost hunters to the test. Among its various challenges, the Do As I Command Challenge stands out as one of the more approachable options, offering a mix of unique conditions and strategic opportunities.

Challenge Mode is a recurring weekly task in Phasmophobia where players are assigned a preset contract with special rules and limited equipment. Each week begins anew on Sunday, presenting a fresh challenge to conquer. The difficulty of these tasks varies, ranging from manageable to extremely demanding. Some adjustments focus solely on ghost behavior, while others impose strict limitations on available tools.
To earn credit for a challenge, you must complete the assigned contract three times. These completions don’t have to be consecutive, but they must occur before the weekly reset. Additionally, correctly identifying the ghost during each attempt is crucial to meeting the challenge requirements. Optional objectives are not mandatory but can award extra points, which is particularly beneficial for players aiming to prestige their characters.
Upon full completion, you'll receive a base reward of $5,000, along with additional points earned throughout the challenge.

The Do As I Command Challenge is considered one of the easier options within Challenge Mode due to its relatively mild modifications to ghost behavior and equipment availability. According to the challenge description, players must "force the ghost to give you evidence," meaning the ghost will exhibit reduced activity compared to normal encounters.
This challenge takes place exclusively on the Sunny Meadows map, excluding the Restricted version. Players start with a generous set of equipment at the Tier 3 level, ensuring no critical tools are missing. Fortunately, the fuse box remains operational, so activating it upon arrival is strongly recommended.
Sunny Meadows is already known for its challenging environment, especially when dealing with quieter ghosts. However, this challenge eases the pressure slightly by introducing Cursed Possessions, which are absent in most other challenges.

All seven Cursed Objects are conveniently located in the chapel. Tools like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board expedite the process of locating the ghost, while items such as the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw encourage ghost activity to gather evidence. Keep in mind that using these objects carries risks, including sanity drain and cursed hunts.
With these strategies in mind, completing the Do As I Command Challenge becomes a manageable feat.
