Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might transport you back to the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, you'll be dealing with ghostly apparitions rather than saber-toothed tigers. The challenge here is to navigate through investigations without any electronics, which can feel daunting but is certainly achievable with the right approach.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge stands out as one of the toughest weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*. The twist? You must identify the ghost and complete your investigations without any electronic aids, pushing you to rely heavily on your instincts and understanding of ghost behavior.
Your mission takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its navigable layout and safe spots. Remember, to fully conquer this challenge, you need to successfully complete three investigations.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
Given the unique rules of this challenge, your loadout is significantly stripped down. Say goodbye to electronics like Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Even Sanity Medication is off the table, though you start with a full Sanity meter to help you cope with the ghost's antics.
Your provided gear includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to potentially ward off two ghost hunts, along with Tier 2 Firelights and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection. For evidence collection, you're limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your only light source. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers to check for freezing temperatures.
To succeed, you'll need to tap into your paranormal intuition and recognize the unique behavioral traits of each ghost. While it takes practice, our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a handy reference.
Start by locating the ghost as quickly as possible. The increased activity level of the ghost in this challenge should aid in this task. Alternatively, you can use the provided Ouija Board, found in the laundry room on the first floor, to ask the ghost its "favorite room." Be cautious though; this method costs 50% of your sanity and requires you to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This approach is best suited for group play as a safety precaution.
How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia
