Diving into the *Phasmophobia* Primitive weekly challenge might feel like stepping back into the Stone Age, but at least cavemen didn't have to deal with ghostly hauntings. To tackle this challenge, you'll need to enter and exit the investigation without relying on any electronics, which might sound daunting but is definitely doable with the right approach.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge is one of the most challenging weekly tasks in *Phasmophobia*, requiring you to identify the ghost and complete your investigations without any electronic assistance. This means you'll have to lean heavily on your intuition and understanding of ghost behaviors.
The challenge takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a layout that's relatively easy to navigate and provides safe spots. Remember, you need to complete three qualifying investigations to fully conquer this challenge.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
In the Primitive Challenge, you're stripped of most of your usual gear, especially electronics. This means no Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or Sanity Medication. However, you start with full Sanity, which helps keep the ghosts at bay, at least initially.
Your limited equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes for preventing ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for additional protection. For gathering evidence, you have two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights, which double as your only source of light and tools for ultraviolet evidence. Additionally, you get two Tier 1 thermometers to check for freezing temperatures.
To succeed, you'll need to rely on your paranormal intuition and knowledge of ghost behaviors. Each ghost has unique traits that can help you identify them, and our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a useful resource.
Your first task should be to locate the ghost quickly, as the lack of light increases the risk to your sanity. The ghost in this challenge has increased activity, making it easier to find. Alternatively, you can use the Ouija Board found in the laundry room on the first floor to ask the ghost its "favorite room," though this will cost you 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to the board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.
