The Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* transports players back to a seemingly prehistoric era, where the usual modern conveniences are stripped away. Unlike the cavemen, however, our challenge involves dealing with ghostly presences without the aid of electronics. To successfully navigate this challenge, we must rely on our intuition and understanding of ghost behaviors, making it one of the game's most daunting tasks.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge requires players to identify and investigate ghosts at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its manageable layout. This challenge, like all weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*, demands the completion of three successful investigations to earn full credit. The absence of electronics means you'll be limited to a few basic tools, pushing you to rely heavily on your knowledge of ghost behavior.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
Completing the Primitive Challenge involves adapting to a unique set of circumstances and a limited loadout. Without electronics, tools such as Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are off-limits, as shown below.
Sanity Medication is also unavailable, but you start with a full Sanity meter to temporarily shield you from ghost activity. Your provided equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a complete set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.
For evidence gathering, you're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which serve dual purposes as both flashlights and ultraviolet evidence detectors. Additionally, two Tier 1 thermometers are available for detecting freezing temperatures.
Identifying the ghost will require keen observation of their unique behavioral traits. Utilizing our no-evidence cheat sheet can aid in this process, as recognizing these traits often takes practice.
To locate the ghost quickly, take advantage of the increased ghost activity during this challenge. Alternatively, use the provided Ouija Board found in the laundry room on the first floor, left of the dining area. Ask the ghost for its "favorite room," but be aware that this will cost 50% of your sanity. Always say "Goodbye" to the board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt, especially in group settings as a safety measure.
