The Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might throw you back to a time before technology, but unlike cavemen, you'll be dealing with ghosts instead of mammoths. This challenge requires you to complete investigations without relying on any electronics, making it one of the toughest in the game. Let's dive into how you can navigate this prehistoric predicament and come out on top.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge requires you to identify the ghost and complete your investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court without any electronic aids. This house-style map is easier to navigate and offers safe spots, which is crucial for this challenge. You need to complete three qualifying investigations to earn full credit.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The key to mastering the Primitive Challenge is understanding the limited loadout you're provided with. Electronics such as Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras are off-limits, which significantly narrows your toolset.
You won't have Sanity Medication, but you'll start with a full Sanity meter. Your equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a set of Tier 1 Incense for protection. For evidence gathering, you'll have two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as flashlights, and two Tier 1 thermometers for detecting freezing temperatures.
To succeed, you'll need to rely heavily on your knowledge of ghost behaviors and traits. Use our no-evidence cheat sheet to help identify the ghost.
Locating the ghost quickly is crucial, especially since you can't use the fuse box. The ghost's increased activity in this challenge should help you track it down faster. Alternatively, use the provided Ouija Board in the laundry room to ask the ghost its favorite room, but be prepared to lose 50% of your sanity and remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid a Cursed Hunt.
