Master the Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia: Weekly Guide

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might feel like a trip back to the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, we've got ghosts to contend with. This challenge requires us to complete investigations without the aid of electronics, pushing us to rely on our wits and knowledge of ghost behavior. Let's dive into how we can successfully navigate this daunting task.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge is one of the toughest weekly challenges in Phasmophobia, demanding that you identify the ghost and complete investigations without any electronic assistance. This leaves you with limited tools, making intuition and understanding of ghost behavior crucial. The challenge takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a manageable layout. To fully complete the challenge, you must successfully conduct three investigations.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge involves adapting to a unique set of rules and circumstances. You'll be without most of your usual equipment, including Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Sanity Medication is also off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter to help you initially.

Your provided equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for protection. For evidence gathering, you're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights, which double as your light source. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers to detect freezing temperatures.

To succeed, you'll need to leverage your knowledge of ghost behaviors. Each ghost has unique traits that can help you identify them without traditional evidence. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource here.

Your first step should be to locate the ghost quickly, as the lack of light increases your sanity risk. The ghost's increased activity in this challenge should aid in tracking it down. 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, as this will cost 50% of your sanity, and remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.
