Complete Phasmophobia's Primitive Challenge: Weekly Tips

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 contending with ghostly apparitions instead of woolly mammoths. The challenge? To navigate and complete your investigations sans any electronic gadgets. Sounds daunting, but it's entirely doable 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*, primarily because you're stripped of all electronic aids. This means identifying the ghost and wrapping up your investigations hinges on your keen intuition and understanding of ghost behaviors.

Set your sights on 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map in the game known for its easier navigation and safe spots. Keep in mind, like all weekly challenges, you need to successfully complete three investigations to claim full credit for the challenge.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge requires understanding the unique rules and limited resources at your disposal. Electronics are off the table, meaning no Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, or Video Cameras (as illustrated below).

Additionally, Sanity Medication is out, but you start with a full Sanity meter to temporarily shield you from the ghost's antics. Your arsenal includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to ward off up to two ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.

For evidence gathering, you're equipped with just two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights that double as your light source and evidence tool. Plus, two Tier 1 thermometers to spot freezing temperatures.

Leveraging your knowledge of ghost behaviors becomes crucial here. Each ghost type has distinct traits that, once recognized, can significantly aid in your investigations. For a helping hand, consider using our no-evidence cheat sheet.

Your strategy should start with quickly locating the ghost, as the dark environment heightens your sanity risk. The increased activity level of the ghost in this challenge should make this task manageable.

For a riskier approach, utilize the provided Cursed Object—the Ouija Board, located in the laundry room on the first floor, to the left of the dining area. Ask the ghost about its "favorite room," but brace yourself for a 50% sanity drop. Remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid a Cursed Hunt, especially vital in group settings.

How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To dive into the weekly challenge, decide if you're going solo or teaming up, then head to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID. Scroll to find the ‘Challenge Mode’ and apply it. Back at the main menu, manually select 10 Ridgeview Court on the map board. Note that the loadout is fixed and non-negotiable. Once ready, hit ‘Ready Up’ and ‘Start’ to embark on your challenge.
