Complete Phasmophobia's Primitive Challenge: Weekly Guide

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might feel like stepping back into the Stone Age, but at least cavemen didn't have to deal with ghostly hauntings. In this challenge, you'll need to navigate the eerie confines of 10 Ridgeview Court without relying on any electronic devices. Let's dive into how you can successfully complete this daunting task.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge is one of the toughest weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*, primarily because it forces you to forgo all electronic aids. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing your investigations using only your wits and basic, non-electronic tools. The setting for this challenge is 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its navigable layout, which can be a slight relief amidst the challenge's constraints. Remember, to fully conquer this challenge, you must complete three successful investigations.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Given the unique circumstances of the Primitive Challenge, it's crucial to adapt to the limited loadout provided. You won't have access to any electronics, which means no Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or Sanity Medication. However, you start with a full Sanity meter, which offers some initial protection against the ghosts' malevolence.

Your available equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to ward off ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a set of Tier 1 Incense for additional safety. For evidence gathering, you're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as both your light source and tools for detecting ultraviolet evidence. Additionally, two Tier 1 thermometers are provided to help you detect freezing temperatures.

With these tools, you'll need to rely heavily on your understanding of ghost behavior and their unique traits. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource here. Your primary goal should be to locate the ghost quickly, especially since the house's fuse box is off-limits, leaving you in the dark and at greater risk of sanity depletion. Fortunately, the ghost in this challenge is more active, making it somewhat easier to track.

For a more unconventional approach, consider using the Ouija Board found in the laundry room on the first floor, to the left of the dining area. It can help you pinpoint the ghost's favorite room, but at a cost of 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This method is particularly useful in group settings as a safety measure.

How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To tackle the Primitive Challenge, start by selecting either Singleplayer or Multiplayer mode. Navigate to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID and scroll to the 'Challenge Mode' option. Select 'Apply' and return to the main menu. Choose 10 Ridgeview Court from the map board selection, as the challenge doesn't auto-select the location. Remember, the loadout is pre-set and cannot be altered. When ready, hit 'Ready Up' and 'Start' to begin your challenge.
