Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Mastering the Primitive Challenge

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 intuition. Can we pull it off? Let's dive into the details and strategies to conquer this daunting task.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge stands out as one of the toughest weekly challenges in Phasmophobia. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court without any electronic assistance. This house-style map is easier to navigate, offering a bit of a safety net. Remember, you need to successfully complete three investigations to fully conquer this challenge.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge means adapting to a severely limited loadout. Electronics, from Flashlights to DOTs Projectors and Video Cameras, are off-limits. You'll start with full Sanity, but without Sanity Medication, maintaining it becomes crucial.

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 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your light source, and two Tier 1 thermometers for detecting freezing temperatures.

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

Locating the ghost quickly is your first priority, especially since you can't access the fuse box, leaving you in the dark and more vulnerable. The ghost's increased activity in this challenge should help you track it down. Alternatively, you can use the Ouija Board found in the laundry room to ask the ghost its favorite room, though this will cost you 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.

How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To tackle the Primitive Challenge, select either Singleplayer or Multiplayer, then navigate to your Difficulty Settings. Find and select 'Challenge Mode', apply it, and return to the main menu. Choose 10 Ridgeview Court on the map board, as the challenge won't auto-select it for you. The loadout is pre-set and unchangeable. When ready, hit 'Ready Up' and 'Start' to begin.
