Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* feels like stepping into the Stone Age, but with a ghostly twist—cavemen didn't have to deal with spectral hauntings! To conquer this challenge, you'll need to navigate without the aid of electronics, relying solely on your wits and ghost-hunting prowess.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge ranks among *Phasmophobia*'s toughest weekly trials. As the name implies, you're tasked with identifying the ghost and finishing investigations sans electronic gadgets. This limitation leaves you with minimal tools, pushing you to depend heavily on your understanding of ghost behaviors.
Set at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a more navigable layout, you need to complete three successful investigations to earn full credit for the challenge.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
When tackling the Primitive Challenge, be mindful of your restricted loadout. Electronics are off the table, meaning no Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or other tech essentials.
Sanity Medication is also unavailable, but you start with a full Sanity meter to shield you from ghostly antics. Your provided equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to ward off ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a complete set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.
For evidence gathering, you're limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV "glowstick" lights, which double as your illumination sources. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers to detect freezing temperatures.
Leverage your paranormal intuition and knowledge of ghost behaviors to identify the spirit. Use our no-evidence cheat sheet to assist you in distinguishing ghost types.
Your first step should be to quickly locate the ghost. The increased activity in this challenge makes it easier to track. Alternatively, use the provided Ouija Board in the laundry room on the first floor, left of the dining area, to ask the ghost about its favorite room. Be cautious, as this will drain 50% of your sanity, and always say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This method is particularly useful in group settings for added safety.
