Mastering the Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia: Weekly Guide

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might feel like stepping back into the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, we're up against ghostly adversaries instead of woolly mammoths. To conquer this challenge, we'll need to navigate without our trusty electronics. Is it possible to pull this off? Absolutely, and here’s how.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge ranks among *Phasmophobia*'s most formidable weekly trials. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing investigations without the aid of any electronics. This means you'll need to lean heavily on your intuition and understanding of ghost behavior.

This challenge takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its manageable layout, which offers easier navigation and places to seek safety. To earn full credit, you'll need to successfully complete three investigations, just like in other weekly challenges.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Tackling the Primitive Challenge involves adapting to a unique set of rules and conditions. First off, you'll need to take stock of your limited loadout.

Electronics are off-limits, stripping you of essential tools like Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Even Sanity Medication is removed, though you start with a full Sanity meter to help fend off ghostly antics temporarily. Your provided equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to ward off up to two ghost hunt attempts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.

For evidence gathering, your options are slim. You'll have two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as both flashlights and tools for detecting ultraviolet evidence. Additionally, you'll get two Tier 1 thermometers to spot freezing temperatures.

To succeed, you'll need to harness your paranormal intuition. Each ghost in *Phasmophobia* has distinct behavioral traits, which can be key in identifying them without traditional evidence. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a handy resource to help you out.

To approach the investigation effectively, prioritize locating the ghost quickly. Without access to the fuse box, your sanity is at greater risk in the dark. Fortunately, the ghost in this challenge is more active, making it easier to track down.

For a more daring approach, consider using the Ouija Board, the lone Cursed Object provided. It's tucked away in the laundry room on the first floor, to the left of the dining area. Ask the ghost about its "favorite room," and it'll spell it out for you, albeit at the cost of 50% of your sanity. Remember to say "Goodbye" to the board once you're done to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is particularly useful in group settings for added safety.

How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To dive into the weekly challenge, first choose between Singleplayer or Multiplayer. Navigate to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID, and scroll until you find the 'Challenge Mode' difficulty. Select 'Apply,' return to the main menu, and head to the map board selection screen to choose 10 Ridgeview Court. Note that the location isn't automatically selected, so you'll need to pick it manually.

Your loadout is pre-set and unchangeable, so once you're ready, hit 'Ready Up' and then 'Start' to begin the challenge.
