Complete Phasmophobia's Primitive Challenge: Weekly Guide

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might make you feel like you've stepped back into the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, you'll be dealing with ghostly apparitions rather than woolly mammoths. The challenge requires you to complete investigations without relying on any electronic devices, pushing you to hone your paranormal intuition to the max.

The Primitive Challenge stands out as one of the most demanding weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing the investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court—a house-style map with a straightforward layout—without the aid of any electronics. This means you'll need to rely heavily on your knowledge of ghost behavior and intuition. To fully complete the challenge, you must successfully conduct three qualifying investigations.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge comes with its own set of unique rules. You won't have access to electronics, which includes essential tools like Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Sanity Medication is also off-limits, though you'll start with a full Sanity meter to help you withstand ghostly encounters temporarily.

Your provided equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a complete set of Tier 1 Incense for additional protection. For evidence gathering, you're limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights that double as flashlights, along with two Tier 1 thermometers for detecting freezing temperatures.

To tackle this challenge effectively, start by quickly locating the ghost. Increased ghost activity in this challenge should make this task easier, even without the house's fuse box. Alternatively, consider using the Ouija Board located in the laundry room on the first floor to ask the ghost about its favorite room. Be cautious, as this will cost you 50% of your sanity, and remember to say "Goodbye" to the board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.
