Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Mastering the Primitive Task

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might make you feel like you've been transported back to the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, you've got the added complication of ghostly encounters. Completing this challenge requires you to ditch all electronics, which can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it's definitely achievable.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge ranks among *Phasmophobia*'s toughest weekly challenges. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing investigations without any electronic aids, pushing you to rely heavily on your intuition and understanding of ghost behaviors.

This challenge takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its navigable layout, which is a plus for safety. To fully complete the challenge, you must successfully conclude three investigations, as is standard for *Phasmophobia*'s weekly challenges.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge comes with its own set of rules and limitations. The most notable absence is electronics, stripping away your access to Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, and more, as shown below.

Additionally, Sanity Medication is off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter to help shield you from ghostly antics. Your toolkit includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes for thwarting ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a complete set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.

For evidence gathering, your options are slim. You have two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your only light sources and tools for detecting ultraviolet evidence. You also receive two Tier 1 thermometers to check for freezing temperatures.

With these limited tools, honing your paranormal intuition becomes crucial. Each ghost in *Phasmophobia* has distinct behavioral traits that can help you identify them, even without traditional evidence. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource in this regard.

Your initial goal should be to locate the ghost quickly. Since you can't use the house's fuse box, darkness poses a higher risk to your sanity. However, the ghost's increased activity in this challenge makes tracking it easier.

For a bolder approach, you can use the provided Cursed Object, the Ouija Board, found in the laundry room to the left of the dining area on the first floor. Ask the ghost about its "favorite room" to get a direct answer, but be prepared to lose 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to the board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This method is particularly useful in group settings for added safety.

How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia

To dive into the weekly challenge, select Singleplayer or Multiplayer from the main menu. Navigate to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID, and scroll until you find the 'Challenge Mode' option. After selecting 'Apply', head back to the main menu and choose 10 Ridgeview Court on the map board selection screen. Remember, the location isn't automatically set for you.

The loadout is pre-selected and unchangeable, so once you're ready, hit 'Ready Up' and 'Start' to begin your challenge.
