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, we're up against ghostly apparitions. The task at hand is to navigate and complete the investigation at 10 Ridgeview Court without any electronic devices. This challenge, while daunting, is definitely achievable with the right strategy and knowledge.
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 the investigation without any electronic aids, pushing you to rely heavily on your intuition and understanding of ghost behavior. This challenge takes place at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a layout that's easier to navigate and find safety in. Remember, you need to complete three qualifying investigations to fully conquer this challenge.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
Facing the Primitive Challenge, you're stripped of the usual electronic equipment. No Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or Sanity Medication. However, you start with full Sanity, which is a crucial advantage. Your provided gear includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for additional protection.
For evidence gathering, your options are limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your light sources. You also have two Tier 1 thermometers for detecting freezing temperatures. Identifying the ghost will require keen observation of its unique behavioral traits. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource in this regard.
To efficiently tackle the investigation, prioritize locating the ghost quickly. The increased activity of the ghost in this challenge aids in tracking it down, especially since you can't access the fuse box. An alternative method involves using the provided Ouija Board, located in the laundry room on the first floor. Asking the ghost its "favorite room" can pinpoint its location, though it will cost you 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to the Ouija Board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt, particularly useful when playing in a group.
