Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might feel like a trip back to the Stone Age, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, we've got ghosts to contend with. This challenge requires you to ditch all electronics, relying solely on your wits and ghost-hunting prowess to complete investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court. It's a daunting task, but with the right approach, it's definitely achievable.

How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Screenshot by The EscapistThe Primitive Challenge is among the toughest weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*. You'll need to identify the ghost and complete your investigations without the aid of any electronic devices. This leaves you with a sparse set of tools, making your knowledge of ghost behavior and intuition your most valuable assets.

Set at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a manageable layout, you'll need to complete three successful investigations to fully conquer this challenge. This location's design makes it easier to navigate and find safe spots during your ghost-hunting endeavors.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge means adapting to a unique set of rules and circumstances. Without electronics, your loadout is drastically limited. You won't have access to Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or Sanity Medication. However, you start with a full Sanity meter, which offers some initial protection against the ghost's antics.

For evidence gathering, you're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as both light sources and tools for detecting ultraviolet evidence. Additionally, you'll have two Tier 1 thermometers to identify freezing temperatures.

With such limited tools, understanding ghost behaviors becomes crucial. Each ghost has distinct traits that can help you identify them, even without traditional evidence. Utilize our no-evidence cheat sheet to enhance your chances of success.

The challenge's increased ghost activity aids in this endeavor, making it less challenging to pinpoint their whereabouts. An alternative strategy involves using the provided Ouija Board, located in the laundry room on the first floor, to ask the ghost for its favorite room. Be cautious, as this will cost 50% of your sanity, and always remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.
