The Primitive Challenge stands out as one of Phasmophobia's most challenging weekly tasks. The twist? You're stripped of electronics, forcing you to rely on intuition and ghost behavior knowledge to identify the specter. The setting for this challenge is 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map designed for easier navigation and safety. Remember, to fully complete the challenge, you must successfully conduct three investigations.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge comes with its own set of rules. You'll be without most of your usual equipment, including Flashlights and evidence-gathering tools like DOTs Projectors and Video Cameras.

Sanity Medication is off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter. Your provided gear includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to potentially thwart two ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for protection. For evidence collection, you're limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your flashlights. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers to check for freezing temperatures.

To succeed, you must harness your paranormal intuition. Each ghost has unique behaviors that can help you identify them, even without traditional evidence. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a handy resource to master these traits.

Start by quickly locating the ghost. The challenge's increased ghost activity makes this easier, despite the darkness caused by the lack of access to the fuse box. For a more unconventional approach, use the provided Ouija Board found in the laundry room on the first floor. Ask the ghost its "favorite room" to pinpoint its location, but remember this will cost you 50% of your sanity. Always end your session with a "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt, especially important in group settings.
