Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might transport you back to the Stone Age, but unlike our caveman ancestors, you'll be dealing with spectral entities rather than prehistoric beasts. The challenge? To navigate and complete your investigations without the aid of electronics, making it one of the game's most daunting tasks. Let's dive into how you can master this primitive ordeal and emerge victorious.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge pushes you to the limits of *Phasmophobia*'s weekly challenges. Without the luxury of electronics, you're tasked with identifying and investigating ghosts using only your wits and a limited set of tools. Your mission is set at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map that's easier to navigate, providing a slight advantage. To fully conquer this challenge, you'll need to complete three successful investigations.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
With the Primitive Challenge, your usual arsenal is stripped down, leaving you without essential electronics like Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Even Sanity Medication is off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter to buffer against ghostly antics. Your provided gear includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to thwart ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for additional protection.
For evidence gathering, you're equipped with just two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights, doubling as both your light source and ultraviolet evidence tool. Two Tier 1 thermometers are also at your disposal to check for freezing temperatures. Understanding the unique behaviors of each ghost type becomes crucial here, as you'll need to rely heavily on these traits without traditional evidence. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a lifesaver in identifying the ghost.
To quickly locate the ghost, leverage its increased activity during this challenge. Alternatively, make use of the Ouija Board, found in the laundry room to the left of the dining area on the first floor. Ask the ghost its "favorite room" to pinpoint its location, but be prepared to lose 50% of your sanity. Always say "Goodbye" to the board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt, especially vital in group play.
