It may feel like we've taken a step back into the Stone Age with the Primitive weekly challenge in Phasmophobia, but at least cavemen didn't have to worry about ghostly apparitions haunting them. The challenge of getting in and out without our trusty electronics might seem daunting, but with the right approach, it's absolutely achievable.
How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge stands out as one of Phasmophobia's most challenging weekly tasks. You're tasked with identifying the ghost and completing investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court without any electronic aids. This means relying heavily on your intuition and understanding of ghost behavior. Remember, you need to complete three qualifying investigations to fully conquer this challenge.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
Navigating this challenge requires understanding the unique constraints it imposes. You won't have access to electronics, meaning no Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, or Video Cameras. Moreover, Sanity Medication is off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter. Your equipment includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes, Tier 2 Firelights, and a set of Tier 1 Incense for protection.
For evidence gathering, you're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which serve dual purposes as both flashlights and tools for ultraviolet evidence. Additionally, two Tier 1 thermometers are provided to detect freezing temperatures.
To succeed, hone your paranormal intuition and leverage the unique behavioral traits of each ghost. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource here. Your primary goal is to locate the ghost swiftly, aided by the challenge's increased ghost activity.
An unconventional yet effective method is using the Ouija Board, found in the laundry room. By asking the ghost its "favorite room," you can pinpoint its location, albeit at the cost of 50% of your sanity. Always remember to say "Goodbye" to the board to prevent a Cursed Hunt, especially crucial in group settings.
How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia
To dive into the weekly challenge, select either Singleplayer or Multiplayer. Navigate to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID and find the 'Challenge Mode' option. Apply it, then head to the map board and select 10 Ridgeview Court. The pre-selected loadout cannot be altered, so once you're ready, hit 'Ready Up' and 'Start' to begin.
