To conquer this challenge, we'll need to navigate without any electronics, relying solely on our wits and the limited tools provided. Let's dive into how we can make this happen.

The Primitive Challenge is one of Phasmophobia's toughest weekly challenges due to the absence of electronic devices. You'll need to identify the ghost and complete the investigations at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a navigable layout. To fully complete the challenge, you must successfully finish three investigations.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

In this challenge, the lack of electronics means you're stripped down to the bare essentials. You won't have access to Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, Video Cameras, or Sanity Medication. However, you start with full Sanity, which offers some initial protection.

Your loadout includes:

• Two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts
• Tier 2 Firelights and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for additional safety
• Two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 UV lights for evidence gathering
• Two Tier 1 thermometers to detect freezing temperatures

To succeed, you must rely heavily on understanding ghost behavior and using the limited tools effectively. Here are some strategies:

• Locate the Ghost Quickly: The ghost has increased activity, making it easier to track. Your sanity is at greater risk in the dark, so finding the ghost swiftly is crucial.
• Use the Ouija Board: Located in the laundry room on the first floor, you can use it to ask the ghost its favorite room, but be prepared to lose 50% of your sanity. Always say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt.
