Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Mastering the Primitive Challenge

Author : Jack May 22,2025

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might transport you back to a time without modern conveniences, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, you'll need to tackle ghostly apparitions without any electronics. This challenge demands a return to basics, relying solely on intuition and ghost behavior knowledge to succeed. Let's delve into how you can conquer this daunting task.

Set at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a manageable layout, you'll need to identify the ghost and complete your investigations sans electronics. Successfully completing three qualifying investigations here is crucial to earning full credit for the challenge.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

Navigating the Primitive Challenge requires an understanding of the unique rules and limited equipment provided. You'll find yourself without essential tools like Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras, as depicted below.

Your arsenal includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to thwart up to two ghost hunt attempts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a complete set of Tier 1 Incense for added protection.

For evidence gathering, your options are slim. You're equipped with two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as flashlights and UV evidence tools. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers for detecting freezing temperatures.

Identifying the ghost hinges on your paranormal intuition and understanding of ghost behaviors. Each ghost has distinct traits, and mastering these can be the key to success. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a handy reference.

Ouija Board in PhasmophobiaTo quickly locate the ghost, capitalize on its increased activity during this challenge. Alternatively, use the Ouija Board, located in the laundry room on the first floor, to ask the ghost its favorite room. Be cautious; this costs 50% of your sanity, and remember to say "Goodbye" to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt. This method is particularly useful in group settings for added safety.
