How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
The Primitive Challenge is one of Phasmophobia’s most demanding weekly challenges, requiring you to identify the ghost and complete the mission without using any electronic equipment. This means no cameras, no EMF readers, and no flashlights—just pure instinct and knowledge of paranormal behavior.
This challenge must be completed at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map known for its manageable layout, offering easier navigation and more opportunities to find safe zones compared to other locations. As with all weekly challenges, you’ll need to successfully complete three qualifying investigations to fully clear the task.
Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia
Like other weekly challenges in Phasmophobia, the Primitive challenge introduces unique gameplay restrictions that require strategic planning and adaptability.
One of the most notable limitations is the absence of electronic equipment. This includes:
- Flashlights
- Video Cameras
- DOTs Projectors
- Sanity Medication
However, you do start the challenge with a full sanity bar, which gives you some temporary protection against aggressive ghost activity. You’re also equipped with two Tier 1 Crucifixes, allowing you to block up to two hunts if placed correctly. Additionally, you have access to:
- Two Tier 3 Ghost Writing Books
- Two Tier 1 UV Glowsticks (used as both light sources and UV tools)
- Two Tier 1 Thermometers
- Tier 2 Firelights
- A full set of Tier 1 Incense
These items will serve as your primary tools for gathering evidence and maintaining safety. Since traditional tech-based detection methods are off the table, you’ll need to rely heavily on behavioral observation and ghost-specific traits.
To begin, locate the ghost as quickly as possible. Due to the lack of lighting and limited visibility, staying in the dark increases your risk of sanity loss. Fortunately, the ghost’s activity level is heightened during this challenge, making it easier to detect.
If playing in a group, consider using the Ouija Board, found in the laundry room on the first floor, to the left of the dining area. Asking the ghost “What is your favorite room?” can help pinpoint its location, though doing so costs 50% sanity. Always say “Goodbye” after receiving the answer to avoid triggering a cursed hunt.
How To Access Challenge Mode in Phasmophobia
To take on the Primitive Challenge, follow these steps:
- Choose either Singleplayer or Multiplayer mode.
- Navigate to the Difficulty Settings, located above your profile ID.
- Scroll through the options until you find Challenge Mode and click ‘Apply’.
- Return to the main menu and select 10 Ridgeview Court from the map board.
Keep in mind that the correct map must be selected manually—the challenge won’t do it for you automatically.
Once everything is set, confirm your loadout (which is pre-selected and unchangeable), click ‘Ready Up’, then ‘Start’ to begin your investigation.
