Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Mastering the Primitive Challenge

Author : Sadie Apr 25,2025

Embarking on the Primitive weekly challenge in *Phasmophobia* might transport you back to a time before modern conveniences, but unlike our cave-dwelling ancestors, you'll be contending with ghostly apparitions instead of saber-toothed tigers. This challenge requires you to navigate the haunted halls of 10 Ridgeview Court without the aid of electronics, a daunting task that tests your ghost-hunting prowess and intuition.

The Primitive Challenge is one of the toughest weekly challenges in *Phasmophobia*, requiring you to identify and investigate ghosts without any electronic assistance. This leaves you with a sparse set of tools, making your knowledge of ghost behavior crucial. You'll need to complete this challenge at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map with a navigable layout. Remember, you must successfully complete three investigations to earn full credit for the challenge.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

In this challenge, you're stripped of most equipment, including Flashlights, DOTs Projectors, and Video Cameras. Sanity Medication is also off the table, but you start with a full Sanity meter. Your provided gear includes two Tier 1 Crucifixes to prevent ghost hunts, Tier 2 Firelights, and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for protection.

For evidence gathering, you're limited to two Tier 3 Ghost Writing books and two Tier 1 "glowstick" UV lights, which double as your only light source. Additionally, you have two Tier 1 thermometers to detect freezing temperatures. With such limited tools, identifying the ghost relies heavily on understanding its unique behavioral traits. Our no-evidence cheat sheet can be a valuable resource here.

To maximize your chances, locate the ghost swiftly, as your sanity is at greater risk in the dark without access to the fuse box. The ghost's increased activity should aid in tracking it down. Alternatively, use the provided Ouija Board in the laundry room to ask the ghost its "favorite room," though this will cost you 50% of your sanity. Always say "Goodbye" to the Ouija Board to avoid triggering a Cursed Hunt, especially important in group play.

To tackle the weekly challenge, select Singleplayer or Multiplayer, then navigate to your Difficulty Settings above your profile ID. Find and select the 'Challenge Mode' difficulty, apply it, and return to the main menu. Choose 10 Ridgeview Court on the map board; the challenge won't auto-select it. The pre-selected loadout is non-negotiable, so when ready, hit 'Ready Up' and 'Start' to begin.
