How To Complete The Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

The Primitive Challenge is among the most difficult weekly challenges currently available in Phasmophobia. As its name suggests, you must identify the ghost and complete your investigation without using any electronic devices. This means no EMF readers, no cameras, no thermometers (except what little you’re given), and no flashlights—forcing you to rely almost entirely on instinct, observation, and deep knowledge of ghost behaviors.

This challenge takes place specifically at 10 Ridgeview Court, a house-style map that offers relatively easy navigation and multiple safe zones compared to other locations. Just like all other weekly challenges in Phasmophobia, you must complete three qualifying investigations to fully clear the objective.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Primitive Challenge in Phasmophobia

As with other weekly challenges in Phasmophobia, there are several unique conditions and limitations to be aware of before heading into 10 Ridgeview Court.

First off, electronic equipment is completely disabled during this challenge. That includes:

• Flashlights
• EMF Readers
• Thermometers (outside of provided ones)
• Ghost Writing Books (limited supply)
• UV Lights
• Video Cameras
• Sanitizer items

You also won’t have access to Sanity Medication, although you do start the round with full Sanity. You’ll be equipped with two Tier 1 Crucifixes, which can help prevent up to two ghost hunts if placed strategically. Additionally, you'll receive two Tier 2 Firelights and a full set of Tier 1 Incense for sanity management.

For evidence collection, your options are extremely limited:

• Two Tier 3 Ghost Writing Books
• Two Tier 1 UV “glowstick” Lights (also used as flashlights)
• Two Tier 1 Thermometers

Without electronic tools, identifying the ghost will require keen observation and a solid understanding of behavioral patterns. Each ghost type exhibits distinct behaviors, and recognizing these traits is key to success. For example, some ghosts react differently to light sources or specific interactions.

Your first priority should be locating the ghost as quickly as possible. Since you lack access to fuse boxes and lighting systems, remaining in the dark increases your Sanity drain significantly. Fortunately, ghost activity is slightly increased in this challenge, making detection easier.

One unconventional but effective method is using the Ouija Board, found in the cramped laundry room on the first floor, to the left of the dining area. Ask the ghost, “What is your favorite room?” and it will spell out the answer. Keep in mind, however, that this action costs 50% Sanity, so make sure to say “Goodbye” afterward to avoid triggering a cursed hunt. This tactic is best used in multiplayer for added safety.
