Not sure if anyone will see this but.... 1. You can use a dead branch and a regular stick to defend yourself. (I've killed a pather with an unsharpen stick just tskes a couple more hits) 2. I have three adult females in my clan and i get everyone pregnant before i push give birth and i give birth to 3 babies at once with only skipping 15 months each time. (30 months in total for all 6 intead of 90 months). 3. While in a fear zone use your intelligence and smelling to scan things you've already descovered to quickly conquer your fear. You dont need to pick them up again. 4. Elders dont not have to conquer fear in new areas. 5. Elder males can still have kids, elder females can not. 6. The more apes you have with you the easier it is to intimate animals. ( I personally don't do this because i find it a hassel keeping track of all of them so they dont die. I usually just run at the animal chasing me. I'm the top of the food chain and i will go out of my way to chase them down to prove it.) Also having a weapon in your hand increases intimation. 7. If you evolve to late you can still lose genetic mutations that say are locked in. Like i said dont know if anyone will see this but i figured i'd try to help. I have more tips but dont want to ruin the game.
@@Cody-xi8iy there is a neuron you unlock that alows ypur other apes to attack. I have it but haven't quite found out how to make it useful. Going to try a hunting ambush party tonight to see if that works
you can also use a rock to defend yourself. I accidentally found this out mid-panic when I accidentally grabbed a granite instead of my sharpened stick.
If you’re picking up fruit, make sure, regardless, you inspect it. They will smell it. And based on their reaction, if they do their happy dance, it is safe to eat. If they sound disgusted, drop it on the ground.
the ultimate tip i can give, outside the hidden waterfall, is a thing called "Basalt", its very weak and can break easily, but bash two together and get the chopper, make two one for the base and one for yourself, the chopper is a Godly tool, it chops up dead animals dummy fast, makes sticks into sharpened sticks dumb fast, even without stripping, you can even kill with the chopper alone. Also you can Strip horsetails for medicine or better yet, grind it up in a granite Grinder into paste and it gives you max Blood protection, Grinding up Khat is a super paste and gives you max broken bones and max cold, combo Horse tail paste and khast paste and you will feel powerful
I don't know I'm guessing because of how much repetitive stuff you're doing like mating but that's how the game is and I'm enjoying it too. I find it interesting just going back in time and relearning all the simple stuff
Major tip for all: Never go to meteor sites without all your unmutated children. They gain mutations from the meteor and then all 18 of your apes can have useful mutations instead of just 2 per age group
The Majestic Bull Dog natural laxative in real life, so basically use but not often. Helps clear the stomach. But can cause serious bowel issues long term.
@@capnace9001 pretty much. great in a short term survival situation but if you are marooned for an extended period itll end up dehydrating you from diarrhea
You forgot to mention that if you use a basalt chopper on a husked coconut and drink it, it gives you a full venom and, what I think is supposed to be food poisoning shield. Carrying a precious stone makes you brave too. I'm not sure what the limits are on that though. There is an emerald high within the first settlement. You just have to climb the vines towards the back, near the coconut tree, then climb some rocks to the right. It makes a sound when it is nearby and hasn't been picked up yet. I'm not sure how to describe the sound. Not really a ringing sound but, it is very noticeable. Coconut water can also be used to help when poisoned. Mud can be applied for protection from heat and cuts (one full shield each.) In the trees nearby there is a fiber that can be applied to help cure bleeding too. Gathering those kinds of things before you need them would be best. Especially when you could lose a clan member otherwise. At least to bleeding and possibly being poisoned. We learn best by experience 😅
I know I am wildly late to the party, but one huge tip that they don't explain to you is that if you inspect the bones of the dead elders, you get a huge chunk of "experience." You can unlock any nodes that you did not reinforce from the previous generation without any issues at all. Plus, the bones stick around from previous generations and can be reexamined, basically eliminating the need to carry kids out into the field after the third generation.
One important tip you didn't mention is that when you eat or drink your life circle will flash yellow if you're improving that stat. It will give a final green flash when the stat is full then not flash any more. You use this to make sure your ape is fully fed and watered. Also The black bars closing in from the top and bottom of your screen at 1:05 mean that your ape is very tired. (think of them as eyelids closing) It's extremely dangerous to be out when you're that tired since the chime you use to dodge threats is muted and you probably won't hear it. (sleep in a tree if you have to rather than traveling tired)
@@@GamingWithAbyss There are two different stages. Just with your hand makes a pile of leaves you can apply, and then you can grind that into a paste with the granite grinder. Can't remember the specifics, but the paste is definitely better. Still, if you're out and about it's nice sometimes to be able to do this manually without having to look for granite rocks first.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 I know this is old but I figured I'd drop it here in case it helps anybody else. Alter horse tails to get horsetail leaves if you're bleeding it will fully get rid of bleeding status. If you're not bleeding it will give small resistance to bleed. If you use a granite grinder on the horse tail leaves if you're bleeding it will do the same thing as the horse tail leaves, but if you're not bleeding it will apply full bleed resistance; so if you are just trying to get rid of the bleed status there is no need to grind it.
@@GamingWithAbyss at least on pc, there's a bright flash occurring when you need to release the button so you dont need to listen for the subtle queues, although it doesnt work when comforting a child. it works with everything else though, attacking, crafting etc. I've actually converted all the sound files to .ogg and i'm in the process of sorting trough them right now. the songs fit really well with the atmosphere i fell in love with the ost
Stomach icon is not food poisoning, it’s inability to process that kind of food due to lack of specific pheromones. Food poisoning is the icon with two bubbles (infection).
I haven’t gotten too far yet: I want to get to the point where I am able to eat meat and fish. Also eggs from that bird that killed the ape in the beginning. That’ll teach him
@@GamingWithAbyss just brought it, haven’t even dipped into the honey yet, just discovered the banging rocks trick! Self taught everything, away on holidays and can’t play so watched this instead. Can’t wait to go again!
2:08 you can strip the dead branch before sharpening it with the stone to save time and another tip: Always take hominid females who have already had 2 children for the expeditions, because their death will not be dramatic since they can no longer have children while the old males can still.
I honestly love the way this game doesn't tell you how to do things specifically. It actually kinda makes you feel as if you were there living in that time
Khat is a very good plant. It's just arrow head looking leaves that are red. They help with bone breaking and the cold too i think. They are your friends especially when against warthogs or if ur rlly good at swinging around. If i ever see a machairodus tiger then i look for kapok fiber first. Put it in my left hand and my spear in the right so if i fail but dont drop the kapok then i can hide and use it. Cocos can be opened via any rock (basalt choppers are the best more on em later) and can be used when thirsty or to help thirsty ppl. U can get honey by stripping a natal and then dipping a beehive, you use honey to deal with poisoning and 1 more thing i forgot. If you lift a liftable rock you might find mud. This will especially help you in the desert as it gives you heat resistance and some other things i think it conceals your position which lets you sneak up or get near animals without losing dopamine. If you find basalt quickly pick up another and bash them against each other to make a basalt chopper then switch the items and use the basalt chopper to make another chopper. These are your best friends. Wether your tryna sharpen a stick or open a coco these buds will sharpen a dead branch (that you haven't stripped) in 4 maybe 3 hits(faster if stripped). And open a coco in 3. Pretty sure you can open a coconut with this without the coconut breaking. You can also use it as a weapon(prolly most damaging rock) i could prolly keep going but i won't. Basically, get a basalt chopper. You definitely need it! Oh and if you eat things that will give you a stomach ache then just drink coco water or drink alot of fresh water to get rid of this effect, you can repeat this multiple times to help you get omnivorous
As a new player I'd just like to say thx for the content. All information is appreciated, no matter who made it, I thank you all. I have mixed feelings on whether I should watch videos like this or just fumble through the game on my first play and take it from there? Then I saw videos with titles like yours and figured, hehe, damn...I'd better watch some of these and see what they mean. Glad that I did. I realize that the game is intended to be a learning experience. Annnd, I've been learning, hahaha, as ever painful as the lessons may be, lol. I've started over a few times, and it looks like I will again. Having lots of fun with this game, even if it isn't the easiest. Maybe I'm just not that good, hahaha, no worries, either way thx and have fun. High five to all the helpful comments as well ;)
Oh thank you, i was feeling the same ... What's the point of giving tips on informations that are already explained by the game or actually displayed on the screen ? x) It's hard to find more specific and usefull tips about this game even few years later. Tried to watch a playtrough earlier... that person had no idea what she was doing xD (best exemple: she thought reinforcement points were to use everyday...wtf)
If you identify bones of dead family members after you skip a generation you gain a lot of xp so if you want to skip a few gens to lock in some skills and don’t want to grind xp each time just search some bones around your campsite
I found out that the babies don't have any negative effects for losing stamina while climbing. I was actually cornered by a massive cat after my adult died, I had nowhere to go but up a massive cliff face so I started climbing hoping I could reach a ledge. When my green stamina globe was fully depleted it just stayed yellow and it let me keep climbing, so I took full advantage of that and just shimmied my way back home lol. I literally climbed sideways along the cliff on the edge of the map for 5 minutes just so I wouldn't have to risk running into another predator AND I didn't have to rescue the little shit 😂
Coconuts can be peeled with just your hand. Then you can use a basalt chopper to poke a hole in it with one hit for a longer drink than if you just smash the covered nut open with a rock, or use an obsidian scraper to cut it in half and eat the insides. Easily my favorite food source. drinking source and anti-venom source while exploring since I discovered this.
@@@GamingWithAbyss I like to have at least one extra ape with me to carry a chopper and a scraper. But usually I go out with two extra apes, so one can carry backup sticks as well. Plus you can bring all the kids into jungle hell with three apes, which is clearly the responsible thing to do anyway. Wouldn't want to be attacked by a crocodile without two kids hanging off you.
Your clan can mass produce sharp sticks if you double tap b for every step. So sastisfying hearing 11 members crafting spears. However if they can't find a stick or stone, they won't make one.
i Would HIGHLY recommend turning the music off if you want an extra challenge. A lot of the time, when there is a predator nearby, the game will subtly turn the music off so that it doesn’t distract you from the predator. But spend enough time in the game and you’ll learn to recognise and use those music cut-offs as cues to immediately climb the nearest tree into safety. Having the music off, and not knowing if there is a predator or not around makes the game so much more tense and challenging, I would highly recommend.
I just bought it and so far I'm loving it! Though I'm graduating this summer with a physical anthropology minor so maybe I'm just being a biased nerd :P
I think the game would be much better and more of a game if you just simply had the ability to initiate attacks to hunt, in stead of stupid dodging and countering… They Could have also made the movement more fluid in stead of stiff with a bad camera angle. Or at least mods or COOP, with all these problems the game is still OK but it could have been sooo much better
Thanks for this mate... I just got the game and though I would just figure it out.... half an our in I had already poisoned myself, broken bones.. had one guy eaten by a croc... and had no idea how to dodge ( because my music was high ) and all I wanted was to investigate a meterorite... Going to start another playthrough and this will help alot! I love these types of games that don't hold your hand.... but sometimes a few tips are well needed
Literally just happened to me… tell me why when I got to the meteorite there was a boar and a big ass snake surrounding it, took me so long to inspect it, barely made it out alive I was so happy then out of no where a jaguar chewed me up.. not to mention all the broken bones and deaths falling from trees and the worst one was taking a travel companion thinking we would be safer together just to watch him get mauled by a croc
Ok guys what I do whenever I go explore I take 2 elders with me in case if I die the elders can take the babies back to camp you gotta think of this game as a survival game to the point where everything you possibly do is a life or death situation I love this game because your always on alert...the reason why I bring 2 elders with me is because we can explore and find a place to live each time I do especially when I realize ok there’s no food here anymore time to move when I find a decent location that will do perfect to live I set up a bed I got back gather everyone up and go to the next location this game is crazy sometimes depending on where you live exactly
When you learn to dodge and attack, you are less likely to die. Unless you fall from a very high height Which I have done that already. I think the only nerve-wracking thing was when moving a settlement to the Savannah. That had me on the edge because my clan members were getting attack left and right.
This video rly helped me i was having trouble with this game at first feeling like i had to restart multiple times to actually get the hang of it and after watching this video i learned a lot of new things i even managed to kill 2 or 3 of the black cats in one day! I felt very good abt myself
1.You can strip a dead branch to create a stick. 2.Banging a basalt against a rock will create a chopper, this decreases the amount of hits needed to create a sharpen stick. 3. Drinking a coconut or eating mushrooms will help drunkness (Not stomach ache) 4. Animals can climb rocks, but not barricades.
NGL I spent my first playthrough making piles and piles and piles of sticks sharpened sticks bedding and stems with no real understanding on why but I felt obligated to do so and if you advance time those piles will stay for the future generations
You dont actually need a rock to make a stik it's a lot more faster to just switch dead branch into your other hand then alter it with your other hand 90% of the time it will turn straight into a stick but you do need a rock to turn it into a pointy stick
yeah but on average the pointed stick can kill in about 1-2 hits maybe 3. I havent seriously tested the stripped stick but it takes more hits to kill something (on average)
@@theyfwkev8266 they’re just saying that it’s easier to strip a dead branch with your hands first and then use a rock to make it pointy since your hands can strip it in one go
The best part of that is not the reinforcement points. Whenever you take a kid to a meteorite that kid will get a genetic mutation so if you take 6 kids to that meteorite. All six kids will get a new genetic mutation if they don't have one
How did you get to the meteorite I can’t get to it because the giant python is right there and my ape always goes into fear mode so I can’t discover it
I know this is years later, but amazing job on this guide. I've watched so many other guides that weren't nearly as straight-forward and didn't provide nearly the amount of information.
Aye FYI. The music is just as important in some ways because it notifies what the situation is. If you're in your settlement it'll be a calming mellow type of music but if your in a fight or in dangerous territory it's straight fire
Basicly how i play it now is get 6 kids and once i have learned 6 skils (or more if you find a meteorite) then its time to skip. Then immediately make 6 kids again before you start doing anything. When i go outside camp, i take a few elders with me, all equiped with a stick. When i lost mine, i take theirs and get new sticks. New clan apes are always close to your settlement. If you eat in a non conquered zone it will fill up the circle really fast. You can be the apex predator in no time if you use weapons. First few days i was going trough trees, bubt after the first evolve there is nothing to fear. Haha after killing the first few tigers i said outlloud "i am the danger" Ooh and there are some really usefull maps on the interwebs. Most important, dont rush!
Hey man thanks for these tips i just got the game on ps4 and i missed so many things im going to start a new game and try again with ur tips thanks! :)
I had no idea when they got hysteria they tried to auto run home, so I kept trying to force the monkey in the direction of the white orb haha. Top tip for fast travel to death.
this is for combat, when in combat and you try to kill something/dodge you have to point the way you want to go so if you wanna kill it/hit it point towards it and when dodging go back, left or right (i found when dodging always go left or right as i am 99% sure if you fail you will bleed less than going back.)
Your Max actually is at 6 children, whenever I leave my settlement I always have 2 adult males carrying 2 children each while I carry 2 children n we explore on. Also don’t skip all the cutscenes cause some areas cause meteors to show up, each meteor allows all 6 children to have genetic mutations so that’s 12 genetic mutations stored over from just 1 evolution. Plus finding 1 meteor cause you to be able to double your nodes. Each generation can have up to 12 nodes that can be saved. Adding to the 6 genetic mutation each generation as well.
I like to err on the side of caution. All mutations stay in camp and 1 kid per adult with enough adults to quickly evacuate ALL kids if something happens. It’s saved me a few times.
just wanna say, if you dont have this game, get it, i havnt been this in love with a game in a long time, i cant keep my mind off it, not for people who need easy and instant gratification, but for those who enjoy a slow playstyle this game is a masterpiece
You can inspect them if you aren’t sure, and you’re ape will either let you know that it’s good or turn away from it and that would show that it’s not good.
ik the video is old but i think its important the fact that outside your clan zone the game will always try to find the perfect timing to spawn a tiger programmed to attack you once you pass your first generation or evolution
I fumbled through on my first play, I feel like that’s part of the fun. Now I’m going to start over with what I learned and with tips from videos like this.
If you hold the drop button (not while climbing), you can throw stuff. Very useful if you just want to grab a couple coconuts and throw them into your settlement.
Regarding Meteorites. You not only get reinforcement points per kid there, ALL those kids who don't have mutations gain a mutation. Green stomach isnt food poisoning.. its just a bad tummy ache. Water is the fastest way to deal. The two berries showing on the shield there.. if you have that without the shield that's food poisoning. Look up what you need for that but if you are close to potable water, that's the fastest way to deal with that as well vs looking, prepping, using.
You asked if we could add to "Things I wish I knew earlier", I wouldn't know because I wasn't there. Also this was a good video; although you vocally sounded as if it was a chore a stoic mood. Where then very end of the video you seemed relived it was over.
You can just use that very common item I can’t remember it’s name for bleeds it’s found it trees it’s like a spiked fruit and you can rub it on yourself to stop bleeding.
If you play on the controller your gamepad will vibrate whenever the game plays an important sound cue so you can listen to the music on full and still craft, dodge, attack without issues.
as far as the hysteria thing with the conquering fear. i've used that a bunch in the first stage to get back home and i'm in stage 3 now and haven't really noticed anything because of it. It seems to just be a easy way to get back to your settlement. also one thing i dont see people mentioning alot is that there is a couple different biomes in the game. but i will warn you it gets harder the farther out you go
oh yeah the canyon, beach and desert arent places to live at, the savanna is pretty ruthless so maybe you'd rather moving if your evolution spawns you there, in my case i'm staying because i really like it
tips on only stuff on vid... otherwise this will be a long post to read (it still is very long) 1. u can strip the branch with empty right hand... will be easier n faster than a unaltered rock except for grinder (they dont do shit to sticks) 2. there r specific things to remedy all injuries n poisoning... mushrooms will remedy food poisoning but will upset stomach, drinking coconut water will remedy both food poisoning and upset stomach... there r more for each... some have multiple remedies... MUD HAS 4 I THINK INCLUDING CAMO 3. for u to be able to eat other than fruits ull need a metabolism mutation... ull need an evolution leap to activate the mutated neuron n after that start eating everything u see 4. in the minimap... if one of the adults has a gold cirlce in it... it means its pregnant... either 1 or 2 gold circle beside it means its piggybanked... white accent means u can interacting with the ape...red accents means for adult or elderly is badly injured or interacting with a wildlife.. for babies its the lost ones... pink accent means couple with current ape ur using 5. wen conquering fear... the tiny while circles streaking across is the direction of the conquering circle... be mindfull that this can go through wall n if ur ape is not a wizard ull have to go around like a muggle u r 6. NOT TESTES MYSELF... iv heard that non mutated babies will gain a mutation if its near the meteor discorvery.. try going back home n sleeping if it dont work... n if that dont work then wot i heard is false 7. DONT do a evolution leap after getting the 12 reinforcement points... they dissapear... use them first Im pretty sure after a year most of these will be widely known.. but its still here also @Ryzin has good tips too
Just wanna say I just got this game and was a bit curious about so I figured I’d look it up. Great tips all around and very appreciated thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
Downside of carrying 2 babies at one time, if adult dies from fall or attack, babies cant make others follow so your able to get one to a hiding place but not the other. The 2nd baby got eaten 🙁 . I find making a cple others carry babies aswell as u and have them follow also gives good amount of neuronal energy.
My kid was asking questions just before you mentioned the topic she was asking about, Almost as if she was queuing you, My little mind reader or something.
I would check out my guide because I break down the sound cues you need to listen to. But your main goal is to approach the animal then you will hear a sound cue you will hold the X button on PlayStation then move the left stick in the direction you want to go afterward you'll hear a second sound cue then you will release the x button. If done correctly you would either Dodge or attack the enemy
If anyone was having trouble hearing the sound queue like I was just turn your music down or at like 5 percent. Then turn your master volume down to 20 percent and turn your rtx volume to 100. Then turn your headset volume all the way up
first time playing i ended up eating bird eggs, got sick and the mother of the bird came and killed me. then i ended up on next gen, i went exploring for food and fell out of a tree, broke my leg severly, AND got chased by a green mamba, was able to climb a tree for safety with my broke leg, then i jumped down and almmost got killed by a warthog, but luckily i had a sharp stick in my hand, and killed it. i decided it was time to go back to camp after tht lol
I have to admit that this game is so frustrating that i didn't even want to play it and i really needed some tip and trick to help me to understand the game better and finally some videos youtube.
Thanks for this videos, now I can play this game in a better way, although the sound doesn't matter too much to me as I can still hear the animals approaching as it's default mode
HOW TO FAST TRAVEL TO YOUR CURRENT SETTLEMENT: If you have travelled a long way from your current settlement and you don’t fancy the trek back, you can fast travel back home by finding a creature of some kind (i find a hippo works pretty well as they will just kind of stand there and look at you while your dopamine drains) dodge it’s attacks until all your dopamine drains and you start running around in panic, then stay close to the creature (keep dodging as necessary), and eventually you will go into hysteria. This will send your ape and any babies you have piggybacked back to the safety of your current settlement. Eat to restore your dopamine.
Also, if you’re not particularly confident in your dodging just yet, you can craft a sleep spot, lie down, then go in and out of the evolution menu. This will create an autosave. Now if the unfortunate happens and you are killed by the creature, you can simply press pause straight away, go to the title screen, reload your game and try again.
I made a video showing how to dodge and attack which can be very helpful. One thing you definitely going to want to do is put defenses up at your settlement as soon as you get there. But I almost feel like you have the right idea and just restarting
@Bro Pru indeed. every action in the game is designed to trigger other events or actions. like the universe in all of its scales. surviving is just the right combination of actions/events to progress you forward.
Sabers are the ground version of eagles. If you stay too long on the ground they will spawn, just like eagles attack you out of nowhere if you stay on top of trees for too long. Always know where the nearest tree is if you're on the ground anywhere past the two fishing spots by the river below your starting base. Use a big tree as a temprary base while setting up defenses around a new camp. Have your clan wait in it with tools and things, and go down with one ape to set up fences and sleeping spots. It takes a while to do it like this, but it's definitely safer early on.
I'm stuck right now in the "Orrorin Tugenensis" because, as you know, you craft and the lock that "mature cell", but I'm doing everything, and no new cells are maturing and my "skill" tree is falling behind, I'm just giving birth to a bunch of kids, to receive new mutations, but that's the only way... Is that normal? What kind of grinding do I need to do to get new skills?
the games mechanics are pretty simple once you learn them, its just bloody hard because the game tells you nothing. they force you to figure all this out by yourself.
crafting sgarpened stick is faster if u strip the limbs first (do the same thing except without the rock) or of u have better rocks and habe them sharpened just for those who may not know cause it takes like 25 strikes with a rock to sharpen it, if u strip it first (1 action does all the stripping) then it only takes 15 strikes. u gotta drop and pick up the rock but it's still much faster.
I’m new to the game, just bought it today. When you talked about mating, are you making with your ape, then switching to another to mate with another ape, or are you mating with all females with one male?
I was beginning to wonder when the apes get to use Weapons and tools. I was like 200 Days 1 year in and was like "I really wish these apes could use tools and weapons. lol Thank you for the tips !! I don't know if it's a big tip Not even being able to bash with rocks is annoying. Haha.
Not sure if anyone will see this but....
1. You can use a dead branch and a regular stick to defend yourself. (I've killed a pather with an unsharpen stick just tskes a couple more hits)
2. I have three adult females in my clan and i get everyone pregnant before i push give birth and i give birth to 3 babies at once with only skipping 15 months each time. (30 months in total for all 6 intead of 90 months).
3. While in a fear zone use your intelligence and smelling to scan things you've already descovered to quickly conquer your fear. You dont need to pick them up again.
4. Elders dont not have to conquer fear in new areas.
5. Elder males can still have kids, elder females can not.
6. The more apes you have with you the easier it is to intimate animals. ( I personally don't do this because i find it a hassel keeping track of all of them so they dont die. I usually just run at the animal chasing me. I'm the top of the food chain and i will go out of my way to chase them down to prove it.) Also having a weapon in your hand increases intimation.
7. If you evolve to late you can still lose genetic mutations that say are locked in.
Like i said dont know if anyone will see this but i figured i'd try to help. I have more tips but dont want to ruin the game.
Rzyin do you know if you need to teach other apes to attack? Or do they just figure it out?
@@Cody-xi8iy there is a neuron you unlock that alows ypur other apes to attack. I have it but haven't quite found out how to make it useful. Going to try a hunting ambush party tonight to see if that works
There are skills to unlock which allowed them to dodge and hunt. I had two of them following me and they end up killing a green mamba on their own
I found it hard to get them to attack. I have the skill vut they seemed to only dodge and lose the sharpen stick
you can also use a rock to defend yourself. I accidentally found this out mid-panic when I accidentally grabbed a granite instead of my sharpened stick.
If you’re picking up fruit, make sure, regardless, you inspect it. They will smell it. And based on their reaction, if they do their happy dance, it is safe to eat. If they sound disgusted, drop it on the ground.
yeah I noticed that that's a nice tip
You can also judge by the color of the fruit
They also eat it slower.
Foamy Shablam that sound like racism but for fruits
i just got this game on sale. i just gave the fruit to another ape to eat first lol
the ultimate tip i can give, outside the hidden waterfall, is a thing called "Basalt", its very weak and can break easily, but bash two together and get the chopper, make two one for the base and one for yourself, the chopper is a Godly tool, it chops up dead animals dummy fast, makes sticks into sharpened sticks dumb fast, even without stripping, you can even kill with the chopper alone. Also you can Strip horsetails for medicine or better yet, grind it up in a granite Grinder into paste and it gives you max Blood protection, Grinding up Khat is a super paste and gives you max broken bones and max cold, combo Horse tail paste and khast paste and you will feel powerful
Plus the blue mushrooms paste max poison protection, god tier anaconda killer
Plus the .50 cal in the cave
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to get the fish *off* my stick after I caught it
Lol yeah that just shows you the game really doesn't tell you anything at all
It's more embarrassing I've known there were fishing zones but didn't know i was supposed to use a stick for them until this comment.
I still don't know how too 😂
@@rubberdingrapidz2592 just like sharpening the stick
@@mulberryman1305 thanks 😁
Why did this game get such bad reviews I just baught it 2 days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far
I don't know I'm guessing because of how much repetitive stuff you're doing like mating but that's how the game is and I'm enjoying it too. I find it interesting just going back in time and relearning all the simple stuff
itsme same
In the later game it does get a little stagnant and grindy. If they added more to do in the end game I think it wouldn't have flopped as hard
Because it’s more of an intelligence game than other games tend to be
They never left the waterfall that’s why lmao
Major tip for all: Never go to meteor sites without all your unmutated children. They gain mutations from the meteor and then all 18 of your apes can have useful mutations instead of just 2 per age group
Yeah I noticed that my six kids had genetic mutations when they became an adult which was a nice surprise
@@GamingWithAbyss Ya. Once I figured that out I never had a generation without all having a mutation
When one ape gains a tolerance to more food, from eating everything I see, does that tolerance carry over to all your apes?
How do you progress to the next area I'm still in the first area around the meteor in the swamp.
@@chrisgraham1781 once you conquer your fear in that area you can travel where ever you want
But...but the soundtracks fire
Ha WAS fire 😁
Just use a headset bro. You get both the music and the audio cues just fine.
Pedro Before having a Big Hat the controller vibrates as well as a sound que so just use that and you can listen.
i jam out to that music
Not until it starts changing to drums and you think something is chasing you 🤣
drinking from a coconut will help stomach issues
Thank you for sharing the tip
I wonder if that works in real life lol
The Majestic Bull Dog natural laxative in real life, so basically use but not often. Helps clear the stomach. But can cause serious bowel issues long term.
@@capnace9001 pretty much. great in a short term survival situation but if you are marooned for an extended period itll end up dehydrating you from diarrhea
You forgot to mention that if you use a basalt chopper on a husked coconut and drink it, it gives you a full venom and, what I think is supposed to be food poisoning shield.
Carrying a precious stone makes you brave too. I'm not sure what the limits are on that though. There is an emerald high within the first settlement. You just have to climb the vines towards the back, near the coconut tree, then climb some rocks to the right. It makes a sound when it is nearby and hasn't been picked up yet. I'm not sure how to describe the sound. Not really a ringing sound but, it is very noticeable. Coconut water can also be used to help when poisoned. Mud can be applied for protection from heat and cuts (one full shield each.) In the trees nearby there is a fiber that can be applied to help cure bleeding too. Gathering those kinds of things before you need them would be best. Especially when you could lose a clan member otherwise. At least to bleeding and possibly being poisoned. We learn best by experience 😅
I know I am wildly late to the party, but one huge tip that they don't explain to you is that if you inspect the bones of the dead elders, you get a huge chunk of "experience." You can unlock any nodes that you did not reinforce from the previous generation without any issues at all. Plus, the bones stick around from previous generations and can be reexamined, basically eliminating the need to carry kids out into the field after the third generation.
Can you play with mates ?
@@_matthewbrereton unfortunately not
Play this to see where we started, then play GTAV to where evolution took us lol
Lmao wow how the times have changed
Nathan John no it’s far cry primal
WarLordHype ?
Hmm Huh far cry primal is also like a historical game then I said to him that he could play far cry before gta
I did this with rdr2 the other day hahaha
One important tip you didn't mention is that when you eat or drink your life circle will flash yellow if you're improving that stat. It will give a final green flash when the stat is full then not flash any more. You use this to make sure your ape is fully fed and watered.
Also The black bars closing in from the top and bottom of your screen at 1:05 mean that your ape is very tired. (think of them as eyelids closing) It's extremely dangerous to be out when you're that tired since the chime you use to dodge threats is muted and you probably won't hear it. (sleep in a tree if you have to rather than traveling tired)
Yes very true and is an important tip thank you for sharing
@@GamingWithAbyss I lost an ape because It was very tired and simply It closed it eyes for ever. So be careful.
Don't sleep too high up or an Eagle will kill you.
@@sublineim1 🥺
"don't get too attached"
me over here using the same family for my main ape the entire time......
lol getting biblical in here - or sweet home alabama.
Same here. Don’t feel bad lol. Definitely isn’t good either. My one ape turned into an elder within a couple years of using an adult🤣🤣
This game is amazing. Because it’s different. And a great survival game.
Your spot-on. It's a unique Survivor game and I think that's why I liked it as much as I did
Yeah, I'm glad you dont have to eat and drink every second like a lot of other survival games.
You can alter the horsetail plant and then apply it to your skin when your bleeding
Yes that's right once you make a grinder
@@@GamingWithAbyss There are two different stages. Just with your hand makes a pile of leaves you can apply, and then you can grind that into a paste with the granite grinder. Can't remember the specifics, but the paste is definitely better. Still, if you're out and about it's nice sometimes to be able to do this manually without having to look for granite rocks first.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 I know this is old but I figured I'd drop it here in case it helps anybody else.
Alter horse tails to get horsetail leaves if you're bleeding it will fully get rid of bleeding status. If you're not bleeding it will give small resistance to bleed.
If you use a granite grinder on the horse tail leaves if you're bleeding it will do the same thing as the horse tail leaves, but if you're not bleeding it will apply full bleed resistance; so if you are just trying to get rid of the bleed status there is no need to grind it.
@@kronnie13 helped me.
they added a visual queue in a recent patch so you dont need to listen for it anymore, turn the music back on its phenomenally good
wow that is good to know because you can barely hear it with the music
@@GamingWithAbyss at least on pc, there's a bright flash occurring when you need to release the button so you dont need to listen for the subtle queues, although it doesnt work when comforting a child. it works with everything else though, attacking, crafting etc.
I've actually converted all the sound files to .ogg and i'm in the process of sorting trough them right now. the songs fit really well with the atmosphere i fell in love with the ost
Stomach icon is not food poisoning, it’s inability to process that kind of food due to lack of specific pheromones. Food poisoning is the icon with two bubbles (infection).
I haven’t gotten too far yet: I want to get to the point where I am able to eat meat and fish. Also eggs from that bird that killed the ape in the beginning. That’ll teach him
I just got the game about a week ago and I’m obsessed. I love the concept, I’m having a blast playing. Thanks so much for the tips! Great vid
thank you I appreciate it
@@GamingWithAbyss just brought it, haven’t even dipped into the honey yet, just discovered the banging rocks trick! Self taught everything, away on holidays and can’t play so watched this instead. Can’t wait to go again!
2:08 you can strip the dead branch before sharpening it with the stone to save time
and another tip:
Always take hominid females who have already had 2 children for the expeditions, because their death will not be dramatic since they can no longer have children while the old males can still.

I honestly love the way this game doesn't tell you how to do things specifically. It actually kinda makes you feel as if you were there living in that time
yeah it really makes you think about what would I do back then
@@GamingWithAbyss probably just sit around tbh 😂 don't think anyone would really know what to do
funny how a game that is meant to make you feel like you were living there, makes you feel like you were living there. must be a coincidence
@@inviktus1983 funny how nobody asked asked for your input yet you still gave it. Must be a coincidence
Seeing as how that is quite literally how internet comments work, yes it is a coincidence. Congratulations on the critical thinking.@@fukyoutube-
Khat is a very good plant. It's just arrow head looking leaves that are red. They help with bone breaking and the cold too i think. They are your friends especially when against warthogs or if ur rlly good at swinging around. If i ever see a machairodus tiger then i look for kapok fiber first. Put it in my left hand and my spear in the right so if i fail but dont drop the kapok then i can hide and use it. Cocos can be opened via any rock (basalt choppers are the best more on em later) and can be used when thirsty or to help thirsty ppl. U can get honey by stripping a natal and then dipping a beehive, you use honey to deal with poisoning and 1 more thing i forgot. If you lift a liftable rock you might find mud. This will especially help you in the desert as it gives you heat resistance and some other things i think it conceals your position which lets you sneak up or get near animals without losing dopamine. If you find basalt quickly pick up another and bash them against each other to make a basalt chopper then switch the items and use the basalt chopper to make another chopper. These are your best friends. Wether your tryna sharpen a stick or open a coco these buds will sharpen a dead branch (that you haven't stripped) in 4 maybe 3 hits(faster if stripped). And open a coco in 3. Pretty sure you can open a coconut with this without the coconut breaking. You can also use it as a weapon(prolly most damaging rock) i could prolly keep going but i won't. Basically, get a basalt chopper. You definitely need it! Oh and if you eat things that will give you a stomach ache then just drink coco water or drink alot of fresh water to get rid of this effect, you can repeat this multiple times to help you get omnivorous
As a new player I'd just like to say thx for the content. All information is appreciated, no matter who made it, I thank you all. I have mixed feelings on whether I should watch videos like this or just fumble through the game on my first play and take it from there? Then I saw videos with titles like yours and figured, hehe, damn...I'd better watch some of these and see what they mean. Glad that I did. I realize that the game is intended to be a learning experience. Annnd, I've been learning, hahaha, as ever painful as the lessons may be, lol. I've started over a few times, and it looks like I will again. Having lots of fun with this game, even if it isn't the easiest. Maybe I'm just not that good, hahaha, no worries, either way thx and have fun. High five to all the helpful comments as well ;)
thank you I appreciate it
Most RUclipsrs covering this game seem like they are either playing dumb or are only recording their very first attempts/exploration of the game
Spock The Builder ikr
Yeah cant even find a decent walkthrough...where are all the people who really understand the game?
Oh thank you, i was feeling the same ... What's the point of giving tips on informations that are already explained by the game or actually displayed on the screen ? x) It's hard to find more specific and usefull tips about this game even few years later. Tried to watch a playtrough earlier... that person had no idea what she was doing xD (best exemple: she thought reinforcement points were to use everyday...wtf)
This game def doesn't hold your hand. Thanks for this lol. Someone said get a stick for honey, so thought stick stick, didnt think nettle stick lol
you're welcome
If you identify bones of dead family members after you skip a generation you gain a lot of xp so if you want to skip a few gens to lock in some skills and don’t want to grind xp each time just search some bones around your campsite
Yeah that is something I added on my part 2 video extremely helpful when you want to unlock the rest of the stuff
I went exploring and a tiger ate one of my tribe mates. Then one died of bleeding. Then one died of poison and im all alone.
I found out that the babies don't have any negative effects for losing stamina while climbing. I was actually cornered by a massive cat after my adult died, I had nowhere to go but up a massive cliff face so I started climbing hoping I could reach a ledge. When my green stamina globe was fully depleted it just stayed yellow and it let me keep climbing, so I took full advantage of that and just shimmied my way back home lol. I literally climbed sideways along the cliff on the edge of the map for 5 minutes just so I wouldn't have to risk running into another predator AND I didn't have to rescue the little shit 😂
Coconuts can be peeled with just your hand. Then you can use a basalt chopper to poke a hole in it with one hit for a longer drink than if you just smash the covered nut open with a rock, or use an obsidian scraper to cut it in half and eat the insides. Easily my favorite food source. drinking source and anti-venom source while exploring since I discovered this.
The basalt chopper is my favorite tool. I practically take it everywhere I go
@@@GamingWithAbyss I like to have at least one extra ape with me to carry a chopper and a scraper. But usually I go out with two extra apes, so one can carry backup sticks as well.
Plus you can bring all the kids into jungle hell with three apes, which is clearly the responsible thing to do anyway. Wouldn't want to be attacked by a crocodile without two kids hanging off you.
When you unlock bipedalism, you can run faster by being in alert mode (alert button + sprint button + move forward button)
very true thank you for sharing
Your clan can mass produce sharp sticks if you double tap b for every step. So sastisfying hearing 11 members crafting spears. However if they can't find a stick or stone, they won't make one.

Do you need a specific thing for it? I just have the first mimic one
@@janyxoxo Yeah I think you need to upgrade your perks before you can do this. I think under communication.
i Would HIGHLY recommend turning the music off if you want an extra challenge. A lot of the time, when there is a predator nearby, the game will subtly turn the music off so that it doesn’t distract you from the predator. But spend enough time in the game and you’ll learn to recognise and use those music cut-offs as cues to immediately climb the nearest tree into safety. Having the music off, and not knowing if there is a predator or not around makes the game so much more tense and challenging, I would highly recommend.
the funny thing is at the beginning of the game I turn the music off so that I can hear the sound cues when a Predator is attacking
Game is available on Epic games on sale for $19, AND right now they give you a holiday coupon for $10. So essentially as of now its $9.99.
That's definitely a good deal for the game
Yeah it’s 40$ on PlayStation store.
I just bought it and so far I'm loving it! Though I'm graduating this summer with a physical anthropology minor so maybe I'm just being a biased nerd :P
I bought it exactly during that time
that is such a steal, one of my favorite games this gen already.
Standing up also increases the range of senses!
This is really helpful and spoilers kept to absolute minimum. Thanks!
You're welcome and good luck
An interesting thing would be to play historic games in order of time with this game first.
I guess the next game you would play is Far Cry Primal
Then just play every Assassin’s Creed game chronologically
@@fsmith45 that was my original idea lol
I think the game would be much better and more of a game if you just simply had the ability to initiate attacks to hunt, in stead of stupid dodging and countering… They Could have also made the movement more fluid in stead of stiff with a bad camera angle.
Or at least mods or COOP, with all these problems the game is still OK but it could have been sooo much better
You can lift rocks with dead branches and sticks too
Yes both of those will work as well too
Thanks for this mate... I just got the game and though I would just figure it out....
half an our in I had already poisoned myself, broken bones.. had one guy eaten by a croc... and had no idea how to dodge ( because my music was high )
and all I wanted was to investigate a meterorite... Going to start another playthrough and this will help alot! I love these types of games that don't hold your hand.... but sometimes a few tips are well needed
Literally just happened to me… tell me why when I got to the meteorite there was a boar and a big ass snake surrounding it, took me so long to inspect it, barely made it out alive I was so happy then out of no where a jaguar chewed me up.. not to mention all the broken bones and deaths falling from trees and the worst one was taking a travel companion thinking we would be safer together just to watch him get mauled by a croc
@@crazyfro9520 yea.. this game is brutal 🤣 it gets better though
@@obiwanshinobi87 i love this game it reminds me of greenhell, which I think you would love if you haven’t already played it
Ok guys what I do whenever I go explore I take 2 elders with me in case if I die the elders can take the babies back to camp you gotta think of this game as a survival game to the point where everything you possibly do is a life or death situation I love this game because your always on alert...the reason why I bring 2 elders with me is because we can explore and find a place to live each time I do especially when I realize ok there’s no food here anymore time to move when I find a decent location that will do perfect to live I set up a bed I got back gather everyone up and go to the next location this game is crazy sometimes depending on where you live exactly
When you learn to dodge and attack, you are less likely to die. Unless you fall from a very high height Which I have done that already. I think the only nerve-wracking thing was when moving a settlement to the Savannah. That had me on the edge because my clan members were getting attack left and right.
This game is mad I’m walking on two feet and not scared of any animals. Killed a rhino. Fuck yeah
The same yes as soon as you start walking on two feet and you know how to dodge and attack. Nothing scares me
This video rly helped me i was having trouble with this game at first feeling like i had to restart multiple times to actually get the hang of it and after watching this video i learned a lot of new things i even managed to kill 2 or 3 of the black cats in one day! I felt very good abt myself
Nice work 👍
Spent the first hours as the child trying to make a bed. Then realised you could switch clan members to accomplish this!!
1.You can strip a dead branch to create a stick.
2.Banging a basalt against a rock will create a chopper, this decreases the amount of hits needed to create a sharpen stick.
3. Drinking a coconut or eating mushrooms will help drunkness (Not stomach ache)
4. Animals can climb rocks, but not barricades.
Everyone complains about the game being too hard and not holding our hands enough. All they gotta do is watch ur vids
yeah I got a couple videos like how to attack and Dodge that will definitely help out
NGL I spent my first playthrough making piles and piles and piles of sticks sharpened sticks bedding and stems with no real understanding on why but I felt obligated to do so and if you advance time those piles will stay for the future generations
You dont actually need a rock to make a stik it's a lot more faster to just switch dead branch into your other hand then alter it with your other hand 90% of the time it will turn straight into a stick but you do need a rock to turn it into a pointy stick
yeah but on average the pointed stick can kill in about 1-2 hits maybe 3. I havent seriously tested the stripped stick but it takes more hits to kill something (on average)
@@theyfwkev8266 they’re just saying that it’s easier to strip a dead branch with your hands first and then use a rock to make it pointy since your hands can strip it in one go
Had my eye on this for a while and just bought it on sale…loving every second of it!
I wish I knew the meteorite granted reinforcement points, I was wondering how I had a total of 7. I had one kid on my back when I discovered it
The best part of that is not the reinforcement points. Whenever you take a kid to a meteorite that kid will get a genetic mutation so if you take 6 kids to that meteorite. All six kids will get a new genetic mutation if they don't have one
How did you get to the meteorite I can’t get to it because the giant python is right there and my ape always goes into fear mode so I can’t discover it
@@clapzy417 pick up stick and scream
@@clapzy417 ya you can usually intimidate snakes by yourself. if not, take more apes.
I know this is years later, but amazing job on this guide. I've watched so many other guides that weren't nearly as straight-forward and didn't provide nearly the amount of information.
Aye FYI. The music is just as important in some ways because it notifies what the situation is. If you're in your settlement it'll be a calming mellow type of music but if your in a fight or in dangerous territory it's straight fire
Basicly how i play it now is get 6 kids and once i have learned 6 skils (or more if you find a meteorite) then its time to skip. Then immediately make 6 kids again before you start doing anything. When i go outside camp, i take a few elders with me, all equiped with a stick. When i lost mine, i take theirs and get new sticks.
New clan apes are always close to your settlement.
If you eat in a non conquered zone it will fill up the circle really fast.
You can be the apex predator in no time if you use weapons. First few days i was going trough trees, bubt after the first evolve there is nothing to fear. Haha after killing the first few tigers i said outlloud "i am the danger"
Ooh and there are some really usefull maps on the interwebs.
Most important, dont rush!
Hey man thanks for these tips i just got the game on ps4 and i missed so many things im going to start a new game and try again with ur tips thanks! :)
Yeah there's a lot to learn in this game and they really don't tell you anything. Good luck
I had no idea when they got hysteria they tried to auto run home, so I kept trying to force the monkey in the direction of the white orb haha. Top tip for fast travel to death.
Yeah I use hysteria a lot to fast travel back
I just had a primate die after getting hysteria for the second time.
this is for combat, when in combat and you try to kill something/dodge you have to point the way you want to go so if you wanna kill it/hit it point towards it and when dodging go back, left or right (i found when dodging always go left or right as i am 99% sure if you fail you will bleed less than going back.)
o yea it makes sense if u go back it would be a deep woundd if the predator catches u but it would be a superficial wound if u went to the sides
Thank you, finally a well structured guide!!
You're welcome!
Your Max actually is at 6 children, whenever I leave my settlement I always have 2 adult males carrying 2 children each while I carry 2 children n we explore on. Also don’t skip all the cutscenes cause some areas cause meteors to show up, each meteor allows all 6 children to have genetic mutations so that’s 12 genetic mutations stored over from just 1 evolution. Plus finding 1 meteor cause you to be able to double your nodes. Each generation can have up to 12 nodes that can be saved. Adding to the 6 genetic mutation each generation as well.
I like to err on the side of caution. All mutations stay in camp and 1 kid per adult with enough adults to quickly evacuate ALL kids if something happens. It’s saved me a few times.
I just started playing a few days ago and this guide has helped so much with just the little things you pointed out
Thank you and I have a part 2 video which is a little advance
I'm checking it out right now lol it's making me wanna post another video on my other channel lol
Just started playing this. 3 hours in and enjoying it. Very useful starter tips
Thank you
i really appreciate the fact that you gave us methods without any real spoilers
I try to do my best and not spoiled the game which can be difficult with a tips and tricks guide
Thank you very much. I'd love to see a full gameplay series from you. 😍
just wanna say, if you dont have this game, get it, i havnt been this in love with a game in a long time, i cant keep my mind off it, not for people who need easy and instant gratification, but for those who enjoy a slow playstyle this game is a masterpiece
Yeah the game is definitely unique and I was hooked for some odd reason once I started playing
no it's not.
@@Marcoffs83 yes, it is
Berrys can rotten if u see a berry that’s a different color dont eat it only eat red colored berries in the starter base
I don't know if they are rotten or just not ripe. either or you're right you don't want to eat them
You can inspect them if you aren’t sure, and you’re ape will either let you know that it’s good or turn away from it and that would show that it’s not good.
ik the video is old but i think its important the fact that outside your clan zone the game will always try to find the perfect timing to spawn a tiger programmed to attack you once you pass your first generation or evolution
I fumbled through on my first play, I feel like that’s part of the fun. Now I’m going to start over with what I learned and with tips from videos like this.
Been trying to play this game to entertain my little grandson
I feel like this video has everything I need to know
If you hold the drop button (not while climbing), you can throw stuff. Very useful if you just want to grab a couple coconuts and throw them into your settlement.
You can WHAT???
Regarding Meteorites. You not only get reinforcement points per kid there, ALL those kids who don't have mutations gain a mutation.
Green stomach isnt food poisoning.. its just a bad tummy ache. Water is the fastest way to deal. The two berries showing on the shield there.. if you have that without the shield that's food poisoning. Look up what you need for that but if you are close to potable water, that's the fastest way to deal with that as well vs looking, prepping, using.
You asked if we could add to "Things I wish I knew earlier", I wouldn't know because I wasn't there.
Also this was a good video; although you vocally sounded as if it was a chore a stoic mood.
Where then very end of the video you seemed relived it was over.
You can just use that very common item I can’t remember it’s name for bleeds it’s found it trees it’s like a spiked fruit and you can rub it on yourself to stop bleeding.
Kapok fiber
@@caseyswartzentruber3486 must be that then, hey since you probably know more than me, when you’re at the beach what can you use for bleeds?
@@zerosoldier5302 I've only found one that I recall but Aloe
I like jumping out of trees I get vertigo makes my stomach turn a bit of a rush I like it
Thanks mate! Great advice without spoilering anything 😁
You're welcome and good luck
In this game, pretty much everyone of those tips is a spoiler..
If you play on the controller your gamepad will vibrate whenever the game plays an important sound cue so you can listen to the music on full and still craft, dodge, attack without issues.
as far as the hysteria thing with the conquering fear. i've used that a bunch in the first stage to get back home and i'm in stage 3 now and haven't really noticed anything because of it. It seems to just be a easy way to get back to your settlement. also one thing i dont see people mentioning alot is that there is a couple different biomes in the game. but i will warn you it gets harder the farther out you go
I've been using hysteria a lot and I have not seen anything either.
oh yeah the canyon, beach and desert arent places to live at, the savanna is pretty ruthless so maybe you'd rather moving if your evolution spawns you there, in my case i'm staying because i really like it
Thank you for reviewing Ancestors :D Great video and awesome tips.
you're welcome
tips on only stuff on vid... otherwise this will be a long post to read (it still is very long)
1. u can strip the branch with empty right hand... will be easier n faster than a unaltered rock except for grinder (they dont do shit to sticks)
2. there r specific things to remedy all injuries n poisoning... mushrooms will remedy food poisoning but will upset stomach, drinking coconut water will remedy both food poisoning and upset stomach... there r more for each... some have multiple remedies... MUD HAS 4 I THINK INCLUDING CAMO
3. for u to be able to eat other than fruits ull need a metabolism mutation... ull need an evolution leap to activate the mutated neuron n after that start eating everything u see
4. in the minimap... if one of the adults has a gold cirlce in it... it means its pregnant... either 1 or 2 gold circle beside it means its piggybanked... white accent means u can interacting with the ape...red accents means for adult or elderly is badly injured or interacting with a wildlife.. for babies its the lost ones... pink accent means couple with current ape ur using
5. wen conquering fear... the tiny while circles streaking across is the direction of the conquering circle... be mindfull that this can go through wall n if ur ape is not a wizard ull have to go around like a muggle u r
6. NOT TESTES MYSELF... iv heard that non mutated babies will gain a mutation if its near the meteor discorvery.. try going back home n sleeping if it dont work... n if that dont work then wot i heard is false
7. DONT do a evolution leap after getting the 12 reinforcement points... they dissapear... use them first
Im pretty sure after a year most of these will be widely known.. but its still here
also @Ryzin has good tips too
Be glad you waited for console release. It took us months to figure most of this out when it came out on pc.
Just wanna say I just got this game and was a bit curious about so I figured I’d look it up. Great tips all around and very appreciated thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
Glad I could help!
Downside of carrying 2 babies at one time, if adult dies from fall or attack, babies cant make others follow so your able to get one to a hiding place but not the other. The 2nd baby got eaten 🙁 . I find making a cple others carry babies aswell as u and have them follow also gives good amount of neuronal energy.
My kid was asking questions just before you mentioned the topic she was asking about,
Almost as if she was queuing you,
My little mind reader or something.
future gamer right there 👍
Just bought this game on steam for like $13. It's really good so far and this comment section and video is really helpful haha
thanks man, i really had a difficult time exploring on my own 👍
One of the first things you want to do is learn how to dodge and attack then exploring is no problem at all
@@GamingWithAbyss when you mentionion it now, i follow the on screen prompt, i get injuren all the time, do i miss something
I would check out my guide because I break down the sound cues you need to listen to. But your main goal is to approach the animal then you will hear a sound cue you will hold the X button on PlayStation then move the left stick in the direction you want to go afterward you'll hear a second sound cue then you will release the x button. If done correctly you would either Dodge or attack the enemy
If anyone was having trouble hearing the sound queue like I was just turn your music down or at like 5 percent. Then turn your master volume down to 20 percent and turn your rtx volume to 100. Then turn your headset volume all the way up
yes that will definitely help you out
first time playing i ended up eating bird eggs, got sick and the mother of the bird came and killed me. then i ended up on next gen, i went exploring for food and fell out of a tree, broke my leg severly, AND got chased by a green mamba, was able to climb a tree for safety with my broke leg, then i jumped down and almmost got killed by a warthog, but luckily i had a sharp stick in my hand, and killed it. i decided it was time to go back to camp after tht lol
I have to admit that this game is so frustrating that i didn't even want to play it and i really needed some tip and trick to help me to understand the game better and finally some videos youtube.
Thanks for this videos, now I can play this game in a better way, although the sound doesn't matter too much to me as I can still hear the animals approaching as it's default mode
Glad I could help!
HOW TO FAST TRAVEL TO YOUR CURRENT SETTLEMENT:
If you have travelled a long way from your current settlement and you don’t fancy the trek back, you can fast travel back home by finding a creature of some kind (i find a hippo works pretty well as they will just kind of stand there and look at you while your dopamine drains) dodge it’s attacks until all your dopamine drains and you start running around in panic, then stay close to the creature (keep dodging as necessary), and eventually you will go into hysteria. This will send your ape and any babies you have piggybacked back to the safety of your current settlement. Eat to restore your dopamine.
Also, if you’re not particularly confident in your dodging just yet, you can craft a sleep spot, lie down, then go in and out of the evolution menu. This will create an autosave. Now if the unfortunate happens and you are killed by the creature, you can simply press pause straight away, go to the title screen, reload your game and try again.
My whole tribe died except my 2 babies... should I just leave.... and I'm so sick of tigers spawning near me every fukkin day
I made a video showing how to dodge and attack which can be very helpful. One thing you definitely going to want to do is put defenses up at your settlement as soon as you get there. But I almost feel like you have the right idea and just restarting
SURVIVE
The longer you walk on the ground the more it will trigger lions etc to spawn... I think they hear you
@Bro Pru indeed. every action in the game is designed to trigger other events or actions. like the universe in all of its scales. surviving is just the right combination of actions/events to progress you forward.
Sabers are the ground version of eagles. If you stay too long on the ground they will spawn, just like eagles attack you out of nowhere if you stay on top of trees for too long. Always know where the nearest tree is if you're on the ground anywhere past the two fishing spots by the river below your starting base. Use a big tree as a temprary base while setting up defenses around a new camp. Have your clan wait in it with tools and things, and go down with one ape to set up fences and sleeping spots. It takes a while to do it like this, but it's definitely safer early on.
Fruits and food have different color. Some berries are white and not ripe and will poison you
Another tip
You can strip dead branches with your hands, it’s quicker than doing it with a rock
Thank you for making this video helped me a lot
You're welcome!
You can strip the stick of the other branches before sharpening without the rock to save time
Yeah it will cut the time down in half
I use the basalt cutter. It’s the easiest way I’ve found
I'm stuck right now in the "Orrorin Tugenensis" because, as you know, you craft and the lock that "mature cell", but I'm doing everything, and no new cells are maturing and my "skill" tree is falling behind, I'm just giving birth to a bunch of kids, to receive new mutations, but that's the only way... Is that normal? What kind of grinding do I need to do to get new skills?
the games mechanics are pretty simple once you learn them, its just bloody hard because the game tells you nothing. they force you to figure all this out by yourself.
Coconut is used for upset stomach.
Yeah so far coconuts, water and sleep
Also honey
crafting sgarpened stick is faster if u strip the limbs first (do the same thing except without the rock) or of u have better rocks and habe them sharpened just for those who may not know cause it takes like 25 strikes with a rock to sharpen it, if u strip it first (1 action does all the stripping) then it only takes 15 strikes. u gotta drop and pick up the rock but it's still much faster.
I’m new to the game, just bought it today. When you talked about mating, are you making with your ape, then switching to another to mate with another ape, or are you mating with all females with one male?
Thx. Great tips.
No problem!
If youre injured, you can climb a tree to the top, there is a leaf at the top when you apply it you heal yourself !!!
I was beginning to wonder when the apes get to use Weapons and tools. I was like 200 Days 1 year in and was like "I really wish these apes could use tools and weapons. lol Thank you for the tips !! I don't know if it's a big tip Not even being able to bash with rocks is annoying. Haha.
