This guide is recommended if you’re new and want to know some of the basics towards handling combat. Learn about your character’s stats, how enemies work, combat controls, and so on to benefit your survival.
Character Statistics
The following information is provided to help you understand and manage your health and lives effectively.
Your health is represented by the red meter located to the left of your map, accompanied by an additional meter indicating the equipped armor. This meter reflects your proximity to death and the possibility of a game over. Various factors, such as enemy attacks, burns, and falls from heights, can deplete your health. Starvation and dehydration are not lethal unless enabled through custom settings or on Hard Survival difficulties.
Instant recovery of health is not possible; it can only be regenerated gradually by using healing items. The following are examples of items that can restore your health:
- Medicine Pills or “Meds” (found in containers)
- Health Herbal Mixes (crafted using natural resources)
- Consuming food (certain types of food provide more significant healing)
When your health is sufficiently low, a small portion will automatically regenerate over time.
If your health reaches zero, the outcome will differ depending on whether you are in singleplayer or multiplayer mode.
- In singleplayer, your character will lose consciousness and awaken in a tied-down state. You must free yourself and retrieve your items, which will spawn nearby. This serves as a second chance at survival. لكن, if you die again on the same day, you will permanently die and need to restart from a saved point.
- In multiplayer, your character will become downed. If another player is in close proximity, they can revive you on the spot. If you bleed out or choose to give up, you will respawn similarly to singleplayer, tied down without your items. In multiplayer, لكن, you have an unlimited number of lives, so you will never face a game over scenario.
Adjacent to the map, you will find a blue meter representing your stamina. Stamina determines the number of physical actions you can perform before becoming fatigued, such as weapon swings and sprinting. When exhausted, your character will be unable to run or wield their weapon effectively, leaving you weaker and more vulnerable. لذلك, it is crucial to monitor your activity closely.
Vitality refers to your maximum stamina capacity and is influenced by factors such as nourishment, hydration, and energy (indicated by the blue dots above the stamina meter). Constantly maintaining maximum vitality is impractical, but it is advisable to keep it as high as possible, especially when engaging in combat, to enhance your capabilities.
The red muscle dot located above the health bar and map represents your strength progress. Engaging in certain physical actions, like swinging a weapon, increases your strength meter. Upon reaching its maximum, your strength will “مستوى أعلى,” resulting in an increase in your maximum health before resetting. As time progresses, leveling up becomes more challenging, but the expanded health capacity can be highly advantageous.
By utilizing the advanced cooking system, you can prepare various soups that provide nutrition and, in some recipes, special buffs. These buffs include accelerated strength gain, increased melee damage, and stealth bonuses. Some recipes offer more potent versions of these buffs, although their effects always have a limited duration. The buffs and their durations will be displayed as yellow dots to the right of your map.
أسلحة & ضرر
To engage in combat effectively, you can utilize various attack techniques to surpass your enemies. While not overly complex, these attacks can be mixed and matched strategically.
Performing light attacks involves pressing the attack button, while holding down the button allows you to execute heavy attacks. The nature of a light or heavy attack may vary depending on the weapon you wield.
بالإضافة إلى ذلك, a downward strike can be performed by looking down and utilizing a heavy attack, which proves particularly advantageous against downed enemies.
The speed at which you approach an enemy while executing an attack can significantly boost the damage you inflict. Jumping and performing running attacks can be particularly helpful in this regard. (نصيحة: If you manage to deal sufficient damage, it may overwhelm the enemy, causing them to stagger or even be knocked over.)
Certain weapons can also be thrown, requiring you to hold the aim button before releasing the throw. Examples of throwable weapons include spears, small rocks, and explosives. (نصيحة: When using a spear, it is more effective to throw it during combat for damage rather than relying on it for melee strikes.)
When examining melee weapons, you will notice three meters indicating their stats. Here is the meaning of each meter from top to bottom:
- سرعة: Represents the swinging speed of the weapon. (ملحوظة: Momentum increases with each swing.)
- ضرر: Indicates the amount of health or armor reduced with each successful hit.
- Block: Reflects the extent of damage reduction to your stamina or health when blocking attacks.
It is worth noting that each weapon requires a different amount of stamina to swing. Although the in-game values are not displayed, it can be assumed that lighter weapons consume less stamina, while heavier weapons demand more.
Different types of damage can have specific effects based on the weapons used. Here are some examples:
- صريح: Blunt weapons, like clubs, do not appear to possess any special effects.
- Sharp: Bladed weapons have a chance to sever limbs or the head of human enemies.
- Stab: Headshots with guns, spears, or bows can instantly kill unarmored or heavily injured enemies.
- Explosive: Explosions can either tear enemies within the blast radius to shreds or inflict significant damage.
- Fire: Setting an enemy on fire causes continuous damage over time and can even distract the target.
- صدمة: With the appropriate weapon, you can temporarily stun or incapacitate an enemy by delivering an electric shock.
Protecting Yourself
Understanding how blocking, parrying, and armor function is essential for effective combat.
Blocking plays a crucial role as it prevents the player from taking damage from most melee hits. لكن, blocking alone does not protect against effects like being set on fire or knocked over. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, when unarmored, blocking must be timed before attacks land, or you will have to either retreat or endure the hits.
While blocking and facing an incoming attack, you can negate the damage that would have affected your armor or health. Each hit you block will consume stamina, and certain weapons offer better blocking capabilities than others. It is important to time your blocks appropriately.
It’s important to note that you cannot cancel your attacks. If your character is in the midst of swinging a weapon and about to be hit, you won’t have the opportunity to block or parry the incoming attack.
Parrying, على الجانب الآخر, involves tapping the block button. When perfectly timed just before being hit by a melee attack, regardless of the enemy or their move, you will completely avoid damage from that attack. Mastering the art of parrying can be an incredibly useful skill.
لكن, parrying requires precise timing. If you fail to execute a successful parry, you will be left vulnerable for a brief moment and will likely have to absorb the full impact of the attack if it is unavoidable. Your character needs a moment to prepare for the parry, so pay attention to when an enemy’s attack is about to land and time your parry within the narrow window.
نصيحة: It’s generally best to parry about a second after an enemy starts winding up their attack.
When you successfully parry the attack of a regular human enemy, they will be stunned, giving you an excellent opportunity to retaliate or prioritize other enemies. لكن, while you will remain undamaged, parrying will not affect other enemies. Particularly during multi-hit attacks, it is advisable to create distance and use parry sparingly to save yourself from the initial blow.
Armor operates in a straightforward manner: each individual piece acts as bonus health. You can equip up to 10 armor pieces simultaneously, and they will absorb damage until they are depleted before affecting your character’s health. If all your remaining armor pieces are broken by a hit, any excess damage will directly reduce your character’s health.
نصيحة: Armor prevents your character from staggering due to attacks but does not protect against fire, fall damage, or being knocked down.
Armor can only be crafted using resources found in the game world, with some types obtained from specific enemies. Generally, better armor requires more valuable or harder-to-find resources. Unlike armor, most clothing items do not affect the damage you take.
نصيحة: Leaf Armor is the weakest but provides a stealth bonus per piece and is the easiest to craft.
Know Your Enemy
The game and its predecessor are renowned for their sophisticated programming of the cannibalistic inhabitants you encounter. These inhabitants exhibit advanced behavior, with each individual possessing unique needs, personalities, relationships with others, والأهم من ذلك, their own feelings towards you, ranging from fear and hatred to curiosity and more.
Their actions are influenced by your own, but ultimately they act autonomously. You might frighten one of the natives by displaying the severed head of their deceased comrade, or you might provoke their tribe and ignite a full-fledged war. Besides killing and attacking them, they also take offense when their territory is tampered with. Naturally, your invasive presence will lead to a negative reputation, particularly as their hunger grows. لكن, you can attempt to prevent tensions from escalating too quickly. (نصيحة: If you’re just starting out, refrain from attacking every individual you encounter, as this might buy you time to prepare, establish a base, and learn about the situation peacefully.)
The longer you remain on the island, the more acquainted they become with you, and the more prepared they are to confront you. They will start donning armor similar to yours, assemble larger groups on your territory, and you may even encounter their most formidable leaders and fighters with increasing frequency. As you evolve, so do they, and it becomes challenging to stay ahead of their actions. لذلك, exercise caution in your engagements, know when to avoid them, and defend yourself and the territory you claim as you fight for survival.
There are various enemy variants with whom you will inevitably interact on their land. To effectively deal with them, it is essential to familiarize yourself with their identities, appearances, و, most importantly, the best strategies to employ. Different factions inhabit the island, each with a diverse array of enemies, and only a portion of them resemble humans.
These different enemies possess both unique and shared weaknesses. Some weaknesses may be objective, such as vulnerable spots like their head or knee, while others may be related to their personalities, such as cowardice or the emotional impact of witnessing the death of a loved one. You can choose to be as merciless as you want, although the outcomes may vary, both positively and negatively, for you.
Certain enemies are larger, stronger, and less humanoid than others. It is crucial to exercise caution and make adequate preparations when confronting them, as they are more relentless and less susceptible to vulnerabilities. لكن, all enemies have some form of weakness, so remain vigilant and don’t hesitate to experiment and discover the most effective strategies. Just ensure that you remain alert and do not let your guard down in the process.
Additional Tips & معلومات
When it comes to combat in the game, you’ll have the option to engage in either melee or ranged combat, depending on your preference and playstyle. Here is a comparison between the two:
Melee Combat:
- Does not require ammo: Melee weapons are always available for use without the need to worry about running out of ammunition.
- Allows blocking and parrying: Melee combat provides the ability to block and parry incoming attacks, reducing or avoiding damage.
- Costs considerable stamina: Engaging in melee combat consumes a significant amount of stamina, so managing your stamina is important.
- Requires risk-taking: Melee combat often involves getting up close and personal with enemies, which carries inherent risks.
نصيحة: When engaging in melee combat, exercise caution, try to avoid or block incoming attacks to increase your chances of survival.
Ranged Combat:
- Does not cost stamina: Using ranged weapons, such as firearms or bows, does not consume stamina, allowing for sustained long-range attacks.
- Safer option: Ranged combat provides the advantage of keeping a distance from enemies, reducing the immediate threat to your character.
- Cannot block or parry: Unlike melee combat, ranged combat does not offer the ability to block or parry incoming attacks, so positioning and evasive maneuvers are crucial.
- May run out of ammo: Ranged weapons rely on ammunition, so it’s essential to keep track of your ammo supply to avoid being caught without means of attack.
نصيحة: Always maintain an adequate supply of ammo for your preferred ranged weapons.
Traps and Gadgets:
In addition to weapons, you have access to traps and gadgets that can aid in your defense. Traps are stationary and are more effective for base defense rather than direct combat. Gadgets, such as bombs, can be used strategically but require precise timing and aiming. You can also utilize items to lure enemies or deter them with specific messages. Embrace your creativity and experiment with these alternative options.
Partners in Combat:
Having an extra set of hands in combat can be incredibly powerful. Whether it’s playing with real-life friends, teaming up with strangers in multiplayer, utilizing in-game companions, or even manipulating enemies to fight on your side, having allies can provide valuable assistance in dispatching common enemies. Work together, coordinate your actions, and thrive in any battle scenario.
يتذكر, the choice between melee and ranged combat, as well as the utilization of traps, gadgets, and partners, ultimately depends on your playstyle and preferences. Explore different strategies, adapt to the situation at hand, and discover what works best for you in your journey to survive and thrive on the island.
