This tip has already been told alot, but get the golden fast travel pack. Also, if you have the dlc, get the bows right away. It will be kinda hard, but push through the scorchers. If you are hunting for bluegleam, scorchers are about the hardest thing you'll face. Get the bluegleam map. Also, for regular gameplay, buy wood bundles once you have plenty of sparkers. This will help you resource wise alot. Also, while a thunderjaw is threatening, it isn't that scary. Go for the disk launchers, then the little lazer pew pewers which are mounted on the face, then destroy face and side armor. Freeze it if possible, or try to burn it. Then continue with either regular arrows or hardpoint arrows. Freeze/burn, hit with arrows, repeat.

Pro tip: Use slide (Run+square) and at the end of a slide do a roll (O) to have maximum movement efficiency

Here are another few tips. When dealing with human opponents, always try to take a stealthy approach. This will give you a serious advantage. Not only that, but when dealing with human opponents in stealth mode, aim for the head. It's an instant kill. If you've lost stealth, use your spear, always! Since humans are smaller than machines, they're harder to hit. So, use your spear and run right up to them. Also, at bandit camps, find Nil outside of the camp, somewhere nearby! He can be a great help when taking down a bandit camp. (Not only that, ladies, but he's also an effin' snack!) When faced with Stalkers (machines that can become invisible), you'll know by a few things. One, are there little red lights on the ground where there shouldn't be? If so, AVOID THESE AT ALL COSTS. These will alert Stalkers to your position and will lure them over. Two, listen to the environment around you. Splashing with nothing in sight? Mechanical footsteps and whirring with the nearest machine sight several mesas away? Growling behind you? Start swinging or start hiding. Immediately. Three, look around for moving blue lights or discoloration. While a Stalker can become invisible, its glowing lenses don't become invisible. It's stealth shield sometimes discolors in response to what's around it. Therefore, they can be spotted. When battling a Stalker, always be sure to take out its stealth generator (orange component on its side, shaped like a gun holster) first. A Stalker's strength is its stealth. After you take out that component, they're fairly easy to bring down. I hope this helped someone!

Try to hunt as many foxes as possible. You will get a fox skin. Save it, trade fix skin, meat with trader around meridean and get unlimited fast travel pack.

Tip: At the beginning of the game you fall through a cave you can go back to that cave once your a woman and in that there will be lots of useful resources and a metal flower which I initially thought it was a bomb!

I went to GameStop looking for a fun, brand new RPG I knew nothing about, and the nice employee I see frequently suggested this game. I decided to give it a chance and it was worth every penny. 👍👍👏👏I even thanked him when I stopped by again. I was amazed for hours. The story, the quality, everything is fantastic.

Very simple tip but striders tend to travel in packs, when you come across one instead of attacking them individually use a fire arrow on ones canister and the explosion will kill the surrounding pack, this is a really effective beginners tip for gaining recourses

I'm glad to see there's still so many people finding this game and starting for the first time. It's so amazing, I'm doing another playthrough now, after leaving it long enough to forget some of the details of the main story. I can't wait to see the end again.

4 years later I am impressed with your legendary commentary pls never stop

[electricianowner]

Good video, thank you! One tip I found useful for gaining excess shards is going to the hunting ground with all the grazers and blowing up all the grazers with fire arrows, then starting a hunt, then talk to the keeper again and canceling it. This restores all the grazers and blow them up again and gather the loot. I repeat this process until I am satisfied with the number of shards I have

One thing that could hve been mentioned during the upgrading of satchels is the create job. By doing so, it creates an errand quest to track what items you need to do the upgade or purchase. then when complete tells you to upgrade the satchel, craft the item, or go to vendor to make the trade.
