It sounds like I’m supposed to write changelog here, but instead I’ll just use it to explain the new contents and tips for the recent update.

  • Spirit of Amazonia Part 2: Electric Bogaloo is up. Load your first part’s latest save to continue from where you left off
  • Go to the isolated cave at the north east part of the map, that should be where you start part 2
  • I’ll take some time playing it. The guide will have step by step guidance and of course, the complete map

New things from the update

  • A new enemy type
  • Couple of new animals
  • And another little things. It’s not much but the entire new chapter is already a gift

Survival 101: How to not Die & other useful Tips

Early Survival Tips
  • Make an axe as soon as you start the game (1 rock + 1 wood stick)
  • Easy Firestarter recipe: 2 stick + 2 rope
  • Build a shelter as soon as you found a clearing, it is the only way to save your game
  • Don’t drink dirty water unless you have spare cuppy/soursoup to counteract the parasite. It’s not lethal but it can get annoying when you’re running around looking for cure.
  • Leave out coconut halves in the open so when it rain, it will collect the rainwater (the rainwater is safe and drinkable)
  • Use the compass and write down the coordinate of your base so that you can find your way back to your base.
General Tips
  • You can harvest a large rock for smaller rocks by right clicking it for more option
  • Large item that can’t be put into inventory can be put for crafting either by dragging from the ground it or right clicking it for more options
  • The magnifying glass on your status bar shows that there are unresolved diseases and wound on your body, it is very useful on telling you that there are leeches in your body
  • If something leads to your death, don’t do it again
  • Manage your sanity, keep it above by eating cooked meat, resting in shelter, and standing near a campfire
  • Cut off plants (not banana or palm) and leave the leaves to dry off into usable tinder
  • Don’t throw away rotten food, there might be edible grubs that you can find by harvesting rotten food
  • You’re not a cow, don’t eat leaves
  • If it looks poisonous, it probably is (Congrats on having functional Instinct)
  • Watch out for your sanity, Its don’t starve tier and can actually spawn monster that will kill you
  • Don’t poke the wasp nest, instead throw rock or axe from a distance to collect those delicious honey. Someone pointed out that you can put up a torch to scare get them to buzz off (which actually works on ants too)
  • If you get attacked by a jaguar, don’t run (you’ll just be out of stamina by the time it catches up) Instead challenge it by beating em with spear
  • Green frog = good, Blue frog = bad. Seriously, not ♥♥♥♥*ng worth it, avoid these guys if pos
  • You get ash and charcoal from burnt out campfire. Ash can be used to make a high quality bandage, while charcoal can be eaten to filter out food poisoning or be made into a water filter.
  • Medium shelters can only save and demands you to build a bed afterward, but the smaller shelter are not only easier to craft, it provides a little bit of both. The shelter quality are related to chances of getting a disease when you sleep.
  • Roasted Meat restore sanity and energy when eaten, you can eat as many and hunt as many to fill up your sanity meter
  • Cheapest way to raise your sanity up is to hunt/fish as many animal as you can (rattlesnake don’t count) and roast their meat then eat them as each roasted meat adds 5 or more sanity and you need to have over 50 sanity to be considered sane
  • If you are in a cave and hears a crackling sound, watch your step as there may be a scorpion lurking
  • Carbs will later become the hardest resource to manage as it will force you to move from camp to camp in order to find more of this nutrient
  • As you do things such as chopping wood or throwing spear, your skill increases and its progress can be seen in the notebook. Your skill will decides how fast, strong, accurate, or durable your equipment will become
  • There is weights now, watch out for when carrying meat from large critters, because each piece weights around 4Kg. Thankfully your main character must be a veteran marine because he can carry 50Kg of weight everywhere he goes
  • Armor specifically reduce chances getting bled when attacked and reduce some percentage of damage directly. Better armor will eventually becomes superior when your crafting skill is high, try to use simple ones first like a stick/bone armor, then work up to armadillo/iron
  • Spear are powerful and can be thrown quicker than a bow. But bow have more ammo that you can bring with you.
  • Iron tool exist. You can start by looking for iron ore in most caves and smash that mf veins till it drops some iron ores. One thing to know is that quality tool only scales up the durability (not efficiency) you should only start using steel
  • You can get dirty, right click on river to open option to wash yourself. If you eat while dirty, you might get ill. Also clean yourself again after removing the dirt cause you actually have an additional hidden dirtiness value which are basically an extra layer of protection against dirt
  • Charcoal Oven will let you make lots of charcoal (for the forge), you just have to fill in as many wood sticks into the kiln as you could and then start it up.
  • If you need ash for mudworks or bandages, try harvesting charcoal for ashes. You get much more charcoal per campfire.

Green Hell’s Safe Valley with its coordinate. Tribals doesn’t normally spawn here, unless you left your base without extinguishing your fire.

Anthropologist Guide to the Indigenous people of Amazon

General Tactics
Follow these easy* steps and you will win any fight
1. Hit (with spear or axe)
2. Immediately put up your block with “R”
3. Repeat the steps
*it’s not as easy as it sounds and you will probably fumble on your first tries

Combat Tips!

  • BLOCK! You won’t win any combat if you don’t know blocking (less you play as stealth archer)
  • Tribals no longer invade your house unless you left a campfire lit while going away or sleeping. Note that the fire based spawn only happen if you leave your camp while a fire is lit. The tribal will not spawn this way if you attend to your camp.
  • You can’t never befriend any of the tribals (you’re not playing the Forest) yet so feel free to go Columbus on them
  • If a tribal sees you and runs away, you better chase after him or he will return to your base in group
  • Use spear to fight off tribal, other weapon will risk you getting in their knife range
  • Take distance between melee tribal, their knife is short but you’re more likely to die from bleeding because bandages are rare and banana leaf bandage from the trailer isn’t implemented yet
  • Avoid sprinting toward them because it can waste your stamina too early, use your stamina to dodge, block, or attack them
  • Don’t charge at tribal if they are also charging, charge is effective on archers since they cant fight back at melee and when they swap their weapon, use this opportunity to shank them
  • Flawed pathfinding AI allows you to cross natural log bridge to lose your tail as enemies cannot use the bridge themselves
  • If you got ambushed by a tribal in group of two and survived, then you better move your base as the next one will be in a group of three, then four.
  • DONT FU*KING EAT HUMAN MEAT OR EVEN STEW IT. IT WILL INSTANTLY PUT DOWN YOUR SANITY (the bone is alright tho)
  • You can safelty kill tribals from distance without even provoking them using bow and arrows which are easy to craft, but you cannot do it with low stamina since drawing bow without skill will take at least half of your stamina. Headshots can kill them in one hit even at low skill
  • Obsidian Spear has the highest damage and can kill tribals in four or less hit
  • Blocking while backing off is the best defense from melee attack
  • If you are good at first person archery, then try to snipe them for a headshot from afar when they are unaware.
  • Tribal archer has significantly less health than melee warrior, they would give support to melee attackers but can accidentally hit and kill their friend if you angle your position just right
  • Tribals will attack your base if they can’t reach you so try to use this to your advantage
  • Combat are much more focused on where you hit em. I managed to took down a tribal archer in one hit by shooting my arrow in their head
  • A tribal may spawn with a spear, their weakness is strafing to the side just like archers and as always, try to anticipate their attack and time your block properly.
  • Tribals sometimes imitates bird sounds, which should be very noticable by you. Possibly to alert their mates

Forging Step-by-Step

How to start making that iron from scratch

  • Prepare the following: An axe, Campfire ash, and source of water for the muds, and lots of charcoals.
  • Go to any nearest cave and look for an iron deposit (it will be light brown-ish). Some iron deposit are depleted but some are not. The mineable iron will have a filled cracks, mine that with an axe.
  • To build a forge, you will need a mud brick, mudbrick which are made in the mud mixer.
  • Once you built a mud mixer, put some mud collected at the river, put a campfire ash, and then fill it with water till it full. Work on the mixer to make the bricks.
  • You’ll now have 6 mud brick (you make 6 each batch). You can now craft the mud forge.
  • After you are done building the forge, put the iron ore on the lower slot, and several charcoals in the upper slot. Turn the forge on like you would with a campfire.
  • Yep thats it, you can pick up the melted ore and create tools by using molds (mud brick harvest)

Amazonian Cookbook

Stewin’ vs Roastin’: Roasting food takes time (especially on high quality meats), stewing are done very quickly, the downside is that you can’t bring your stew for travel
Dryin’ vs Smokin’: Smoking are done faster than drying but smoking requires a lit campfire, the smoker will also prevent the campfire from being extinguished by rain. Dried/Smoked food last 3 times longer. Some plants can also be dried for surpising result

The Ultimate Bone Soup (and making soup in general)
  • Create a Small Campfire
  • Drag or put coconut halves (aka. coconut bowl) on one of its two slot
  • Make sure it’s filled with water
  • Drag a piece of bone into the bowl
  • Turn on the campfire
  • Wait until it is boiled, then feel free to consume it
Boiled Water
  • 1 Coconut canteen full of water
  • Put 2 coconut bown on each side of the campfire for maximum effectiveness
  • Pour the water to each of the bowl
  • Boil for a few minutes
  • Use a second coconut canteen if you want to collect the water
Antivenom Infusion
  • 1 Bowl of water
  • 1 Purple flowered/heart leaved herb or Tobacco leaves
  • Boil for a few minutes
Fever Infusion
  • 1 Bowl of water
  • 1 Amara Flower (big bush with red flower)
  • Boil for a few minutes
  • Definitely take a rest if fever still presist
Antiparasitic Infusion
  • 1 Bowl of water
  • 1 Cup shaped mushroom or Soursoup fruit
  • Boil for a few minutes
  • Kill more parasite than if eating the shroom raw
Meat Stew
  • 1 Piece of any fresh meat
  • 1 Bowl of water
  • Boil the meat like usual
  • More nutritious and cooks very quick, use this to mask the sanity reducing effect of eating insects

Green Hellbarium: Good & Bad Plants

Guide about plants on this game, i included its common name for my own amusement. The name i put may be innacurate but the description should fit the game

Foodstuffs
  • Red Cup Shaped Shroom: Cure Parasite and satiates a little amount of carbs, known as scarlet cup
  • Brown oyster mushroom that glows green at night: Small carbs but is safe, is listed as two different mushroom in the notebook despite of being the same mushroom, commonly known as ghost mushroom
  • Blue tree shroom: Lots of fatigue boost, The mushroom is called Indigo Blue Leptonia and it provides the highest amount of energy of all plants.
  • Umbrella shaped shroom: similar shape as above’s above, this mushroom is called liberty cap and they are what we commonly refer to as magic shroom due to its psychedelic effect
  • Ball-headed white-skirted mushroom aka. Stinkhorn: Edible if stewed or dried first, cause food poisoning (I learnt it the hard way). Sometime spit out gas (actually its spore) when harvested.
  • Yellow tomato-looking Fruit: Good for carbs and hydration. Is called cocona if i am not mistaken, might actually just a wild tomato
  • Cassava (Big brownish whiteish bulb): High carbs, basically an oversized potato, cook/boil it first because it will give food poisoning if eaten raw
  • Heart of Palm (From cutting medium palms that has reddish spot on its upper base): High carbs
  • Palm tree nuts: Alternative source of Fats, always spawn in pair.
  • Banana: Good carbs, can be collected in pods of two to five
  • Brazilian Nut: Drops from the same tree that has blue shrom, Uber rare item but you can craft fishing rod with its shell. In appearance it looks pale and small.
  • Green spiky fruit: Okay carbs, also cure parasites. It’s a soursoup you all may recognize (Guanbana fruit in-game) and is actually pretty commonly cultivated fruit.
  • That green cassava looking scaly bulb you get from a hole leafed fern: Doesn’t give food poisoning anymore, Infact it gives good amount of protein and energy when eaten raw. based on info in the wikipedia, you’re supposed to dry it out until its scale falls off but you can’t dry it in-game so disregard that.
  • The same flower from the same fern that is the above bulb in its blossom form: Also gives you food poisoning regardless. This fern is named as the “monster” plant but more commonly named as swiss cheese plant due to it’s holed leaf.
  • Jungle Potato: This plant has been in-game since alpha, yet I only noticed it recently when looking around the above plant. This plant has a small yellow leaves and appears similarly to cocona. When being destroyed, there is a small chance that you get a potato bulb from it.
  • Cave mushroom thing: This mushroom dehydrates you a lot but can cure fever which makes it the only food that can instantly cure fever without needing to be cooked. Added recently in the Spirit of Amazonia Patch. This mushroom is named Marasmius Tageticolor.
Medicinal
  • Banana Leaves: You can also make bandage out of it (But you actually can’t yet, but I just want to remind you that the developer intended for you to be able to make banana leaf dressing but still haven’t got to it)
  • Molineria leaves: Can be made into bandage, know by its yellow flower, is easier to find by looking for its distinctively shaped leaves
  • Tobacco Leaf: Cure venom if made into bandage or stewed
  • Quassia Amara flower: (looks like cassava plant but has spear shaped flower): used for fever reducing stew. A famous decodition against malaria (once it gets into the game)
  • Heart leafed purple flowered herb: Cure venom like tobacco plant but can only be eaten or stewed. Its common name is Plantain Lily or specifically for this peculiar herb: wide brimmed hosta
  • Water Lily Flower: Found on small blue ponds, cure food poisoning
  • Herb with Purple flower and purple leaves: The leaves treats food poisoning but the flower gives food poisoning. Possibly a purple sage or something else within the salvia flora group

Wildlife Conservation Handbook

Below are the list of the native wildlife within the amazon jungle. I will only list and explain all of the animal encountered within the game alongside with startegy on how you can find them.

Mammals

Mammals are your best source of nutrient and can easily found anywhere within the game, importantly, their meat provides fats alongside with high protein. Remember that damage depends on which bodypart so shot to the head does more damage than the flank

  • Jaguar: Medium quality meat; Dangerous, but can be one hit with a spear headshot from a distance
  • Puma: Medium quality meat; Also Dangerous, but can also be one hit with a spear headshot. Their sound are rather different, sounding much more gory
  • Capybara: Highest quality meat; Best hunt by spear
  • Peccary: High quality meat; Best hunt by spear
  • Tapir: High quality meat; Best hunt by spear
  • Armadillo: High quality meat; can be killed by spear
  • Three Banded Armadillo: Medium quality meat; You can just chase without needing to attack them them and they will prostate themself for you to butcher
  • Mouse: Low quality meat; Often caught in small trap or manually if you have the time
Fish

Fish are very easy to hunt and fish traps often provided catches, but they do not provide fats when cooked

  • Aronawa: Medium quality meat: found on most freshwater lakes, can be speared
  • Stingray: Medium quality meat: found only on the oasis and safe valley, can be speared
  • Angelfish: Okay quality meat: found everywhere, cannot be caught with spear
  • Discus: Okay quality meat: found everywhere, cannot be caught with spear
  • Piranha: Low quality meat: found everywhere but safe valley pond, can be speared
  • Peacock Bass: Low quality meat: found everywhere, can be speared
Insects

Insect provides little nutrition and gives penalty to sanity, However, you can use their burnt meat to make ash bandages

  • Goliath Birdeater Tarantula: low quality meat: Found on the jungle usually nearby giant trees, listen for crackling sound to know if it is near
  • Brazillian Wandering Spider: Very low quality meat, venomous so watch out for crackling sound
  • Scorpion: Low quality meat, Found inside caverns, and will make scraping sound similar to the tarantula
  • Wasps: Nest can be broken with stone or axes for honey, will give rash if you get too near unless you approach it with a lit torch
  • Rainforest Ants: You can try to carefully approach it with torch to collect the ants, but getting too near will give you rashes. The ants itself cannot be eaten in any way and only used to close laceration wounds
  • Maggots: found on dead carcass and harvested from rotten meat, used to treat infections or as a fishing bait
  • Larva: found on dead tree stumps or rotten vegetatives, can be stewed, but mostly used as fishing bait
  • Worms: will inject itself to your body if you sleep in low quality bed, but can inject into you regardless on hard difficulty. You will need to use sharp needles to remove it and bandage the wound. Is mention by dev to actually be a botfly larva rather than actual worm.
  • Leech: will occasionally latch onto your body and you will have to remove it, annoying but not really that dangerous
Reptiles
  • Black Caiman: Strongest most dangerous animal so far, This giant crocodile can smack a huge chunk of your health in a lunge. Thankfully they “growls” very loudly and walks slowly, best way to avoid them is to walk away from water. They are also very resillient as a spear throw won’t kill them immediately, so bring a bow with you
  • Green Iguana: Medium quality meat: Can be caught on small traps, but you can run after it as it doesn’t move that much fast
  • Caiman Lizard: Medium quality meat: Spawns sometimes in place for iguana. has blue-green-red colouring on its spine
  • Rattlesnake: Low quality meat, found on stationary position and will not move around other than rotating, throw your spear from close quarter, two rock throws seems to be enough too
  • Red Footed Tortoise: Medium Quality meat, can be butchered after attacking it once. Has turtle shell which is a good quality bowl (25 capacity)
  • Prawns: low quality meat, caught in large number from prawn traps
Other
  • Macaw: Medium quality meat: Mostly found dead lying on the ground but can be easily shot using bow and arrow when they’re landing
  • Toucan: Medium quality meat: Same as macaw tbh
  • Cane Toad: Low quality meat, found hopping around near rivers, can also be caught in small traps
  • Poison Dart Frog: Same meat as cane toad, will envenom you in any way it could (and I can guarantee that it will kill you or waste your time) Generally avoid them whenever you can. They are still edible and harmless if you kill it before picking it up and only boil the hell out of it.
  • Mystery Snail: Not very filling, but restores sanity if cooked. Found on rocks nearby freshwater ponds
  • Red Crab: Medium Quality Meat, restores good amount of sanity

Taking care of your Plants
  • Water it until the hydration bar is full or hope for a rain to do your job for you.
  • Fertilizer can be found as animal droppings (poop). Poop can be found through the distinct fly sound
  • Alternatively, rotten biomatter such as fruits and mushroom can be used as a low quality fertilizer
  • Fertilizing is optional but can make the plant grow faster. It is more efficient to use poop for plants that regrows itself such as Banana, Cocona, and Soursoup
  • Plowing will not make your crop plot arable, it will destroy the plant.
  • Single harvest plant will require plowing to make the planter reusable

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

This is where I include questions and problems that are often asked or complained in the review and discussion forum to help people solve the most notorious problem in the game.

Q: How do I manage sanity? why are hallucinated tribal keeps attacking me?
A: You should keep your sanity up by at least 80% to make sure that you wont even start hearing voices. At lower than 50% sanity, those tribal hallucination will start spawning and acutally deals damage to you. Things to do:

  • Eating cooked meat, choke yourself full of it until your sanity is above 50%
  • Especially raw honey & cooked crab
  • Staying near fire
  • Sleeping in a good quality bed
  • Taking off leeches
  • Fishing

Things you should not do if you want to keep your sanity up:

  • Eating insects
  • Leaving diseases untreated, especially worms & leech
  • Sleeping without shelter
  • Commiting Cannibalism (ABSOLUTE NO! NO!)

Q: How do I fish?
A: With Spear: Normally when in creek. Anywhere else, You throw. The type of spear doensn’t really matter
A2: For fishing rod. You will need to find a brazil nut which are a very very very rare item found near a large three where you would sometime find blue mushroom. The nut’s shell are one of the key component to make a fishing rod. There is also a free fishing rod at the oasis snake camp found by the tree next to the shelter and campfire.

Q: Why do I keep getting attacked by tribals? how do I get rid of them?
A: The tribals in green hell no longer spawn in to attack you periodically, now they mind their own business such as singing, foraging, patrolling, and resting. Should you approach them or be seen by them, then they will attack you. You can easily avoid them by hearing their singing.
A2: Also setting up fire and forge will attract tribals to raid your camp, so be considerate about it.

Q: Why no rain? or Why too much rain?
A: After the first 20 days, the game would start to either go full on dry, or go full on wet, then switches between the two for the whole week or longer. Don’t be scared, this isn’t a bug at all.
> When raining often, your water should be manageable and your only challenge is lightning a fire in order to cook and to build covered shelter so you can sleep. Also you cannot dry food during rainy season so keep a note on that
> When dry, you would have to prepare a bidon of any type and coconut shells to boil water and to make soups while you’re at it

Q: What’s the cheesiest way to beat the deal with the tribals?
A:

  • Stealth Archery: 1 headshot kills the tribal, you can get like 2-3 before they start chasing after you
  • Stealth Spearing: 1 headshot kills the tribal incase you ran out of arrow
  • Jump on a log bridge or a huge boulder: Tribals can’t get up there but will switch the ranged if they have a weapon

Q: What’s the Dealies with weapon durabilit
A: Two things: 1. Weapon durability is purely tied to your crafting skill. 2. Weapon material quality sets the maximum possible durability. Making it viable to only craft bad weapon at early skill then upgrade to a better tier once your durability of the previous weapon tier is at 100%

Q: Can I copy/paste your guide on my repost/gamer website/forum/news article/translation/etc.
A: *bleep* yeah, you may do as you wish BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT please credit me or link this guide to that post
