Overview
The basics on how to live as a badass Lynx mommy, protect your babies, hunt, kill and explore!
Kicking the babies out of home
So the babies won’t leave the nest to start with, so all you gotta do is turn on those badass mommy skills and hunt down some rabbits. To hunt, run at a rabbit (W+SHIFT+SPACE). It’s as simple as that.
If you can actually catch one of course. It takes a wee bit of practice to learn the running patterns of a bunny rabbit, but you’ll get there. Take the bunny to your wee youngin’s and left click to drop. You’ll only have to do this a couple of times and then your sweet little babies will follow you.
Looking around
wow dude omg so pretty!??!?!?????111!?!11!
Yes, folks. The map is huge and awesome. Eventually, you’ll be given a prompt to press M for a map. It’s not suuuuper detailed, but you get the jist.
(This is an example drawn from winter in the region with the deer.)
You’ll find different areas, and different seasons. Also, don’t be a spoon like me and run into the lake. Apparently Lynx’s can’t swim. R.I.P. one of my babies.
One of my favourite places on the map is across the big river over the log. It’s expanse and beautiful and also where some ♥♥♥♥♥ ass wolves ate one of my babies. And that’s where I come to my next point.
spooper secret spying mode
Wow I can’t find food because white rabbits look like snow ugh. Well, never fear lynx mommies. Right click to go into hunting mode. This will help you smell out baddies, see food from as far as your little sultry eyes can see, locate main areas and find your babies if they’re injured or too far away. (Also pro tip, if babies are too far away, hold down left click and you’ll meow and they’ll be like “Oh ♥♥♥♥, moms calling us” and they should come right back to you unless they’re injured or starving.)
oh yeEZUS WOL]OOFES
That’s right, Lynx mommies; you aren’t the scaries thing in the game (how lame right?????).
At some point, you’re going to encounter a spooper scare moment in the game (I only seemed to encounter it across the river) where wolves are gonna come and try eat you and your babies. R.I.P. baby number 2.
Pro tip! In this area, there are little mountain-esque mounds in which if you find yourself about to be nommed on, you and your babies can leap up on there (Shift+Space+W) and be like lol silly woofies can’t even jump #promom.
collectables!!!!~
Yes indeed! Collectables!
Sometimes, these collectables will be stuck on rocks, trees and in carcasses mostly. They will glitter a gold tone so you can’t miss them!
deerses
A feast for the whole family! You’ll often find these things in groups so be wise as to who you choose and be 100% sure you can get it so you don’t waste your time. Just like rabbits, run at them BUT you HAVE to jump on them. You’ll get the hang of it!
losing babies
contrary to popular belief, losing a baby or two isn’t so bad. so don’t fret too much if you accidentally lose one to wolves or drowning or hunger. your first few times playing will help you learn how to keep them alive and losing your babies is actually a great way to learn what not to do and how to do other things.
family tree
I don’t know too much about this feature yet, but I am putting a section in the guide for future reference. It shows you which babies are alive and which are not. I think it’s a pretty cool feature!
UPDATE: Getting bored? Start a new family with one of your surviving pups!!!!!! Click their name and start over!
offical kickbutt mommy gang
