Green Hell – Beginner Guide

Learn the essentials for survival before you start. On the spot facts in the right order – no spoilers, no unnecessary stuff.

Most Important

1. Craft an axe: stick (found on ground), stone (found on ground)

• You can “right-click harvest” any larger object in smaller (stick -> small stick, big stone – stone etc).

2. Eat as you go, only carry if you are stuffed

• You can safely eat any mushrooms (observe effects).
• Orange fruits are fine to eat.

3. Collect stuff as you go (stones, sticks, ropes, etc.)

4. Water: do not drink from dirty / unsafe water (parasites)

• You need a coconut (green, on ground), hitting it with an axe will reveal coconut.
• Right-click “drink” (for water) then right-click “harvest” yields two flesh filled, right-click “eat”.
• Whenever it rains and you are thirsty put coconut shells on ground, wait a moment, right-click “drink”.
• Always carry shells with you.

5. Danger avoidance

• Leeches: if magnification symbol appears, always check limbs for leeches.
• Snakes: if you hear rattle, immediately walk backwards, avoid by going around.
• Later you can easily shot with arrow and harvest the meat.
• Never touch bright colored frogs (you are a dead man).

Tools and Game Safe

1. Craft a blade (two stones)

• Required for harvesting animals.

2. Craft a bow (long stick from thin trees), rope (from big trees hanging down)

• This will be your best friend for hunting and defense.
• Always aim for the head (one shot kill)!
• Craft arrows (2 feathers from dead birds), small stick.

3. Craft a spear (long stick), blade, rope

• Very handy for spear fishing, quite easy, find fish, aim, hit.

4. Safe game: build a shelter, you can sleep and safe there

5. Only travel daytime, sleep in the night

• If you are in a hurry just build a bed from palm leafs (no safe).
• 4pm is the time to look for shelter.

Go Hunting

1. Go hunting with your bow (always aim for the head for one shot kill!)

• Right-click to harvest animals (you get dirty).
• Wash yourself always if you a dirty (right-click on any water, even dirty water –> wash yourself).
• If you are dirty and you eat something –> parasites.
• Do not eat raw meat, always cook in fire.
• Parasites: by now you should have found the right mushroom (blue or brown).

2. Build fire

• Craft fire starter (stick, small stick).
• Get dry matter (birds nest, better: hit any bush/plant with a blade –> pile of leafs –> wait –> dry matter).
• Right-click “use” fire starter, drag dry matter from your inventory, light fire.
• Make armor from bones (banana leaf, 3 bones, 2 ropes, drag from inventory to your limbs.

The world is now good to explore.
