Green Hell Survival Tips and Tricks

Survival 101: How to not die.

Other Green Hell Guides:

Early Survival Tips

  • Make an axe as soon as you start the game (1 rock + 1 wood stick)
  • Build a shelter as soon as you found a clearing, it is the only way to save your game.
  • Don’t drink unsafe water (even if you’re dying of thirst), its way harder to cure dystentry than dehydration.
  • Leave out coconut havles 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.

Tips and Tricks

  • Make an axe as soon as you start the game (1 rock + 1 wood stick)
  • Build a Hut as soon as you can so you can safe your game.
  • You can harvest large rock by right clicking it for more option.
  • Large item that can’t be put into inventory can be put for crafting either by dragging it or right clicking it for more options.
  • Don’t drink unsafe water (even if you’re dying of thirst), its way harder to cure dystentry than dehydration.
  • 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.
  • Leave out coconut havles in the open so when it rain, it will collect the rainwater (the rainwater is safe and drinkable)
  • If something leads to your death, don’t do it again.
  • Manage your sanity, keep it above by eating cooked meat and resting in shelter.
  • 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, don’t poke the ant nest either.
  • Remember the small valley shown in developer survival guide? look for it because its the safest place in the entire game.
  • Inspecting body while your inventory is open will highlight any disease, especially useful for finding leech.
  • Do not fight the jaguar, the meat is not very nutritious and the game hasnt provided the option to make armor out of its fur yet.
  • Normal frog = good, Neon frog = bad.
  • 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 snake venom.
  • 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 might be related to chances of getting a disease when you sleep.
  • There are no maps. so like a true survivalist, Draw a map in your head. Try to forage in a circle around your camp rather than in a straight line from your camp. You can get lost very easy.
  • Roasted Meat (except snake meat) restore sanity 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 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.

Partially Obselete since periodical attacks are removed and you can only encounter tribal when exploring.

  • You can’t befriend any of the tribals yet so feel free to go Collombus 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.
  • 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.
  • If you attacked by tribal in group of two and survived, you better move your base as the next one will be in a group of three.
  • If you are hungry, butchering human provides meat and bones that can be stewed, eating it raw or roasting it will cause sanity penalty.
  • You can safelty kill tribals from distance 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.
  • 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 accidentaly hit their friend if you angle your position just right.

  1. “Cheapest way to raise your sanity up is to hunt/fish as many animal as you can …”

    Not true. Sitting by a small fire increases sanity already by +2 every few (ingame)minutes. It burns for 12 hours, if you don’t fuel it, so… that’s the cheapest way. It cost you some collected wood, you’re safe, nothing is eating you, you don’t move, so you burn the least energy, it doesn’t take any food, no weapon, nothing. Just sitting there.

    “Don’t drink unsafe water (even if you’re dying of thirst), its way harder to cure dystentry than dehydration.”

    You probably mean dysentery. Anyways, if the player is dying of thirst, he/she should drink almost anything drinkable, because a dehydrated, dead body doesn’t need to cure anything at all. Unsafe water means there’s a probability to catch a parasite (RNG), this means, in nearly 50% of the time you catch none. And if the player is equipped with the reddish Cup Mushroom or even some of the blue unknown mushrooms, then it’s safe to drink any water, because you can then eat just as many mushrooms as you caught parasites: one cup shroom for every parasite (-1) or one blue shroom for every two parasites (-2). Making a soup of cup mushrooms doubles it, means, a bowl of a cup mushroom soup provides -2 parasites. Easy to cure. Not so easy to get anywhere ever again when you’re rather dying of thirst.

    “Don’t poke the wasp nest, don’t poke the ant nest either.”

    Also not true. Do poke wasp’ nests. Just from the distance. Have a lit torch at hand to prevent the wasps from attacking you or at least some Lily dressings if things go pear-shaped. Then collect honeycombs. It not just gave you +10 sanity, it’s the ultimate combination for leaf bandages. Cures every type of injury/poisoning.

    “Cut off plants (not banana or palm) and leave the leaves to dry off into usable tinder.”

    Unnecessary. It’s faster to ‘harvest’ leafs from ‘small leaf piles’. At any time you find some. This turns them immediately into fibres which you can use as tinder.

    “Inspecting body while your inventory is open will highlight any disease…”

    Got patched out.

    “…while charcoal can be eaten to filter out snake venom.”

    No, it does not filter out snake venom. It does can be eaten, though, but it only cures food poisoning by -1 at the cost of -5 of sanity.
