Outward: Beginner's Guide | Part 1 - Getting Started

hey guys chechi here in this guide I want to show you an effective way to get started in the outward I think it's a fun way to dive into the game as a beginner and a good way to get yourself familiar with some of the basics so let's get straight into it step 1 loot the beach so you've just started it and woken up on the beach loot the starting Beach area harvest all the gar berries and grab all the loot [Music] make sure you wander up the stream and there's some loot on both sides of a wooden blockage also lube the junk pile on the beach and the hollow tree trunk near the hyenas [Music] to access the trunk you'll have to fight or avoid the hyenas [Music] if you want to fight them grab the machete from the body on the rocks nearby and try to lure one hyena at a time [Music] [Music] or if you feeling confident buy them both to control the fight hit tab to lock onto a target and then move in circles around a hyena as you move closer the hyena will either jump backwards or lunge at you as long as you keep moving in circles around it and keep a good distance the lunge will miss you and now there's an opening for you to get a hit in [Music] [Music] [Music] this fight is also a good chance to practice few dodge rolls and blocks [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] step to loot CSO starting at your lighthouse sweep through CSO grabbing all of the loot you can find and harvesting all of the gar berry and crab I bushes make sure you grab the primitive satchel and other loot in the lighthouse [Music] [Music] [Music] make sure you grab the water skin that's resting on the water purifier also make sure you grab the fishing harpoon on the docks and harvest the three fishing spots on the beach [Music] [Music] [Music] make sure you loot the upstairs chests in the Town Hall it usually has a valuable item in it [Music] also Luke the first part of the storage area [Music] [Music] make sure you've grabbed the mining pick if you feel confident you can try fighting the troglodytes in the cave area [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] if you come across this exit don't jump down or you'll be stuck outside of town and you'll have to make your way back through the wilderness so all the bits and pieces you've gathered to the merchants in town step 3 brew potions cook food you should have enough silver to buy an alchemy kit and a few ingredients by an alchemy kit from the alchemists and anything oil she has also buy anything oil the Sora Borean caravana and the shopkeeper have greetings friend [Music] is there something you need harvest three wood from a tree make a campfire and set up the alchemy kit on it [Music] combined thick oil and water at an alchemy kit to create three warm potions make as many warm potions as you can and then sell them to the merchants in town if you end up carrying too much just drop some potions go and sell some and then retrieve the potions all right [Music] next head back over to the alchemist hey there now by equal numbers of gravel beetles and blood mushrooms and equal numbers of star mushrooms and turnips ideally by as many matched pairs as you can thus our Borean caravana also sometimes sells gravel beetles combine a blood mushroom gravel beetle and water to make three life potions combined a star mushroom turnip and water to make three astral potions keep the life potions and if your character isn't going to be using mana sell the astral potions what cannot alright if you need more water gather it from the ocean you can boil salt water at a cooking pot or campfire to get clean water and so I've left a link in the description to a video that goes into a bit more detail and will show you a way to use these recipes to make as much silver as you want without leaving C as oh now is also a good time to do some cooking you can use the cooking station in your lighthouse or set up a cooking pot near your alchemy kit you can buy a cooking pot from the shopkeeper or the town chef here's there something you need [Music] and you can set it up by placing it on a campfire [Music] here's a few simple recipes to start off with the life regen make jerky by combining two mink with two salt [Music] meets you by combining one mate with one vegetable and one salt raw meat and our berries are a good choice of ingredients for these recipes for stamina regen make Carbury Tartine by combining one gar berry jam with one bread make Gabri jam by combining for gar berries at a cooking pot you can also buy Gabourey jam and bread from the township and help you for mana regen make turnip cottage by combining three turrets with one salt a few teas that you should learn how to make a mineral tea bitter spicy tea and soothing tea mineral tea restores 15 burn health removes indigestion and gives the impact resistance up puff [Music] you can craft mineral tea by combining a gravel beetle and water at a cooking pot [Music] bitter spicy tea restores 15 burn stamina here is infection and gives a cold weather defense buff [Music] you can craft bitter spicy tea by combining an ogre spice beetle with water at equivalent [Music] soothing tea restores 15 burnt manner and more importantly when starting out it cures common colds you can craft soothing tea by combining seaweed with water at a cooking pot the toxic child recipe is a good way to make a few extra silver grilled crab eye seeds at a cooking pot [Music] and then combine to grow crab eye seeds with one salt at an alchemy kit to make free toxic charges [Music] toxic charges can also be used to arm pressure plate traps later in the game [Music] [Music] another useful thing to know is that most of the merchants in the game will say you a gold ingot for 100 silver one gold ingot Wade's a tenth of what 100 silver ways and you can always buy and sell them for 100 silver this means that they're a great way to lower the weight of your currency especially when you're traveling step 4 lever and Fang now that you've done a bit of crafting it's time to sort out a weapon and some basic armor to get you ready for adventuring stop by the blacksmith and buy whatever weapon type you want to use I usually go for a helmet or great axe at this stage of the game they both have decent attack patterns and reach a one-handed weapon and shield is also a good starting combination the halberd has a nice amount of reach and is good at keeping enemies at bay while also dealing a decent amount of damage the great axe deals a lot of damage and moves you forward with its attack combos it's a very aggressive weapon a one-handed weapon and shield is a good combination of attack and defense [Music] in my opinion the great axe is the best choice for farming the early game enemies but use whatever weapon you want to if you've got a spare 25 silver head over to the shopkeeper and buy a Nomad backpack is there something you need [Music] [Music] make sure you've got a water skin backpack and a weapon equipped and then talk to Bureau by the town gate he'll give you a free skill for the weapon type you have equipped and let you leave see as oh you aren't going to be traveling very far yet what you want to do right now is handsome hyenas to get predator bones and hide when you leave see a zou head east then southeast and you'll find a large pack of hyenas that you can farm same idea as earlier in the guide moving a circle around the hyenas bait out of lunge and strike back when they're vulnerable or if you're using a great axe you can be a bit more aggressive [Music] [Music] you can also hit B to drop your backpack this will let you move faster and performed odd roles without slowing down to craft a set of makeshift leather armor you'll need for hide and a basic hat basic armor and basic boots any of the starting clothes or basic clothing items usually work for these slots when you've gathered the hide open the crafting menu and combine one hide and a basic hat to make the makeshift leather hat combine to hide and a basic armor to make the makeshift leather attire combine one hide and some basic boots to make the makeshift leather boots the makeshift leather armor set gives you some basic physical defense and cold weather protection as well as a small bonus to your pouch size which can be pretty handy when starting out to craft a two-handed Fang weapon you'll need the weapon of your choice - predator bones and one linen scrap one-handed weapons in the shield you only need one predator bone if you've killed the pack of hyenas and still don't have enough predator bones you can find another hyena in the cave nearby and a few more in the surrounding areas [Music] when you've gathered the predator Barnes open the crafting menu and combine your weapon with the predator binds and one linen scrap remember - predator binds for two handed Fang weapons and one predator buying for the one-handed Fang weapons and shield [Music] [Music] if you run out of linen cloth don't worry there are plenty of the armors and clothings that you can break down in the crafting menu to get more a quick note here there are a lot of items that break down into different materials and a fairly common practice went out exploring is to break down all the low tear iron items that you find into iron scraps iron scrap is an ingredient in a lot of the basic crafting recipes so it's a very handy thing to collect step 5 what to bring on an adventure now that you know if you use for crafting recipes and have some decent starter weapons and armor it's time to prepare yourself to head out into the world don't worry about it too much the first time you set out to explore but while you're learning the game you should aim to bring the following items when setting out on an adventure bring at least two of each tea bring three to six life potions I usually assign my life potions to five in the quick slot bar bring three to six bandages bandages are handy for a bit of extra life regen and stop bleeding you can combine two linen cloths to make a bandage bring five jerky and three meats to these should cover your life regen needs bring six to twelve Gargery Tartine the more the better you use a lot of stamina when roaming around and combining the stamina region from the gabourey Tartine with the stamina region you get from drinking water will make running around much easier if you run out of Tartine you can harvest Agha berry you need it and that will give you a small amount of stamina region [Music] also bring along two to three water skins for longer trips are usually bring three if your character will be using manner bring three to six astral potions so you have a way to restore manner and three to six term Opatija z' to cover mana regen also consider bringing some extra soothing tees so you have spares to restore burnt manner when starting out you should also always make sure you bring along a tent or bed roll a lantern a backpack a fishing harpoon and a mining pick you should also bring a flint and steel it's also worth bringing along a bow at least fifteen arrows and three to six tripwire traps with the same number of iron spikes you can buy a bow and arrows from the blacksmith you can also craft three arrows by combining one iron scrap and one wood you can craft to tripwire traps by combining two iron scraps one wood and one linen cloth [Music] and you can craft three iron spikes by combining four iron scraps traps and spikes can also be bought from the blacksmith having a bow in traps will allow you to strike at a distance and also easily lure enemies into some pretty painful situations [Music] traps can also give you a decent fallback plan if a flight gets tough now that you've got your gear sorted if you want to keep your lighthouse you should farm up 150 silver to pay off your debt [Music] greetings how go your efforts you have a way to make that payment and on time - I'm impressed I'll pop down to the beach 5e CSO storage exit [Music] and give Mitchell a budino bandage to earn a tribal favor which you can then use to pay off your debt if you lose your lighthouse don't worry you can buy it back for 300 silver I'm afraid that you came too late the light if you cannot succeed indeed if you've got a spare 100 silver also consider stopping by ito the spell blade in CSO and picking up the fitness and silly arm passive skills there 50 silver H and both quite useful also it's worth quickly mentioning here that you only have three breakthrough points to spend on breakthrough skills and some of the specialization skills after the breakthroughs are mutually exclusive so think carefully about what skills you want to get what breakthrough skills you want to get and the skill trees that you want to follow anyway now you know some useful crafting recipes have some basic gear and have an idea of some useful things to bring with you on an adventure you're ready to build on a solid foundation and get out into the world and explore I hope this guide has been helpful and that you've learned a thing or two have a good day or night whichever it may be and I'll see you in the next video
