![]() ![]() This is going to be a long ass post with probably no real TLDR, fair warning.įirst, Id just like to say that this game is really, truly unique and quite amazing. Roughly 30-40 hours and 5 full restarts later, I stand before you, an apex predator of the continent. Information gathered from an entire three day weekend of almost non stop trial and error grinding. If you’re not, though, visit our Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey topic to browse through all our offerings.I come bearing information. Crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and you should be fine. Just remember not to get ahead of yourself. I could teach you how to fish (and might in a separate guide), but you are a human with a developed brain and can likely figure that out with some trial and error. Trust me when I tell you that we’re barely scratching the surface with these tips, but they are designed for players that need a nudge but don’t want things handed to them. Once you’re asleep in your bed that night, check to see if any cognitive enhancements have opened. If you perform a task you feel should lead to a cognitive enhancement, and it didn’t notify you, try repeating the action a few times with kids hanging off you. ![]() Why not catch two fish, strip two sticks, build two beds, or lift two rocks? Just because you’ve done something once, doesn’t mean you’ve mastered the skill or learned how to effectively repeat it. Often you will notice that the game notes when you’ve done something twice, unlocking a potential cognitive enhancement. So, you’ve figured out how to strip the branches off that stick and you’re proud of yourself. ![]() Get all of your needs topped off first thing in the morning so that you can spend the day focused on exploration and learning new skills. A good rule is that when you wake up, you should find a source of water to drink and a source of food to eat. You won’t see the typical status bars you might expect in most games, so it’s imperative that you pay close attention to how your primate is acting at any given time. Those are the three core needs that you must address each day. While it may seem annoying to carry kids with you everywhere, it’s key to your early game progression and should be done frequently. A cognitive enhancement might allow you to use both your hands, passing an object back and forth between them while learning about how to alter it. The thing is, performing actions while you have a kid with you is the only way to generate Neuronal Energy, which is how you can unlock cognitive enhancements by sleeping in a bed. In Ancestors, you can approach kids in your clan and pick them up, carrying them with you as you go about your daily routine and head out on expeditions. Like a baby, you should be curious and getting into all the trouble you can. ![]() It doesn’t just apply to food, though, you need to look at each item and see what you can do with it. If it’s something you can eat, why not eat it and see what happens? You might discover a new source of food, or you might find out that the thing you ate is quite bad for you. Once you do, you might get the option to inspect that item, which you should do. One thing you will be able to do early on is pick items up in your right hand. This is the only way you can progress forward. Even if it means losing a few clan members and dying, make your way to the ground where you can investigate and interact. Unfortunately, part of evolution is learning to deal with threats to your safety and hiding at great heights isn’t going to help you evolve. Even though I knew I would have to face those threats in order to grow, survival instinct kept me safely in the trees where my would-be predators couldn’t reach me. There were many things on the ground that wanted to kill me, and not quite as many in the trees. In my first run through Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, I spent a lot of time in the trees. These tips won’t give you all the answers, but they will put you on a path to growth through discovery. This can make survival difficult, as one might expect. The fact is, players are in control of very basic primates that don’t understand what we consider the simplest motor skills that humans take for granted, such as using both hands, and moving an object from one hand to the other. Even with these tips, expect to die a lot in the early hours of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. ![]()
