This mode is quite luck based have to say. if you explore in the wrong direction you are pretty much doomed .
And I think the game itself dynamically induce lots of frustration whenever you feel your game become smoother.
I'll list a few WTH moments you'll encounter in adventure mode.
A cold reception:
raining frogs definitly is the most danger in this map especially they pouring down at night time.
[tips]
- 1.if you see frogs raining during night time. be sure to charge the camp fire to max. if you get attacked by a frog, trying run and circling the camp fire, just don't attack it, cause it will lure more frogs to attack you.
- 2.set up the camp fire near another enemy group to help distract those frogs. tall birds, pig gardians who bottle necked a bridge etc, they will fight each other, you can just sit there and watch. grab those loot, frog leg and meat after the big massacres
- 3.feed the friendly piglings with fog leg they will follow you around and help defend the frog invasion
- 4.don't explore forest while it's raining unless you are willow. lightening almost will always strike (70%+) and burn down the entire forest (you included) when you exploring forest in rain. I find it's quite mysterious why disaster always following me to every spot I explored, from frog raining to lightening. there must be some evil intentioned designer from Klei dev team
lol Archepelego:
sanity loss through jumping between wormhole and killer bees is the biggest challenge here.
[tips]
- 1.you pretty much get to the killer bee lvl the last, so the +5 sanity from flowers won't happen anytime soon. so you have to plan your jumping through those worm holes carefully. using a shovel dig up some crucial resource. twigs and pine corns from the first area.
- 2.the map usually have swamp with spider and tentacle enemies at the same time. just watch them fight. grab the loot after their fight. if you see bunch loots stacking together, which means multiple tentacle hidden beneath. so be careful, only grab one or two per approach. otherwise you'll get hit by tentacles
- 3. if a worm hole is blocked by some spider net. you better clear it up at the very beginning, as time goes by, their size will grow, jumping through without damage become impossible
- 4.killer bees are troublesome, you better just run when you see them. check the map constantly by press touch pad on your DS4. trying to find a route that has fewest killer bee nest as possible. if one wormhole is in middle of those nest. you are pretty much doomed. you have to destroy them one by one, starting from the furthest nest. lure bees out, about one and half map span away, run back to their nest, attack the nest directly. after nest is destroyed, bees won't get as stacked, then you can kill them one by one afterward. it's very time consuming process, be sure to wear log suit and bring enough food and set a stone campfire near those nests needs to be cleared
Two worlds:
one of the easiest map, not much to say here. stack some amount of food, you'll be good. even the swamp area, have tons of enemy conflict you can sit watch and grab loot. bring 20 wood and 30+ grass and twigs before jump to swamp, you'll be fine.
Game is afoot :
another relatively easier map. you start with winter. have to pass 10 days untill summer come and those 4 pieces you suppose to find only appear in summer. resource and food usually plenty to help you survive 10 days. if the chest only contain rot and not winter hat. then you have to make a rabbit hat to survive, tougher start.
[tips]
- 1. rot can be used as fertilize to help revive those dried grass tuffs.
- 2. you can farm spider nest during daytime and dusk to get the silk for tent and their gut for healing
- 3. if you see the winter boss (giant white yeti)coming. run away and set another base far away, or lure it to other entities on the map. spider, tall birds, beefalo... etc
King of Winter :
toughest map I have to say. gotta survive both the cold temp and lack of food and that freaking map even place multiple sanity obelisks. hate this map the most, although heard rumor that WES only spawn in this map
[tips]
- 1. don't bother kill hunting camp guys yourself. set stone camp fire near two conflict parties. penguins/beefalo vs hunting camp will give you lots of loot
- 2. penguins are strong when they decide to attack, so don't mess up with them, although you can steal eggs from them, they won't get mad
- 3. hunting the elephant looking animal only in stone or beefalo terrain. no forest or among spiders. too much hassle to find those foot prints, you end up wasting your precise time and themo energy, if it's getting late during you hunting, set up a temp camp fire near the footprint and don't' reveal it yet, wait till morning and continue searching
- 4. grab those green mushrooms you ever walked by, they'll give you -50 sanity when eat raw. which you needed when trying to walk pass negative-pass obelisks
- 5. I haven't master this lvl yet, still need to constantly backup save to pass this one, if I find more tips for this winter lvl, I'll update this thread. or you can share your own tips by replying this post
Darkness :
this map isn't as tough as they stated on wiki if you do some preparation before enter world 5.
[tips]
- 1. bring a miner hat
- 2. bring a bug net
- 3. bring a stack of food, about 8+ meat/15+ carrots, you will conque this lvl in no time
- 4.item of you choice: stack of gold to make those golden version tools, healing item or a log suit?
The most critical tip of the adventure mode is:
creating conflict between entities is the key for the adventure mode. (作壁上观，渔翁得利)
save backup is another good way to beat this mode.
This mode is evil , Best luck to ya!
