Learn about the single save slot and missable items in Children of the Sun. Avoid points of no return without realizing it.
Saving: You can save your progress in Children of the Sun at campfires found throughout the world. Some campfires are located near an NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) who can refill your health, but most are for saving only. A significant limitation is that the game only provides one save slot.
Missable Items: To experience everything Children of the Sun has to offer, you must collect specific items. Crucially, several of these missable items are only available at the beginning of the game. Since there is no backtracking (the ability to revisit previous areas), if you are unaware of these items, you will likely miss them and be unable to retrieve them later.
Points of No Return: The game includes points of no return, after which you cannot go back to earlier areas. These are highlighted in the walkthrough, along with any items you should have collected before reaching them.
- Pay close attention to item markers at the beginning of each section and highlighted in all-caps throughout the walkthrough to identify missable items.
- Be aware of highlighted points of no return to ensure you have collected necessary items before proceeding.
- Understand that the single save slot means careful planning is needed to avoid replaying large sections if you miss an item.
