To begin your journey, scour the ground for basic resources: pick up Stone and Branches and harvest Plant Fiber from bushes. These materials are essential for crafting your first tools and a Campfire. Cooking food at a Campfire is vital because cooked meat provides Health Regeneration over time, which is your primary way to heal after combat, whereas raw meat can cause food poisoning.
Upgrading from your bare hands to a Stone Sword or Spear significantly increases your damage output and allows you to use heavy attacks to break enemy guards. Use these weapons to hunt Imps or Exiles for experience. Finally, craft a Torch using branches and fiber; it is a necessity for navigating the pitch-black nights and provides a heat source to prevent the "Chilled" status effect in colder regions.
