Path To Oros

Activate Hunter's Vision (a special sight that highlights important objects and enemies) to find alder wood, slate, and reeds. Gather these resources to craft a bow and arrows. These items also yield hardwood and flint, which are needed for crafting weapons and gear.

You will be prompted to heal.

Activate Hunter's Vision again to locate grazing goats.

Hunt the goats. A headshot (a shot to the enemy's head) with the bow will kill a goat instantly. If a goat is only wounded, follow its blood trail, which glows yellow in Hunter's Vision, to find its corpse. An "X" symbol on the map (a visual indicator on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) or radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)) marks the location of a corpse. Hunter's Vision will also highlight a corpse or a spent weapon (a weapon that has run out of ammunition).

Harvest the hide and other resources from the goat and recover your arrow.

Continue hunting until you have bagged three goats.

As night falls, predators become more active. A newly generated waypoint (a marker on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) directing you to a location) to the west points the way to shelter. Approach the waypoint to spawn a designated area.

Inside the shelter, a hearth will glow red in Hunter's Vision. Light a fire at the hearth.

Craft a club, which requires three units of alder wood. Ignite the club in the fire. Using a fire source saves on animal fat, and collecting and conserving resources is vital to survival.

Move forward and use the flaming club to burn the brush blocking the cave's exit.

Extinguish your torch to save wear on your weapon and advance into the darkness.

Activate Hunter's Vision to follow the Wenja's blood trail as it meanders downhill. The orientation of the footprints shows the proper direction of travel. You can ignore the sabretooth prowling on the high rocks ahead.

Jump from the ledge. Hunter's Vision will reveal the first clue of the Wenja's passage: the ashes of a fire. Investigating a clue yields 100 XP (experience points, used to level up).

Farther along, you will find a wolf's carcass, killed by a strong Wenja hunter. Continue collecting resources as you proceed.

When you hear growls, use Hunter's Vision to locate the small wolf pack.

As you approach the three wolves, light your club to fend them off. Kill and skin as many as possible.

Continue on the trail into a cave where a pile of warm ashes indicates that the Wenja are close.

Jump into the water and continue tracking. A roaring sabretooth can be heard when you find the place where a Wenja tended his wounds.

Climb the ledge, move past the falling water, and jump the gap.

Continue tracking into the long passage. At the drop off, jump into the water and swim. The big cat will cross the stream on a log and move off.

Swim until you see the Wenja on the rocks above, then climb out of the water.

After the cutscene (an in-game cinematic that advances the story) with the sabretooth, you have found Oros, and Sayla's refuge will be your base of operations. Sayla relays that Ull, the brutal Udam leader from the cold north and his tribe of cannibals, has driven the Wenja from their homes, scattering the survivors across Oros.
