Main Story Missions

Welcome, Wenja warrior, to the heart of Oros! This section will guide you through the perilous journey of uniting your tribe and facing the threats that plague your new home. Follow these detailed steps to conquer each main story mission, gather essential resources, and strengthen Takkar's resolve.

The Vision

Your journey begins with a desperate search for your scattered tribe. This introductory mission teaches you the fundamental mechanics of survival and combat.

  • Objective: Find the Wenja Survivors.
    • After the initial cutscene, you'll be thrust into the wilderness. Your first task is to craft a Spear. Gather 2x Hardwood and 2x Slate from the immediate area. Look for glowing resource nodes.
    • Proceed along the marked path. You'll encounter a wounded Wenja. Interact with them to trigger a brief tutorial on healing.
    • Continue tracking the Wenja. You'll soon face your first combat encounter against a small group of Udam. Utilize your newly crafted spear for ranged attacks and a Stone Club for close quarters. Aim for headshots to conserve weapon durability.
    • After dispatching the Udam, follow the trail to a cave. Inside, you'll find a small group of Wenja survivors, including Sayla.
  • Objective: Establish a Temporary Camp.
    • Sayla will instruct you to set up a temporary camp. Collect 3x Reeds and 5x Wood from the surrounding area. Reeds are typically found near water sources.
    • Return to the designated camp location and interact with the prompt to build it. This unlocks fast travel to this location and allows you to rest.
  • Reward: Access to the Wenja Village, basic crafting recipes, and the ability to recruit specialists.

Deep Wounds

Sayla needs help, and you must venture into dangerous territory to find crucial ingredients for her healing poultice.

  • Objective: Gather Red Leaves.
    • Sayla will mark an area on your map where Red Leaves can be found. These are often located in dense forest regions or near rocky outcrops.
    • Be wary of predators like Dholes and Wolves in this area. Consider crafting a Bow (2x Hardwood, 1x Animal Hide) and some Arrows (2x Reeds, 1x Wood) before venturing out for safer hunting.
    • Collect 5x Red Leaves. They appear as small, red-glowing plants.
  • Objective: Hunt a Cave Lion.
    • Sayla requires Cave Lion meat for the poultice. A hunting ground will be marked on your map.
    • Strategy: Cave Lions are formidable foes. Approach cautiously. Use bait (crafted from 1x Meat) to lure it into a trap (crafted from 2x Hardwood, 1x Slate), or to distract it for a stealth attack.
    • Alternatively, find a high vantage point and use your bow for repeated headshots. If engaging directly, dodge its charges and counter with spear thrusts.
    • Once defeated, skin the Cave Lion for its meat and hide.
  • Objective: Return to Sayla.
    • Bring the Red Leaves and Cave Lion meat back to Sayla at the village.
  • Reward: Sayla's Hut upgrade, unlocking new crafting recipes for health and buffs.

Trapped

A fellow Wenja is in peril, captured by the Udam. It's time to demonstrate your prowess in rescue and stealth.

  • Objective: Locate the Captured Wenja.
    • A Udam camp will be marked on your map. This is where the Wenja is being held.
    • Approach the camp stealthily. Use your Hunter Vision (press 'Q' on PC) to highlight enemies and their patrol routes.
  • Objective: Rescue the Wenja.
    • Stealth Approach: Utilize tall grass and bushes for cover. Take down Udam silently with stealth takedowns or headshots from your bow. Prioritize archers on elevated platforms.
    • Direct Assault: If stealth fails, be prepared for a fight. Use your spear and club, and consider throwing a Fire Bomb (1x Animal Fat, 1x Clay Pot) to create chaos and damage multiple enemies.
    • The captured Wenja is usually held in a cage or tied to a post within the camp. Interact with them to free them.
  • Objective: Escort the Wenja back to the Village.
    • Once freed, the Wenja will follow you. Be mindful of any remaining Udam patrols on the return journey.
    • Consider using a tamed beast companion (if unlocked) to protect the rescued Wenja.
  • Reward: Increased Wenja population, experience points, and access to new village upgrades.

Blood of Oros

The Udam's leader, Ull, is a brutal force. This mission introduces you to the larger conflict and the need to gather allies.

  • Objective: Investigate the Udam Hunting Grounds.
    • Travel to the designated Udam hunting grounds. Look for signs of their activity – discarded corpses, Udam patrols, and their distinctive markings.
    • You will encounter stronger Udam warriors here, including those with heavy armor. Aim for exposed areas or use fire to break their defenses.
  • Objective: Find Evidence of Ull's Presence.
    • Deep within the hunting grounds, you'll discover a gruesome scene and evidence of Ull's savagery. Interact with the marked objects to gather clues.
    • This often involves finding a specific Udam totem or a unique weapon.
  • Objective: Report back to the Village.
    • Return to your village and speak with Sayla and other key Wenja. The gravity of the Udam threat will become clear.
  • Reward: Unlocks specialist missions for other Wenja, such as Tensay the Shaman, and expands the available crafting and skill trees.
