How to Start as a Beginner in Wild Origin: A Beginner's Guide

Wild Origin, as an open-world game that blends survival and construction, requires new players to master the core gameplay of resource collection, status management, and basic building. If you're just starting out, don't worry; we've prepared a beginner's guide on how to start playing Wild Origin for newcomers. In fact, these three aspects of gameplay basically run through the entire game. Next, I will organize the practical initial ideas to help players quickly establish a survival foundation.

After being born, don't rush to do the main quests. Collect basic materials like branches, stones, and Lolo fruits along the way. Branches are used for making torches and tools, stones for building workbenches, and Lolo fruits can both restore health and relieve hunger. Remember to avoid fallen trees, as getting hit by the trunk will cause damage. For the first mini-boss, the Wild Pincer, you don't need to fight head-on; instead, retreat while attacking and deal damage after its attack animation. Don't forget to loot the corpse after defeating it; the metal pieces dropped will be useful for making axes later.

Find a flat area to place your Home Core, preferably near a forest and water source. Within the blue range of the core, set up a workbench and storage box first. Use the workbench to make stone axes and torches, and use the storage box to store extra materials. Build the roof with the cheapest wooden planks, which can provide shelter from rain and a place to sleep. Remember not to put the bed in the open air, as getting wet will decrease your condition. In the early stages, don't pursue luxurious decoration; functionality is more important than aesthetics. Of course, those who enjoy building can ignore this advice.

When encountering wild monsters, first crouch in the bushes and attack from behind, where backstabbing deals double damage. If you can't defeat them, run away and find cover to recover stamina before it runs out. On rainy days, remember to stay by the fire, as the damp state reduces stamina recovery. Don't eat only one type of food; eating fruits, mushrooms, and roasted meat simultaneously triggers the "Well-Fed" buff, increasing damage and health regeneration speed. If you see a glowing messenger, follow it to the pedestal for a treasure chest, which is a great tool for early exploration.

Activate teleportation points as you encounter them, saving time when traveling around the map later. When cutting down trees, leave a few as landmarks to help find your way if you get lost. Use the map marking function to collect materials, marking forest areas if you need wood. When your backpack is almost full, return home to store supplies; excessive weight makes it hard to move. Clear out the small monsters around your home every day to steadily gather basic materials.

The key to the early stages of Wild Origin is to build a solid foundation. Save more resources and avoid unnecessary battles, prioritizing unlocking the workbench and storage functions. Follow the main storyline whenever possible. If you can't defeat elite monsters, go around them and come back when your level and equipment are better. Additionally, follow the messengers to find treasure chests. By following this rhythm, you can establish a foothold within three days.
