To Lock-on to the prey you press ZL and you press Y to use the spear. While hunting, Kara can crouch and sneak up to prey by pressing and holding the L shoulder button. Kara can craft a Stick Bow 1 x stick and 1 x silk thread and after you receive the recipe and killed a PlainStaker you can craft a PlainStaker Bow using 1 x Leather, 2 x PlainStaker Horn and 1 x Slik thread. Later on in the game, you will get a few recipes for better stronger weapons, such as a Bone Tipped Spear 1 x bone, 1 x stick spear, and 1 x leather are needed to craft a Bone Tipped Spear. To make a basic Stick Spear you will need 1 X stick and it always handy to carry more than one stick since your spear will break. You can make a basic Stick Spear, a wooden pole with a pointed tip. Kara has her Unbreakable Knife and it’s great for gathering resources but it’s much better to use a Spear or Bow and A rrow for catching prey. Of course in a typical game style you will need a Bone Shovel before you can dig up clay, isn’t there always a catch! A Bone Shovel requires 1 x Bone, 1 x Gorehorn crest and 2 x Thick Grass. And t o make a clay pot you need 3 x clay dug out of holes in the ground, 1 x stick, and 2 x thick grass. A Poison Bomb disorientates and damages your prey during attacks. You’ll get a recipe to craft Scatter Rocks ammo for your S lingshot but you will need to have crafted a Hammer and killed one of the large beasts that roam the island first to get an ingredient for the recipe for the Hammer so that will come later in the game.īy chapter two you might have another recipe to craft: a Poison Bomb (1 x Poison Gland and 3 x clay pot). Later in the game, you will get recipes for a Leather Slingshot which is slightly more durable than the Grass Slingshot, it requires 1 x Leather and 1 Grass Slingshot to make. Rocks are used as ammunition, rocks are everywhere so at the very start of Windbound this is your basic ammo and weapon. Grass Rope is made using 2 x thick Grass. To make a Sling Shot you need 1 x thick Grass which is plentiful and found on most islands and 1 x Grass Rope. Using the spear to kill a Gorehorn WeaponsĪ few of the first weapons you make are a Grass Slingshot and a basic Stick Spear.

Most weapons break after a certain amount of uses, it can be to your advantage to carry some extra resources to be able to craft a new weapon when one breaks. You’ll need to hunt for food and gather any food you do find, so Kara should be equipped with at least a spear at all times to be ready to defend herself. Now you know why there are hogs on the islands, they are after the truffles too! To gather food you hit the X button quickly to put the food into Kara’s bag and if you want Kara to eat the food instead of placing it in her bag you press and hold the X button and she will eat it.Īt the base of some large trees, you might also find a Raw Truffle. You can usually see them on the side of trees without any problem as they give off a slight shine. A Rust Cap Mushroom can be found on some islands, these grow on the side of tree trunks. On most islands, you will find KojiBerry, a small edible fruit that can be found in small green bushes dotted about the islands. In Windbound food comes in two varieties, food you can pick from bushes and trees or food from an animal you have to hunt and kill. Using the slingshot Hunting And Gathering Food To craft, you press the R shoulder button to bring up the menu and use the R shoulder button to switch between your inventory and the crafting menu then use the left stick to move onto the item you want to craft and press A. I always have both in my bag, as you never know when something like your slingshot will break in the heat of the moment and you must craft another one right away. Thick grass and rocks are handy to have on hand in your bag, but they are also plentiful on all the islands, the choice is yours if you want the carry them in your bag. You could easily fill your item back up with lots of resources and then you will find you have no room left for the important items such as food! Not all items are available to you from the get-go and you will have to wait to be able to craft some items later in the game. Some resources are bountiful like Thick Grass and others are scarce and are harder to find such as Bamboo which is only found on islands after the first chapter. So here’s the one for Windbound, providing you with some hints, tips and tricks for playing Windbound that might help you out.Įach time you start a game or a new chapter, the islands are randomly generated and this affects the resources you can find. And as we often do for games we love: we make a guide. I reviewed the game ( find that here) and loved it. Though the game has a tutorial it doesn’t go into great detail. Windbound is an adventure/survival game with the emphasis being on the survival side.
