Strategy[]
- The best way for the player to easily level up is to farm food sources in the Desert.
- Namely, cactus pears and dates can level up the player quite fast. Said food sources are easy to find across the whole Desert, though cactus pears are more common near cacti.
- Alternatively, the player can go into the Land biome to feed water pods into brown mushrooms by pressing
Sto produce berries. However, the player should only take the extra time to farm in Land if the Desert is unviable. - The player should not bother trying to level up by eating other players, as the range of prey available is limited (tiers 1 and 2 only), so prey will often be hard to find. Even if the player does locate prey, actually eating the other player will take more effort than it is worth.
- If a predator attempts to eat the player, they can use the Meerkat's "Dig" ability by holding
Wto create a muddy trail, which will slow most predators down.- If the predator is not slowed down by the trail, the player can dig underneath a hill or rock and emerge from whichever side the predator is not facing, and then move to a hiding hole.
- The player can also flee to quicksand or an oasis; most relevant predators cannot move fast in quicksand.
