How do you de-stress?

[LexTexMex]

My best run ended when i got pestered by demons or something and kept losing morale to the point where the character would completely loop between panicing, vomiting and finaly become emancipated. What are the best ways to keep your character from spiraling?

build sandcastles, dive and do skill training like shoot arrows or just throw rocks, climb a tree. smashing coconuts with rocks also helps. a bit of everything and you will be fine.

I think you are dealing with something way more problematic than stress.

How many days into the run are we talking about, what was your mind structure stat at and what was your comfort level inside your Mud Hut?

51 days is a bit early to go crazy. If you got really hurt or sick try to avoid that in the next game, otherwise stay well feed and do some fun activities such as diving and making sandcastles to distress once in a while. Make sure to dive at Beach not Bay though or you can get a shark bite if unlucky.

Mind Structure should be pretty stable at 51 days still even with very low comfort inside Mud Hut but it the point where you should be working on it a lot.

So I assume some horible things happened.

That being said even the worst crazy spirals can be overcome with lots of hard work and patience.


But yea better to avoid it.

Next time things start going bad try to react asap. Try to drink some tea as well if fun activities are not helping. Keep pain away with kava drinks, make yourself relaxed with ginger tee.

Avoid Coffee if stressed out.


Hmmm yea that should do it for now good luck!

I got my hunter run screwed up due to huffing magic mushroom trying to get in the right mental state.

The problem goes in
I get depressed > I lose my mind > I get hunted > I get stressed > I get night terrors > I get depressed.

Only way to break the cycle is avoid being hunted but it waste so much time and energy that I got back to being stressed anyway

My character is beyond saving at this point and I'm only trying to not die while building the raft

I feel you.

My first time getting hunted, my character just decides to...perish on his bed. Sleep all the way, all the time, until darkness claims him.

The only real way to avoid being hunted is to let the thing come to you over and over again until you land a lucky blow and destroy it for the rest of the run.

This will be step 1 to recovery as now you removed the major issue.


Then move onto a next one and one by one you can solve all your problems and salvage the run.

It is not easy but it is rewarding to do it :).
