Fearless mode advice
Any tips on how to complete the fearless mode? Maybe the developers could post a video showing how they managed to complete it?

There is a limited amount of water you can collect and rest of the resources take a while to respawn (and some of them are not even worth collecting because it takes more hunger/thirst to reach them). I have been avoiding cooking with water as it usually ends up giving less thirst points and I was able to fill hunger with other consumables or caught animals anyway. I focus only on the main quests (besides the candle side quest which has to be completed otherwise you cannot talk to the priest at the end of main farewell quest). Nor do I wander around as by now I know where to run for the next quest point. Plus I know that during the funeral scene you will get your points restored so I plan accordingly. Any additional tips would be appreciated.

Hello Rukus, how are you? Thanks for your comment! :)

For "Fearless", our biggest recommendation is the strategy planning to complete the mode.

Note that in the region "Grandpa's Home" and "Grandpa Tião's workshop" your stats do not decrease until you complete the initial missions and interact with the oratory for the first time. In other words, before completing this initial part, you can collect all available resources and wait for them to appear again before passing through the gate, in addition to collecting all the food available in the basket.

We recommend just following the main quests as you are doing. You can use the map available in the game to always know the correct direction and complete all quests at the fastest speed you can.

Another tip we give is to play on the easiest mode and know the location of the waterholes, to make collecting water easier, as they don't respawn.

Regarding food, our recommendation is to use the one that most benefits both stats together. For example, have you tried cashew juice and umbu juice? These are great choices for this mode.

This mode was designed to be more challenging, so it is normal for stats to decay more quickly and items to respawn take longer. You can play in easier mode to understand where items are generally located and make the search easier in harder mode.

Another tip is to always collect all possible items as soon as you arrive in a new region, before starting the quest. So, when you are carrying out the quest, the items will be respawning and generally when you finish the quest you will be able to collect them again.

We hope we helped, if you need any more tips, just get in touch again. Feel free to join our Discord community to interact with our team and other players! Just access the link: https://discord.gg/XJy2VbMfvz

Thank you for the response. Though it seems all the recommendations are what I already wrote I am doing in my initial post.

Regarding the item respawn during tutorial, could you confirm the time frame for items to show up again? I have actually tried that before thinking I could stock up on items before starting the stat decrease but after waiting for over 7 minutes nothing respawned so I just assumed that is the intended way for the tutorial.

As for focusing on the main quests, could you look into fixing the candle side quest so that it is actually a side quest? Or change how it appears in the quest list if it is supposed to be completed before leaving the town. Currently you have to complete the candle quest otherwise you cannot talk to the priest for the final time before leaving the town without him only answering about the candles (after you collect the toys) .

If you can make it, a video example would be useful. Thank you.
