01

Your first minutes in the forest

Step
In short Getting your first tools made is the single most important thing you can do at the start.

You begin empty-handed in the forest. Chopping trees is the first action worth doing because the wood becomes the raw material for every early tool and weapon. Once you have tools, you can mine stone and other resources to upgrade your gear further.

  1. Chop a tree swing at any tree you see to collect your first wood.
  2. Mine a resource find a rock and mine it to gather stone for crafting.
  3. Craft tools and weapons use what you have gathered to build better equipment before pushing forward.
  4. Hunt an animal kill wildlife and cook the meat to restore health.
  5. Try fishing bodies of water let you catch fish as an alternative food source.
  6. Head to a village villages let you rest and store the items you have gathered.

Distance milestones and pacing

Check
In short Treat each milestone as its own goal rather than staring at the full 100 km from the start.

The game measures your progress in kilometres, and the finish line sits at KM 100. Badges unlock at KM 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100, so those five numbers make natural short-term targets.

  • KM 10 reached your first progress badge.
  • KM 25 reached you are a quarter of the way through.
  • KM 50 reached the halfway point.
  • KM 75 reached three-quarters done.
  • KM 100 reached the final goal.
  • Village found rest up and store your supplies.
03

Playing with friends

Tips
In short A full squad of four makes the run much safer because downed players can be brought back.

You can bring up to three friends along, playing in a group of four total. The biggest advantage over solo is the ability to revive a fallen teammate rather than losing them for good.

Tips worth knowing
  • Revive teammates when they go down — this is your biggest co-op advantage.
  • To earn the Flawless Squad badge, all four players must finish the full 100 km without a single death — so keep reviving each other.
04

Side events and optional activities along the road

Summary
In short The road between forests and villages hides minigames and special objects that are worth stopping for.

Survival is the main loop, but several one-off encounters and objects reward you with badges and can break up the walk. None of these are required to finish, but they add variety and some carry real rewards.

  • Basketball hoop score a basket once for First Score; hit 50 baskets for Wrong Game.
  • Shell game guess correctly to earn Lucky Guess; lose three times in a row for Are You Sure?
  • Old man help him out and earn the Good Samaritan badge.
  • Wish well use it once to unlock Wish Granted.
  • Treasure map follow a map to a chest and grab X Marks the Spot.
  • Bear trap lure a bear into one to pick up That Makes Sense.
05

Combat encounters and enemy loot

Tips
In short Some enemies drop unique items, and a pyromaniac can be beaten with its own weapon.

Not every threat on the road is a wild animal. Named enemies carry special items or create tricky situations that reward creative play.

Tips worth knowing
  • Kill a pyromaniac with a molotov to earn Own Taste.
  • A Warrior enemy can drop a Warrior Helmet when killed, unlocking Warrior's Gift.

Hard-mode challenge runs

Warn
In short These three badge conditions are only worth attempting once you can finish a normal run comfortably.

Once reaching KM 100 feels routine, you can add self-imposed restrictions that unlock special badges.

Worth watching out for
Pacifist requires finishing without killing a single enemy.
Going Vegan means reaching KM 100 without eating any meat or fish.
Flawless Squad needs a full party of four to cross the finish line with zero deaths between them.

FAQ

No — the Going Vegan badge proves you can finish the full 100 km without eating any meat or fish.
