Your first camp, meal & open door

Start here: food, the first door and a safer return to camp.

The short answer

Cook before you explore. For the opening food check, prepare the apple and mushroom at camp, eat, and drink from the fountain before trying the door again.

Get moving

  1. Gather sticks and the food around the starting camp.
  2. Use the camp cooking setup for the apple and mushroom. Watch the food rather than leaving it unattended.
  3. Eat and drink, then return to the opening door.
  4. Once you reach the main hall, use it as a return point while opening nearby routes.

Before leaving camp

Use a sleeping bag’s spawn-setting option. Bring light, food and some free inventory space. Store spare materials so that a trip back does not become a search for one missing ingredient.

The dungeon is interconnected: a blocked route can be a reason to return with a tool, rather than a dead end. See the Hammer guide when rusty fences stop you.

Save deliberately

Use Save & Exit to Main Menu or the application-exit equivalent. Do not rely on an assumed autosave interval.
