Once Human: Beginner Guide

Blurry Pumpkin BackgroundIn the infamous "A Night to Remember" quest, the player is challenged to a drinking contest by Sam Guevenne ( later revealed to be the Daedric Prince Sanguine ), who also offers a staff should the Dragonborn best him. Accepting the offer will inevitably end with the player falling unconscious and then waking up in a Temple of Dibella. Thus begins the player’s quest to find Sam Guevenne and claim the st

Hunger and dehydration will deplete your health and stamina , ultimately slowing you down and leaving you vulnerable. Make sure to always have food and purified water on hand whenever you go out exploring.

Updated on October 22, 2024, by Lucas Simons: A new season began with Way Of Winter, and the new map has introduced the Hypothermia mechanic to the game. This also means new Memetics need to be unlocked first since there are new Gear to craft and useful consumables needed for Cold Weather Expeditions. To simplify things, we've updated the order in which these need to be acquired to manage a good Cypher balance between crucial unlocks and Quality Of Life unlockables that are also needed to progress further down the main quest. Needless to say, there's no need to unlock all these in the specific order, but keep an eye out for the Polar Expedition I and Leatherworking, since these are much needed in the new run of Once Human. Some of the key Memetics have been reduced both in Cypher cost and Energy Link cost, so we've also updated those specific deta

Yet another instance is "The Affairs of Hagravens" quest. This one is unique in that it allows the player to speak to a hagraven and even team up with them. The premise is quite simple: help Melka the hagraven retake her tower from another hagraven. What’s interesting, however, is the fact that Melka cannot speak complex sentences. She doesn’t even recognize the player’s race, mistaking humanoid races as Bretons, and Khajiit and Argonians as O

Several materials like Metallic Fiber and Refined Parts can only be obtained by using the Disassembly Bench , and they'll need them for intermediate and advanced crafting. So, it's easy to say that this memetic is the key to everything in the g

White Cliff is a level 50 Rosetta POI, and it is a tough one for players who are either too low-level or don’t have decent gear. However, once a player has access to tier 5 armor and weaponry, and has suitably upgraded it through the calibration process, they should be able to tackle this POI without too many probl

You can't unlock everything under the different Memetics branches right away. You will need to start from the top of each branch , and make your way down in order to unlock the more complex and powerful Memetics.

Don't worry about making decisions when it comes to Memetics because you are given the option to reset your points if you ever change your mind. You will need to be deliberate about it though, because only 70 percent of what you spent will be refunded .

Once Human also cross-Play features a Sanity meter that depletes when you're exposed to corrupted areas, face a tough enemy, or enter contaminated water. Losing your sanity affects your health and stamina , making you weaker and more susceptible to environmental hazards.

As a polluted POI, it does have a pretty nasty boss wandering around, so low-level players would be better off farming one of the two POIs that were covered in a previous section. For players up to around level 35, this POI is still worth farming, as the player will not have gained access to tier 5 weapons and gear yet, making the more advanced POIs a little tough to farm without spending a fortune on materials for ammo and activat

These creatures are kept in Independent Secure Units on your base, and there are ways to keep them comfy to stay efficient . For instance, some Deviations prefer colored lights and others like being surrounded by plants .

The Crossbow is one of the best early-game weapons in Once Human . While you get a basic crossbow in the intro mission, you should craft a Tier II Crossbow (or higher) as soon as you have established your base and built the Gear Workbench .

The best memetics players can unlock are directly related to their character's progression, so we have put a list of the ones they need to unlock first to unlock more gear, tools, vehicles, weapons, and advanced construct

Further ahead, when unlocking Polar Expedition II, players will be able to craft a Portable Lantern and Chaosium to fuel it. This gear is crafted in the Intermediate Supplies Station and uses Chaosium to provide lasting heat, more so than Thermoium. Unlock this Memetic line as fast as possi

Besides this, Crossbows deal decent damage and can take down enemies from a safer distance , minimizing the risk of getting close to their attacks. This makes hunting wildlife and killing monsters a lot easier. As you progress, you can upgrade the Crossbow to make it even stronger.

The upper-left corner of your screen is where you'll find the link to the Memetic Specialization menu . These specializations grant unique buffs that improve your performance in the four different Memetics branches.
