In this article, I’d like to talk about how to explore and progress through the map in Smalland: Survive the Wilds. “I’m just speaking from a personal point of view, so I hope you’ll take it as a reference.”

It’s quick, but I think you know that this work has a story part. I think the process will differ slightly depending on whether you want to focus on this part of the story or whether you just want to enjoy crafting in the early access stage.

Here, in order to focus on the story part and the equipment part, I will talk about what route to explore and proceed efficiently.

The map below was created by gluing together, so it’s a little ugly, but I hope you can see the whole picture. I would like to touch on the arrows marked on the map.

When the game starts, NPC Herne guides you in order of elders, and the survival of a free-spirited dwarf (Smallfolk) begins. “Generally, you will first visit Karev to strengthen your armor.”

The light blue arrow extending from Karef means which way to go depending on the purpose. If you want to tame grasshoppers, visit Skadi and clear the boss battle, and if you want to obtain armor that allows you to glide, visit Dorstana. “Crafting armor that allows you to glide requires equipment, so it will take some time and effort.”

red arrow

As you know, in order to advance in the game, it is necessary to acquire strong armor and strong weapons. “Of course, it’s a good game to aim for clearing with early gear, but I’ll refrain from doing so here.”

Obtaining armor that MilMechs can craft will be necessary to progress smoothly. Therefore, starting with Milmech and proceeding with the red arrow is the route that allows you to progress through the story part while strengthening your armor.

The yellow arrows represent boss-killing tasks required to unlock craftable armor and taming food for each NPC.

Bring the item you got by defeating the boss and visit the elder to clear the story part in the early access stage.

First of all, what I personally felt about Smalland: Survive the Wilds is that although there is a story, the progress itself is up to the player. “In other words, you can leave the story behind and work on your craft.” “On the other hand, it would be nice to clear the story part first and then enjoy the craft elements to your heart’s content.”

In fact, at the moment it’s in the early access stage, so the story part can only be progressed halfway. “Therefore, at this stage, the possible way to proceed with the game would be as follows.”

Next, refer to each NPC and armor and find your own way to enjoy it.

This is the first NPC you meet. “This is where you can craft basic armor and show us the way to visit the elders.”

The armor that Herne can craft is rudimentary, head armor does not currently exist. “You have two options: move ability or focus on cold resistance.” “Of course, you can also enjoy the combination.”

Protection up with stone armor. “They also tell us about stone cutters that process stones.”

If you want to take on the Rhino Beetle, have them craft the Stone Series.

An NPC that teaches you the recipes for the food you need to tame grasshoppers.

I personally felt that it was not necessary to obtain the armor here. Because I thought it would be better to put up with the Regal series, which can glide, and the Bone series, which is one step stronger.

Complete the rhino beetle subjugation request and get the grasshopper food recipe.

An NPC that can craft gliding armor. In order to obtain it, it is necessary to gather the necessary materials and prepare the equipment to craft the materials.

The glide ability is given to the torso, so in extreme cases, it is possible to glide if only the torso is equipped. It feels good to use this to glide from the top of the Great Tree to your destination.

We believe that the Bone series crafted by this NPC is very important for moving forward. “It will be difficult to collect the materials, but I recommend that you do your best to craft it.”

Equip only the bone plate (torso), and then the acid series would be fine. “I think it will be useful in the next boss fight, Black Hornet.”

Here, you can hear information related to the story, and you can craft the Iron Wing series, which is currently the strongest glide equipment.

Currently, the iron wing series that I also love to use for the torso part. “It is necessary to win the battle against the Black Hornet.”

I subjugated it with a bow and a fire arrow.

It’s a painful place for those who are not good at spiders. “What’s more, they even teach you bait recipes for taming spiders.”

A weapon that specializes in movement speed.

To get the Wolf Spider Food Recipe, you need to kill the Giant Albino Spider.。

I live in a place that is surprisingly easy to overlook. I got information about its existence from Knock, but I myself discovered it after defeating the final boss in early access and clearing the story.

As the name suggests, this armor has a healing effect. “It’s also resistant to poison, so it’s an armor series that can be used unexpectedly.”

Defeating the Spider Queen will allow her to craft armor for you.

It doesn’t matter, but I love stag beetles. “It’s cool and it really hurts when you get caught.” “Now then, let’s get back to the topic.”

This King Stag Beetle is the final boss in the early access stage. Defeat it, obtain the clover key, and visit the Elder to obtain the [damselfly food recipe].

King Stag Beetle will drop the clover key, so get it, visit the elder, and open the clover safe to clear it.

The damselfly is characterized by an operation that rises while stamina is consumed by holding down the jump button. It’s an insect that you can enjoy walking in the air, but it’s also a delicate vehicle that will submerge if you don’t raise it while moving on a river.
