Learn how to survive your shipwreck in Outward. This guide covers finding essential items like torches, Gaberries, and harpoons, plus tips for fighting hyenas and managing your inventory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leave no stone unturned when exploring the starting beach area.
  2. 2
    Locate and pick up the torch to your left, near the cliff face, to automatically equip it.
  3. 3
    Head towards the small bush on the beach, directly ahead from the wooden walkway, and loot it for Gaberries.
  4. 4
    Continue along the shore and loot tattered clothing (to prevent cold deterioration) and seaweed.
  5. 5
    Remove the tattered clothing in hot environments to avoid a heat debuff that causes all actions to consume 50% more stamina.
  6. 6
    Follow the small stream to the left until you find wreckage containing a harpoon. Loot the harpoon and drink from the stream to prevent thirst.
  7. 7
    Walk up and along the cliff ridge to find a brazier. Loot the bandages beneath it and any Gaberries to your left.
  8. 8
    Go to the tent at the top of the cliff edge and speak with Yzan Argenson. He will offer a bedroll. Do not sleep yet.
  9. 9
    Go to the beach area behind the cliff edge and loot the junk pile.
  10. 10
    If hungry, return to Yzan and eat the bread from the basket behind him.
  11. 11
    Head south-west from the tent until you see a stone archway. Go through it and to the left to find a pickaxe on the other side of the rubble where you found the harpoon.
  12. 12
    Return to the archway and loot the machete from the dead body slumped on a nearby rock.
  13. 13
    Head into the fields to the south, being cautious of two large hyenas. Drop any overburdening equipment, like the pickaxe, before fighting.
  14. 14
    Use the harpoon for its reach advantage over the machete. Equip your tattered clothing for light protection.
  15. 15
    Keep your distance from the hyenas until ready to fight. Draw one hyena away from the other to fight them individually.
  16. 16
    Use swift light attacks and evade the hyena's lunges with sidesteps or dodges. Avoid spamming attacks to conserve stamina.
  17. 17
    After looting both hyenas, pick up any dropped items.
  18. 18
    Return to Yzan and use the bedroll to sleep.
  19. 19
    Gather wood from trees by approaching and looting them (each loot provides 3 wood). Be mindful of carry weight.
Tips
  • Don't loot every torch found on the beach, as their weight can add up and consume valuable inventory space.
  • The tattered clothing prevents health deterioration due to cold but causes a 50% stamina consumption increase for all actions in hot environments.
  • The awareness range of hyenas is high; maintain distance until prepared to engage.
  • When fighting hyenas, wait for their lunge animation to evade and then strike.
  • Conserve stamina to avoid incoming attacks, as it only takes a few hits to be killed at this point.
  • When resting using the bedroll, note that resting depletes mana, increases ambush chance over time, and you can choose to guard to reduce ambush chances.
