Part 3

Navigate the early hours of Prey! Learn essential controls, master quicksaves, and gather vital resources to survive your first day on Talos I.

Alright, let's dive into Part 3 of our Prey adventure! This section is all about getting you oriented with the game's controls and the very beginning of your journey on Talos I. Think of it as your essential toolkit before things get wild.

First off, let's get a handle on the controls. It might seem like a lot, but you'll get the hang of it quickly. Here's a breakdown:

Now, before we jump into the actual gameplay, here are some super useful tips and tricks to keep in mind. These will make your life on Talos I a whole lot easier.

• This might be your first time playing Prey, but don't worry if you haven't played the older games – this one's a fresh start!
• Seriously, use QUICKSAVE. A lot. Whenever you're about to try something risky, hit that button. If it goes south, you can just quickload and try again.
• Upgrade your INVENTORY as soon as you possibly can. Having more space is a game-changer, letting you carry more of everything you need.
• With that extra inventory space, you can carry plenty of food and drink. Use these to heal up before you dip into your medkit stash.
• Whenever possible, try to use the environmental healing stations (Operators) before your own supplies. It's a great way to conserve your valuable items.
• Don't be afraid to grab all the junk you can carry! RECYCLE it at a fabricator. You'll get a ton of crafting materials, and trust me, you'll be really glad you did later on.
• Aim to get a FULLY UPGRADED SHOTGUN and COMBAT FOCUS as soon as you can. This combo is incredibly powerful and can carry you through a lot of the game.
• Important Note: There's a big choice in the game regarding trophies: using Human Abilities OR Typhon Abilities. If trophies aren't your main concern, feel free to mix and match! However, this guide is written assuming you're focusing on HUMAN ABILITIES.

Okay, with those tips in mind, let's start Chapter 1: First Day on the Job.

You'll wake up to a call from your brother, Alex, explaining the basics of what Morgan's signed up for. It's your first day, and you've got an objective: Put on your TranStar Uniform.

Pro-Tip: You can hit the TOUCHPAD anytime to bring up your menu and check your objectives. It's a great way to catch up on the story and understand *why* you're doing what you're doing.

Before you head off to get suited up, take a moment to explore your apartment. In the kitchen area, you'll find two notes: [_CONGRATS!_] and [_THE METHOD.SCI_]. These will be added to your inventory under 'Data - Notes'.

Don't worry about finding every single note; there's no trophy for it, and I'll point out the important ones as we go.

You'll also find a good amount of food and drink scattered around the kitchen. Raid the counters, cupboards, and fridge for these items:

• [_KINGS & WAY SPARKING WINE_]
• [_SUN-DRIED TOMATO JERKY x2_]
• [_GLUCASSIST!_]
• [_SKYKING POMEGRANATE_]
• [_COLD MOUNTAIN GREEN TEA x2_]

Heads Up: These aren't just for show! Each food and drink item you find can restore some of your health, similar to how you'd manage health in games like System Shock or Deus Ex. It's a nice little survival mechanic!

While you're in the kitchen, grab the two books from the counter and a shelf: [_ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FOOD SCIENCE AND COOKING_] and [_HEART OF THE WOK_]. You'll also notice you can lift the fridge...
