Smalland: Survive the Wilds is a game about small human beings and dangerous insects. Players can survive in different weather conditions, fight insects, build their home and create things. There is a decent amount of items in the Smalland game, from clothes to decorative elements in the house. As you progress, you will have to achieve technological perfection gradually. Smalland was created by developers from the Merge Games studio, who managed to provide players with a very impressive product.
Having received the first task from the elder, our hero needs to find a suitable path to pass. The passage may be difficult due to hostile insects and weather conditions. To survive in difficult weather conditions you need to build a small house in a safe place. Also prepare for the battle with the first boss.
Walkthrough of the Elder’s first task in the game Smalland.
As soon as they appear in the main hole of the tribe, the main character goes outside and collects all available resources. On the way, you come across the first character “Ern”, who offers to help in creating the armor. He also informs the hero that the “Elder” was looking for him and would like to report the events that happened. Taking advantage of Ern’s offer, we produce the most suitable armor, with protection from the cold.
Going down the road, we find an elder and a laboratory with a locked chest. In the laboratory itself, you can collect all the suitable resources and examine the locked chest. After the dialogue, it turns out that a resident of the laboratory and the key to the chest have disappeared. And also about the problems of the tribe, where insect attacks occur on the inhabitants of the holes. In both cases and tasks, our hero will need to independently find answers to the elder’s tasks. The first task will be to protect the tribe from insect attacks.
A task from an elder, protecting the tribe from insects, in the game Smalland.
Considering the position and capabilities of our character, we need to first prepare and obtain all the necessary items. Leaving the laboratory with the elder, we continue collecting resources and build the first small house with a fire and a bed. It is advisable to build all this next to the laboratory, since the location is quite safe. Having collected the required amount of mushrooms, interact with the fire and prepare the first portion of food.
So, we have at our disposal three further points and three characters “Kalev”, “Skadi” and “Drustan”. We suggest you forget about the character “Drustan” for a certain period, you can go there, but you will only lose time. Since the road is very difficult and upon arrival at “Drustana” there will not be a proper result. “Drustana” will offer to make very good armor, which is still too early to obtain, and insects are deadly.
1. We visit the character “Kalev”, in the game Smalland.
Therefore, the second character after Ern will be “Kalev”, since the road to it is not very difficult and is closer to the character “Skadi”. One of the difficulties will be the bad weather conditions that may begin after crossing to the other side. Having crossed to the other bank along a tree where there are a lot of mushrooms, it is advisable to build a small house. It is possible to build such a house directly on a fallen tree, since it is a safe place.
From Kalev we receive information on stone technology and the opportunity to make stone armor. The stone could have been mined earlier if they had guessed to attack the “Bull Ant” and get its fangs. From the fangs of the “Bull Ant” we will need to make a “Pickaxe”, with which we will mine the stone. Near the character “Kalev” it is advisable to build a temporary place to stay for the night and build a “Workbench”.
The required number of “Bull Ant” insects and the “Stone” resource are located next to the “Kalev” character. We fill our pockets with resources and produce stone armor. Stone armor will allow you to fight the Black Pine Longhorn beetle and increase survivability. Before fighting the Black Pine Longhorn beetle, you should already have crafted a weapon such as the Wooden Sword or, better yet, the Stone Spear. Defeating the Black Pine Beetle beetles provides the rare resource Chitin, which will be useful for continued development.
We create a “Stone-Cutting Machine” machine and stone weapons in the game Smalland.
Our hero already has stone armor and the required amount of chitin, 4 pieces. We create a “Rough Ax” in the “Workbench” to advance in development and make weapons from stone. Having created the “Rough Axe”, we set out to extract resources from plants that could not be cut down with a wooden ax. Such plants include “Poppy” and plants with seeds on the top. By cutting down such plants, it will be important to obtain “Seeds” in order to be able to manufacture further items.
If you have the required amount of resources to build the Stone-Cutting Machine, then you can stay at the base and build it. To build a “Stone Cutting Machine” you will need 10 units of stone, 10 units of wood, 1 unit of bottle cap and 1 unit of screw. Having collected all the resources, we build a machine at our base on a tree in order to be able to move it to another place for free. We immediately inspect all possible items for manufacturing, the most important for us is weapons made of stone.
Resource locations for the Stone Cutting Machine.
Everything is clear with stone and wood; these resources are easily accessible. In the case of “Screws” and “Lids,” things are a little more complicated, but you can still find them. In most cases, “Lids” are found on sandy shores, in the amount of about 1 piece per shore. There may be more “screws” in one place, about 2-3 pieces, some can also be found on the shore in the initial location, near the bridge.
Advice:
Try to tame the “Ladybug”, thanks to her you can significantly speed up the development and collection of resources. The ladybug acts as a chest in which you can put many different resources. Capacity is 20 places, with limited capacity for each resource type. Additional pockets will not be superfluous, given the large number of available resources.
We make weapons from stone in the game Smalland.
Weapons made of stone, “Stone Spear” and “Stone Hammer” will help make battles with insects much easier. Therefore, the next important task will be to make good stone weapons.
Weapon: stone spear.
The stone spear deals 10-14 piercing damage and has a 5% chance of a critical hit. To attack with a stone spear, stamina is consumed in the amount of 20 units per hit. A stone spear can make it possible to block an enemy attack in the amount of 8 units. The durability of the stone spear is 250 units.
To create a “Stone Spear” you will need resources: fiber 5 units, resin 4 units, stone 8 units, and processed wood 4 units. We collect fiber, resin and stone from places where we have already been; the stone must be in the required quantity. But with processed wood, things are a little more complicated; first you need to find seeds and make “Oil from Seeds”, then make processed wood. We get seeds from plants with seeds on the top; to cut them down, we must already have a “Rough Hatchet”.
Weapon stone hammer.
The stone hammer deals 16-18 crushing damage and has a 5% critical strike chance. One attack consumes 20 units of energy; if you swing a heavy attack, much more energy is spent. The blocking power of an enemy attack is 8 units. The stone hammer has a durability of 224 units.
To create a stone hammer weapon, you will need 5 units of fiber, 5 units of resin, 10 units of stone, and 4 units of processed wood. We collect stone, resin and fiber from accessible and known places. We obtain processed wood from the Stone-Cutting Machine by processing several resources. Processed wood can be obtained from “Seed Oil”, which is produced from the “Seed” resource.
2. We go to the character “Skadi”, in the game Smalland.
The character “Skadi” is the next accurate one in completing the elder’s task. We suggest going to Skadi, choosing beetle opponents from which you can get “Chitin”. In our opinion, having a stone weapon, fighting beetles is much easier than fighting a flock of bees. Bees will be needed to obtain the “Insect Hair” resource; in their case, it is better to choose a smaller number, 3-4 pieces. However, you can choose the path yourself based on your playing style.
Having reached Skadi, you can get information about the attack on the tribe, that is, on himself, and the place of the dangerous insect “Rhinoceros Beetle”. “Rhino Beetle” is the first boss that our hero will need to defeat. Defeating the beetle will give you further progress and a valuable reward in the form of a “Treat for the Gecko.”
Armor set from Skadi.
You can also learn from Skadi about more advanced armor sets “Primal Armor” and “Chitin Armor”. The difference in the kits lies in the protection indicators and production costs. We recommend taking the time to produce a set of “Primal Armor”, as it has good protection against cold and slightly less protection against insect attacks.
To create “Primal Armor” you will need the resources of insect hair, bones and amphibian skin. Insect hair is obtained from bees, and amphibian bones and skin from “Gecko”. Before hunting such opponents, it is advisable to stock up on “bandages”; the more, the better. We go down to the shore, from Skadi’s house, along the road you can meet the “Bull Ant” and “Bees”. On the shore, there will mainly be beetles and geckos, from which you can collect resources to create armor.
We are preparing for the battle with the boss “Rhino Beetle” in the game Smalland.
Before completing Skadi’s task and attacking the “rhino beetle”, you need to be well prepared. The main task of preparation is to create a good set of armor for Skadi and make good weapons. The next stage in creating good weapons will be flint technology. First, we will need to collect the required amount of “Flint”, which is scattered along the entire coast, in the area where Skadi is located.
Having gone down to the shore, we begin clearing away existing enemies, gecko beetles and others. Along the way we collect resources, our main task is “Flint” and plants with seeds. In general, we collect everything that is there, fill our pockets with resources and return to the base or to Skadi. At the base, we interact with the “Stone-Cutting Machine” machine and produce “Flintlock Weapons”. It is advisable to immediately produce all available flint weapons and tools, flint spear, flint sword, flint axe, flint pick and flint shears. All flint tools and weapons will significantly speed up the passage. Flint tools produce resources quickly, and weapons deal more damage.
Battle with the boss “Rhino Beetle”, in the game Smalland.
Before the attack, it is important to make a set of armor from Skadi, a flint weapon and a sufficient number of bandages, about 3 slots. If all these things are already there, then you can continue the passage and attack the beetle. During the battle, you need to try to evade his enhanced attacks. The beetle will try to move away to make a running attack. In this case, you need to dodge to the side in time. While the beetle is at a distance, you can shoot with a bow, but when approaching, change it to a suitable weapon. After each first injury, treat immediately with bandages.
Having defeated the “Rhino Beetle” we receive from him a trophy in the form of a horn, this horn must be taken to Skadi to receive the reward. Having come to Skadi, he will give a further passage point, a new character “Lysandra” will appear on the map. As a reward for a defeated enemy, Skadi will give you the recipe for a “Gecko Treat”. Using the prepared recipe, you can tame a gecko and make it a riding partner. The gecko has a good supply of health and is not bad at fighting in close combat.
We go to the character Lysander.
After completing the task from Skadi and defeating the “Rhino Beetle”, we can continue to complete the task from the “Elder” to protect the tribe. The next character who needs help is called “Lysandra”, her coordinates were provided to us by Skadi. We go to her and receive a new task where we need to defeat the “Giant Spider”. The task is not easy, just like the whole area, spiders with poisonous attacks are swarming around. Before you go to fight the “Giant Spider” boss, you need to be well prepared.
Arriving at the character Nok, she reports her problem, that a dangerous insect “Black Hornet” lives in her area. The Black Hornet’s attacks are almost the same as 2 Albino Giant Spiders, causing poisonous effects. The procedure for preparing for battle is almost the same as for the character “Lysander”. There should be elixirs of life, elixirs that increase stamina and antidote. With these resources it is much easier to win.
Before attacking the Black Hornet, it is advisable to collect new resources and build new machines. It would be a good idea to create the Chitin Bow weapon to deal increased damage to the Black Hornet boss and be at a safe distance. The main weapons against the Black Hornet are the Chitin Bow and the Spear. While the boss is far away, you can safely shoot from the “Chitin Bow”; as soon as you get closer to the character, we attack with the “Spear”.
Battle with the Rainbow Horn Beetle.
After completing the task from Nok, we are given the opportunity to make an advanced set of iron armor. Therefore, we linger in the Nok location, collect all the necessary resources and produce “Iron Armor”. Without the Iron Armor set, it is advisable not to attack the Rainbow Horn Beetle boss. Therefore, we continue to collect the required amount of resources for armor, if there are none.
Also, for a successful battle with the boss “Rainbow Horn Beetle” you will need “Elixirs of Life” and “Elixirs of Stamina”, as well as a tamed comrade. In our opinion, “Gecko” will be the most suitable ally for battle, it can carry out attacks and take attention. The beetle has a lot of health and deals quite strong attacks, which makes it difficult to fight without an ally. Therefore, we prepare well and only then enter new territory.
The road to the Rainbow Horn Beetle.
As soon as you have entered a new location where the Rainbow Horn Beetle lives, it is advisable to go to the left (up the map). This will make the passage much easier, but you still need to get to the beetle; for this you need to build a structure from foundations and stairs. This path is difficult to build and easy to fight, since “Lizards” and “Locusts” can live there. The other path is much more difficult in battle if you go to the right side, as there are strong beetles.
Before the start of the battle, it is advisable to drink elixirs and make the first attacks with ranged weapons. When the boss comes into close combat, you need to switch to a melee weapon. Crushing and cutting weapons such as swords and hammers are suitable. The gecko should provide good support and also make attacks on the boss. After defeating the Rainbow Horn Beetle boss, you need to return to the Elder and return the Key to him. The Elder will provide the Dragonfly Taming Treat reward for defeating the beetle. That’s it, this will complete the first task from the “Elder”.
