Strength

[WinterN]

How do I get strength in the early game? Wikis tell me pumpkin flesh, but that gives constitution. They also tell me stuff like boar meat, bear meat, and sausages. But I don't have enough strength to take down a boar or a bear, and sausages that give strength require those meats! Plus I don't have enough strength to capture cows, so cheese is out of the question right now. Help pls

Boars can be hunted across cliffs with 10mm and a q10 bow, 1 arrow to make it flee, use blue punches on it until it dies. Bears can be cheesed using boat/branch stockpiles and archery.

Before bows you can use ant soldiers and yellowfeet mushrooms for strength.

I have pretty high perception due to all those carrots too. Also, little question buddy, I know, I'm a newbie, but the heck's a blue punch?

dog hips, ant soldiers, those new mushroom things

but realistically bear meat is all u ever need as far as str goes, it is OP and easy to get

even as a fresh nub if u just use boats and archery it is very straightforward



(it usually only takes 2 boats)

Remember to not use the character that the animal is trying to attack to place the boats. The "blue punch" is left hook. With your beginner skills you should put 1 of each attack/defense (5 total) until you get more.

If you use a green or red attack on boars one of their defenses can be triggered to attack you even when they are fleeing.
