Tribes of Midgard is the newest survival game to grace the screens of players everywhere. In this title, players must face off against various enemies, including giants, as Ragnarok quickly approaches. Players can join up to nine friends to take on Ragnarok together.
This new survival game is difficult to get the hang of at first. It moves quickly and within a few days, the giants start to arrive. Players will need to get prepared, gather resources, upgrade their base, and get ready for battle. This is all easier said than done. Eternal winter is here.
10 Keep Track Of Souls
Souls are perhaps a player's greatest resource in the game, as they are the lifeblood of the seed of Yggdrasil. Players can spend their souls at the tree to raise its health and keep it alive. Players can also use souls to upgrade all the various parts of the village. These upgrades include the gates, archery towers, blacksmith, armorsmith, trapper, and tinker.
Outside of the village are other structures that players can spend souls to fix up like bridges, the quarry, lumbermill, and farm. The only way player will lose their souls is if they die out in the world. Pay attention to how many souls are stored at any given time, and be careful not to lose them.
9 Gather Resources Quickly
Players will need resources to do just about anything in Tribes of Midgard. Many of the upgrades around the village, as well as crafting recipes, require resources from around the world.
Luckily, players can choose to start off with tools so that they can gather resources faster. If that kit isn't chosen from the start, remember it only takes a couple of resources to get the ax and pick. As soon as a player has access to those items, they can start chopping down trees and mining for iron and stone.
8 Make Upgrades A Priority
Various upgrades will help players survive in the Saga mode. Among the most important of these are the facilities: the lumberyard, farm, and quarry. Each of these is necessary for survival. The quarry will automatically generate stone and iron to use for building. The lumberyard will automatically do the same for wood resources. The farm will allow players to get meat and leather, which becomes rare when winter comes along.
Other upgrades to make a priority are the villagers. Each of the villagers is necessary, but the tinker and blacksmith are perhaps the most important for survival.
7 Always Activate Shrines
Shrines can be found scattered about the world. These useful structures allow players to fast travel to various areas and back to the village. These shrines are great for getting back to areas that haven't been fully explored. They are also useful for when giants come.
If players have a shrine activated in the same direction the giant is coming from, they can quickly fast travel closer to the giant. These shrines are invaluable tools that players should always make sure to get. They are represented by small grey stars on the mini-map and turn gold when activated.
6 Take Advantage Of The War Chest
The war chest in the village is convenient for both multiplayer and solo play. This chest sits near the armorer, and can house items that can be shared between every player in the game.
Items in the chest can be used while stored, and don't need to be transferred back into the player's inventory unless they are upgrading the facilities outside of the village. Best of all, items remain in the chest even if the player dies. It is important to keep items in here so they can never be lost.
5 Handle Enemies Effectively
Players can handle enemies in many different ways. Some players may attack using specific weapons, some might want to block a lot, and others might want to use the terrain to their advantage.
It is well-known that players will die if they roll into the water — and the same is true for enemies. Use the terrain to its advantage and push tougher enemies into the water to take care of them easily. Their loot will still appear on land for easy pick-up.
4 Use Enemies To Your Advantage
Some enemies can cause damage to the environment — mainly the larger ones, but some of the smaller ones can as well. Players can kite enemies over to trees to destroy them, getting easy access to the loot that drops. Doing this early can lead to some fast resources. This is a great trick to use when out adventuring and the player's ax breaks.
Trees can also be destroyed by using a weapon's special ability. Next time the group is out adventuring, make sure to bring an extra sword when it's not clear how much life is left in the ax.
3 Complete Quests
Near the center of the village is a quest board where quests get posted periodically. Always grab whatever quest is available and complete it while out adventuring. This will help further the number of resources that the players have access to.
Each completed quest rewards the players with various resources and items. Of course, these resources should go into village upgrades to help the players survive for a longer period of time.
2 Understand Your Class
There are a total of eight classes in Tribes of Midgard: Ranger, Warrior, Seer, Warden, Guardian, Hunter, Berserker, and Sentinel. Each of these classes has its own special abilities that players can utilize. Of course, when playing multiplayer, players should choose different classes to really get a variety of abilities.
Check over whatever class is chosen. Players can check each class's abilities from the menu. Doing this will help players understand the class they are choosing and help them understand what abilities to invest blessing points into.
1 Take Advantage Of The Blood Moon
Every few days, a blood moon will brings in tougher enemies. The night after, no Helthings will come after the village. Players should use this to their advantage.
If there is a far-off area that players want to search, they should wait until after a blood moon. No enemies will spawn, so players can safely take the entire night to search the area, collect resources, and farm enemies for souls.
