The Canteen can be refilled at any water source and used whenever you want. One unit of water will completely replenish your hydration gauge. When you pick up your first Canteen, a new icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the HUD, indicating how much water can be stored (collecting more canteens lets you store more water). consuming food and drinks ( Beer Bottle, Beer Can, Canned Food, etc.)Įvery time you do one of the aforementioned actions the hydration will stop decreasing for a few minutes, depending on your Difficulty settings.drinking from a Water Source (water pumps, natural springs, fountains, water taps, etc.).

The hydration gauge can be replenished in different ways:

The hydration level decreases faster or slower depending on several conditions: faster in sunlit areas, slower in shadowy or indoor ones faster if running or climbing, slower if walking faster if the Body Armor is equipped, slower if you wear the Soccer Team Hat. The hydration gauge is a blue circle around the health and stamina meters. DO NOT equip Working Gloves, which are not suitable for climbing.īeing set on a sun-drenched Mediterranean island in summer, the survival aspect of the game is mainly focused on hydration (hunger is not an issue for the story takes place across few days food is just one way to recover health).

Tip: equip the Climbing Gloves to greatly improve your stamina in climbing. If the gouge reaches zero, Daphne will loose her grip and fall. Hanging from a handhold slowly decreases your meter, while jumping handhold-to-handhold will consume a fixed amount of stamina (this is why you should jump only if necessary, and use directionals to move whenever possible). Few times you'll have to take your chances a take a leap of faith.Ĭlimbing, like running, consumes stamina. Tip: if you don't see any "safe handhold" around you, remember that Daphne can automatically grab on any handhold or ledge that is on her reach after a "free fall" jump. If the cursor changes its shape (like two arrows pointing outwards) that means that you can safely press the jump button to let Daphne climb on that hold. To jump from one handhold to another, point your cursor towards a handhold around you. In this mode you can move horizontally along the ledge or climb vertically above you if there's a handhold close enough to be reached without jumping. By pressing the jump button in front of a handhold, Daphne will enter the climbing mode (Daphne will also automatically grab to a handhold if you reach it after a leap). Tip: equip the Kneepads to reduce fall damage.ĭaphne can use her skills to climb on walls - both natural or artificial - provided that there are handholds and ledges, which can be highlighted using Perception. The damage amount increases depending on the height of the fall however, regardless of your current health, the fall won't instantly kill you unless you fell from 10 meters or your status was critical (less than 5% of health). Falling from more than 5.5 meters causes Daphne to lose health. One thing to always take into account is fall damage. Tip: during the game you may face few difficult jumps that require you to leap at the very last moment once you find the right timing for jumping (usually a step further from where you would instinctively jump) the game becomes a lot easier. Also remember that other wearable items, like the Gas Mask and the Body Armor, negatively affect stamina.ĭaphne can climb on pretty much any flat surface up to 2.5 meters, and she can perform fairly long jumps. Tip: to increase your stamina for running you can equip Sneakers and Running Shoes. Once the stamina runs out, Daphne will stop running and you'll need to wait a few seconds before the stamina gauge replenishes enough to start running again. Escaping from enemies is usually the best option, especially if you find yourself outnumbered.īy default, in Survival Mode, Daphne can run continuously for 32 seconds before depleting the stamina gauge (visit the Difficulty page to check the stamina modifiers for each mode). Daphne has a good stamina from the beginning, and she can run faster than the other human enemies in the game only dogs and wolves manage to be close on her tail, and that's when jumping over fences or reaching higher grounds becomes extremely useful.

The ability to run, jump and climb on things is what makes Die Young's gameplay pretty dynamic at its base.
