Gameplay Basics Guide, for Beginners WIP (v.6)

Personal Playstyle And Advice

In this section I will cover my personal playstyle and some general tips that I've learned.

You can have up to four (4) tools equipped at any time, but for the fastest and most effiecient dysmantler, you should only equip two (2) at a time. I always equip my best Blunt and Slashing weapons, only equiping a third item when the time permits. Cycling items takes time, and only having the two items you'll always be using equipped makes cycling faster.

When entering Cold or Hot biomes, you should equip the Fur Hat (-10°C) or Cowboy Hat (+5°C) first, followed by the Hot Water Bottle (-5°C) or Ice Brick (+5°C) before choosing the Winter Coat (-15°C) or Safari Outfit (+15°C). If the temperature exceeds your Hat and Trinket, unequip the Trinket and equip the Outfit. The reason for this is that the Lumberjack Outfit is more important mostly for its additional +10% Attack Speed. Will explain more below.

Destroying 'Searchable' objects, harvestable Berry Bushes, and all crop types will still give experience, benefit from passive bonuses/skills, and is faster. 'Searchable' objects will still benefit from 'Search Efficiency' while destroying Berry Bushes will be both faster and benefit from 'Double Gather Chance.' Likewise, simply slashing or clubbing all your freshly grown produce is faster and still yields a full harvest.

The Motorcycle Helmet's +10% Slashing Damage applies to objects, and is very helpful.

If objects are stacked on top of each other, in most cases, destroying the bottom object will cause all objects stacked on top to also be destroyed. This can be used to quickly destroy several objects, objects you cannot damage yet, or save you time switching from one damage type to another. In some cases, mostly with clutter and some wall objects, destroying the main object causes the clutter to float.

When I first played this back near the end of last year/beginning of this year I found that using the Frag Grenade Special Item is one of the most efficient ways of clearing any structure.

Simply hold your assigned key to choose where to throw it; preferably in the centre of a small-medium room with lots of weaker items. Specifically wood, or anything you could destroy with a basic, unlevelled weapon. The shrapnel will damage most objects in a 360° angle making it significantly easier to clean up with your chosen weapon.

It is worth noting that the explosion damages things on its elevation so make sure the grenade is in an open space and on the ground for best results. Also, the grenade only hurts you if you're standing in the red circle. The shrapnel doesn't hurt you.

Personal LoadoutBelow is my preferred loadout and why. As I continue playing and unlock new items I will update the list.

Outfit and Hat

I always prefer to wear the Lumberjack Outfit. The Lumberjack Outfit provides +30% Damage to Trees and an extra +10% Attack Speed. Even if you don't find yourself chopping as many trees as I do (I chop a lot) I recommend it solely for the increased Attack Speed. Accompanying the outfit, I wear the Motorcycle Helmet. It provides 10% Damage Reduction and +10% Slashing Damage, providing more damage to the world.

Tools

I don't equip no more than two tools at a time, unless I need it at that moment. I simply use my best Blute and Slashing weapons. If I find a fishing hole, I equip the Fishing Rod, unequipping it when I'm done. My reasoning for this is that it's faster to cycle between two items than it is three or four.

Special Items

I don't use special items often. Early on I used Throwing Knives to kill fleeing Deer and Caribou but now I can easily kill them with a single hit. I used – and sometimes still do – Frag Grenades to destroy a good amount of furniture in rooms, ultimately saving time. Later on you unlock the Material Transporter which allows you to empty your inventory into Storage from anywhere, up to 4 times. I always use the Material Transporter as it is insanely helpful. The final item I chose to use are the Bandages.

Trinkets

Easily the first Trinket I recommend is the Material Magnet, incrementally increasing the range at which you pick stuff up. Secondly, I recommend the Counterweight, which incrementally increases your Critical Hit Damage. Thirdly, the Berserker Charm, increasing damage while also increasing the damage you take. Finally, the Dice for that boost to Critical Hit Chance, which helps significantly if you spend a lot of time destroying the world. The final Trinket I use are the Laces.

Hunting For Beginners

Hunting Tips/Notes:

Animal Friend is a skill with 3 levels, increasing 'Animal Friendliness' and finally allowing animals that are following you to assist in combat. Animal Friendliness reduces the chance that they will run away.

Animal Friendliness can also be increased with Animal Treats, unlockable by investing into the first level of Animal Friend.

Animal Treats allow animals to start following you.

Animal Friendliness and items that reduce enemy sight range such as the Booney Hat seem to stack.

Baby Deer are slower and weaker than adult Deer.

Petting animals will heal them.

DeerWhen you first escape the starting area and find yourself in the vast wilderness, you may encounter Deer. They're more alert than enemies, having a seemingly wider sight cone. Hunting Deer is essential to early progression due to your Backpack requiring Hide, one of three resources a Deer drops.

To successfully – and efficiently – hunt a Deer, don't sprint and most certainly don't approach from the front or sides. Approach from the rear at normal walking speed and use a Power Attack, which should immediately kill it with one hit from your Crowbar.

Possible Drops (x2): Meat, Hide, Bones

CaribouTravelling north you'll discover Caribou. They're essentially Deer but with more health and drop an additional resource.

Depending on your progress, a well-placed Power Attack from behind and a single well-thrown Throwing Knife immediately afterwards should kill Caribou.

Possible Drops (x3): Meat, Hide, Bones

First Encounters

This section is specifically for encountering the enemies for the first time. Once you progress and develop your character and invent new tools you'll easily dispatch of your foes.

Some basic notes for early combat:

Attacking from behind always causes extra damage to enemies. Combine this with a Power Attack for insane damage!

Power Attacks have farther reach than standard attacks.

Throwing Knives can cause bonus damage if they are thrown at an enemy from behind. I am uncertain if Shiv Trio benefits from this as well.

Most enemies need to be stationary to attack. You can easily exploit this by moving out of the way at the last second (or dodging) and performing a quick counterattack.

On the flip side, some enemies can attack while moving. They only do this, however, if you're moving. To counter enemies that can move and attack simultaneously, stop moving when they get near and move/dodge out of the way just as they perform a standard attack, countering immediately after.

ScrapperThe most basic enemy you will encounter, found everywhere. While easy to kill they still do a decent amount of damage if they hit you. A simple Power Attack from behind should kill one in any circumstance.

Possible Drops (x1): Scrap Metal, Scrap Fabric

HurlerIf the Hurler is alerted to your presence he will hurl toxic goo at you from afar. It does a fair amount of damage and leaves a puddle that deals damage while standing in it.

Tackling these foes is tough in the early game. If you manage to close the distance, the Hurler will continuously move away from or attack you with a more powerful melee attack. I suggest sneaking up behind and charging a Power Attack. Throwing Knives could help you kill Hurlers easily.

Observation: The damage dealt by the toxic puddles seems to be determined both by where you run through it and how long. For example, just tagging the edge of a puddle seems to always do 1 Damage. However, running through seems to cause anywhere between 6-17 (observed numbers) Damage.

Possible Drops (x1): Scrap Metal, Plastic

Mutated HurlerEncountered much later in the game, Mutated Hurlers lob three explosive globs per attack at you. Rather than leaving a puddle of goo behind, they explode after a couple second delay or immediately if they hit you. One must be careful when performing melee attacks against a Mutated Hurler as getting hit by all three projectiles while in close range could kill you even with high maximum health.

Possible Drops (x1): Scrap Electronics, Rubber

ChaserMuch faster and deadlier than Scrappers and Hurlers, Chasers are able to make sure you are unable to escape them. They are able to attack while running, so your best bet at defeating one is by remaining still until they perform a basic attack and move/dodging then counterattacking.

Possible Drops (x1): Ceramic, Scrap Fabric

PukerPukers are the same as The False Gatekeeper, the first boss you fight. The only exception is that they do not have the mortar attack.

Only puking in an arc in front of him, attacking from behind with Power Attacks is the easiest way to down one. Attacking will interrupt his current attack so be ready to move again.

Possible Drops (x1): Iron, Rubber

WolfFast, deadly, and can attack while moving. A Throwing Knife in the back followed by immediately charging a Power Attack should easily down a Wolf early on.

Early Spawn Warnings:

There are only four Wolf spawns between the beginning of the game and the Evacuation Site. You'll find one locked up nice and safe not too far to the northwest of the Evac Site at the Maximum Gas Station and another three slightly southwest of the Evac Site, off the road guarding buried treasure.

Possible Drops (x1): Hide, Bones

StalkerStalkers are extremely dangerous early on. They're fast, durable, and deadly. Able to attack while moving you shouldn't let them get near you or you'll probably be dead. Performing a Power Attack from behind should deal at least a quarter to half of its health in damage during the early game. You should then be careful as, like Chasers, they run faster than you. When facing a Stalker head-on, remain stationary and move out of the way at the last second to avoid a running attack against you, then counter.

Possible Drops (x1): Scrap Electronics, Iron

DwellerOnly encountered during Shelter Defenses. If you don't get too close while attacking they will ignore you entirely. Power Attacks to their backs are the best way to kill them.

Possible Drops (x0): None

SpikeballNot really a threat, as long as you don't try to hug it. You should be able to destroy it with a Power Attack without getting close enough for it to attack you.

Guaranteed Drops: Plant Matter (x2), Bones (x1)

Mortar PodA stationary Hurler. Shoots globs of toxic goo upwards at you, leaving a puddle causing damage over time while standing in it. The pod tracks your movement and tries to hit you while moving, so dodge. Has a barrage attack, quickly firing five globs.

Observation: The damage dealt by the toxic puddles seems to be determined both by where you run through it and how long. For example, just tagging the edge of a puddle seems to always do 1 Damage. However, running through seems to cause anywhere between 6-17 (observed numbers) Damage.

Guaranteed Drops: Plant Matter (x3)

Machine Gun and Rocket TurretsThe enemy Turrets are extremely deadly to the survivor, instantly killing them regardless of health. When approaching a turret, a red laser will follow you but will not fire at you unless you get too close.

Destroying a turret is easy. Just get close enough where you can manually lob a Frag Grenade and one should be enough if it directly impacts the turret. If not, a second will finish it off.

Tomb GuardThe Tomb Guard is an undead enemy with a melee weapon. They can both attack while moving and dodge your attacks. They're fairly easy to kill.

Possible Drops (x1): Iron, Steel

Bosses

While exploring or attempting quests you will encounter bosses, which can be very tough opponents. Everything has a weakness though, so let's get to it. Additional information on existing entries is requested and welcome.

The False Gatekeeper: The first boss you'll encounter. Vomiting toxic puddles in front of itself which damage over time, the best way to defeat this boss is to keep attacking from behind. The False Gatekeeper has a sort of mortar attack if I remember correctly, spewing toxic projectiles upwards all around it.

The Vicious Twins: If you struggle with Chasers then you may have trouble with the Twins. That's all they are; Chasers. You'll just be facing two at once.

The Alpha Wolf: A really dangerous Wolf found in the north. Its attacks are very quick and deadly. I ended up killing it too quickly so I wasn't able to observe anything about this boss. Additional information is welcome!

The Law: Most likely the first Fuel Cell you'll come across, The Law is a large battle mech with bullet hell projectiles and mortars. Just dodge the bullets and avoid the red circles when it fires mortars. If you have Frag Grenades, keep throwing them at The Law. During the boss fight you'll be able to replenish your consumables.

The Ruthless Pitcher: A more dangerous Hurler, accompanied by 3 Scrappers.

The Reaper: Another mech, similar to The Law. Has two health thresholds, becoming more dangerous at each one.

Full Health: Chases after you while shooting a stream of bullets. Slams into the ground when you're within melee range.

75% Health: Fires slow homing rockets in between the stream of bullets.

50% Health: Fires impact rockets while shooting and will crouch down, shooting a stream of bullets in a 360° angle.

N/A: !!Found at O-25, 996° 592°, Sanctuary Farm!! I was not paying attention when I encountered this boss, instead thinking it was a mutated varient of an enemy, like the Mutated Hurler. I only realized it was a boss when it dropped one of those orbs. Please provide info!

The Old Loyal Champion: A larger Tomb Guard but with a shield. Can dodge and attack while running.

The Skinless Skulkers: Two Stalker bosses, one small and one large. It would appear that the small Skulker is quicker but deals less damage, while the large Skulker is slower but deals more damage. Both Skulkers can attack while moving. The best strategy is to isolate and kill one at time. I recommend a ranged attack from afar against the Small Skulker, running away a bit, then killing it. Then sneak behind the Large Skulker and perform a Power Attack and try not to get hit.

Dietary Information

Back when I first played Dysmantle nearly a year ago and was being tutored on creating meals to permanently increase my stats I was unsure whether or not they stacked if you repeatedly made the same meal. They do not.

I don't believe the game clearly tells you that the permanent boosts food gives you only applies to the first time you create the meal. Afterwards it becomes a standard healing item. I focused naught on food and creating meals at the time. This time I am making every recipe I find and consuming it once.

Speaking of healing, picking up the first level of the Culinary skill allows you to consume food in your inventory to give you some health back. While I haven't used it yet I assume this includes all veggies, berries, eggs, and mushrooms.

Berries, eggs, and mushrooms do not seem to respawn. As per the previous update(s), I mentioned them possibly respawning. I think this to be false.

Equipment Introduction

Dysmantle features a wide array of different tools and trinkets to help you survive. You unlock the ability to invent new equipment as you level up. These unlocks can range from weapons and tools to clothing and trinkets. You can also unlock additional features to invent.

Melee weapons have two types of damage; Blunt and Slashing. Each effective against different objects. Tires for Rubber and trees for Wood require Slashing, while chainlink fences for Scrap Metal and Iron require a Blunt tool.

Below I will list all equipment by category (weapons, tools, special items, etc.) and explain what they do. Please be aware that I am updating this guide based on self-discovery/progress. If an item is missing it's likely because I haven't discovered or unlocked it yet.

Weapons

The most important among the equipment categories are weapons, whose primary focuses are to destroy the world around you and kill anything that gets in your way. As you level up and collect resources, you will be able to improve your weapons to increase their destructive power allowing you to gather more advanced materials and clear obstacles, or simply kill enemies faster.

Note: All Damage and Bonus values are when the item in question is fully levelled, and before modifiers.

The Crowbar is your starting weapon. A decent weapon capable of Blunt damage and able to destroy most everything you encounter, including enemy skulls.

Tools

Searching for buried treasure, fishing, and farming are some of the features you gain access to by inventing Tools.

The Shovel is used to dig up the ground almost anywhere. Its primary focus is dig up treasure but can sometimes unearth some basic, buried resource. Treasure seems to be cleverly indicated by environmental hints. The quality and quantity of resources found when unearthing treasure appears to depend on your progress from the starting zone.

The Seed Bag is used to plant seeds into tilled soil. Farming is essential to multiply your veggies and ultimately craft delicious food recipes. Required to unlock the Hoe.

The Hoe is used to till soil in farms, allowing you to plant more seeds.

The Fishing Rod is used to fish in indicated spots found all around the island. There's a whole guide about fishing found here.

Animal Treats allow you to tame animals, making them follow and even fight for you with the 3rd level of Animal Friend.

The Builder's Kit allows you to construct various contraptions which I will cover in a later section. It also increases your Build Limit by 5.

End Note:

I compiled all of the previous update's changes and began putting together the update on November 4th. Then I became indisposed from November 5th until November 8th. I finished the update today when I was again available only noticing afterwards that Dysmantle was updated. So I ended up updating the guide twice today.

I went on and immediately spent hours combing through the new information and making a new update for everyone, as I had promised to keep the guide updated. I spent the past 7 hours straight preparing this update, though I haven't played the game at all. Just spent it all at the Campfire.

Update 7 will include finalized entries and updated gameplay information, hopefully making the entire guide compatible with v0.9.0 and removing as much v0.8.1 content as possible.
