Outward in a nutshell
The game is set in a typical fantasy world called Aurai — a world full of magic and bloodthirsty monsters.
You aren’t a gods’ chosen, created to slay monsters. You start your adventure by making simple quests. However, over time, you will gain a reputation and become more powerful.
There are four factions in the game. You can join any of them. Depending on your choices, you will have different adventures, a main storyline or unique options to develop your character.
You need to take care of your character. The game has a lot of various survival mechanics making it more challenging.
Traveling in Outward
Aurai is an open world. It consists of 10 regions — Berg, Cierzo, Haboob, Harmattan, Karaburan, Levant, Monsoon, Orochi, Strocco, and Tramontane. The game doesn’t scale levels of the enemies to yours. This means that you can go to any of these regions. However, remember that you won’t be safe everywhere.
Outward features dynamic weather system with different seasons, and NPCs that have their own lives. Some quests can expire — NPCs won’t wait until you collect all requested items.
When does the game end?
The developers want players to experience the entire life of their adventurer — from the beginning to retirement. However, this doesn’t mean that the game will end. Nine Dots studio has prepared an option where all your skills and equipment can be transferred to your descendant. Thanks to that, you will be able to continue your adventure as a new character.
Saving the game
Outward doesn’t have the option to save the game manually. The game saves automatically after important moments or decisions. This means that you will have to live with your decisions — you can’t check what would have happened if you would choose a different option.
Death in Outward
In Outward, you don’t die after losing all health points. Your character gets knocked down and moved to another place. You can end in a camp belonging to a stranger who treats your wounds and takes care of your inventory. You can also find yourself in a dungeon — ill and without any equipment.
Here, the only solution is to find your gear, collect it, and escape from enemies.
Survival in Outward
Survival elements play an important role in the game. Your character must eat, drink, and protect yourself from weather conditions.
In Outward, your character can get ill after eating spoiled food or getting cold. If that happens, you will receive a temporary negative bonus to your stats.
How does the cooperation work?
Outward allows players to cooperate. You can do that over the Internet or on a split screen. The latter gives you the option to know what is happening with your companion at all times.
2. After joining your party, your companion can explore the world with you, collect loot and develop their skills. However, they aren’t able to complete story quests.
3. The game’s difficulty level automatically increases when you are cooperating with another player.
4. You can revive a fallen companion.
5. The person traveling with you can serve as another backpack.
If you trust them, you can ask them to carry some of your equipment. Thanks to that, you will be able to gather more resources.
Starting tips
1. Look for NPCs that can train you in various skills — this will increase your character’s level.
2. In the beginning, you should focus on upgrading your equipment. Making a backpack is the most important thing to do — this piece of equipment will allow you to carry more items.
3. The backpack slows down your movement — remove it every time before you start a fight.
4. Be careful when you are facing enemies. Block a lot and make use of dodges. Enemies can deal massive damage, and healing is very slow.
5. Shooting enemies with a bow is very useful — do that before an enemy gets closer to you.
6. Remember, the game saves automatically.
How long does it take to complete the game?
Game developers ensure that the plot of the game should take about 40/60 hours. However, exploring the world, acquiring raw materials, completing side missions and other activities can take up to hundreds of hours.
Will I get to know the whole game with one approach?
No, to learn the whole story, you need to create several characters. Once you have joined one faction, you cannot join another with the same character.
Does Outward officially support modifications?
No. The creators of Outward do not support fans’ modifications.
Do I have to perform story tasks or objectives?
No. Outward has an open world. So you can freely explore the lands, collect resources, money, exchange weapons and fight monsters..
However, if you do not complete story missions, you will miss out a lot of content.
Can I swim in Outward?
Your character can’t swim. It is impossible to drown either. The game will simply block you from entering the water.
This mechanics means that you often have to look for bridges to get to the other side of the land.
Can my character make acquaintances?
The hero can argue with other characters or make friends with them.
Everything depends on the choices of the player. If, for example, you force someone to give money back to you, it will automatically cool down your relationship.
However, you cannot have any romances in the game.

Outward Gameplay Walkthrough • OneAngryGamer 2023
Nine Dots Studio’s Outward has proven to be wildly popular and very challenging. It’s not an easy game, which means it can’t be played by many game journalists. However, for gamers out there that are trudging through the adventure and need a little help gaining their bearings and ironing out a pathway toward the mountain of success, there are some walkthrough guides available for Outward to at least help you get started in the right way.
YouTuber ESO – Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides put together a rather detailed series of videos to help walk you through the basics of Outward, giving you an idea of how to set up your weapons, your storage, your combat methodology, as well as the best ways to travel around the very large and spacious world that Nine Dots has created. You can check out the walkthrough playlist series below.
At the start of the game, you can choose to play in single-player or co-op mode with two players, either on PC or home consoles.
Once you select single or multiplayer you can then hop into the character creation, which includes being able to choose your gender (there are only two, thank goodness) and your race. You can choose the face style (there are only six options), the hairstyle, and the hair color.
Let’s just get this way out of the way: the character creator sucks and the characters are hideous.
Once you get past the poorly done character creator you’ll be able to hop into the actual game, which gives you a quick prologue before you get into the meat and potatoes.
After the prologue, your character will start with nothing. You’ll have to go acquire some tattered clothes along the beach and make your way up the hill to talk to the NPC. Grab some supplies and the gaberries from the nearby bushes.
Make your way along the rocky hills leading toward the lighthouse and to your left, there’s a dead body with a machete on it. Take the machete and fight the dog.
As the video explains, if you’re playing on PC you can use Tab to lock onto enemies and then block with the mouse. You can also kick. The video notes that you’ll want to dodge and kick enemies when possible because kicking will stun an enemy.
If you take damage then open the inventory, click on the bandages, and use them to heal yourself. You might also want to check your stats to make sure you’re not dehydrating. If you are dehydrating then go to the nearby lake stream and drink the water to replenish your water levels.
Once you get done gaining items from the area and testing out your combat abilities, head back to the NPC by the camp and sleep.
The game will then transport you to the lighthouse.
Take the backpack and head outside. A short sequence will play where a bunch of NPCs, led by Rissa Aberdeen will demand you repay the money you owe them.
The mission will require you to acquire to collect 150 silver coins within five days.
There’s an alternative to completing this mission instead of collecting 150 silver coins. You can exit the town, travel down to the beach east of the town, and there’s a lad on the beach who is injured. If you have a spare bandage and bandage him up, he’ll give you a writ that will satisfy the blood oath and you won’t have to pay the 150 silver. The downside to this quest is that you’ll have to sneak past several crab creatures who are quite strong and they can fire magical projectiles at you, so it’s something to keep in mind as you adventure throughout the game world.
You can explore the town and take a few items from the houses where there’s no one around because if they see you stealing stuff you’ll be in right awful trouble.
However, go down the hill and talk to Helen Turnbull, who has a quest for you nearby that will allow you to earn 70 silver from collecting a rare mushroom from Blister Burrow.
You can also learn about the game’s magic and alchemy system by talking to Helmi the Alchemist.
Talk to the blacksmith to learn about the weapon system and pick up a few quests from some of the NPC shopkeepers.
Feel free to talk to the NPCs at the docks to pick up a few more quests, and you can also head along the beach to talk to Yzan and pick up another quest to retrieve some treasure from a shipwreck to the south. There’s also a water pouch near a fountain you can take and fill it up with some freshwater.
Just down the beach from Yzan’s location, there’s a fishing pier with a fishing rod there. You can take the rod and catch some fish.
If you go under the docks you’ll also be able to enter into the Cierzo storage area. Inside the storage, you’ll find some useful tools such as an axe and a mining pick.
Use a torch and venture into the cave system where you’ll find a few ore deposits that you can use to acquire some goods, as well as fight two troglodytes. You’ll want to fight them one at a time. They aren’t terribly difficult, just remember to dodge their thrust and then kick them to stun them or attack them to whittle down their life.
Also, be sure to grab every recipe you encounter along the way because they’re very useful.
Once you gather the loot from the storage area, head home, go into your kitchen, there’s a recipe for Cierzo Ceviche. If you picked up the quest for Cierzo Ceviche from the cook by the docks, you can easily complete the Cierzo Ceviche quest by right-clicking on the recipe in your inventory to learn it. Go over to the kitchen to craft the Ceviche if you have the necessary ingredients and then take the Ceviche back to the cook to complete the quest and earn some silver.
Once you’re ready to complete some of the other quests outside the village, be sure to store all the unnecessary equipment in your home and only take what you need in your backpack.
When it’s time to exit the village, the guard will teach you a skill you can learn for the weapon you currently have equipped when you talk to him.
The skill he teaches you will need to be equipped by opening up your character skill menu and then equipping it in your hotkey bar.
Once you’re ready to take on the berry quest, you’ll need to head northwest along the edge of the map. The location for that quest is marked on the map below.
Be sure to have several torches in your backpack because you’ll need them to scout through the Blister Burrow cave
There are a handful of troglodytes in the cave; be sure to only fight them one at a time otherwise they will overwhelm you and kill you. Also when you’re fighting be sure to time your attacks so that you block or evade the enemy attack and then strike. When you start off play smart with the way you fight.
If you clear them out and move into the mana room you’ll fight a mana troglodyte.
Also, be sure to bring your pickaxe with you because you’ll be able to mine a mana stone down in the cave.
Once you grab the garnet from the ash giant, grab the mushroom from the center of the cave at the bottom of the cavern. Proceed to collect all the mana items and then you can exit the cave. Head back to Helen Turnbull and give her the garnet you picked up from the ash giant corpse along with the rare mushroom. You’ll earn 100 silver from that quest alone, and then you can sell any of the other items you collected in order to make the extra 50 silver you need to pay off the blood price.
Once you get the 150 silver go talk to Risa Aberdeen inside the town hall.
Once you pay off the debt Rissa Aberdeen will give you an additional mission that involves talking to Yzan before he and Rissa’s daughter leave Ciezro.
You’ll find Yzan down by the beach. You won’t be able to join him until you learn some new skills.
You’ll find Rissa’s daughter, Oliele, by the blacksmith. Talk to her and she’ll tell you to meet her in the Hallowed Marsh.
Once you get done talking to those two go talk to Rissa just outside the town hall.
She will encourage you to join her.
Now before you go venturing outside the city or going on any of the other quests, it’s best you purchase a large backpack as soon as possible. You’ll need the backpack so you can carry more items and all the necessary tools you’ll need to survive on your own in the wilderness.
Also, remember that when you get into a fight, drop your backpack so that you won’t be encumbered when you attempt to roll and dodge out of the way.
Another thing worth keeping in mind is that you don’t need actual recipes to create recipes. For instance, so long as you manually know the ingredients of a recipe, you can create the meal or item from the manual section of the crafting menu.
In the video, ESO also teaches you how to take on ranged projectile enemies by sneaking up behind them, as well as utilizing proper timing to stun the enemies after getting in close and wailing on them until they get stunned and then doing as much damage as possible.
Now if you’re not entirely keen on slowly grinding your way up to fame and fortune, and instead you want to become a powerful mage in the land, there is a guide from ESO that teaches you how to do so.
A lot of gamers definitely want to learn how to make use of the mana abilities within Outward so that they can wield magic. ESO walks you through the lengthy steps on how to unlock those abilities and eventually become a magic wielder.

Scalable Home Backup
One DELTA Max has a capacity of 2kWh. But you can increase these parameters up to 6 kWh by connecting smart external batteries for DELTA Max stations.
