BRO this game has a PSYCH BURST

why theres NOTHING about depths teleport, i died to a fucking underwater yeti that jumped me together with jelly fucking bitchass fish when tried to get some food.
i had some stuff a random gave me but i couldn't equip it, gave it a chance after 1 year and putting it back on shelf

How do you make other people allies

Ngl i haven't played since 2022 and they added a shit ton of stuff

whats yuor hair code?

how do you make stuff to eat

the mudskipper almost killed me a few minutes ago, because I just started, and now I find out its the easiest mob

got jumped by 20 mudskippers and then finished by 3 bandits fun game huh

I got lone worrior origin and i didn’t even do trial of one?

Tbh i didn't get one thing

I just bought the game, and i died so many times, its really making me lose interest, i don't know where to go what to do, i got some money and I bought a spear a some clothes and i still died and like 4/5 hits, and i don't find any server that is low ping, its always like 700ms, i really liked the ideia of this game but why it need to be so hard to new players?...

Im so confused

I had my first encounter with the deep owl and I stared dead at it, unmoving, refusing to move, until a player walked by and it focused on them, then I bolted

Bashed the game near/on release got to level 48 on two slots, only thing I didn't have was a bell. Now tried to play again, this guide helped me understand, the changes made to the game have been insane

You just talk about advanced stuff and video is called beginner guide

How do you start making a build

Ah deepwoken a wonderful game yet this guide reminded me of the time I would stay at etris killing the guards because I couldnt understand how to get to lower erisia

As someone who is in his 10 character and never passed lvl 1 I may quit if this dont work

LOL he explaining and then the kfc ad comes in I DONT CARE I LOVE IT

Yo! Fellow greek here, how do you handle input lag? Even in German servers its annoying. Got any technique to counteract it?

Thanks for the guide lel. I was wandering around aimlessly (i spawned in Etrea and i fought a brainsucker for like 10 mins before realising it would take much longer to actually kill it lel)

i cant train my stuff anymore how do i level up?

deepwoken really needs a starter guide all it says is "set sail" then do something to get a chest so every newby dies insanely quick

as a beginner who only bought a divpoken, I don't understand at all what he says at the beginning of the video, which cards I didn't understand

I got that blind fold face gear, we beating gojo with this one

back in verse one i used to train all of my stats at the same time 🤑

Nah first mob u should try beating is sharko cus its the easyest of all mobs after sharko comes mudskippers then prob bandits then bandit leader and then rest

how to haluk

Thank you very much! Because I am not a natural English speaker, your subtitles are quite helpful. Big Thank! ❤

Me who just lost my bell slot and then saw this video:

Here’s the number one guid don’t start 😂

Tried the game without any tutorials...after few death i stayed at spawn and level up till 5

Im not new im just here cuz im bored

So your not supposed to farm until power ten in isle of vigils?

;-; huh

you think I can go far in this game with just 20-30 fps?

What should I make my core attributes

PLS SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME WHAT ARE OATH IM SOOOO CONFUSED

Do you know how to reroll race without buying another slot if you already have a character? I cant open the menu somehow

Your guide is so good i love it this deserves more likes and views honestly, underrated af

Great explanation you've gained a new subscriber!!

U guys dont remember when deepwoken had resevoir or when its lvl cap was 60

🤓🤓

I'll be writing this as i watch the video... (NOTE: i'm not a veteran, but i do have some intermediate-level experience and have learned from lifeless i mean, very experienced friends)

That Shrine of Order can work, but yknow, it will only ever remove 25 points from any given attribute, so, for Audacity, you'd have to deal with having 75 charisma (which may or may not be a good thing, depends on your build). Not necessarily a bad thing, just saying.

For the love of GOD, DON'T PICK HAEMOPHILIA! the last time i used it, a single dagger bandit completely drained my blood bar very quickly, it's also a permanent, very impactful flaw. Maverick isn't the best either, it's a +10% exp if you solo an enemy, and if you're skilled enough it helps, but it's 10%, not very significant, and it becomes useless at power 20. Vegetarian is okay, mushroom soup is easy enough to craft, and you can get the Gourmand or Herbivore to compensante for its low hunger and thirst replenishment, just know that it locks you out from Carnivore, which makes hunger and thirst a breeze to deal with.
My advice, for Flaws, there are a few you should consider.

- Simple - slows down progression by a considerable bit, a good flaw for patient players. If you do pick this one, you'll get 2 free boons without the need for a second flaw. It's NOT a permanent flaw, as it can be completely ignored at power 20.

- Obvious - makes you easier to spot when NOT CROUCHED. It can cause problems in very wide open spaces, but in general it wont hurt you too much. It IS a permanent flaw though.

- Manic - increases sanity gain. Does not increase by much and is only affected by a few sources, effectively a free point. It can also be a useful flaw for builds with Lose Your Mind talent, which increases your damage based on your insanity. It IS a permanent flaw.

- Squeamish/Glutton - increases hunger by 2-3% every time you grip/makes you lose hunger and thirst faster. Effectively harmless as long as you don't mind spending more time preparing mushroom soup before expeditions. Carnivore completely negates Squeamish, while the Gourmand talent or Gourmet boon makes Glutton easier to manage. Both ARE permanent flaws.

As for Boons...
- Scrapper - gain an extra Ace (freeze/burn card) every 2nd card roll. Gives you more control over your build, and allows you to burn more unwanted talents. It is NOT a permanent boon though, and becomes useless at power 20.

- Autodidact - gain 3 free investment points every power level. Stacks with Adret's racial buff, totaling +6 points (almost halves work needed to power up). Useful for the impatient, but can also help with restoring your lives if you're 1 investment point away from powering up, and have saved a free point from Autodidact. Just like Scrapper, it becomes useless at power 20.


- Survivalist - grants you immunity to Acid Rain, reduces Fall Damage by an arbitrary amount, and makes Parasites from Layer 2 accumulate 33% slower. An useful Boon which works even after reaching max power. Acid Rain immunity helps you to not fall to your death while using a glider, the Fall Damage reduction is niche but welcome, and the slower parasite growth is handy for when you venture into The Depths - Part 2.


- Gourmet - increases thirst and hunger replenishment from food. An alright, permanent Boon if you dont have anything else to pick. You spend less time cooking and can last a very long time even with a simple mushroom soup, and can stack to (theoretically) absurd levels with Gourmand and Herbivore. Not worth picking if you plan on unlocking Carnivore, though.


As many people have stated, there's no need to buy a Lumber Axe or Flint. You can talk to a man right outside the Antiquarian for a free Axe, and Flint is very easy to craft (1 rock + 1 coal), you can mine it with a Pickaxe (can be found for free in the Bandit Castle/Village)

Don't worry about the "assassins", they're Thieves. They're the ONLY enemies that DONT grip you after a down, they'll just steal your money (not a problem this early on). Effectively the same as regular bandits, but they can't parry. Just be careful about your Blood meter dropping too low, as Daggers are really good at bleeding you out.

An alternative to entering the Depths city and risking being ganked by a Nautilodaunt, is to run along the walls until you find a high spot next to it. I usually find a tall mushroom, climb up the rocks next to it then keep trying to hop onto the wall. It does need some Agility though, i managed it as low as 13 Agil, becomes piss-easy at high Agility/Passive Agility (from talents). If you don't have enough Agility, you can either find a good samaritan/friend to boost you up (risky due to the high number of fatherless deepwoken players), level up your Agility if you have Ankle Weights. If none of those work, you can head inside the city and look for a few barrels to stack.

Other than that, the guide is solid, and i'll probably merge some info here with my current progression strategy, which is slow and boring as fuck. Thanks for making this guide though, i bet it helped quite a few newbies to waste their lives i mean, get into Deepwoken properly.

One extra bit of info, if you want some serious cash and armour right at the start, i recommend you stay on the lookout for Artifacts, some glowing metal balls floating around in the ocean. You can see them from very far away (If you see some purple circles going up, there's an Artifact). Once you reach one, lift your boat's sail and park it right next to the Artifact, jump off, grab it, DONT DROP IT IN THE OCEAN OR YOU'LL LOSE IT, swim closer to your boat's steering wheel and press E *WHEN IT SAYS STEER*, then take it back to Etris/Isle of Vigils to turn it in at the Bank (Can be found near Antiquarians). You'll gain 200 notes and some experience just by delivering it, and if you sell the useless gear you find, you can easily get 500-600+ notes from a single artifact.
You probably wont be able to spend this much early on, so i recommend joining or creating a guild (can be done for 100 notes at level 5) so you can contribute to a Treasury (used to build more rooms in the Guild Base). It's also handy to have access to a Guild Base, as it allows you to safely transport several Artifacts at once, even as a Solo player. (grab the Artifacts and place them on your boat, and once your greed is satisfied, park somewhere and carve the door onto a wall, then carry all the artifacts inside. once back at the Bank, summon the door somewhere close to it and turn the Artifacts in. No, they WONT despawn, trust me)

Alternatively, if you have the robux for it, you can create an Alt account to use as a bank of sorts, to store excess notes and good but not great items, which really helps reduce the overall grind for items, materials and money.

Dont take vegetarian its actually really bad cuz it prevent you from getting carnivore, a talent that basically allows you to not worry about thirst and hunger which can be a real pain
