So ... before I started to watch this.. I actually found the Stinger Lance at a very different location and way less dangerous.. I also would recommend to get the padded armor.. my chick was freezing her elven toots off with the light armor. So when you look at the map there is this small little appendage/island with the water making it look like a speartip and is south of the Elder Marker.. on that little island is a structure.. a sort of totem built with leave/twigs cubes and next to it is the spear..
Not to downplay the benefits of rushing the lance but I think this deserves some clarification. This does not skip progression. Even if you grab flint in the Greylands and make your tools/weapons you will still be wearing starter armor, and before you can access Mirmek or Nok armor you need to grind silk in the Swamp and iron in the Greylands, so you'd probably walk back to Kalev and make your stone armor anyway. Not to mention the stinger lance will not help you rush bosses as the majority of them are resistant to pierce. I realize I'm being nitpicky but your thumbnail prominently features the Formic gear which you will absolutely not access until after you grind silk in the swamp. I think viewers deserve to know this.
Thanks Fire! I bought it but haven't dove into the game just yet. Been waiting for a day off to really really sink my teeth into it. I don't think your harming the game or anything via this video, it's just a "hey, you can do this if you want to" kinda thing. Kinda like finding some of the stuff in Grounded early, helps you really get a nice foothold in the world early.
When it comes to most of the bugs that fly all you have to do is sneak and roll and you will stop agroing it. It's also a good way to kill hornets, bees, and wasps with a bow early game. Simply sneak and start shooting it. When the bug gets too far to shoot simply stand up and the bug will come back. Then just go back into sneak and roll a couple of times to stop the agro and start shooting it again. Repeat until it's dead.
@YourSenpai-oo ty. I tried to do that and eventually I got to the guy that wants to sell me clothing..... I guess I could pick up from there it just feels like I am missing a huge part. Also would you know if I need to be online or offline? I thought I could play solo then jump in with mu friends later just wondering
this video is from an older version, there have been story and game developments since this was made. like being able to have 50 tames instead of one. now its only one in your party you can ride, but 50 you can have waiting in your base/tree.
Claim a tree on the way. Remove the bed and then just restart the game. Voila you are in base with the weapon. But honestly if you are new, you are better of just enjoying the game from the beginning and experiencing everything on your own. For the last part of the video, just make the cockroach and the hornet fight and you kill both easily without taking dmg.
I can confirm this still works and is worth it after 1.0 release and I play on Xbox. That's said, few pro tips becuase Fire made this look SO easy in the video (which, props my dude haha), but this took me longer than I want to admit lol. Before you start heading to this, claim a tree. Make a bed and shelter, set it your spawn. Then head out. More on why later. First and foremost: TURN OFF the world setting for items dropping on death. You can toggle this in the world settings you have to pass to log into your world. If you're in game, go to main menu, start entering your world again, but before you enter world, toggle the setting in the left window first, then enter. These bugs hit like a truck. If you go down the wrong way or get off path from video and are low level, be prepared to get wrecked, or be hella crafty. I cannot tell you how crappy it is to die on your way before you get to a spot you can set bed and have to run all the way back and either waste time getting enough food to get to your items or risk running back with nothing. You can always toggle items drop on death back on after you get spear, if you'd like, but learn from my mistake and save yourself the trouble haha. Once you've done this, you don't have to equip the item to keep it upon dying, or leave all inventory in a chest before dropping into tunnel. You just have to grab it, and since you keep items on death, you spawn back in the bed at the top of the tunnel with everything! Second, when I got to the concrete stairs where the water bug is on my way to tunnel, both times, a storm (stairs seen at 3:32). This storm wrecked me both times and it took me coming back a third time ready to camp to make it past. You can be prepared for this and know when you get to the stairs and the storm is on, you're going to need enough mats for 4 walls, roof and a bed at least for shelter to avoid freezing to death. The reason I suggested claiming a tree at the beginning and making a bed there BEFORE you start heading to spear is becuase once you're all done, you've got the spear and/or your fill of Flint and scary bugs, you can save yourself the trouble of having to run back by dismantling the foundation/bed you made in the tunnel, and just returning to main menu, IE logging out. When you have no bed left and log back in, volia! It spawns you at the tree you clamied by default and you're all done, safe and sound! I started running to get the spear at 5:30 am, thinking it'd be super quick, didn't get done until 8:30 am. I HATE admitting how much this was a pain for me, but I hope something in this comment helps someone else have an easier time! Best of luck, guys!! Be kind to everyone, every time, every day, unconditionally, people! ✌🏼☮️
FYI holding a direction while in air even on non flying mount has ABSOLUTELY no effect on direction. I hate it an i wish they would fix that. But realistically you can't do it so i guess i understand why you can't move mid air
Only problem I have with ut is the height and hang time of your jumps. If you jumped more "realistically" not being able to turn or adjust even slightly mid-air wouldn't be an issue. Instead you go a lot higher and further than you expect from the start and it does feel like you SHOULD be able to adjust yourself mid-air
When did they nerf it because I just got this on the Xbox version it's pierce damage is 10-13 and posion damage is 6-7 blocking is 18 and 800 durability so those 2 got better so I guess it's sorta better with more triple durability
@@Vohasiiv nah he did move a bit. i found what he did. he was on top of a hill and then he was pass the first bridge near the tree with the giant owl on it.
Thankfully the game has a lot in it, so this doesn't rush to the end really. There's whole heaps of places to explore, and as good as the lance is, bosses don't take poison damage, so there's still better weapons (this comment was posted 8 months ago, so I know this is old news for you. This is more for people who read your comment later)
This is definitely patched on game pass for Xbox gene not even in the same spot nor are there owls it looks totally different from my version Ps.. it still worked as of 2-26-24 things look definitely but it’s definitely the same method
@@magentakitty3483 More content, sure. It’s much older… so, that’s expected. But, no multiplayer? Tf are you talking? 🤣 The entire game can be ran with 10 people together. Sounds like you haven’t played it and are just being a hater. lmao. And it has the same amount of replayability… grinding, building and expanding.
Why are people mad? Lol you can still get folded by tough bugs even with a good weapon. Does it help make things easier? Yes. Does it break the game? Not at all
@@Firespark81 yes... darn flies... its a cycle that gets worse if you just keep rolling straight in... gotta wait for health bar etc... i left armor on too. that helped. Worse was it left the spear in a grave marker next to the drop... so i had one more button to push. Thanks! Love your channel.
Well.. Firespark is just following the modern trend on youtube, where the youth wants to cheat/win as fast as possible... but I get you Andrew.. games were better back when you just enjoyed them in no special pace and without that must-do-things-asap attitude
If you thought about it since it's early access him revealing it will make them change it or make harder... Also he's not forcing you to go get .. go back to you cave ferngully
Guide should be called, let's bypass all the stuff that might take you some time, so you can beat the entire game in an hour with a super spear. Sorry for the negativity but guides like these, become op within minutes of your first load in, help kill games.
Well considering that the games not nearly finished yet and if you grind you can get throughout the game quite quickly anyway I don't think it really matters.
@FireSpark81 exactly my point. Hey you make your content. But an already light on content early access game, I just see this guide hurting more then helping. But hey, too each their own.
@RaptorsTroll2 The Evil One will only deceive you and separate you further from God. He is bound for destruction. Only Jesus, who is the Son of God and God, died for the forgiveness of sins. Follow Him, repent, and live forever with Him in Heaven!
Why its actually a really good game. Even if you are not ok with early access games you should still keep it on your radar. I think its gonna be a real winner once its done.

Interesting
It Also Gives you a Backstab Bonus, Greatly Increasing the Attack HP, and Critical Hit Percentage.. Works with All Weapons..
Just went today and found the body no problem but there is no spear there, killed the bugs but nothing there.
Hello! Same here.. did they remove this weapon or is it bugged?
Thank You, Your videos are both entertaining and informative.
For some reason when I start I am with a guy that just got bodied by a bee.... how do I start where this video Starts?
Follow the path (road) with owls

Where did you get this armor?
I mean, the armor cover on your vids is that a black ant?
Yeah that isn’t where it started me out at all. I started somewhere else and then it told me to make my way to where it started you at.
this video is from an older version, there have been story and game developments since this was made. like being able to have 50 tames instead of one. now its only one in your party you can ride, but 50 you can have waiting in your base/tree.
Awesome Mini guide FS! Can't wait for some build guides!!!
i like how rustic etc the starting area is, very warm and at home feel. im probably build a base like that
I did this and it worked well for me. Just don't build too close to any ant spawns because they'll respawn every morning and it gets annoying.

If you're playing with a second person on your world, would it be possible for both people to obtain the spear? Or just 1 person per world?

You just need a foundation, one wall, and a roof, and it'll keep you from taking environmental damage from the storm

Can confirm it doesn't. No spear there

There's another one on a tiny island, kinda near the starting area, if that one isn't spawning for you.

2nd day of game being out I found a duplication item bug and i don't see any videos on it or anyone talking about it.
Go on then
Duping is very easy. You don't even have to do anything crazy because your world and player file are separate.
ah that spear, i beat the game i was just curious of your tactic lol

@@Vohasiiv nah he did move a bit. i found what he did. he was on top of a hill and then he was pass the first bridge near the tree with the giant owl on it.

For real. It drives me crazy.
Does it respawn?
Patche i play playstation and nothing on body
I play playstation and i go curse and no body and no lance its patche?
i just did it today
it responds as well
Bs. It's patched
Its not there on ps5
Imaginary suit of armor for clickbait. Nice
It's not imaginary. It's in the game now.
Well, I'm rushing, miss out on all the fun aaaaand.... Done. No, seriously, made this mistake far too often.

there is a way out and another entrance
Not easily. Easiest thing to do is just let the bugs have at you.
All well and good but at the beginning you don't have the mats to repair this item, so be careful with your usage
just carry the mats for the workbench on you and repair it after every other fight. Easy
