Tips from survival guide:

Tam sells ammunition at the southeast corner of the village

Elder Irudad sells bandages and witchwood bark, but you may run out of witchwood bark before he
restocks. In that case, you'll need to stock up on bark yourself by harvesting it in the outskirts of Red
Rock. Witchwood trees have yellow leaves, but their trunks turn red when they're harvestable.

Choosing combat skills optimally:

Especially in the early game, try to specialize in a certain weapon. (There are many benefits to mastering
a single weapon tree, whereas there are very few to none to mastering multiple ones)

Choosing survival skills optimally:

Choose something that will "make the next part easier", even if it is tempting to get the next big attack in
any given combat tree.

Essentially, think of what your current circumstance calls for, and invest in whatever is going to help you
progress more smoothly in the near future.

EPISODE 5:
Shift+F for Factions Menu

Combat tactics and strategies:

1. Hiding behind trees and other types of objects in order to break line of sight, especially against a
ranged attacker, will cause them to make attempts to chase you down. If you use the wait actions long
enough while in hiding, they will come right up to you, where they'll commit to using their melee
weapon.

2. Play around your active cooldowns by disengaging and re-engaging accordingly.

Shift+W to Wait for a specified amount of time
