Growing up is a tough time, especially when it’s eat or be eaten for our dino friends. It may be quite a daunting thought to venture out into the vast land of Panjura for the first time, however, there are a few things to keep in mind that may make those initial steps a little easier.
10 Run Dino Run
Picking that first dinosaur can be tough, should players pick their favorite from Jurassic World or maybe the one that looks the meanest?
Well, one thing to keep in mind is that in Path of Titans there is no fast travel. That’s right, dinosaurs needed to walk everywhere, and on a 8km by 8km map, there is plenty of walking to be done. When picking the first dinosaur make sure that the stamina stat is high, energy runs out fast, and dinosaurs don’t want to be out of breath while being chased down by a ravenous Tyrannosaurus Rex.
9 Tread careful!
Many things can damage players on the prehistoric path to adulthood, other dinosaurs, forgetting to come up for air underwater and yes, falling.
It is quite easy to be wandering along a path when suddenly a huge drop appears from nowhere. It would be ideal not to test the evolution of dinosaurs quite yet. Falling from most heights above the height of the player will result in damage or the worst case - death. Be careful of each step, as losing marks and growth progress can hinder progress and falling is very easy to do.
8 Eat In Moderation
Good health tips say to eat in moderation, this is also true here. Unlike other survival games like Dread Hunger, there are no weather elements to battle against, only food, water and other dinosaurs. Eating and drinking are truly essential to survive in Path of Titans but wait to be told to do so.
Yes, players can chow down any time they feel the need for a top-up, and can drink whenever the water meter dips. The trick to making the meters advantageous is waiting for the on-screen prompt to either eat or drink. Hold out for this to happen and then satisfy the dinosaurs needs to be rewarded with 60 marks and some growth progress. Essential in reaching adulthood quickly, eating or drinking before the prompt will lead to missing these rewards each time.
7 Don’t Follow
Quests in the game are vital to successfully raising dinosaurs successfully. Finishing these will earn some marks and growth progress. Like any open-world game, taking on lots of quests is often the best way to level up quickly.
This is true in Path of Titans also, and handily quests are trackable simultaneously. Having lots of quests, however, can be confusing as to which one the player is heading towards. So the best advice is to unfollow them, yep, not following those further away quests will allow clearer focu on the task at hand making things much more manageable.
6 Solo Play
Path of Titans is first and foremost a game to be enjoyed with others. Nothing else comes close to experiencing life in prehistoric times than roaming Panjura with up to 200 other players.
Finding the right way in the huge plains and mountain regions of the map can be difficult. Luckily Path of Titans has a single-player option. This may not seem like the best choice in an MMORPG, but give it a try first, this allows better scope of the land, learn the terrain and get comfortable with the movement and actions available.
5 Do Stuff
The main objective for players in Path of Titans is to grow chosen dinos from hatchling to adult. To get to a fully grown terrible lizard it is necessary to fill the growth meter and progress through each stage.
The best way to achieve a giant dino is by doing quests and exploring the map. Quests will reward players with growth and marks, each essential in surviving the wilds of Panjura. Exploring the map, quite often tied to a timed quest, is another great option, as this allows discovery of new places, as well as gains in growth bar progress.
4 Automatic Dino-Mode
So players may have gathered that getting places across Panjura takes time. Dinosaurs will have a stamina meter that drains as they run, some will drain quicker than others and should be monitored carefully.
That said, running gets to the quest or goal quicker, and this can be made even easier. Autorun is a feature that enables the player to control turning movements of the dino, the game takes care of the rest. Players will travel a lot in Path of Titans and having autorun on makes things a lot easier.
3 Spend Wisely
Marks are the in-game currency in Path of Titans, they can be used to purchase a variety of things. Skins, abilities and even cave decorations can be purchased with marks.
It is very tempting to make those dinosaur look like the flashiest creature in the realm. Decorating the home cave to taste is another money sink, which for beginners is a waste. Instead, use marks to upgrade abilities, being able to defend and attack in a fight is essential to growing through to the adult stages and having a pretty cave won’t keep that Spinosaurus or other enemies at bay.
2 Quiet, Please
One of the fun features of the game is the ability to use vocal cues to communicate like a real dinosaur. From a threatening roar to a loving hiss, these options give a great sense of realism to Path of Titans dino fun.
Before going round the woods blasting roars like an 18-wheeler on the highway, a word of caution. Other players will actively hunt, for fun. The easiest way to locate new prey is when they run about stretching those vocal cords. So remember in the early stages to be mindful of using the vocal abilities and avoid being chomped.
1 Better Together
Now, an earlier tip says to try out single player to learn the lay of the land. This is the opposite, bring a friend.
Panjura can be a calm and serene place for like-minded dinosaur enthusiasts, but it can also be filled with angry dinos looking for a scrap.
Teaming with a friend is a great way to dissuade Mr T-Rex from making a solo wanderer their next meal. If players haven’t got anyone they know to play with, try the chat feature and see if anyone is looking to group. Safety in numbers dino pals.
Path of Titans is available now on PC, Android, and iOS and releases on July 27 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
