The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands – Walkthrough Guide, Tips and Tricks

User Interface:

Actions: These are your main characters’ actions. In the beginning, you’ll need to have him GATHER WOOD or even WORK IN THE FARM, but once your workers have carts that can carry five of a resource at a time, you can just let him hang out and watch. During monster attacks, you’ll be able to find the FIGHT button here. You can’t do anything else in a battle. Just press that button when it turns red.

Build: This allows you to construct new buildings, such as huts to house more workers; a farm so you can provide food for your workers; mines to well, mine for coal or iron; a tannery to make leather from skins, and so on. Once a building is ready, make sure to check for new craft-able items or jobs that become available as a result.

Craft: This is where you can make torches, weapons, carts, armor, tools for mining, and even a ship to go exploring! Make sure to check back here every time you build a new structure, as you’ll likely have more items available to craft. I recommend having a few of each item crafted at all times so you don’t have to scramble to make them when you need them. Also, that’s the only way to see if a worker can carry a specific item.

Workers: This is where you can see that status of all your workers, equip them with items, or change their jobs. You’ll be spending a lot of time here and it can be a bit cumbersome to scroll through, so try to set things up so you don’t have to switch jobs around too often.

Trade: This becomes available later in the game when you send out explorers to discover new lands. You’ll be able to trade certain resources for other items. You’ll mostly be using this to acquire Ancient Texts.

Workers and Attributes:

Pay attention to the abilities of each wanderer when they arrive so you can give them a job that best fits them. You won’t be able to see hard numbers or stats, but from what I gather, these are the best roles for each personality type:

Brave/Strong: Guard, Warrior. Maybe Scout?

Hardworking: Pretty much any physical labor like mining, wood cutting, steel work.

Wise: Study texts so they can become alchemists!

Honest: Err honestly, I’m not really sure. I’ve always assigned them to any job that isn’t a Warrior or Guard.

Late-Game Tips:

– Dungeon: Once you’re able to send out scouts, do so until one comes back with news of a dungeon. This only happens at dusk. Wait until you’ve got at least one alchemist and a few warriors and then enter the dungeon. I think 4-5 warriors should be enough to get through without too much trouble. At the end of the dungeon, there will be some ancient text. That’s what the Alchemist is for. If you go in without an Alchemist, it’s a bit of a waste of time.

– Warriors: For some reason, the warriors stay awake all day even though they don’t do anything unless you enter the dungeon at night. So to keep them from getting tired, what I do is keep 4-6 strong and brave men as Guards until right before night falls. Then I switch them to Guards in time to enter the dungeon.

– Alchemist: Once you have the ability to trade, get yourself some Ancient Texts. Choose a Wise villager to study the Texts. The game doesn’t give good feedback for this, as the item just disappears without any explanation. But if it’s successful, after a while you’ll get a message that a villager learned how to the read the Ancient Text and became an Alchemist. Alchemists also stay awake during the day, but I don’t think you can switch them to other jobs without losing them permanently. So I suggest just leaving them as is. Once you use them to read the Ancient Text in the dungeon, you’ll be able to open the gate and give them more work. Give them a Leather Bag so they can hold more Sun Stones.
