Walkthrough and Progression Guide

List of All Main Objectives

Part Main Objective
1 Unlock Memories
2 Build Your Base

Hytale’s Echo of Orbis is the survival adventure mode featured during Early Access. This world focuses on building, crafting, and locating interactable artifacts that lead to further discovery.

This guide is divided into parts, each with a set of objectives designed to help you familiarize yourself with the mechanics, explore the landscape, and progress through the game.

Part 1: Unlock Memories

Step Key Objectives
1 Head to the Forgotten Temple Gateway
2 Enter the Gateway to Reach the Forgotten Temple
3 Activate the Heart of Orbis

Head to the Forgotten Temple Gateway

Forgotten Temple Gateway Map Location

The location of the Forgotten Temple Gateway varies by world seed.

As soon as you exit the spawn room, open your map and locate the Forgotten Temple Gateway, marked by a pinwheel icon. We highly recommend doing this first to unlock the Memories feature early, which logs every creature you discover and unlocks upgrades for every completed category.

Be sure to craft tools for gathering resources and a sword to defend yourself along the way.

List of All Controls

Enter the Gateway to Reach the Forgotten Temple

1 Go Through the Forgotten Temple Gateway
Temple in World
You will know you have found the temple entrance when you see a statue with a brazier lit with blue fire.
2
Left Stairs Inside Temple
Proceed through the entrance behind the statue and head down the stairs to the left.
3
First Chest
The area below is guarded by a golem. You do not need to fight it; simply avoid it and slip past.

Make sure to grab the loot from the chest at the northwestern corner of the room.
4
Second Chest
Next, loot the second chest hidden in the southeastern corner.
5
Forgotten Temple Gateway
Once you have collected the items from both chests, quickly enter the portal along the northern wall.

Activate the Heart of Orbis

Heart of Orbis

After you cross the gateway, you'll be immediately transported to the Forgotten Temple. Head north and interact with the stele in the shrine at the center to unlock Memories.

Once it's unlocked, you now have access to the Memories button in your Inventory Tab to view a copy of the creatures you've recorded in the Heart of Orbis. Before leaving, don't forget to look around the Forgotten Temple to scan the creatures there.

Note: Resources at the Forgotten Temple cannot be gathered.

Side Objectives

Priority Side Objectives
★★ Gather Rubble, Plant Fibers, and Sticks.
★★ Craft a Crude Hatchet, Crude Pickaxe, and Crude Sword.
★ Craft Crude Torches.

While at the spawn area, consider gathering enough resources to craft basic tools for more efficient gathering. In addition to your standard equipment, craft a Torch to ensure you are prepared in case your travels extend into the night.

Part 2: Build Your Base

Step Key Objectives
1 Collect Materials and Supplies
2 Craft Survival Essentials
3 Build a Base Near the Temple

Collect Materials and Supplies

Collect Resources

After exiting the temple and returning to your world, proceed to pick up all the resources you can find nearby on the ground like berries. Collect materials for crafting and food such as stones, wood, meat, and hide by breaking up stone blocks, cutting up trees, and hunting wild animals. Your primary tools are sufficient enough for this.

Craft Survival Essentials

Survival Essentials

Once you have plenty of materials, craft a Campfire, Crude Bedroll, Wooden Chest, and a Workbench. These will be the first structures you need to establish your base.

The Wooden Chest is for storing your materials, while the Workbench will enable you to craft upgraded tools and unlock more advanced crafting structures.

Build Your Base Near the Temple

Build Your Base

Set up your base in a safe area near the temple, ensuring quick access whenever you need to record Memories. Make sure to position the campfire in the center; it will serve as a dual-purpose station for cooking food and providing light during the night.

Next, designate an adequate space for your Workbench and Wooden Chest. It is best to leave extra room for adding the advanced crafting structures beside them as you progress.

Finally, place your Crude Bedroll in a preferred spot and interact with it to set your respawn point.

Side Objectives

Priority Side Objectives
★★★★ Gather Tree Trunks, Stones, and Hides.
★★★★ Gather Raw Meat and Berries.
★★★ Gather ample wood such as Logs, Trunks, and Sticks for the Campfire.
★★ Stash your supplies in the Wooden Chest to prevent losing them if you die.

Make sure you have enough food as eating is the primary form of healing in Hytale. Keeping your important supplies in a Wooden Chest ensures you don't drop them upon death, which is especially useful when traveling long distances from your respawn point.
