Tail of the Sun（PlayStation）
🍖 Securing food and the basics of hunting
How to gather food that supports the tribe, and the approach to keep in mind when hunting.
Tail of the Sun — what should I check first in Food and hunting?
Edible things are scattered around the world, and gathering them provides the basis of daily life. Regularly securing nearby food makes it easier to respond before your prehistoric person weakens. Begin by developing a habit of gathering what is close at hand.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game: get used to the world | Learn the controls and movement and understand how prehistoric people live |
|
| Midgame: establish a way of life | Make hunting and gathering consistent and establish a cycle that sustains the tribe |
|
| Late game: work toward larger goals | Pursue your own long-term goals, such as collecting mammoth tusks |

1. Unsure what to do and unable to get started
Cause: The open design does not display clear quests or goals, making it hard to progress if you wait for instructions
Solution: Begin by moving and hunting repeatedly, with keeping the tribe alive as your immediate goal
2. Your prehistoric person weakens and cannot keep going
Cause: You are not keeping up with hunger or survival requirements
Solution: Prioritize food, establish a reliable gathering and hunting cycle, then expand your exploration range
3. Unable to see how to approach the larger objective
Cause: The final goal, such as building a tower, is vague and the process is not explicitly laid out
Solution: Treat daily hunting and gathering as contributions to the result, and work toward it gradually over a long period

- ▸ Prioritize gathering nearby food
- ▸ Replenish supplies before becoming hungry
- ▸ Remember roughly where food can be gathered
Hunting animals is both a major source of food and an important activity for developing the tribe. Different prey moves differently and varies in how easily it can be approached, so begin by gaining experience against manageable targets. The more familiar you become with hunting, the easier it is to challenge larger prey.
- ▸ Begin with prey that is easier to hunt
- ▸ Observe how each type of prey moves
- ▸ Build confidence through repeated successes
