Episode 1 - Ground Zero (Level 1)
1. To find your way through the forest, use the simple HOLO-MAP (Press 'M' key). It shows a straight forward route, so you might need to take some twists and turns.
2. Remember to view / listen to those HOLO-LOG messages as you encounter them. They have vital information.
3. Unless really required (or you have a powerful weapon) don't bother fighting with the giant lake dwelling snakes. Just get away from them as quickly as possible.
