ASKA: How to Heal and Build a Shelter

With those wisps and wights relentlessly hounding you, getting around is tough. ASKA is unlike other survival games; simply eating and drinking food will not automatically heal your wounds. Hence, the quest to survive is relatively difficult here. There’s an easy fix for this though: build a shelter and rest within it.

However, to construct a shelter in ASKA, you need multiple resources and materials to succeed in this venture. These can be found in the vicinity. The following guide walks you through everything you need to know to build a shelter and care for yourself in the harsh land that awaits you in ASKA.

Constructing a Shelter in ASKA

One of the first healing steps in ASKA is to build a shelter that provides basic housing and gives you a place to regenerate your health. After creating a campfire to start the game, you should begin collecting resources needed for building your shelter. Let’s discuss the materials and tools that are needed in detail.

Essential Materials for Building a Shelter:

To construct a shelter in ASKA, you will require the following materials:

3x Long Stick	The main structural component is obtained by chopping trees with an axe. Long sticks are too big for your inventory and must be carried manually. Mark the tree location on your map.
2x Rope	This is made from two pieces of fiber gathered from plants. It is used to bind the shelter structure.
8x Stick	Additional structural support. Found on the ground or by chopping long sticks into smaller pieces.
8x Bark	Obtained by chopping down trees with an axe. Used for covering and weatherproofing.

Tools Required for Building a Shelter

In addition to gathering materials, you will need specific tools to build your shelter:

Tool	Role	Ingredients Required
Stone Axe	Essential for chopping down trees to obtain long sticks and bark.	1x Stone Blade 1x Stick. 1x Rope.
Wooden Hammer	Used for the actual construction of the shelter.	2x Stick.
Wooden Hoe	Required to level the building land.	2x Stone Blade. 4x Stick.

Steps to Build Your Shelter

Once you've gathered all the necessary materials and tools, follow these steps to build your shelter:

Choose a Suitable Location: Find a flat, safe, accessible area. If necessary, use the wooden hoe to level the ground.
Gather and Transport Materials: Collect long sticks, ropes, sticks, and bark. Mark the resource locations on your map for easy retrieval.
Construct the Shelter: Use the wooden hammer to build your shelter. Follow on-screen prompts to place materials correctly and complete the construction.
Rest and Heal: Once built, rest inside the shelter to regenerate your health and recover from injuries inflicted by wisps and wights.
