Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks Avatar Frontiers of Pandora guide, tips

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is an elaborate production that can seem a bit overwhelming. On this page we've written out some useful tips to help you understand the game.

Last update: 06 December 2023

On this page we prepared a few useful tips that will help players at the start of their adventure with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The titular moon is a beautiful yet dangerous place which may be quite overwhelming at first. Our tips include topics like exploration, combat, and a few less obvious mechanics.

Start each approach to enemy with sneaking

1 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Avatar Frontiers of Pandora offers a lot of freedom when it comes to approach to gameplay. Even if you prefer open, all-out combat, eliminating some of the enemies quietly may make the incoming battle easier. By using Na'vi Senses during the infiltrating phase, you can mark enemies - this will give you an immense advantage during open combat, as you'll know exactly where the enemies are placed.
  1. Your initial weapon, Longbow, is effective on longer distances and is powerful enough to kill a standard soldier with one shot. Well-aimed explosive arrow or a slingshot bomb, can on the other hand, instantly eliminate or heavily damage enemy mechs. Even if the approach led to detection, starting the infiltration while sneaking will make matters easier and reduce the risk of enemy calling for reinforcements.

Use the Hacking Tool

2 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Hacking Tool is obtained quite early, after the first visit to Resistance HQ. Although it may seem to only have a use when opening locked chests and completing mission objectives, it is employed in a variety of interactions. With the tool, you can hack enemy mechs and turrets. To do this, sneak up on an enemy machine - hacking can be started when the crosshair takes a round shape.
  1. After successfully completing the minigame, you can activate the hack immediately, or start it remotely. You can place hacks on up to 5 machines at once. After activation, the hacked machine stops and becomes idle and defenseless for a few seconds. You can use this time to complete a mission objective without being detected, put the most powerful enemy units out of commission during battle, send a barrage of projectiles at the machine, or eject the pilot from its cockpit after unlocking one of Ancestor Skills.

Use Na'vi Senses

3 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Na'vi Senses are very useful and help in variety of ways. With Senses, you can see opponents through walls, mark them, see outlines of chests and interactive objects, and locate mission objectives - these are marked with greenish light. Additionally, you can use them to scan animals, and the results from observation are saved in Hunter's Guide. As a result, using Na'vi Senses during exploration and before combat is always a good idea that will make your life easier.

Look for Tarsyu Flowers

4 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. One of the most powerful obtainable skills in the game are Ancestor Skills. When unlocked, they add new tactical options and affect the gameplay heavily - among them, there are e.g. double jumps, lowered fall damage, or the ability to eject pilots from mechs. Each Ancestor Skill is unlocked by finding a Tarsyu Flower. The first flower is found quite early during the story - the remaining flowers will be marked on your map and you need to reach them on your own. It is definitely worth taking a detour to get them - each Ancestor Skill makes you much more powerful.

Don't forget about food

5 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Apart from health, you need to watch your Energy, symbolized by a purple bar at the bottom of the screen below the health bar. Energy decreases on its own over time, and when you run out, you no longer will be able to regenerate health automatically until you replenish it. It is also used for different actions, such as fast travel. Energy can be regenerated through eating food - found or cooked by yourself in kitchens scattered around the map.
  1. During your adventures on Pandora, gathering plants and hunting will provide you with ingredients from which you can cook various dishes. You can follow known recipes or experiment. Various ingredients offer different effects, which after cooking manifest in the form of temporary bonuses to your statistics. A dish consists of two ingredients. First added ingredient will determine the received bonus after consuming, while the second ingredient will influence how long the effect will last.

Devote extra time to gather crafting materials

6 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. One of the most important mechanics in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is crafting, and the related interface can be viewed by interacting with workbenches. For more complex crafting recipes, you'll need specific materials that may be hard to come by. Each reagent has two gathering pre-requisites which fulfilling improves its rarity. The higher the quality of materials, the better the crafted item will be.
  1. When attempting to gather something, you're going to need to pass a gathering mini-game. Initially, the game shows tips on how to complete the mini-game - however, they will quickly disappear, which means you need to quickly learn the idea behind it. The first action for gathering will be grabbing the material gently, which is made by holding the button lightly. Tilt the material to find a right angle - you'll know you've found it when the material stops trembling. Press the held button harder to acquire the material. If you haven't made a mistake, the item will be of higher rarity.
  1. The second requirement is completing a circumstantial condition. You can learn it by examining the material with Na'vi Senses before gathering it. The conditions differ based on the material - it may be, for example, having to gather the material when there is rainfall. Fulfilling these conditions also improve the rarity of the material.

Place your own markers on the map

7 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Pandora, is a beautiful, but diverse world which navigating may produce problems. The road to the current objective may require careful observation of your surroundings and contextual clues, or you can use your Na'vi Senses to display helpful markers. However, these won't appear on the compass in the upper part of the screen.
  1. You can make the journey to the next objective easier by placing your own markers on the map instead of relying only on indicators given by the game. Manually-placed markers appear on the compass in the upper part of the screen, leading you to your objective without having to rely on Na'vi Senses to check if you're going the right way.

Look for footprints when investigating

8 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Investigations are a mechanism during which you have to look for clues and pair them together. The clues are always close together, but sometimes distinguishing them from the environment can be a challenge. You can find and highlight them using the Na'vi Senses.
  1. One of the most common clues in various investigations are footprints. They can be almost unnoticeable without using Na'vi Senses - or even with them on if you look at the ground from the wrong angle. If you're having trouble finding the final clue during your investigation, look at the ground - it's very possible that you missed the footprints.

Engage in side activities

9 - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora: Tips and tricks - Basics - Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Guide
  1. Avatar Frontiers of Pandora contains a lot of different side activities - tasks, bases to clear, puzzles to solve, collectibles to find. The game's balancing assumes that the player does them regularly. Rushing through the main story while ignoring the side content will make the main missions much more challenging, as your character won't be developed enough.
  1. Each task in the game is marked with a digit representing the recommended character level. You can increase your power by gaining new abilities, better equipment, improving your max health, etc. Before starting a quest, make sure that Strength of your hero is equal or higher than recommended. It you fall behind, do a few side activities or craft or buy better equipment.
