Unlike the previous games in the series where certain items only mean something to you (if you want or need them); everything is important to everyone. From the very start, collect everything you find and do not worry about filling your bag. Once you have the upgrades available for your village, it will make things much easier.
These beasts are massive, but they have one major flaw, a lot of fur. When you encounter them, take out your bow and light it on fire. Once they are hit, they will run out of sight to put the fire out. Follow them and use this opportunity to shoot more fire arrows. If done correctly, you can have them down and out using four to six well-placed arrows. This will kill them more efficiently than trying to take them on directly.
There is a tribe that eats other tribes. They will dress in blue. These warriors are very tough, and a head-to-head fight will by costly. To save yourself some trouble, earn the Silent Take Down skill and use it on those enemies. Not only are they tough, but they are also quick to call for help. The easier and faster you can take them down, the better.
Easy "Bullseye" achievement
First, craft the Long Bow, which can be crafted after building Jayma's Hut early in the game. Unlike the normal bow, it will kill unarmored enemies in one hit and is also far more accurate on long distances. Once you have the bow, go to an enemy outpost ("Swaras Outpost" to the north-east of your village is recommended). Use the owl to place a waypoint on an idle enemy to view the exact distance. When the waypoint is 70+ feet away, aim a little bit over the enemy's head and shoot the arrow. Note: If you fail, simply let the enemies kill you and you will respawn in front of the camp and can try again.
Easy "Mark 4 Wenja" achievement
Go to the cave to the east of the large frozen area. The cave is marked with a "?" symbol on the world map and is at the start of a river. Go inside the cave to see the purple skeleton of a blood dragon and get the "Mark 4 Wenja" achievement.
Easy "Right On Target" achievement
The spear will automatically become available early in the game. Once you get it, go to an enemy outpost ("Kapal Outpost" to the east of the village is recommended). Use the owl to place a waypoint on an idle enemy to view the exact distance. When the waypoint is 50+ feet away, aim a little bit over the enemy's head and throw the spear. There are also enemies randomly roaming through the woods -- so there are many possible locations to do this at. The early outposts work best because the enemies do not have any armor and will die in one hit from the spear. Note: If you fail, simply let the enemies kill you and you will respawn in front of the camp and can try again.
As it is 10,000 BCE, there are no hospitals or green leaf potions. You can replenish your health by eating meat. The easiest way to keep yourself stocked is just outside your village, where tapir and boar can be found. Kill and skin as many as possible when you get ready to go out. Eventually you will get the skill that allows you to cut out more meat, and it will help.
Fire can be an important factor in determining whether you live or die. Stay on top of your slate and animal fat, and keep things lit at night. This will scare off some of the predators in the world and/or make it easier to kill them. The sole exception are dingos; some will be scared of the fire. However once you hit them with it, they might come back and jump you from behind.
