Blacktail Cheats, Tips, Strategy

You play as Yaga, a 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and expelled from an early medieval Slavic settlement. When living memories of her past return as foul, walking spirits, Yaga is faced with no other option than to hunt them down in hopes of unraveling her own mystery. The following cheats and tips will help you to progress in the game.

There is no health regen in Blacktail, this means that you have to heal manually. Listed below are the different ways in which you can do this.

- Kill Deer

Killing deer so you get meat to cook will fully heal you and also get you buffs. This is the most effective way to heal in the game, it is also the longest.

- Blueberry Bushes

Finding Blueberry bushes will heal half a heart per bush. These are useful when you want to heal on the move or while fighting a boss.

- Hocuses

If you are playing Blacktail with evil morality you can use hocuses like leech to heal. This leech hocus takes the vitality of the enemy and heals you. With evil morality, you also get a perk where killed enemies drop Blood Orbs, which heal you on pickup.

- Broom

If you have good morality, then the Broom will heal you when placed down, but you have to get to Gracious and Noble levels of morality for this perk.

Around the map are chests that you can open in order to obtain different resources which you can use for crafting and unlocking skills. There are two types of chest.

- Wooden Chest

These chests are found scattered around the map. They can be opened as soon as you find them.

- Chest Beast

This type of chest are located near groups of enemies like knolls. The Chest Beasts will only open once you have cleared out the nearby enemies, so do not try to open them until they are all dead.

If you die in Blacktail you will be forced to start again from your last save. The only way you can save in this game is by using a red flower at a shrine. Shrines can be found all around the map and placing a red flower there will set it as a respawn point. Make sure you have enough red flowers to keep saving your game and avoid having to respawn way back in the mission and losing lots of progress.

You will need to return to the hut often in Blacktail as this is where the cauldron can be found that you use to unlock skills. If you interact with the black cat which can be found around shrines you will be able to fast travel back to the hut. If you then interact with the cat outside the hut again you will return to where you were transplanted from.

In Blacktail you can see your skills on the fly anytime, but you will only be able to unlock them by using the cauldron. You should always check your skills, even when you're not at the cauldron, because they require resources to unlock them.
