Consumables | Basics Far Cry Primal Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
As you progress in expanding the village (Sayla's hut) and in the storyline, with new skills you will receive access to better methods of healing. You will also gain potions that improve Takkar's skills.
To create a potion you need specific plant. Plants can be found all over Oros. After investing in Show plants skill they will be shown on your map. Your fellow tribesmen will also put plants to the village stack (by increasing the population you will increase the number of resources).
First of all you can unlock better healing methods that will allow you to increase the health bar faster. You should set better healing as quick regeneration during harder battles. Thanks to that, healing will become more effective. You can also increase Takkar's speed, neutralize his smell (useful for hunting), increase fire resistance (useful during battles with Izila tribe and missions related to that), use an antidote (required for getting to Udam lands, also useful in some caves) or cumulate above effects with a single recipe).
Remember that every created potion works only for a limited time. You can increase that time by buying the Food boosts skills.
