What are Abilities and what do they do?
Abilities are a feature in Path of Titans that allow each playable creature to have its own unique gameplay style suited to the creature. These abilities can include passive and active abilities for in and out of combat.
What are Marks and how do I earn them?
Marks are the in-game currency of Path of Titans. You can earn marks by completing quests within the game, and spend them to unlock new skins, abilities and more! Marks cannot be purchased with real-world money.
What are Quests and what are they for?
Quests are a feature in Path of Titans that allow players to work alone or with friends to earn Marks, unlock abilities and skins, and grow their character from a small juvenile to a full-grown adult.
What is water and food quality and how does it work?
Water and food in Path of Titans both have a limited amount of resources before they are depleted and can’t be used anymore. Both water and food quality will replenish slowly over time.
There are special quests for areas with low water quality that allow you to replenish the quality faster and earn Marks. If it is raining in game, the water quality will increase faster than usual.
Is there fishing and how do I do it?
To fish you must have a semi-aquatic creature or purchase an ability which would allow you to dive underwater. You can fish in various water bodies across Panjura and Gondwa.
Fish like to swim under floating debris but can be found elsewhere too.
Fish come in 3 different sizes: Small, Medium and Large. Small fish are typically slower and easier to catch but do not provide as much food as larger fish.
You can catch fish by surprise by preparing an ambush. Fish will flee when they detect movement.
What are Homecaves and what do they do?
Homecaves will act as your player home and a place to equip new abilities in Path of Titans. Homecaves will start small but can be expanded and decorated. If you log out inside a Homecave you will also receive a limited amount of growth boost the next time you log in!
We also have a short video about Homecaves on YouTube!
What are Waystones and how do they work?
Waystones are a teleportation feature inside Path of Titans to make it easier for friends to meet up. You can find them on the map marked with a green leaf icon.
After inviting a player using the Waystone it will remain under cooldown and slowly recharge over time. The cooldown can be bypassed by paying Marks or by completing a restoration quest.
We also have a short video about Waystones on YouTube!
What is Matchmaking and how does it work?
Matchmaking is a system in Path of Titans that allows players to quickly and easily join a multiplayer server in the selected region. Players can set their preferred region in the settings in the gameplay tab.
How do I switch servers?
If you wish to change servers within the same region, we recommend waiting a short while to ensure matchmaking will not place you in the server you left.
To change a server immediately you may want to try to adjust your server region. This can be done in your Gameplay Settings. Your region is set to Automatic by default and matchmaking will use this setting to put you on a server within or closest to your region. Please be aware that regions far away will increase your latency significantly. A high latency may cause various networking issues and impact combat.
Is there controller support for PC and Mobile?
Yes! Path of Titans supports Gamepad, Playstation®, and Xbox controllers! If you have an unsupported controller, please let us know by contacting our support.
Is there a permanent death/hardcore mode?
Permadeath (dying causes your character to be permanently deleted) is not enabled on Official servers.
We may host servers featuring this experimental game mode outside of our matchmaking feature.
Community servers have the option to enable permadeath. If you are interested in permadeath for a more hardcore experience consider joining a community server with this enabled. You can search for community servers in the Community Servers tab.
How do I fly?
How to take off from the ground:
Sprint forward
Jump up into the air
While in the air, press jump again to spread your wings!
You can also try to jump of a high place and press jump while you are in mid-air!
How to conserve stamina
Flying has 4 states:
Flying forward using your device's input method.
This method consumes a moderate amount of stamina.Sprint flying or flying while sprinting.
This method consumes the most amount of stamina.Hovering or holding precise movement to hover in the air.
Depending on your species this may consume a large amount to a lesser amount of stamina.Gliding or flying forward without forward input using momentum.
This method uses the least amount of stamina and with enough momentum can also be a desirable method of travel.
In order to conserve stamina you may want to avoid using sprint flying to travel forward. Flying utilises momentum and for efficient travel you might want to utilise the dive method:
Try to gain a decent amount of altitude by aiming your camera up and/or holding the jump button.
Aim the camera down and dive towards the ground to gain momentum.
Level out your flyer to avoid hitting the ground.
Use the momentum to glide or to gain altitude again.
You do not need to sprint while using this method and it might save you some extra stamina if you don't. The more momentum you obtain, the further you can glide.
Some species glide further than others. Generally, the larger you are, the further you glide.
Be aware! The faster you fly the harder you will hit the ground or other obstacles if you collide! Try to slow down or hit the precise movement key when you approach the ground to land safely.
How do I dive?
All aquatic and semi aquatic creatures can dive naturally. Some creatures like the Concavinator and Megalania can also dive if they have equipped the Nictating Membrane ability.
To dive:
Enter deep water (your character must be swimming).
Hold the crouch button to dive.
Precise movement is reversed in water for creatures that can dive. This means your character will automatically turn the direction your camera is facing. Hold the jump button to swim towards the surface (up).
You can toggle precise movement while you swim to look in different directions without swimming there.
What are group slots?
Every group has a total maximum of 12 group slots. The larger the creature, the more group slots are occupied by said creature in a group.
All juveniles start out only occupying a single group slot. This allows them to be part of a larger family or group.
As your creature grow it will occupy more group slots so don't be surprised if you are unable to fit into the same group you did as a hatchling once you've reached adulthood. Some smaller creatures may never occupy more than a single group slot no matter their age.
Why can't I change my skin?
If you recently spawned in as a baby you will be wearing the baby skin. All juveniles of the same species have the same skin with slight colour variation. This skin will slowly fade away as you grow older.
If you unlock a new skin and equip it, you might not see any difference straight away if your creature is still very young. The skin you equipped is the skin your baby will slowly shed into as you grow older.
Adult skins starts to become more prominent at the later stages of adolescent.
If your creature is already adult, your creature might also already be shedding. It takes a little bit for your creature to finish shedding so if you recently equipped a skin or changed a colour, you will have to wait until your shedding is complete before you can save any further changes and shed again.
What is combat weight?
Path of Titans base a creatures main damage output on the creatures combat weight. Combat weight is based on the size and weight of the creature. A small raptor will not deal as much damage as a large tyrannosaurus in a single bite. The same applies to juveniles. Your combat weight is low while you are still young but as you grow you both increase in size and force!
Combat weight also determines if a creature is able to deal trample damage to another creature or not. If your combat weight is much higher than your opponents, you can deal trample damage by holding shift and running into them. If your combat weight is equal or close, you may not deal any significant damage.
Tip: Avoid sprinting around any babies you want to protect. You may accidentally deal trample damage to them!
Combat weight also determines if you are able to pick up another creature or not. Creatures like Hatzegopteryx, Sarcosuchus, Tylosaurus or Tyrannosaurus are all able to pick up playable who are underneath a pre-determined combat weight.
What do herbivores eat?
Most herbivores start their journey with the "Herbivore" diet in their Metabolism slot. Creatures with the herbivore diet can eat berries and fruit, berries being your primary food source. Berry bushes are identified by their red berries and grows beneath small fruit trees. These trees are unique and learning what they look like will help you spot berry bushes from a greater distance.
The Forager diet allows you to eat flowers, nuts, roots, fruit and succulents. You will not be able to eat berries from berry bushes while this diet is equipped. The plants you can eat are also part of the quest system so you might run into them as you quest for growth. Each region may vary in which food items are available so be sure to familiarise yourself with the flora before you get too hungry. Below are some of the various food items available.
The herbivore class can also access omnivore diets. Please see the Omnivore section further down below!
What do carnivores eat?
Carnivores live of other animalistic food sources such as critters, insects, deceased creatures and players. Different types of carnivores start with different types of diets.
Hypercarnivores need fresh red meat. This can be obtained from any player you kill or from non-toxic and non-aquatic vertebrates and crustaceans. Critter AI can be found roaming the world or in burrows. Young and small creatures will fill up their food meter quick an easy through one or two critters while large apex carnivores will need to hunt other large players in order to sufficiently sustain themselves.
Scavengers can eat noxious meat, fish, carrion and bones. Semi-aquatic players can also eat shellfish while some venomous creatures can also eat mushrooms. Carrion like the ones pictured below are static items spread all over the map and if you do not directly see them you might hear the flies buzzing around them. Noxious be obtained from certain critters like the platyhystrix, pictured above as a green creature with a round sail structure on its back. Fish can be found swimming in the sea, ponds and deep rivers. Some fish prefer to swim around floating debris in the sea. Bones can be found in boneyards and in certain nesting areas.
Carnivores with the Fisher diet can eat both fish and some also fresh red meat! Fish can be found swimming in the sea, ponds and deep rivers. Some fish prefer to swim around floating debris in the sea.
Some carnivores can also select the Insectivore diet. Please see the Omnivore section below.
What do omnivores eat?
Insectivores can find insects in anthills, termite mounds, rafflesia or hunt scorpions for their meat.
Herbivores that branch into the Fisher diet can eat fish, and shellfish. Fish can be found swimming in the sea, ponds and deep rivers. Some fish prefer to swim around floating debris in the sea. Shellfish can be found close to water. Shellfish can be found close to water.
Some creatures of the herbivore class can also access the same Scavenger diet as carnivores. Scavengers can eat noxious meat, fish, carrion and bones. Carrion like the ones pictured below are static items spread all over the map and if you do not directly see them you might hear the flies buzzing around them. Noxious be obtained from certain critters like the platyhystrix. Fish can be found swimming in the sea, ponds and deep rivers. Some fish prefer to swim around floating debris in the sea. Bones can be found in boneyards and in certain nesting areas.
