Green Hell Guides

Want to poke under Green Hell’s hood? Enable the built-in debug mode and you’ll get a pile of dev tools and cheats.

How to enable:

• Steam > Green Hell > Properties > Local Files > Browse
• Go to GH_Data/Resources
• Create a folder named Scripts, and inside it another called Debug
• In Debug, create an empty text file named DEBUG (no extension)

Handy keys and what they do:

• F1–F9: Open different debug menus (items, AI, skills, wounds, scenarios, logs, etc.)
• NUMPAD + / -: Nudge time forward or back by 1 hour
• NUMPAD ENTER: Skip ahead 10 hours
• NUMPAD /: Speed up the game; NUMLOCK toggles adjustments
• Left CTRL + M: God mode (health/stamina don’t drop)
• Left CTRL + U: Fill your notebook with all recipes/info
• Left CTRL: Show coordinates; Left CTRL + O: Detailed stats
• = (equals): Toggle rain
• Right ALT + K: Kill all nearby creatures
• Left ALT + L: Deal 10 damage to all creatures
• Z: Spawn an enemy wave
• NUMPAD 0–3: Spawn specific creatures in different states
• Left ALT + `: Instantly kill yourself
• Left ALT + Left SHIFT + `: Take 25 damage
• BACKSPACE: Take 30 “claw” damage

Tip: Back up your saves. Debug mode can bork a run if you get too spicy.

If you want a more sandboxy experience, trainers can soften Green Hell’s sharp edges. Use responsibly and stick to single-player.

WeMod highlights:

• Unlimited health, stamina, energy, sanity, nutrition (fats/carbs/proteins), oxygen
• No thirst or dirtiness, super speed, item durability lock, easier construction
• Auto-detects your game version and updates frequently

Cheat Engine (CE) tables:

• Infinite health/stamina/energy/hydration/oxygen
• Game speed, gravity tweaks, crit/healing tuning, run speed, carry weight
• Durability and fire duration control, notebook unlocks, super jump, and more
• Setup: Install CE, load the table (CT), select the Green Hell process, tick what you need

Notes:

• Back up saves.
• Expect breakage after game updates until trainers catch up.

Yes, Green Hell tips its hat to Cast Away. You can find a volleyball companion—officially “William,” but let’s be honest, it’s Wilson.

Where to find:

• 55 W, 27 S on the first map
• Head west from the starter area toward the coastline where the first black caiman hangs out
• At the far end near a big tree, slip into the water and weave around rocks—it’s tucked right there

Why bother?

• It’s a fun base trinket and a perfect mood piece for jungle solitude
• The caiman patrols that shore, so move carefully and keep your ears open

Three hidden packages unlock the “Do you want to build a snowman?” achievement. Just approach and observe each one.

The three spots:

• Drug Factory (50 W, 27 S): From the front, climb the planks, turn right, pass the microwave—on a table to your right.
• Cave SW of Drug Factory (52 W, 29 S): Enter, turn right, follow the path to a junction, take the left tunnel.
• Airport (29 W, 23 S): Before the main radio room, check the shack to the right of the entrance.

Tip: Grab these while passing through story beats—you’ll save a ton of time.

Green Hell punishes forgetfulness. These habits will save your run.

• Carry fire starters: Sticks are common; tinder isn’t. Stock bird nests when you see them. Dried leaves work too—prep them early.
• Leech patrol: Inspect arms/legs often, especially after wading or bushwhacking. Keep the inspection UI open long enough to spot worms/leeches.
• Trust your ears: Chants (tribe), rumbles (big cats), skitters/hisses (spiders, snakes). Audio warnings beat jump scares.
• Harvest the sky: It rains 2–3 times a day. Leave coconut bowls, pots, and turtle shells out for free clean water.
• Don’t sleep bare ground: You’ll wake up with worms. Build even a basic raised bed ASAP.

Arm yourself fast—everything out there bites back.

• First craft: A Weak Spear (long stick) beats empty hands and lets you spearfish early.
• Headshots = instant kills: Bows, thrown spears, even improvised stuff—land it on the head and it’s lights out for cats, tribesmen, and more.
• Durability matters: Keep backup tools or mats for repairs. Upgrade to obsidian and later metal when you can.
• Know your prey: Watch patrol routes and tells. Patience turns risky hunts into guaranteed meals.
• Practice throws: Learn the arc and release distance; you’ll save ammo and your hide.

Armor buys you mistakes. Start cheap, scale up.

• Leaf Armor: Banana leaves + rope. Super basic, super fast.
• Stick Armor: 3 sticks + 2 rope. Small upgrade, easy mats.
• Bamboo Armor: 3 bamboo sticks + banana leaf + rope. Farm bamboo forests; split big logs into sticks.
• Bone Armor: Bones + banana leaf + rope. Hunt, harvest properly, then craft—nice protection bump.
• Armadillo Armor: Armadillo shell + leaf + rope. Excellent defense if you bag one.
• Metal Armor: The endgame set. Smelt ore in a forge, cast metal pieces with molds, then combine 3 metal casts + leaf + rope per armor piece.

Tips:

• Harvest banana leaf plants, not fruit-bearing trees, so you don’t nuke your food supply.
• Craft from the right-click menu to quickly assemble parts.

A few quick wins and some long hauls across Story Mode.

• You are not prepared: Finish the tutorial.
• Soul Vine: Drink Ayahuasca for the first time.
• It’s all over, again / Just, wait for me...: Bad and good endings respectively.
• Greedy: Pick up the gold sack (same building as the grappling hook) and keep it in your backpack until credits roll—any ending works.
• Green Hell (difficulty): Beat Story on the highest difficulty with permadeath and no saves. Plan a tight route and minimize combat.
• Welcome to the jungle / I made it: Survive time milestones. On harder settings, hydration is king.
• Pacifist: Survive 10 days on King of the Jungle without traps or kills. Stay watered; you can limp by with low nutrition if you don’t pick fights.

Collectibles and exploration goals that pair nicely with a long walk.

• Casted Far Away: Find Wilson at 55 W, 27 S near the caiman coast.
• Do you want to play with a snowman?: Grab three packages at 50 W, 27 S, 52 W, 29 S, and 29 W, 23 S.
• Cartographer: Unlock 60 locations on the map in Story/Survival. Sweep edges and revisit key hubs after story beats.
• Librarian: Read 50 collectibles in Story. Check camps, labs, and side shacks.
• Globetrotter: Travel 64 km total. Combine with mapping runs to make it painless.

Once you’re stable, move into metal—the power spike is real.

Setup:

• Gather clay for the forge, ore for metal.
• Build the forge, then smelt ore into workable metal.

Core recipes:

• Arrow molds: Cast to get 3 metal arrowheads per pour.
• Metal axe: Create a metal head via mold, then combine with a stick and rope.
• Pickaxe: Stick + metal knife blade + rope—your mining workhorse.
• Metal spear: Shaft + metal spearhead + rope for top-tier hunting.
• Metal armor: Each piece = 3 metal casts + rope + banana leaf. Full set needs 12 casts, 4 rope, 4 leaves.

Pro tips:

• Metal arrows use 2 feathers + rope + metal head—big damage with reliable headshots.
• Batch-smelt to save fuel/time, and keep molds cycling so you’re never waiting on casts.

Permadeath means efficiency. Stick to this path and keep moving.

• Prep: Skip tutorial. Craft basics (spear, axe, bandages, water containers).
• 1) Abandoned Tribal Settlement (46 W, 26 S): First Ayahuasca brew.
• 2) Jeep (44 W, 17 S): Grab the gas can.
• 3) Elevator Cave (41 W, 18 S): Ride down to the Gold Mine; get grappling hook and gold bag (keep it if aiming for Greedy).
• 4) Grapple point (43 W, 25 S): Reach brew #2 at 42 W, 26 S.
• 5) Anaconda Island (35 W, 26 S): Opens eastward to brew #3.
• 6) Airport (29 W, 22 S): Fix radio with cables, loot the key, grab climbing gear.
• 7) East path (27 W, 25 S): Pick up diving gear; follow underwater cables to Swamps.
• 8) Swamps (25 W, 31 S): Brew #4.
• 9) Large Native Settlement (32 W, 35 S): Final brew and the finish line.

Tips:

• Bamboo spears are quick, accurate, and disposable.
• Avoid unnecessary fights; hydration and clean sleep matter more than a full belly on this mode.
