Introduction

 

Welcome to Man Vs. Wild! If you're a urine drinking survivalist like the rest of us, then this is the game for you! Man Vs Wild is a survival game based off the popular Discovery program of the same name. I'd say it plays similar to the Cabala hunting games. You must traverse landscapes, search for collectibles, battle viscious woodland creatures, and survive! The mechanics are kinda clunky, and Bear can jump a mile, but it's a low budget game, so to be expected. Unfortunately there isn't a Holiday Inn nearby.

 

There are two difficulties to choose from: Normal and Survival mode. You do not have to play the game in Survival mode to acquire any achievements. You can complete this game in 1 Playthrough. If you're curious, Survival Mode essentially removes your HUD. You do not know when you need water or food, you just have to guess.

 

Playthrough 1: Complete Campaign

 

Use this first playthrough to get accustomed to the mechanics of Bear. You will start off with the Tutorial level and receive "Wild Man" upon its completion. This gives you the basic skills you'll need for building shelters, traversing landscapes and skydiving. Also use this playthrough to gather all collectibles, you can use the descriptions, or videos provided below. When going for the collectibles, should you miss 1 for a specific achievement, then you must replay the entire level again and collect them all again for that specific achievement. At the end of this playthrough you should have all achievements except "Bear Grylls".

 

About "Born Survivor" achievement: This means you can not be 'incapacitated' at any time. Being killed by the bear in Level 1 counts as being incapacitated. Sliding into a crevice in the ice cave counts as being incapacitated. Dying due to the elements will render you incapacitated. However, falling off a rock, and then the game resets you to a previous checkpoint, is not being incapacitated. Falling off that stupid horse at the end game also does not count. As long as you don't see the screen that says "Bear has been incapacitated" you are fine. If you think you're going to be incap'd, and are quick enough, you can press :start: and reload the checkpoint. If you do get the screen that says "Bear has been Incapacitated" you can dashboard the game quickly and then reload. I have heard of people doing this with success, but I can neither confirm or deny its effectiveness.

 

Step 2: Grind/Replay for Collectibles

 

After completing your campaign, if you missed any of the collectibles you can just replay the level to get what you missed. Though, you will have to recollect every type of that collectible in order for the achievement to count. After you've done that, it is safe to say you can start grinding out your experience for max level. This is done by replaying the first mission (not the tutorial) over and over again. Keep doing the skydiving stunts so you rack up a lot of points. When you land, run straight until you see the saving symbol on the bottom of your screen and then reload the level.

 

Conclusion:

 

This is a very easy game. With the guide you should spend no more than 10 hours on this game. Just make sure to grab every collectible in each level to avoid needing to replay them. Enjoy the guide!

Story related and can't be missed! Just to note it: I've landed in 3 different places during this mission. So the first 2 collectibles (bucket and shovel) change position depending on where you land.

Locate all the Gold Rush Trash in the Rockies

 

There are 9 total pieces of trash to find in the Rockies.

  1. Mining Shovel: Depending on where you land your parachute (either in the tree or on top of a cliff), if it's in the tree, you must cross a tree and then climb a cliff. Once at the top of the cliff, it's off to the left, over some small ledges, behind a tree in front of a pond. If you land on the cliff, it's off to the left.
  2. Bucket: there are two ledges you can go across, take the right side, once you pass the bucket is on the ground near the ledge overlooking a pond.
  3. Mining Barrel: after camping and the bear encounter, once you run away it's on the left before the stone pillars.
  4. Dynamite Stick: after you sleep and encounter a bear, when you run away from it there are some stone pillars. Take the middle path, and follow the pillars to the left. The sticks are on top of it.
  5. Mining Pan: Once you cross the stone pillars, you will see the pan near the water between the cattail plants.
  6. Mining Rafters: You will encounter a Puma! After it runs off, run down the right side of the hill and you will see a bunch of boards against the stone wall.
  7. Dynamite Crate: After the same Puma as above, run down the left side of the hill just past some chipmunks.
  8. Mining Cart: after crossing another log, you might see a Deer in the middle of the area. In the left of this area in some bushes is the cart.
  9. Mining Lamp: after the 2nd bear encounter, run off to the left and you'll see a campfire icon, the lamp is just past the icon.

Locate all Animals of Interest in the Rockies

 

Ok, I've played this level a few times now and different animals have triggered the "Animals of Interest". But here's a list anyway.

  1. Big Horned Sheep: after climbing the 2nd cliff you will see him on a ledge on the right side of the area. (There is also another one after the 3rd cliff on the left)
  2. Rattlesnake: you will practically run over this, it's on top of the 3rd cliff. There are multiple snakes throughout the level.
  3. Bear: you will encounter this after you make camp and sleep. Unavoidable, plus you will see it 2 more times.
  4. Elk: after the 2nd bear encounter, run way to the left of the area. The elk is across a chasm near some bushes.

Extras: I've also run across a wolf (near 2nd bear encounter), a moose (looking over a ledge near a waterfall), and a puma. Some of these have registered, some have not.

Locate the Rare Plants in the Rockies

 

There are 4 rare plants to find. These are kinda easy to spot, most plants in the game are green/brown, the rares are the only ones that have some color.

  1. Purple Flowers: (depending on where you land, if you land in the tree they will be before the first cliff you climb; if on top of the cliff you will see it below you on the ground.)
  2. Yellow Flowers: After the puma encounter, run down the hill to the left, the flowers are in front of a tree halfway down.
  3. Orange Flowers: After the 2nd bear encounter you will cross a log and climb up some small ledges, they are on the 2nd ledge.
  4. White Flowers: After jumping off a cliff and getting back to shore, the flowers are behind a tree in this area.

Head straight through and kinda keep left, you will make your way through some sawgrass, around some trees, all the while keeping left. Once through you should see a round pond with many small trees and 1 down, continue past that to the back of this area.
  5. Keg: when you encounter the bear, the bear is actually standing next to it. Hard to miss!
  6. Chemical Waste: when you reach the pond, swim all the way down to the right, at the end, swim right again around the downed tree. Once you reach land follow the path, and it's at the end.

  2. Golden Cup: You can grab this during the sandstorm, but it's best to wait until after. It is shortly after the telephone pole before you run up the hill towards a dead camel. If you grab it after, just run down the hill, it's an orange cup.
  3. Vase: After the 2nd set of landmines, it's up a small hill on the right. Before the 3rd set of mines.

Complete the "Patagonia" campaign.

 

Story related and can't be missed! The horse part at the end can be a pain. I've found that holding :rtbut: and running past the door, then loosening up on it a bit so you'll make the transition to standing. Hold slightly on :rs:, and press :abut: when the door is open, do not let go of :rtbut:. It takes some getting used to and can be quite frustrating.

Find all Five Andiperla Willinkis in Patagonia

 

There are 5 Willinkis in Patagonia.

 

  1. Bug 1: After getting to the top of the first ice cliff and you shimmy left and get on solid ground. Run past some yellow plants, and up 2 small ledges. The bug is on the 2nd ledge.
  2. Bug 2: Once you reach the top of the mountain, run straight, it's on some ice just past some paw prints and an SP orb.
  3. Bug 3: In the ice cave, keep running left to a dead end. It's a black spec on the ground.
  4. Bug 4: After bug 3, straight, jump down, over gap and up the cliff straight ahead. Keep straight and take a right, you should come upon 3 SP orbs and the bug.
  5. Bug 5: After the ice slide, you'll go up a snowy hill, and then down an incline towards some dirt areas. This one is hard to spot. Of the 3 trees in the area with the campfire icon, go the right most one that is closest to the zone wall, walk a few steps past this tree; the bug is on a small ice slope on the right side. It is before the horse area, so do not pass the campfire icon until you find it. If still having trouble with this one, try the youtube videos by vaiozero.

  5. Volleyball: After the ice slide, run to the right on a small hill.

Complete all episodes without passing out

 

Hardest achievement in the game; and it's honestly not that difficult. Must not pass out at any point during the game. Levels are replayable at any time. Once you get used to the controls and levels, this won't be or sound so impossible. Being incapacitated constitutes being killed by an animal (bear, gator etc), or succumbing to the elements of heat exhaustion, freezing etc. Once used to the levels and the collecting is complete, you can rush through a level in less than 15 minutes. You CAN dashboard the game. If it still doesn't unlock, do all the levels in one sitting by continuing with A after you complete one. As long as you don't get the "Bear has been Incapacitated" screen, you're good.

Reach the Level "Bear Grylls"

 

You collect glowing orbs, complete tasks, set traps, create camps, fight animals and such and you gain levels and attributes to help you through the level. You must reach 8000 SP (Spirit of Adventure) points to reach Bear Grylls rank. You can replay levels over to gain more SP.

 

**Credit to Chicago Staley** Boosting method: I just kept farming the parachute jump at the beginning of the first level; as soon as you land reach a save point, press start and restart the level over and over. Was getting around 184xp each go didnt take too long.

Is there some trick to getting onto the train from the horse at the end of the game? I keep falling off when I stand up or I fall off when I try to jump onto the train. I've died about 50 times already.

Man I've been playing through this on ps3 and I have to say I'm not impressed. I find it to be utter shit. I came over here to use your guide. duck360 made videos for his guide at ps3t.org but the videos are shitty quality. I was just gonna say fuck it and dump this game tomorrow like I originally planned but I'm gonna use your guide and try to get the plat I guess. If you haven't started this game yet though, I wouldn't suggest it.

It's mentioned in the guide, getting killed by the bear in Ep. 1 is incapacitated, running out of health is incapacitated, and succumbing to the elements is incapacitated.

 

If you fall off something, and it basically reloads you to a previous spot, that does NOT count. I just ran through all of them, I did fall off a few things, but I did not get incapacitated.

 

Guide is now complete as of 05/02/11.

Solid Guide but if I could make 1 suggestion. Could you put all the chapter specific trophies together? So put like chapter 1 trophies, then the trophies, etc. It just makes the guide easier to follow.

That horse part at the end of patagonia is fucking stupid. My guy keeps falling. I can get him to stand up and then he balances and it says press O to jump when the door is open and I do it and he falls to the right side, EVERY FUCKING TIME. Screw trading this game in, when I'm done with it, I'm breaking it in half.

 

Oh and btw Born Survivor is glitched. I've beaten the game 4 times, 3 without passing out, twice without using a checkpoint and once without even falling ever. This is bull.

The patagonia ending is a pain in the ass. The game is very poor on explaining what to do, and the camera angle isn't so hot either. I would usually race up past the door, then hold RT so Bear will stand. Hold slightly left on the Left Stick and he should balance himself, then A to jump in. It's easy to explain but hard to do!

 

Born Survivor may be glitched on the PS3, it is not on Xbox360. I can only suggest you play it in one sitting, and continuing after each mission. But I'm assuming you've already done that.

I cant find the little terd to save me.

 

5)After the ice slide, you'll come to an open dirt area with a campfire icon. It's just past the trees on the right side.

 

Might just me but could anyone be a bit more specific? Is the bug actually on the dirt, on the snow, right next to the wall? The trees dont stop really, so I assumed they were the trees in the dirt being referred to. I have searched several times and I just suck at finding this bug. I have accidently gone too far to the horse part and was unable to go back a few times.

 

Thanks!
