Recovery & Bivousacs

Micro-Recovery: "The Shake Out"

Used while climbing.

• How: Find a stance. Hold Shake Out button.
• Effect: Recovers current stamina pool.
• Limit: Cannot recover "Greyed out" stamina (Pump).

Macro-Recovery: The Bivouac (Camp)

The Bivouac (Portaledge) is your home. You can deploy it at specific zones (anchors) or sometimes freely on ledges.

1. Hands Care (Critical)

• Mechanism: Aava's hands get cut/bruised. This permanently lowers max grip.
• Action: Use Tape or Bandages in the Medical tab.
• Priority: #1. Bad hands = Game Over.

2. Cooking

• Raw Food: Small benefit.
• Cooked Food: Large benefit + Buffs.
• Recipes:
  • Herbs + Water = Infusion (Stamina regen buff).
  • Rat/Meat + Stick = Kebab (Health + Hunger).
  • Yellow Yak = Burst Energy.

3. Sleep

• Restores Health.
• Passes Time (Wait out storms).
• Warning: Sleeping burns Hunger/Thirst. Don't sleep if you are starving unless you have food to wake up to.

4. Crafting

• Scrap Metal: Found on the wall or by Climbot.
• Use: Fix pitons, craft new ones, repair gear.

The "Pump" (Lactic Acid)

If you climb too long without a Bivouac, your stamina bar turns grey from the right side.

• Cure: Massage (at camp), Sleep, or specific Infusions.
• Danger: Do not attempt Crux moves when Pumped.
