Green Hell: How To Start A Fire

As an experienced gamer with a penchant for surviving the toughest of survival games, I can attest that Green Hell is no exception. The jungle may be lush and vibrant, but it can also be brutal and unforgiving. One of the first challenges new players face is starting a fire, which is crucial for cooking food, boiling water, and keeping warm in this harsh environment.


Thriving in the treacherous Amazon rainforest, known as Green Hell, isn’t a walk in the park. Players must ensure both their physical and mental health to make it through alive. At first glance, setting up might seem daunting, but with some experience under your belt, you can master the art of surviving in this dense jungle.

As a hardcore gamer immersed in the heart-pounding jungle survival sim, Green Hell, let me tell you, this game isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s deep, complex, and downright challenging. You’ll need to master a variety of skills just to keep yourself fed, hydrated, and alive amidst the relentless wilderness. One essential skill that stands out is fire-making.


Playing this game can be enjoyable, but it’s challenging to become proficient at it. For those who are trying it for the first time, they might feel bewildered during the initial stages of the game. One crucial task when starting out is learning how to create a fire. Without a fire, players won’t last long in the jungle. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about making a fire in Green Hell.

A Quick Guide To Making A Fire

If the game’s character chooses to take on the challenge of survival mode by plunging into the deep end, they’ll discover that creating a fire-making tool is crucial. To accomplish this, there are several essential items required:

  • 8 Sticks
  • 6 Small Sticks
  • 1 Hand Drill
  • 1 Fuel Source
  • 1 Tool

It’s important to keep in mind that there are various kinds of fires and fire-starting methods within the game. However, when starting out, players should prioritize creating a basic fire first. Here’s an easy guide to help you ignite a fire swiftly:

  • Collect Two Stones (Not Required For Tutorial Mode) – If you are playing on survival mode, then you’ll need to craft at least one knife to make a fire. Harvest a large stone to break it down into two stones.
  • Make A Knife – Open up your crafting menu and drag over two small stones to the crafting area. This will allow you to craft a stone knife.
  • Using The Knife To Chop Down Trees – You can either chop down trees, then break down the logs into sticks and small sticks, or search around the forest floor for trees and logs that can be chopped down. Chopping or harvesting a log will turn it into sticks. Chopping or harvesting sticks will turn them into small sticks.
  • Harvest The Wood – You’ll need a total of 9 sicks and 7 small sticks to craft a fire and a hand drill.
  • Craft A Fire – Open up your notebook and search for fire. Select the fire and place down a blueprint in a suitable location. Once placed, add the sticks and small sticks to the fire.
  • Craft A Hand Drill – In the craft menu, combine 1 stick and 1 small stick to make a hand drill.
  • Grab Some Kindling – To create an ember with a hand drill, you’ll need to find something to burn. Search for a bird’s nest or use some dried leaves on the hand drill to create an ember. Once you have an ember, place it on the fire to light it.

As you advance, you’ll start creating bigger and more intricate blazes. However, at the initial stage, a relatively small fire will suffice to sustain you.

Tools For Fire Making

As a gamer immersed in this survival adventure, igniting a fire is crucial for boiling water and other essential tasks. Crafting the fire’s foundation might seem challenging at first, but it requires just a handful of materials: six small twigs, eight medium-sized sticks, one hand drill, and a single dry leaf. Gathering sticks isn’t too tough; I simply chop down trees in the jungle using my crafted tool. I can make a stone blade by combining two small stones or create a bone knife from one bone and a piece of rope. If I’m lucky enough to stumble upon a deserted tribal village early in the game, I might find a handy knife there as well.

Cutting down a tree yields multiple useful items such as boards and staves in varying dimensions. Larger staves can be split into smaller pieces, allowing players who possess primarily larger staves to still procure the necessary resources for their needs.

Once you’ve gathered all the essential wood, pick out the Small Campfire icon from your notebook. This enables you to decide where to establish your campfire. You can now place your resources there to actually create the fire. You’re moving a step closer to enduring in one of the harshest survival games available.

Fuel And Ignition

Once the fire base is constructed, the player now focuses on lighting it up. To do this, they’ll need a hand drill and either dried leaves or a bird’s nest. Dried leaves have a brown color instead of the usual green and can be found on banana trees or nut trees. Alternatively, the player can dry their own leaves using a bamboo drying rack. To gather leaves, they should collect them by cutting down bushes and then use the bamboo drying rack to dry them. If the player prefers bird’s nests, they should look for them in trees as well as on the jungle floor. Bird’s nests are less predictable, making them harder to find compared to dried leaves, similar to hunting armadillos.

Following the traditional rules of survival games, this hand drill calls for a long piece of wood and a smaller stick or twig. These items are likely among what you’ve collected while gathering resources for your campfire. To create the drill, simply open your crafting interface and mix the materials together.

With a hollowed-out nest or pile of dry leaves, one can generate a spark by using a hand drill. However, be mindful that if your character lacks sufficient endurance, they might tire before finishing the process, thus wasting the tinder and potentially damaging the hand drill. Once the ember is ready, navigate to the fire base where you’ll see the “Ignite” prompt. Click on it to ignite the fire. To keep the fire burning and ensure a successful journey in this prolonged survival game, gather leaves, feathers, and other flammable materials to maintain the blaze.
