In The Last Of Us Survival Guide we will be covering a few tips which will help you in your survival endeavors by analyzing the most basic gameplay elements of the game. Once we’re done we will be delving further into the game. If you’ve been having problems with the new Naughty Dog survival horror game, you’ve come to the right place.

• Crafting

Crafting is probably going to be one of the most powerful “weapons” at your disposal in the game: recipes for crafting are unlocked as you progress through the game. Keep an eye on your levels for the materials: once you get three full slots, it’s time to start crafting.

Even though you cannot craft an item that you want, it’s better to craft anyway if the slots are full: given how the game makes you face a variety of different situations, it’s best that you get prepared to face anything.

A simple trick to make the crafting process faster is to highlight the item and then hold X: you’ll save valuable seconds.
