Wytchwoodis a new crafting puzzle game from Alientrap. Although this cozy little indie title is all about traveling the world and mixing ingredients together to make spells, players will come across some difficult areas filled with strange puzzles and dangerous creatures. Here are some tips for players just getting started in thisAnimal Crossing- orStardew Valley-like craftingfairytale.
Unlock Wytchwood’s Waypoints ASAP

Collect Everything
It seems like a no-brainer that players should be collecting all the odds and ends they find in the world in order to make bigger and better spells later on in the game. However, players may stop collecting certain items when they feel they have enough of them already, like Impeye Nuts, Twigs, Meaty Morsels, or the items tomake jars inWytchwood. But be assured, no matter how many of these items players have already collected, they will most likely need more.
Use the Witch’s Sight on Every Little Thing in Wytchwood
The Witch’s Sight is a massively useful tool inWytchwood.This tool allows players to scope out new creatures and find out their weaknesses, unlock new recipes, and even just learn some new information about the people, plants, and animals around them. If players are ever stuck, the best thing they can do is to use the Witch’s Sight on every object they can find with a white outline. Along with the Witch’s Sight, players should also keep a close eye on their Quest list, which is in the main menu along with their grimoire, usable items, and map.
Keep Some Spells On Hand
There are some items that players should always have on hand. It’s a good idea to always have these things no matter what:
Talk to Everyone
Similar toold-school RPGslikeKing’s QuestorFinal Fantasy 1, players need to chat with everyone they come across. NPCs in this game hold a lot of information, and each one can add a little something to the story or the quest the witch is on.
Wytchwoodis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
