This Is What Happens When You Go Deep Into the Jungle... 

I'm at 4:40 right now and figured I would drop this story for you Fooster. When I went to the Niabi Zoo I spoke to a zookeeper about how strong the Orangutans were. When they were reconstructing the orangutans exhibit they were using massive torque drivers to drive 12" screws through logs and into the walls of the exhibit and to fasten them to one another, the construction workers didn't realize that they left the screw and lug nut ends exposed in certain areas and the next day more then 90% of their work was undone. They ended up learning that the orangutans thought it was fun to unscrew the lug nuts by hand and toss them around... the lug nuts were driven into concrete with over 500ft/lbs of torque, and the orangutans used their fingers to unscrew them like it was nothing... apes are nothing to joke with man.

Fooster, if you are wondering how to give birth, you need to be the pregnant hominid or its mate and go to the bedding. It should be one of the options from there.

Fooster you have to eat the honey in front of your clan members for them to learn what to do with it. So your mate will just hold that honey until you show her to eat it.

3rd day of telling fooster, you can heal bleed wounds by stripping horsetail and mashing the leaves with rock as well. Also if you break a rock and make it into a cutter you can sharpen sticks faster, make a cutter and keep it in your camp so that you can get a sharp stick whenever you leave camp

Hey, fooster, I'm loving the series but just a tip for how to counterattack the animals you gotta hold the prime button during the slow-mo part and while holding either a stick or rock you release the prime button once you see that screen go green and there's also a slight sound that you can hear to know when to release and if you do the counterattack correctly you will see your ape hit the animal with the weapon it has in hand.

I love this series!! Love the fact that fooster is as much of a noob with this game as I am...feels like when I used to play a new video game with my best friend...discovering it together. I enjoy that a lot :)

Not sure if you already knew, but you can swing through the foliage. It takes a bit of practice, but once you know how to time it it's really useful to cover greater distance in the trees!

Small tip: the eye in the bottom left hand corner will grey out when you are climbing trees. That indicates you are Hidden. When it turns yellow and starts flashing a red ring around it, it indicates youve been spotted. If its Solid White, you are Safe and Can Be Spotted.

"Look at us with a stick!" you know its great game design when Fooster authentically is enthused by having a sharpened stick

Killing animals gives you a lot of experience points, usually you need 3 spears for a boar and 2 more for a snake. Can't wait for you to the savanna. Great video fooster! Also when you use the spear you will need to make another one quick and stab the animal again

Some helpful tips: Don't evolve until you reach your 3rd or 4th generation, have at least 4-6(or more) kids in your tribe to avoid problems later on and special stones can be given to any of the Apes you find in the wild to befriend them immediately.

Celebrating Christmas alone with covid this year, I am not sad, Just extremely bored Thank you for your content! You are making that time way more enjoyable ♥️

Be well brother! Merry Christmas 🙌🏻

I also forgot to tell you this : regarding the rocks, some of them are obviously harder than the others, so what you want to do is grab all the different types you discovered and try smashing them against each other to alter a certain type into something... _more interesting_ . That's the best way I could describe it without spoiling anything.

Fooster half of your appeal is your passion for gaming and the little moments where your excited for the game thats what keeps me coming back. Please continue to be yourself thats what keeps me coming back! I really enjoyed this video thank you so much Fooster!

Merry Christmas, Fooster. Loving the series so far. That primal joy of learning something new is SO good. I have a tip for you concerning the big cats - they hunt you. You're essentially on a timer to spawn one as soon as your feet touch the ground. Likewise, in the tree canopy, if you linger (sit still for too long) you will spawn an attacking bird. The only place you're safe is high up off the ground, but below the canopy, and within (most) settlements.

Absolutely NUTS to have been around since 5k subscribers and to see you rapidly closing in on 800k. All deserved. Your humor, your friends, the immersion and lengths you go to make your gameplay so cinematic and enthralling so unlike any other creator I watch and I absolutely love what you do. You know I'll always be around

You need to listen to sound queues when getting attacked by animals so you can do a successful dodge or attack back if you have a weapon

A little tip for the horsetail, you can alter it and should also be usable for bandages as well. Another tip for rocks, use granite rocks (best rock) to smash each other and when you use those to sharpen a stick it'll be much much faster

An altered basalt tool is an absolute essential for saving time and altering other things like horsetail etc... also use your smelling sense to find food

Fooster. Im so happy that ive had the priveledge of stumbling upon your channel. You make watching other content that ive seen on other channels way mor entertaining. Your detail to character is epic.. Thank you my friend!

I can only imagine how excited he'll be when he finds out he can swing from branch to branch

Fooster does any thing new and explores the forest *Smilodon cat: I'm gonna end this apes whole lineage* 🤣😂

Try hitting the different kinds of rock together, they may have different hardnesses so you can make tools with them if i remember right

I know I’m watching this much later then it was posted but I just wanted to say you inspired me to play the game and it really made it more fun your channel is amazing and you always make my day

Mary Christmas and happy holidays!! The “achievements” in the top really help learn new things when you go to a sleep spot. I would recommend trying to get them. Love you Fooster and keep going. It will be hard though! Edit: ALWAYS use your senses even when you don’t think is anything. Also remember to use smell to find food and resources.

Fooster drinking the coconut which was supposed to be gifted to the other ape after failing to rescue him made me laugh so hard

Now you're making progress! haha More tips: almost everything can me modified with tools or hands, try it always with each different item, switch hands, inspect, etc; modified basalt is the strongest rock and along obsidian is better for fighting, modify sticks, open coconuts, cut meat..., granite can be modified into grinders for some plants; unlock communication neurons so you can give orders to the other clan members to grab items, switch hands and make tools/weapons (IMPORTANT: tell them to carry the weapon/tool with the left hand, if it's on the right they won't be able to eat and will die), then you can take all of them to explore with the 6 babies, they will "learn" and repeat what you do, giving you more neural energy and you'll be able to scare bigger things; take all the babies next to meteors, they get a random mutation unlocking new neurons that you can't unlock otherwise. Once you're able to explore with all the clan carrying sticks it's a walk in the park. This is like watching myself the first weeks i played this game, love it hahah

Merry Christmas Fooster! So the one thing i want to point out is the entire game is kind of based on the Concept that there are visual triggers to know when to do something. just as some examples to perfect dodge you have wait for that flash just like the green flash when crafting or bonding. Same with attacking with a Rock or sharpened stick except you have to be facing what you want to attack

I absolutely loved the video, just like every other one of your uploads. The game is super cool and intriguing, and your style suits it perfectly. A little bit of humor here and there, but you also take the game seriously and show a legitimate interest in its content. I just wanna say thank you for the great experiences you always give us, and take care of yourself man.

The amount of love this fanbase has is crazy. I don't see this much love given on huge RU-vidrs. Must be something special. Subbed.

If I had not been already a subscriber, I would have subscribed now. People who call for no "backseat gaming", "armchair directing", or whatever you call suggestions, who at the same time google their answer to not appear clueless, are literally shutting down community interaction for selfish reasons. You do a perfect 180 and make your community feel involved, and your gameplay delivery atop of that is just delightful.

this guy is the reason I still have insomnia, I don't get tired till 7am most of the time and this channel keeps me alive. I haven't slept in 2 days and haven't been bored cuz of Fooster. for what I'm willing to bet is most of our sanity please keep going

Thank you, Fooster, for the continued great content, and I wish you and yours a merry Christmas, and a happy new years, and good health for next year as well!

OMG, I am so happy you didn't make me wait for another episode, Fooster!!! 🥳

Fooster I have only recently came across your posts and I subscribed because you have a great way of coming across objectively and honestly even though I don't have a computer but I appreciate the effort you put into your videos . Much respect

Merry Christmas fella thank you for all what you do as a RU-vidr love the vid you and Fisk do and am really enjoying this series much love and hope your well

Keep ‘em coming fooster!❤️ loving these videos

Fooster playing an ancestral-evolution type of game and discovering his ancestral roots through this is amazing! Every discovery brings so much excitement and pride in his journey with these characters that I just want to see more! LOVE it!

"alright so let's drop the stick" (Rock) 😂😂😂😂

btw you can hold on to the foliage ,like the hanging branches and swing on them,it makes getting down from high places easier

Thank you for introducing me to this game I just bought it from the steam Christmas sale❤

I love how, at 48:50, fooster fails to notice the "give birth" option.

I’m crying from the 38:16 part you was honestly scared mate 😂😂😂

I usually do this and that while mostly just listening to RU-vid videos, but when Fooster plays this I am fully invested. I am really, really enjoying this series and looking forward to seeing it evolve.

I wasn’t sure if I liked this game because it’s so unlike other games out there but you got me hooked on it and I love seeing you learning the new things and jumping for branches although each time it also does a flip for me lol it’s turning into a great time Merry Christmas

Honestly avoided gameplay of the game like the plague because I wanted to go in completely blind but the pacing you have with the game and keeping it entertaining i just can't resist well done!

Gained a new subscriber! I love Ancestors and I've not seen very many people I watch play it. Found your first video on it and just love your curiosity about the game and watching this feels like I'm figuring out how to do things too! Merry Christmas! 🎄

I love this game and it's awesome to see you play it. This game really doesn't like to let you stay on the ground outside that initial area. I was on that cliff above the swamp once and it sent a croc after me. A croc, on a cliff. And yes, predatory creatures will stalk you. The ones outside the group are outsiders you need to help to befriend. To find out what any of the apes need you need to watch them, their actions will tell you what they need. When the darkness starts to enclose the screen that's your character having trouble staying awake.

Gotta say I'm really enjoying this game I could see a long series❤️

there has to be a way to make stone weapons maybe just have to get the neurons flowing in the right order & there might be a reason to move the clan if the food supply gets scarce. But am really enjoying this game and hope to see more for sure

Don’t blame you one bit, when this released I tried it out but gave up cuz I couldn’t figure anything out, I decided to give it another shot recently and I 100% it. Monke game is fun

Hey Fooster I would like to thank you for continuing the series for Ancestors, others did videos on it, but I really enjoy your content dude and appreciate the time you are putting into a game that I found interesting. I do not have the time to try it for myself so thank you for playing it for us.

Fooster saying "Look at that big bitch" at 19:47 completely took me out lmao

Hey Fooster! Keep eating and smelling and hearing everything, it helps build the muscles and memory of your infants to pass on. You’ll also have to a later everything you see, keep switching hands, the experience gets passed down through generations which will also respawn all the ingredients and tools you find. I’m playing the game along side you and recently found out that you can swing from the leaves of the trees!

It's always hard watching someone learn a game that you know how to play but I'm enjoying watching you figure things out. Small tip: experiment with hitting rocks together.

Merry Christmas🎅, love the series . Tip: Start smashing different rocks together, you can make better tools.

Merry Christmas everyone and i hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!😄🎄🎄✨

Fun fact: Obsidian blades are so advantageous in performing surgery on very thin skin such as the eyelids or genital area they are still used in modern medicine. They have been produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, varying in length from one foot to a few micrometers, and they may be sterilized by autoclaving. In the Americas, obsidian tools found at the site of Santa Isabel Ixtapan, Mexico, have been associated with a mammoth skeleton. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the tools may be as old as 10,000 years. Obsidian tools found in Ethiopia might be as old as 180,000 years.

I absolutely am in love with this series. I had a thought tho. Could you combine fiber with anything maybe?

Cant wait for the next episode. Found you from The Forest, have twice the hours in this game though just because I love how unique it is. Please continue this series all the way till the end!

If you climb up in your first settlement and the left you have honey and in the right somewhere up there is a gem that will reduce your fear when you hold it. Never figured out how to get the honey, also you can fish with the spears you make

i love this series so much! discovering things the same time as you is so cool :)) thank you so much for all your continuous hard work ❤️ happy holidays fooster! ❄️

Every time the ape touches the ground I get instant anxiety 😂 Everything in the forest is so vicious

Fooster you're contents are awsome! This is the only game where u actually need to use your intelligence in such an immersive way, i find myself fully gone primal-mode asking myself everything about how i do things irl and how those very simple actions are the results of milions of years of evolution... just a few tips: -basic needs as water food and sleep, if can see the vitality bar pulsing green that means that action is working (when it's stop means u don't need more of that) -keep inspectioning EVERYTHING! Nothing have just aesthetic porpuse...

the more clan members you have with you, the easier it is to intimidate. even easier when they're holding sticks and stuff! However defending them might be a challenge :)

Bless ya, Foost! Send our love to Fisk, Taco et al too! Have a good one 🫡

42:15 I was watching this last night and could not stop laughing 😂😂😂 Literally cried like the emoji. Had a knot in my throat. 😂 Your commentary is the best. I’m a big fan Fooster. Just recently subscribed. I watched your first video but stopped cause I also wanted to experience everything myself spoiler free. Now that I dumped in an easy 30 hours, your videos are the best! I’ll continue to do so until you reach a part I yet haven’t done.

hey foost , Waiting on metro while watching this , love both series but ya'know , Good work out there!

We love you fooster and enjoy your content and appreciate your hard work

**Gets eaten alive by big cat** Fooster: *"Let's have a drink!"*

If you find a Basalt rock and alter it you cam make a sharpened stick with like 3 or 4 hits instead of like 10 hits. And don't forget, you can attack an enemy with a rock or sharpened stick. But you have to have the weapon in your right hand

Fooster is so adorable when he gets super excited and invested lol. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and thank you for being you. ❤

*some hominid got mauled by sabertooth, Fooster: "well, i guess its time to drink coconut juice.." :D

The circle at the bottom of your screen, when you eat or drink if it pulses yellow it means you are fulfilling a need, when it stops flashing that need is met

Fooster when your done with this game have you thought of playing a game called this land is my land? I would also like to wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year and hope your doing alot better. I Enjoy watching you play all these interesting games i would have never heard of. Thank you for all the content you put out for others to watch.

Kyu needs to see you eat the honey on the stick to know it's edible, and gather the clan to you when you make the honey dipper and when you're collecting the honey, that way the clan learns how you got your sweet treat.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! And thank you, Fooster, for being you and letting us have an amazing community that I can be proud of myself. ♥

"When I say guys that Everything in this is trying to kill you, it really is." The fact that Fooster doesn't seem to realize that statement also includes him is some peak irony. Especially since he has so far been his own worst enemy. He hears scary noises so what does he do? Climb up a tree to safely scout the area from an advantageous position? Fuck no. He wonders around on the ground in thick brush with two side dishes hanging off him and begs for something to kill him.

Stumbled on your videos yesterday, and today I will buy the game to play in the night!!!! Thanks for showing this game

Amazing stuff keep the series comming love this game and every time i e it faling in love with it all over again.. And hope every one is having a great new year and a happy christmas

Hey fooster, just so you know you can swing on the leaves in a tree instead of just going from branch to branch. It’s easier and quicker to get around, just hold your jump button. P.S. I’m only 10 mins in this vid so idk if you ended up figuring that out :))

Thank you for this great Christmas present! Big up The Fooster

BRING BACK ANCESTORSSSSS

Foster, I'm not watching this at the time it was recorded but the last minute or 2 is when I said "You know what, this is a great channel and I would enjoy more content from him!" So I subbed and liked!

Please play this game until the end, it is such a satisfying survival game and you are one of the first big youtuber I've seen give it it's due and play more than one or two episodes

Fooster, I genuinely hope yourself and your family have a wonderful time over the holidays and that all you hope for becomes a reality Keep doing what you love as your a long time dead From Scotland Nollaig Chridheil agus bliadhna mhath ùr bhon a h-uile duine shuas an seo Had a blithe yule an a haud Hogmanay fae aw your Scots pals Merry Christmas and a happy new year from everyone up here

Please keep going. I personally love this series, and watching you play it is much better than the others.

Carry a sharp stick with you when you explore. Defend those babies lol

Easily one of your best series. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

"This would be one hell of a work out!" You've no idea, Foo! Single momhood (and just parenthood in general) builds strength in so many ways! 🤣 Also, Merry Christmas, Foo. I hope you're having a healthy and happy holiday. ❤

Another episode already!? Nice! It must be Christmas! When you layed down with your partner, I briefly saw the option pop up that said "give birth" Happy holidays dude! Can't wait to see more

pretty cool how the Fooster community is teaching him life things like dangerous plants, how to find shelter when in the wild, and giving birth.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game so much 'cause we love watching you. Successes and mistakes, it's all a learning curve for the Cesar Tribe. 🍻

Let's gooo love this series and a question what happened to metro exodus

The Split Water Fall Oasis is a great spot for the second settlement. It’s near “Where The Rivers Meet” landmark. There are a few nicer and safer places, but too far away this early in the game.

Love the series, keep it up!

Fooster, your voice is uniquely friendly and perfect for RU-vid, in my meaning. I dont much care for these " Monkey buisness" But watch them still. Simply for your voice and that joy you have when doing things and succeed. That commitment, Olalalal! Thats just awsome! hahaha

all i can say is, i love all your videos and i have watched almost every video of yours in this channel and last but not least, FOOSTER i fucking love you haha🤍😂

Love the series pls continue👍
