Updated June 14, 2025 by Benjamin Joe:Despite being released back in 2018, Green Hell is still seeing lots of new players take to the game for the very first time. Throughout all of the updates and changes, the game has grown to become a favorite among hardcore survival fans. Unlikemany other survival games, there isn’t a lot of hand holding in Green Hell. Players are expected to learn by trial and error.
While it is a fun game to play, it is difficult to master. New players who have decided to load up for the first time may feel a little lost during the early stages of the game. One of the first priorities when starting for the first time is to make a fire. Without a fire, players aren’t going to survive very long out in the jungle. This guide will go through all there is to know about making a fire in Green Hell.
A Quick Guide To Making A Fire
If the player has decided to dive into the deep end and start up survival mode, then they’ll need to craft a tool to help make a fire. There are a handful of things that players will need to build a fire:
It’s worth noting that there are multiple different types of fires and fire starters in the game.But on day one, players will want to craft a simple fire to get things started. Follow the steps below to get a fire up and running quickly:
As you progress, you’ll begin making larger and more complicated fires. But during the early stages, the small fire is just big enough to keep you going.
Tools For Fire Making
Starting a fire isessential for boiling waterand other necessities. Building the fire’s base is not a difficult process, but it does require several crafting materials:6 small sticks,8 regular sticks,1 hand drill, and1 dry leaf. Finding sticks is simple, as many of the jungle’s trees can be cut down to provide them. To collect them from trees, the player will need a cutting tool. The player can craft a stone blade out of 2 small stones or craft a bone knife out of 1 bone and 1 rope. Alternatively, the player can find a knife in the deserted tribal village encountered early in the game.
Chopping a tree provides various resources, including planks and sticks of different sizes. Bigger sticks can be broken down into smaller ones, so if the player only has the larger variety, they can still produce the resources they need.
After collecting all the necessary wood, select the Small Fire object from the notebook. This allows the player to choose where to make their fire. Gathered resources can now be deposited there to make the fire itself. The player is one step closer to surviving in one ofthe most brutal survival gamesaround.
Fuel And Ignition
With the fire base built, the player can turn their attention to igniting it. This requires a hand drill and either dry leaves or a bird’s nest. Dry leaves are brown unlike regular leaves and can be found on banana trees or nut trees. Alternatively, the player can dry leaves themselves with a bamboo dryer. Simply collect leaves by cutting down bushes, then use the bamboo drier to dry them. If the player wants to use nests instead, they should search trees as well as the jungle floor. Bird’s nests are more random and,like hunting armadillos,can be much more difficult than finding dry leaves.
Crafting a hand drill sticks to atried-and-true survival game formula,requiring1 stick or plankand1 small stick, materials the player probably already gathered while harvesting materials for the fire base. Open the crafting menu and combine the crafting materials to create the drill.To use the hand drill, hover over it in the backpack and select Use from the menu.If the player has either a bird’s nest or dry leaves in their inventory to act as tinder, the character will place the hand drill in front of them and prepare to start a fire.
Using a nest or dry leaves with the hand drill will create a flame. Note that if the character doesn’t have enough stamina, they will run out before completing the process, wasting the tinder and depleting the hand drill’s durability. When the ember is prepared, approach the fire base, and the game will display the “Ignite” prompt. Select it to start the fire. By adding leaves, feathers, and other flammable items to keep the fire going now that it’s lit, the player can see thislong survival gamethrough to the end.
