There are some features that Path of Titans doesn't thoroughly explain to beginners of this MMO, so we've come up with a few tips and pieces of knowledge that will be essential to you as a beginner. Here are a few things you didn't know, including tips for creating your character and exploring the vast world. Path of Titans has danger around every turn, so following these tips may even save your dinosaur's life.

You Can Pick Between Herbivores And Carnivores

Herbivores and Carnivores are the two types of dinosaurs you can pick between. Although most players gravitate towards a carnivore, herbivores are also very powerful, and they each have their own distinct advantages that make them worth using.

You should base your final decision on the stats of each dinsour and how they fit with your preferred play style. Each dinosaur is different, regardless of if it's a Herbivore or Carnivore, so there are lots of options to choose between.

One of the most notable differences between Herbivores and Carnivores is their food source. Herbivores eat plants that you forage, such as mushrooms. Carnivores can eat a wide range of different creatures that you can find and kill throughout the open world, including both land and water animals.

You Can Change The Color Of Your Dinosaur

While creating your dinosaur, there's a section on the right side of the screen that allows you to change the color of the creature. It's easy to miss this option when you want to get into the game as quickly as possible, but it's worth looking at since it adds an extra unique feature to your dinosaur.

Choosing between a male or female dinosaur gives you another way to customize your creature even further.​​​​​​

Don't Make Too Much Noise

One mechanic in Path of Titans allows you to use your dinosaur to create sound effects. Although the sounds are fun to make, it may not be immediately apparent that it's also a great way to attract the attention of more powerful dinosaurs. As such, you need to avoid making these sound effects as a new player while around other players.

Although avoiding these sound effects isn't a necessity, it'll likely help you survive and give you an advantage over other new players who don't know about the risk of roaring in the woods. Make sure to be around only allies before expressing yourself using dinosaur sounds.

Speed Is Essential

Speed is important in most video games that include individual stats, however, Path Of Titans has a large open-world where you'll be traveling a lot. In addition to that, there's no fast travel, so your dinosaur will be walking from point A to point B quite frequently throughout your adventure.

As such, you need to pay extra special attention to the stats that each dinosaur possesses when creating your first one. The other stats are also essential, but Land Speed and Water Speed are important if you want to save time and avoid long trips across the world. Speed is also advantageous for combat since you'll potentially be faster than your enemy.

Activate Auto-Sprint

As we just mentioned, speed is essential. However, there's a tip to help you if your dinosaur lacks a quick movement speed. An auto-sprint feature exists in the game, and it's very useful when traveling long distances.

However, make sure to pay attention to your stamina meter while auto-run is activated.

You Can Fish To Get Food

If you chose to play as an Aquatic Carnivore, then one of the best ways to collect food is by fishing. Unlike most other video games with fishing mechanics, you'll need to dive under the water to catch fish with your dinosaur's mouth, which is more unique than using a traditional fishing pole and hook.

There are bodies of water all over the open world, so it's not difficult to find a fishing spot in most cases. However, there are negatives to fishing, and you'll need to be careful. For example, fish won't spawn as often in low quality water. Additionally, the fish spawn rate for any given body of water will decrease if you kill too many fish in a short time period.

There are multiple species of fish in Path of Titans, each with a unique appearance. You'll also find bigger fish in bigger lakes. Overall, fishing is a great way to find food, especially since water is fairly common, so you should try to prioritize this food source.

Your Dinosaur Unlocks New Abilities As It Ages

The number of abilities you can unlock is directly related to your dinosaur's current age. As a Hatchling, you won't have an extensive move set, but as your dinosaur ages, you'll unlock the ability to gain new abilities.

Aging is important if you want to unlock everything your dinosaur has to offer. You'll need to gain growth progress by completing quests to increase your dinosaur's age.

You Can Play Without PVP

PVP is an integral part of the Path of Titans experience; however, that doesn't mean you need to partake in it. If you want to experience the game without PVP, you can select the Singleplayer option from the main menu.

It may be best to learn the basics of Path of Titans before jumping on to multiplayer servers since it will give you a chance to understand the mechanics without as much stress.

Prioritize Defense Over Damage

Outside of the speed stats, there are a few other stats you need to know about. Overall, you can pick a dinosaur with whichever stats you desire, but it's best to prioritize Defense when you're new to Path of Titans since it'll help you survive against stronger enemies.

The Damage stat is also important, but you can't defeat anything if you die upon taking any damage, so it's easier to learn with higher Defense. The Recovery and Survivability stats are also more important for a new player than the Damage stat. Creating a well-balanced dinosaur is essential to your survival, but you should avoid prioritizing your offensive abilities at first.

Eat Strategically

Eating is a necessary part of keeping your dinosaur healthy. There are many ways to collect food, but even if there's an abundance of food to eat, that doesn't mean you need to eat all the time. There's actually a benefit to avoiding eating.

If you wait for a message to come onto your screen encouraging you to eat, then you'll gain 60 Marks, which are a currency in Path Of Titans. Additionally, you'll gain growth progress as well. In the end, you can eat whenever and wherever you want, but waiting until you see the message to eat will help you more in the long run. You should also apply this tip to drinking.
