In Green Hell, you can craft bone armor early once you start hunting and bones drop reliably from animal corpses and tribesmen. Bone armor offers a pragmatic shield against everyday threats, especially in the early hours when metal is still a distant luxury.
Materials required for bone armor
You must craft armor per limb, so repeat the recipe for arms and legs as needed. Here are the materials required for bone armor:
- Bones - x3
- Rope - x2
- Banana Leaves - x1
How to craft bone armor
Step 1: Gather bones
Hunt animals such as peccaries or tapirs, or locate abandoned tribal remains.
Harvest bones using a blade.
Make sure you get 3 bones.
Step 2: Craft rope from liana
Cut down a liana vine.
Convert it into rope from the crafting interface. Each vine yields one rope.
Step 3: Collect banana leaves
Locate banana plants—common near riverbanks.
Chop them down and collect them.
Then harvest a single large leaf.
Step 4: Open the crafting interface
Place the materials either on the ground or on a crafting table to open the crafting grid.
Step 5: Assemble the armor piece
Combine 3 bones + 2 rope + 1 banana leaf.
The result is a single piece of bone armor.
Step 6: Equip the armor
Open the backpack, drag the armor piece onto the corresponding limb slot (arm or leg).
Bone armor protects well enough against scratches, bites, and glancing blows, but prolonged combat or hostile encounters will degrade it quickly. You should replace bone armor once durability drops below half, or before venturing into combat-heavy areas such as tribal territories or dense predator zones.
