The Prehistory Chapter of Live A Live is one of the hardest for a simple reason — you won’t get useful items on your own. Your caveman Pogo will have to combine materials to make better weapons and armor. Without those upgrades, some of the boss battles become incredibly difficult. Even just trying to grind enemies as Pogo and pal becomes increasingly tough without better equipment. And the crafting NPC can be missed if you’re not exploring everywhere.
Just so you don’t waste your resources, here’s a full list of every crafting recipe in the Prehistory Chapter. For hunting beasts you’ll collect materials — by talking to a special NPC, you can combine those materials. You may need to craft sub-materials too. Yes, this simple chapter gets surprisingly complicated. We’ll also share the very best recipes you need to focus on. Scroll down to see what weapons and armor you need to create first before using up your valuable items on crappy crafted items.
