Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey

Whenever you venture as an adult into an area you haven't previously explored, your sense of fear will be heightened. The screen turns gray, and scary eyes and sounds appear all around you. If you turn around and look behind you, you'll see a light blue orb that represents your known surroundings. If you go back to it, your game will go back to normal.

Note that I wrote, "as an adult." Children can't conquer their fears, and elders aren't afraid of the unknown.

To conquer your fears, instead of returning to the light blue orb, look out into the unknown. Use your intelligence to identify things around you. Use your senses also, especially your sense of smell. As you do, look at the lower left of the HUD. You'll see a circle with a white disc in it. The more things you identify, the larger the disc gets and the more it fills the circle. When it entirely fills the circle, the display will say "Surroundings Rationalized." Now look ahead and in the distance for a white or light gray orb. (The light blue orb is still behind you, but that's not it.) If you don't see it, move forward, around, or up until you do. Now just go to it. If you still don't see it, simply walk forward, keeping the light blue orb at your back. When you get to the white orb, you'll be prompted to hold to conquer your fears. Ooo-ooo aaa-aaa!

Now do that again four more times.
