Locations

SPOILER ALERT! Ancestors is best experienced with the least knowledge possible. A lot of the fun while playing the game comes from learning gameplay mechanics. Try to use our FAQ or ask your questions on Discord before reading this page.

This page is the main article about locations and contains a list of locations in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

Landmarks - Oases

Oases are prime locations for settlements. All of them contain at least one food source, with a guaranteed water source. An oasis can be identified by the presence of 2-4 circles of sky blue colored flowers, marking locations for beds. There are a total of 36 oasis locations scattered across the various biomes.
