Quick answer
Wolves, bears and tigers are confirmed wilderness threats in Echoes of Teradea. Natsume says players must evade and escape them; getting caught makes the player lose collected items and return to the farm.
Confirmed facts
- Confirmed threats include wolves, bears and tigers.
- The intended response is to evade or escape wild animals.
- Getting caught causes collected-item loss.
- After being caught, the player returns to the farm.
- Combat, health values and exact item-loss rules have not been announced.
What players should know
This is a meaningful exploration penalty, so planning a route back to storage may matter after a long gathering trip. The official announcement does not establish whether every carried item can be lost, whether tools are protected, or whether animal companions can prevent the penalty. Those details must wait for verified gameplay.
Still to verify
- Which inventory categories can be lost
- Whether the penalty changes by difficulty or region
- Wild-animal spawn times and locations
- Escape tools, companion effects and safe zones
