Soulmask is an indie survival game that is all about figuring out how to survive in a world that the player character has been thrown into after experiencing a horrific sacrificial ritual. They will need to quickly learn how to survive and thrive in their new environment.

While surviving, players will need to increase specific stats to make it easier. For example, the Stealth Stat will allow players to sneak around the map, avoiding any enemies that may be too difficult to take on. Here's what the Awareness Strength Stat is and how to increase it.

What Is Awareness Strength?

Soulmask - Awareness Strength

Awareness Strength is basically the player character's strength. The in-game description reads, "How powerful you are. You can gain Awareness Strength EXP through combat or work and view the progress on the bottom of the HUD. A sufficient strong awareness can help you restore more Mask Nodes as well as learn more knowledge and technology."

Therefore, the higher a player's Awareness Strength is, the more they will be able to do. This will unlock new technology and knowledge, allowing players to craft and build more things. Considering crafting better armor and weapons is vital to the game, this is an important number to keep track of. Once their Awareness Strength is strong enough, players can control and recruit Tribesmen just by using their mask.

How To Increase Awareness Strength

Increasing Awareness Strength is actually a lot easier than it seems. The truth is, anything that players do can raise this number up. Whether they are collecting resources, harvesting plants, killing enemies, or just exploring the world around them, chances are that they will be able to increase this pretty quickly. The truth is, just playing the game will naturally level Strength Awareness up.

Console commands make everything easier in Soulmask. Here are all of them and how to make them work.

While most things can increase this, there are a few things that players can do to grind levels for their Strength Awareness. These things are:

  • Kill higher-level enemies (Tribe Chiefs, Temple Guardians, etc.)
  • Craft the highest level items available whenever possible.
  • Look for areas that have large amounts of resources (clay and copper are the best) and just collect everything available.

The easiest way to earn Strength Awareness is by doing it passively. Once it gets high enough, players can have their Tribesmen create things without them present. The more items that are made, the more experience players will receive without having to do anything.
