Note: 

• There is a known issue when restarting too many times where the player will get slower faster
  • Slowing down is an effect of the game, it is radiation
• The way to go is up the small hill then down into the open clearing and up the mountain
• The rocks and sticks are to be taken to the little circular pad in the starting zone
