How to Increase Your Stamina in Tchia

Stamina is key to getting places in Tchia, and players will need to search for stamina upgrades throughout the game to help Tchia get where she needs to go. Whether it’s scaling coastal cliffsides or soaring over the game’s New Caledonia-inspired islands, traveling and exploration in Tchia require stamina, and unfortunately for players, Tchia doesn’t start out with a lot. However, with some effort, players can ensure that Tchia has more than enough stamina to explore.

When players first start exploring Tchia’s beautiful island vistas, they’ll quickly find themselves bumping up against Tchia’s limited stamina meter. Tchia will typically have enough stamina for basic tasks such as diving for pearls or gliding short distances on her glider, but players might still get perilously close to passing out. However, stamina upgrades are available as early as the opening chapter, and all players need to do is find them.

How To Upgrade Stamina In Tchia

To upgrade Tchia’s stamina, players must find and consume Stamina Fruit. These are special magic fruit found all over the islands, and Tchia can pick them up and consume them to upgrade her stamina meter. According to the map, there are 58 Stamina Fruit to be found, so players will likely be able to find a few in most areas they’ll visit throughout the game. They look like giant glowing mangoes and tend to stick out from the surrounding environment, making them easy to spot.

Players can find Stamina Fruit, which adds one extra point to Tchia’s stamina meter, and rarer Large Stamina Fruit, which adds three extra points. As such, each Stamina Fruit is a relatively minor upgrade, and players might not see much difference when traveling around to visit Tchia’s Drehu-speaking locals. However, it all adds up in the end.

How To Find Stamina Fruit In Tchia

The key to finding Stamina Fruit is careful exploration. One solid strategy is to search any natural landmarks, such as the heart-shaped swamp of Hnora on Ija Nöj, that Tchia comes across during her travels. Peninsulas, isolated islands, and mountaintops are all great places to start looking. Some town and village centers may also have Stamina Fruit.

Players should also use Points of View, as Tchia’s father shows them in the game’s opening chapter. Tchia can shout from Points of View, revealing all nearby collectibles, including Stamina Fruit. Beelining straight for any nearby Points of View is a great way to reveal nearby Stamina Fruit, which makes collecting them much easier.

Stamina Fruit are a nice nod to Tchia’s original inspirations, and players should seek them out to help the game’s plucky young protagonist on her adventures.
