If your Cold Res is completely reduced, you will begin to take Health damage from the frigid conditions.

If your Cold Res is low, it will affect your ability to aim with Bows.

You can upgrade your clothing to increase your Cold Res. Some enemies can also reduce your Cold Res with certain attacks. Swimming in icy water and being out in the open in high winds will reduce your Cold Res, and it reduces over time anyway when you are away from a source of heat. – You maintain your Cold Resistance by standing near sources of heat, which will usually be campfires but can also be lit torches or braziers. Your Exhaustion Res is depleted whilst performing exhausting actions such as Sprinting, Jumping and using the Sail Cloth. Exhaustion Res dictates the wait time before your Stamina begins to regenerate. – You maintain your Exhaustion Resistance by sleeping on bed rolls, by either using ones found in the environment at camps or by using a Bed Roll item. Your Stamina Regeneration will be faster the fuller your Hunger Res. – You maintain your Hunger Resistance by eating various items that you can collect or gather in the environment, the best items for regaining your Hunger Res is cooked animal meat. All of these should be fairly self-explanatory: Other than your Health and Stamina, you also have three other “needs” to take note of, your Hunger Res, Exhaustion Res and Cold Res.

Whilst having + icons there indicates a decrease to the amount of wait time before your Stamina begins to regenerate. Small arrow icons next to the Health and Stamina gauges indicate a boost to your rate of Stamina Regeneration. Depending on your Resistances which are covered in the next section, you may receive various bonuses to your Stamina Regeneration wait and rate. Your Stamina usage rate and regeneration is also affected by how full your hunger and sleep gauges are. Your Stamina is represented by the white circle around the Health gauge, and will deplete when you are either climbing, sprinting or using the Sail Cloth. If it is depleted fully, you will die and restart from the last Auto Save or Manual Save. Your Health is represented with the red circle that follows your character around, which will lower as you take damage. Two of the most important things to be aware of whilst playing the game is your character’s Health and Stamina gauges. – On higher difficulties you will drown when running out of stamina whilst swimming – The amount of damage taken whilst ragdolled – The amount of damage done by enemies is increased/decreased
