7. FOODS

[Note: Nearly all medium stamina increase notes are guesstimates but are
around that area]

RECTICLATED PYTHON
This is perhaps one of the first foods in the game you will try out. Save for the mushrooms if you're interested in them. I believe these provide medium stamina increase. You will find these in great supply during the game. It is also easily killed with a knife and won't attack you if you trail behind it crawling.

SIBERIAN INK CAP
Truthfully all the mushroom's somewhat looked the same so I could not tell the difference visually between this and the mushroom below. But I believe it to also provide low to medium stamina increase with how Snake reacted.

RUSSIAN OYSTER MUSHROOM
One of these can be found nearly five feet away from where you begin your journey. This along with the ink cap can easily be taken out with a knife. Provides low to medium stamina increase.

RUSSIAN FALSE MANGO
Usually you can find about five of these in the entire demo. You will notice it when you see one lying on the ground [which you cannot pick up]. To get it out of the tree you can shoot it with any weapon. Although one of them can be cut standing up with the survival knife. I recommend this course of action. Medium stamina increase.

APPLE
On Dremuchij North you will see two apples in the trees above the heads of the two guards guarding that area. For these you must shoot them down, I recommend using the hush puppy. Although they will notice the apple falling anyways but won't take immediate action if you stay hidden. Stamina increase unknown put perhaps the same as the mushrooms.

GIANT ANACONDA
As far the demo was concerned the Giant Anaconda had little difference to the Python. It can somewhat be seen though with its brown patchs and wider girth [...snake joke]. High stamina increase.

TREE FROG
Out of all the animals in the demo the tree frog was in greatest supply and was nearly hardest to catch. These are so small that they blend in very well with their environment. With one swipe of the knife you can have oddly medium stamina increase.

INDIAN GAVIAL
Each time you kill an alligator (I used the shotgun) you will receive three Indian gavial meals. You cannot put the alligator to sleep and receive a caged alligator so watch out with that. These provide medium to high stamina increase.

HORNET'S NEST
Surprisingly the hornet's next provided the highest stamina increase due to the bar's increase and Snake's great reaction. I do not know Japanese but it was very enthusiastic. Watch out with the trailing bees however, but all you have to do is run past the mud and they'll run away.

MAGPIE
Quite possibly one of the least known foods of the demo along with the apple. The magpie is a bird that can be caught somewhere in Dremuchij South. I'll provide directions later. This bird provides medium stamina increase.

RAT
You can only find the Rat under Rassvet by crawling. It is most easily taken out either by knife if you get it in a corner or the MK-22 Hush Puppy. The M19 will attract too much attention. Unknown stamina.

NOTE: There is also a scorpion and other possible edible creatures in the trailer.
