Hidden skills to survive thirst and hunger while on The Dusty Path? Acquired through dying?

The answer to the thirst thing is:

  • Stock up on cured meat (10, at least, so you have enough time to die of thirst, not hunger)
  • While on A Dusty Path, die of dehydration(thirst) ten times.

When you die, you get a notification saying:

"learned to love the dry air."

The answer to the hunger thing is:

  • Stock up on 1 cured meat
  • Go for walksies. Walk until "The meat has run out." Walk until "starvation sets in". Walk until "the world fades." Repeat 10 times.

When you die, you'll get a notification saying:

"learned how to ignore the hunger.".
