Long ago, before the age of stone we know so well, was the world caught up in an Ice Age that left everything covered with a freezing frost? Was it instead an age of fire, with twisting rivers of lava coursing like veins through the barren land? Or…was it something completely different?
StoneAge 2 takes us back to an age when humans lived alongside the realm of spirits, and walked in the shadows of towering dinosaurs. Using the power of the spirits, humans learned how to predict the weather, be forewarned of danger, and call mighty dinosaurs to be their allies. There are even those who took dinosaurs as pets, raising them in their own homes as family.
In time, some dinosaurs learned how to understand human speech and express their own feelings in words. No sooner had they learned how to talk than they became as chatty as any human, sending secret messages to their owners from time to time.
Although humans banded together to create a better lifestyle, nature remains a savage force, unleashing its power through storms, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. These natural forces shaped the terrain, altering the layouts of dungeons and turning vast fields into arid desert scrubland. But when a great number of people gather in the same place, they can exert their force on nature, changing barren wastes into fields of flowers and even sometimes receiving strange gifts sent down from the sky.
Within the wide world, it is known that each person has a destined partner, bound soul-to-soul by the power of the Stone of Fate. Those who discover the Stone of Fate will see their future partner on their map, and when they find their partner, the Stone will grant them a new power, enabling them to gather more strong allies and battle harsher foes.
This is an ancient world of stone and legend, where around blazing fires, tales are told of phantom flowers that never blossom, places where the moon never waxes, and a legendary treasure guarded by a fearsome pterosaur.
What adventures await beyond the rainbow on the horizon, unfurling in the soft blue sky after the raging storm has passed? Crawl out of that cave, find your destined partner, sharpen your flint spear, and head out on a new adventure in a world where dinosaurs are still king

Where Do I Get Food?
Most foods can be bought from the Merchant located outdoors near the town square in each village. They’ll have a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other foods on-hand, with different foods being offered in each village. To buy meat (or sell meat you’ve received from defeated enemies), go to the Butcher’s Shop, available in most towns. Prices and selection will vary.
However, if you just bought ALL the time, that’d end up costing a good bit of money, so why not take a shot at the hunter-gatherers’ way? Nature can provide for the food-related needs of you and your Pals!
Meat: Meat is one of the easiest foods to obtain in Stone Age 2. You can get it to drop as an item after many fights. Meat comes in many types – drumsticks, meat on the bone, and big dino-steaks! Meat will restore a lot of HP when you use it, so you’ll often use it to heal yourself. Although many of the starting Pals prefer the vegetarian way, some of them also enjoy smaller meat, like the drumstick types.
Fish: You can get fish by using a fishing rod wherever fishing rods are usable, such as in the village pond of Harbol. The type of bait you use can influence which type of fish you catch most. Also, you can often find fish washed up when you walk along the seashore.
Fruits: Fruits aren’t found as commonly in the wild, but they can still be found if you know where to look. The town of Seafa has trees that produce many oranges, a tasty treat for your fruit-loving Pals! Sometimes wild pals like the Sron will drop a strawberry when defeated in battle.
Grass: You can find some types of grass washed up on the beaches. Other types of grass are dropped by enemies, such as those in the Nazuth Rocks cave.
Item Management
The item menu can be a bit confusing at first, but never fear – here’s how it works. When you open up your item menu, you can see four different tabs: one for food, one for items you can equip on your character (like weapons and armor), one for materials you can use in crafting, and one for miscellaneous items, like those you get for quests. The important things to remember is that you start with 40 spaces in your inventory, but each section shares that inventory space. So you could have 40 pieces of food but not be able to carry anything else, or you could have 10 items in each category – any combination of the four categories up to that total of 40 items. If you start not being able to pick up items after battles, check your inventory tabs – chances are, you picked up some unexpected things over time, and they’re sitting in your inventory collecting dust. Keep an eye on what you’re toting around with you and you shouldn’t have any trouble!
If you find you have too much stuff and you just don’t want to use or lose any of it yet, your den has a storage bin that you can use to hold 16 items, with larger sizes purchasable from your “Den Items” menu.
How to Feed Your Pals
Pals love to eat, and a well-fed Pal will perform better in battle, and even be more loving to you and your other Pals at home in your Den. But how do you feed Pals? It’s simple!
While you’re out and about and you have Pals with you, open the Pal menu from the main menu (which you can open by hitting the sun button in the upper left corner). Near the bottom-right of the Pal window, you should see your Pal sitting there, waiting for any food or attention you might like to give it. Now, open your Item menu from the main menu. Click and hold on the food you want to feed your Pal and drag it into the other window, then release the mouse button. You can also feed Pals (and yourself) by simply clicking on a piece of food and dragging it to the party bar with their name and picture.
When in battle, have your character choose “Item,” then select the food you’d like to use, and the Pal you’d like to feed it to, and on your turn, you’ll toss them the food, which will restore some of their Endurance (HP) and Guts (MP).
When in your Den, you can release Pals to run around inside with the “Release to Wild” command (but only do this when you’re in the Den). When Pals are running around inside your Den, all you have to do is drag the food items from your Item menu and drop them on the floor of your den! Hungry Pals will eat what looks good to them. But do keep an eye on them, to make sure some of the greedier Pals don’t eat the food you’ve been saving for your other Pals to eat. Sometimes, it’s best to feed them in smaller groups, arranged by the type of food they like to eat. That way, you know all of your Pals will get to eat foods they like!
The Den Management Menu
When you’re relaxing in your den, take a look at the top-right of your screen. You’ll see a row of five buttons – these are your den options, and they’ll help make your home life easier, let you shop for the finest in den decorations, and help you keep tabs on your Pal friends! Here’s what you can do:
Pal Picture Book – The first button lets you view “snapshots” of the Pals you have in your den and store them for handy reference. You can take snapshots by right-clicking a Pal and choosing the option on the right. Snapshots you store record the elemental mix, stats, and other details on a pal at the time and level they were taken. You can chart how your scaly and furry friends are progressing over time!
Pal List – The second button is the Pal List, which lets you keep tabs on the Pals you currently have released in your den. From here, you can check to see if they’re tired or hungry, so you’ll know just when to feed them and let them rest. A well-loved Pal is a happy Pal!
Album – The third button is your Album, where you can collect and organize all your Stone Age images and screenshots! You can add screenshots from your hard drive, organize your pictures by categories, and send your favorites to your friends!
Diary – What did you do today? Did you discover fire? Catch a new species of Pal for the first time? Go on a shopping spree for accessories? Witness the birth of a baby Pal right in your very own den? Whatever it is, be sure to chart it in your diary, which you can open by pressing the fourth button. You can look back on it and relive your many adventures – just like making history!
Den – Want to turn that rocky room into something a little more like home? Do just that with the fifth button, the Den button. This option allows you to buy furniture and accessories to customize your den! With everything from storage bins to Pal food dishes to punching bags, the Den shop can add fun and variety to your living space. You can also use this button to sell off den items you don’t want anymore, and move items you’d like to relocate in your den.
