In Green Hell, you get clean water by collecting rainwater, boiling dirty water, or using water structures like the Water Collector and Water Filter. Drinking directly from rivers or lakes is unsafe and causes parasites, so you must purify or safely collect water to survive.
Below is a complete and easy guide, explained step by step, from early game to late game.
Early Game Ways to Get Clean Water (Fast & Simple)
These methods help you survive in the first few days.
1. Collect Rainwater (Safest Early Method)
Rainwater is always clean and safe.
How it works:
- Find a coconut shell, coconut bowl, or turtle shell
- Place it on the ground
- Wait for rain
When it rains, the container fills with drinkable water.
Why this is good:
- No parasites
- No fire needed
- Perfect for early survival
Limit:
- Works only during rain
- Small storage capacity
2. Boil Dirty Water (Reliable Early Solution)
Boiling removes parasites from dirty water.
Steps:
- Collect dirty water from a river or pond using a coconut shell or bowl
- Light a fire
- Place the container on the fire (white circle slot)
- Wait until it boils
Once boiled, the water becomes clean and safe to drink.
Why this is useful:
- Works anytime
- Doesn’t depend on rain
Limit:
- Requires fire
- Takes time
3. Drinking from Caves & Waterfalls (Emergency Option)
Some players drink water from:
- Waterfalls
- Water inside caves
These sources have a lower chance of parasites, but they are not fully safe.
Use this only if:
- You are desperate
- You have parasite cures ready
4. Cure Parasites if You Drink Unsafe Water
If you drink dirty water, you may get parasites.
To cure parasites:
- Eat orange-cap mushrooms
- Usually found near water sources
This does not give clean water, but it helps you recover if you make a mistake.
Mid to Late Game Water Solutions (Best for Long-Term Survival)
These methods are stable and efficient.
5. Water Collector (Passive Clean Water)
The Water Collector gathers clean water automatically.
How it works:
- Built using long sticks, rope, and banana leaves or bamboo
- Slowly collects water from rain and humidity
- Water is always safe to drink
Why this is great:
- No parasites
- No boiling
- Works passively
Best use:
- Base camps
- Long survival runs
6. Water Filter (Turns Dirty Water into Clean Water)
The Water Filter purifies dirty water.
How it works:
- Pour dirty water into the filter
- The filter cleans it
- You collect safe drinking water
Important notes:
- Requires charcoal
- Charcoal is made by burning wood in a fire
- Blueprints are found in locations like the drug factory
Why this is powerful:
- Unlimited clean water
- Works even without rain
7. Coconut Bidon (Carry Water Safely)
The Coconut Bidon lets you store and carry water.
How to use:
- Craft it using a coconut and rope
- Fill it with clean water from: Boiled water, Water Collector, Water Filter
Why it matters:
- Prevents dehydration during exploration
- Essential for long trips
Best Method Summary (Quick Help)
- Fastest early game: Rainwater using coconut shells
- Anytime solution: Boil dirty water
- Best long-term setup: Water Collector + Water Filter
- Never recommended: Drinking directly from rivers or lakes
Final Tip
Always plan water before exploring.
Clean water keeps your hydration, sanity, and health stable, which makes survival much easier in Green Hell.
