Once you spawn, use your map to navigate south to the beach and avoid any enemies on the way. Flint will naturally appear much larger than you may expect due to your small size, it will be black and smooth and will poke out of the sand of the beach, near the sea.
You'll need to equip a Mandibular Pickaxe to harvest the Flint. To make a Mandibular Pickaxe, bring the following ingredients to a workbench and craft one:
- One Bull Ant Mandible
- Resin x5
- Wood x5
- Fiber x5
All of these materials are relatively simple to gather, the most difficult will most likely be the Bull Ant Mandible which will require you to defeat a Bull Ant to gather. Bull Ants can be found in the mines near Kalev.
