What to do in the first few minutes
Search the arrival and monorail area before wandering deeper into the park. Community notes and a recorded co-op run both point players toward a nearby shelter for the card needed to move through the main gate. Pick up readable notes and check interaction prompts because important objects are not always visually obvious.
Prepare for the Museum route
The early Museum path uses two separate items: a key that lets you enter and a missing fossil used inside. The walkthrough evidence places the Museum key around the Staff Center route and the fossil in a restroom building near the main square. Treat those landmarks as demo guidance, not a promise that every patch keeps the same spawn.
How to avoid losing your route
Keep a short mental chain: entrance card, Museum key, fossil, Museum interaction, then the southern route. If an item is absent, re-check the current objective text and nearby interaction prompts before assuming the save is broken. Location reports changed during development, so current in-game cues outrank old lists.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I go first in Clawed?
Search the shelter near the arrival area for the access card used on the main park route.
Why can I not progress after entering the park?
The common early blockers are the Museum key and the missing fossil. They are separate items found before the Museum puzzle is completed.
Are these locations from the full release?
The route is supported mainly by demo discussions and recorded gameplay. Check current objective text because item placements can change after updates.
