Hinterland: Lets add cheat death to save long runs where players died due to bugs TLD community: Lets kill ourself 3x times at the start of the game to get the debuff
Haha i know the feeling, don't worry about it. The great thing about the game is that you can take your time and learn. No need to feel competitive or "bad" as long as you enjoy your time.
Very interesting idea, I appreciate your sharing the failures prior to the success. Enjoyed this, would love to see you play it out to the afflictions clear.
The Long Dark is probably my favorite game ever, and even though this video gave me the worst and most extreme form of anxiety ever, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it in the end. Seriously though, thanks for all the stellar content, Zak. You’re a mad man lol.
it would be very cool if the game had dark touch vision mechanic. When you touch an object in the dark, it appears vaguely black and white for some time while you stand next to it. Like, touching things giving you an idea of their boundaries,
you actually already have this ingame. When your cursor approaches something interactable, you get a dot on the screen. The closer you are to the thing, the whiter the dot.
1:40 Accidently used the birch bark as tinder. I really wish they'd code it to use the other tinder first by default. Makes for a lot of clicking and mistakes when you're distracted, like with selecting the right fuel source.
Other than "game mechanics" I've never liked the fact that you require a bedroll to sleep. Like, Hinterland has severely underestimated my ability to pass out anywhere.
Even if passing out on the raw ground comes with, say, less control over how long you sleep, reduced health regen or no bonus regen, youd think uou could at least do it....
@@nahoj.2569Sure, but on the other hand, there are still benches, bedding, and rugs in many buildings.

I’ve been on a major bushcraft and survival kick on RUclips, and people LITERALLY will just not sleep before they will do that. The heat loss is massive, and so dangerous. If it’s cold enough for the air to be a problem, the ground is actually an even bigger problem.
Love to see a continuation :) I've just started trying Interloper and it has not been great lol watching you survive circumstances like this is so wild to me!! But it has taught me so much about the game and genuinely helped me be a more successful player!
I totally agree! I always played pilgrim and voyager. Always hated predators. But after watching so many of Zak and others' videos I had the urge to try interloper. Yeah... So far 2 days has been my longest survival time :D
Zak makes interloper look like a breeze lol. I thought stalker was kinda tough with all of the wolves, I can only imagine how tough interloper and especially misery is.
It does say wood matches for just a few milliseconds right at 37:51. There and gone so quick. even in slow mow but there were definitely matches right there.
I like that you didn't cut the video with only a successful run like mayn other content creators. Failing in this game is way more thrilling and interesting to watch
"We don't have water"/ "Let's cross the waterfall", the game is infuriating sometimes. Double thermal right from the start while other run, you have to search the entire world to find your second. Losing your clothing and your can is quite a challenge, especially with only 25% max condition.
that one would be able to cook oats in a can would be really something that would be very useful (and realistic)! as well as the warmth buff from cooked water, like the teas, as I wrote probably 100 times - hallo Hinterland 👋😂
Imagine a somthing you could turn on and off like scurvy where your liquids go from hot off the fire to if your freezing outside your liquids freeze up
Regarding this challenge an interesting idea might be to do a pilgrimage of sort after fully recovering the 30 days and visiting every previous spawn point you...reshuffled, whilst leaving a small memento at each one.
Great video! This challenge is definitely hard, I don't think I'll be able to do it myself haha. Honestly though, I can't help but really enjoy the grayscale vision from cheating death. Imagine they added a Colorblind Mode or something similar as a difficulty modifer like Scurvy or the Cougar.
Totally enjoyed this one, Zak, even though it totally stessed me out and I even yelled at you a couple times. LOL. I'd definitely watch you finish the challenge.
I follow you since two years, maybe more. But in this run I could clearly see, that Mastering Misery, improved your playing skills. This run is insane.
I've never survived cheating death on loper - every time I come back, I spawn in a place with no matches, no can, no food or water, and everything around me has been picked clean already. Usually the health left, plus my distance from shelter means I die of the cold, or if I make it to shelter, I cant sleep because no food or water. I guess if you plan ahead and drop stuff everywhere around the map as a backup it'd be much more reliable.
Zak starting a new challenge... Also Zak within 1 min in the game: casually finding the one failure in the game hinterland doesn't even know existed: nah, that's not ash canyon 😳🫣😋
Great new game mode! It took me three goes until I managed to find a sustainable run. Currently on Day 3 in Coastal Highway with 10% health but with full meters. I wish I had your luck with matches, it would have made the run a lot easier!
19:40 I think it's implied that if you slept without insulation from the ground you would die of hypothermia, like how your survivor comments 'I'd eat snow if the hypothermia wouldn't kill me' (even if you can't actually eat snow in-game).
I guess you could have the survivor sleep anywhere, but sleeping on bare ground would give you a major penalty to warmth, like -10° or so. If you are wrapped in 2 bear coats and 2 sweaters, you should be able to crash on the floor of a cave.
@@enderofbarts yeah or on warm places, just to have a nap on the floor. I remember that I was thinking about that some weeks ago because stupid me forgot my bedroll 🙄
Tried this yesterday and it is going surprisingly good. It seems the key is you have to REALLY splurge on matches early on to keep your teas warm and be able to explore at all. I also got a lucky coastal highway spawn + thermos and am now in ML. Found two hacksaws on the way and just found a hammer in Trapper's. As I picked it up Astrid said "thank you". First time I get that line but I agree.
I eventually got to this point on stalker recently. Game spawned me in Blackrock. Somehow I managed to literally run past the Timberwolves and leave the map, but the cold and lower hp eventually got to me on the long path to the next zone. That and the lack of a can is brutal.
that's why i tend to leave minimal supplies like a can, firewood, matches in many places (like Cook's & prison) and have a good regional base at substation. helps out in a pinch like this.
This might sound kind of odd but depending on where you spawned in blackrock I'd say it's better to make a break for TWM over keepers pass. The transition zone is a cave and the exit in TWM is near enough to the exit to pleasant valley that you can crash at the abandoned bunker at the bottom of the rope. It's a bit of a hit or miss with wildlife spawns (especially considering the landing gear is now potential cougar territory) but it's far easier than keepers pass. Combined north and south are just so long and have so little shelter it's brutal.
I love how everyone is commenting the same thing I will, which is: Hinterland: "Here's a way to cheat death up to 3 times, we've removed permadeath" TLD fans: 'Aw damn, permadeath is gone?' TLD hardcore fans: 'Aw damn, only 3 waves of debuffs?'
That soda can very close to the peaches looked quite tasty :) there could be a snow shelter close to the entrance of the zone, but yeah getting there is likely not going to happen from where you started, and not always there but they do let you sleep, then likely not shelter enough to not freeze to death. It seems to me that the game now tends to spawn crazy amounts of one random item while not spawning some random item, took me like 30 days to even find the frying pan, in less than 7 days i had found 2 revolvers for instance, and i had been in fairly loot dense regions.
Hey Zak, there is normally a cooking pot by the abandoned campsite. It can be in 3 different locations in HRV though, so it may not have been helpful in this situation
I remember when i first saw TLD when my cousin played it and i then started to watch videos on the game, back then i used to not like your videos but now i do enjoy them A LOT, younger me was kinda dumb ngl.
@@nannakurzhaar YES! Also possible to fall off a train trestle. That's a long way down. Also, it is somehow possible to fall off of a rope and bleed to death. Go figure! LOL I think they call it, "I died from over confidence." 🤣
So, I just tried this and it took me several attempts before I didn't die from lack of a can. Had some very bad spawns where I wasn't near anything with a toilet for water, etc. Finally, I managed on my sixth or seventh try to find a can in the footwell of a car (YAY). I'm currently on day 17 of that spawn, doing pretty well, except I have not yet managed to find any pants. So I'm wandering around without pants. I look pretty stupid and my crotch keeps threatening to get frostbite. Heading through the dam now, going to keep fingers crossed that maybe I can find pants in the signal shack in PV, or maybe at the plane crash. My buttcheeks are icy. Wish me well.
Another great video Zak. Thank you. I'd very much like to see you complete the 30 days. I always enjoy the first month of an interloper run so with the extra debuff it adds a little something extra to the challenge. Out of interest, have you or anyone in the community heard or seen anything about the 'Recycled Can Recipes'? I always thought they were a nice idea but we're yet to see any in game. I'm hoping they add them with the update in December but was wondering if anyone had heard anything.
There could be a pot in HRV, you can go up from the river canyon using a fallen tree and nearby there should be a snow shelter and a fire with a possible pot on it.
2:09:11 Imagine if there were a "David" (and Goliath) mod, where stones could be used to stun deer, bear, moose etc. just like with rabbits. Then, you could pick them up like rabbits and [neck snap]. At the very least, it would be funny. :)

The irony of dying ftom dehydration as you run through a waterfall in a place called hushed river.

Right!!! But I love it🎉🎉🎉
"Let me know if you want to see ."

Yes, please. 😂
Sometimes I wonder how I can struggle on Voyageur!
same here

@@bananaboat1704 I really hope I will be better one time, at least I made it already some days on voyager! Didn't imagine that a year ago :)

I find it terrifying that Hinterland think SAFE is Blackrock 😱 Amazing game play!
Same devs who won't let you sleep unless it's in a bedroll instead you magically die of exhaustion after 6 years.
it would be very cool if the game had dark touch vision mechanic. When you touch an object in the dark, it appears vaguely black and white for some time while you stand next to it. Like, touching things giving you an idea of their boundaries,
That's such a cool idea. Would love to see it in a survival game.
you actually already have this ingame. When your cursor approaches something interactable, you get a dot on the screen. The closer you are to the thing, the whiter the dot.
not teally what theyre talking about @@dacianhantig7810
1:40 Accidently used the birch bark as tinder. I really wish they'd code it to use the other tinder first by default. Makes for a lot of clicking and mistakes when you're distracted, like with selecting the right fuel source.
Agree
birch bark should be default tinder.
@@winnsanity1243 Why? It has another purpose, unlike regular tinder
This and the default of grabbing a new torch or bow from your inventory instead of the ones with lowest condition.
Pain so much pain. Why on earth are tinder plugs not the default tinder? They literally have zero other uses unlike birch bark.
The happy intro music with the "Death Is Always Waiting" got me 😂😂
I like that all the runs have different music but I missed the main song a bit (what is stupid because it is on my playlist) it is just very nice!
A well thought out and a less than miserable challenge, this is. Take care and stay warm!
I applaud you Zak for the exquisite death dive in Bleak Inlet!
Other than "game mechanics" I've never liked the fact that you require a bedroll to sleep. Like, Hinterland has severely underestimated my ability to pass out anywhere.

It's almost as bad as wandering through a forest, hatchet in hand, but unable to find any firewood.
@@fractalgem Sleeping on the ground would kill you in a place like TLD.
You lose your heat through it.

Stalker actually has more wolves than Interloper, allegedly!
A refreshing change from normal interloper. Nice to see the goat struggle a bit 😂
On attempt 3 at 37:51 "wood matches" popped up beside the corpse. I was really hoping you would be able to find them again.
yes, i watched at slow speed to find them
It does say wood matches for just a few milliseconds right at 37:51. There and gone so quick. even in slow mow but there were definitely matches right there.
Great video, I also appreciate that you included the failures first!! Always learn a TON from you videos, thanks Zak!
Lmao the Coastal Highway C tier comment 😂
Greetings from Kristiansand :D You helped me progress on interloper, on 54 days atm! Thank you buddy ^^ I had almost given up on ever making it
I just joined your channel and there is no one that gives the best videos for long dark. Keep up the good work. Love your channel.
I like that you didn't cut the video with only a successful run like mayn other content creators. Failing in this game is way more thrilling and interesting to watch
I love to see you continue this till the affliction is gone.

We have no bedroll... it's time to pass away xDDD
I swear even if I played Interloper I would end up with 100lbs of gear and struggling to figure out what to drop 😂
You crazy man.. lol this gonna be good.
Enjoyed that more than I expected. Thanks for doing it!

Ohh i like this idea
Good job, was fun! Id watch if you continued and it would be a great holdover till 500 days continues.
Love the flåklypa references❤ (Im from Norway)
Haven't played this game since April of 23'... but still watch all your videos. So relaxing.
Best new series lol. I mean the first try is brutal. It's too bad you couldn't drink from the waterfall. Valiant effort indeed.
Hello, good run, i liked to see the next 27 days of this run. thx

Really enjoyed this, more please.😊
This was great fun to watch!

How you know someone's an Interloper player. "-8 degrees? Tropical." lmao

was there a little crow meat in that cabinet he was nibbling on ? ? ? 🤫
When chat death first came out I thought it would be a stupid idea. But after trying it I think it really adds challenge to the game.
Nice video👍🏾
man interloper is brutal in the lack of supplies
Okay I can see why Astrid is vastly the more popular LOL not even 10min in and I cannot deal with the grunting, I gotta give this one a miss XD

Blind survivor simulation.
Second run was epic
Holy smoke, I totally remember that movie from when I was a kid. I watched it on HBO in America in the 80’s
Zak’s ideal of tropical…-8 degrees. 😂
As many people said below, I would like to see this journey. Cheers!
long dark videos really make me wish youtube didn't make videos darker cus alot of interloper vids i love to watch end up like 60% pitch black
Almost thought you made a big mistake when you ate that 30 something percent sardines! But yes, please continue this one!
6:50
Good luck, Zak
So, I just tried this and it took me several attempts before I didn't die from lack of a can. Had some very bad spawns where I wasn't near anything with a toilet for water, etc.
Finally, I managed on my sixth or seventh try to find a can in the footwell of a car (YAY). I'm currently on day 17 of that spawn, doing pretty well, except I have not yet managed to find any pants. So I'm wandering around without pants. I look pretty stupid and my crotch keeps threatening to get frostbite. Heading through the dam now, going to keep fingers crossed that maybe I can find pants in the signal shack in PV, or maybe at the plane crash. My buttcheeks are icy. Wish me well.
Snow shelter is about the only bed in HRV outside of the bunker... Could've torn up all yer clothes for a sleep. ;)
were there enough clothes? And I think w/o water, it wouldn't help much. But I'm not an interloper player so it's just a guess
I believe he was totally without clothing at the start after the 3rd death.

"Death is patient. He will wait."
So, this is how Interloper used to be: one life, struggling in the first 50 days.
There could be a pot in HRV, you can go up from the river canyon using a fallen tree and nearby there should be a snow shelter and a fire with a possible pot on it.
Very nice!
I would like to see next 25 days :)
