- What do you do in the late game? Look no further - here is the top 10 tips on how to survive in the late game, and some suggestions on what to do with your time.
UPDATE: Due to copyright claims, I had to cut the Mountaineer's Hut commercial break with Barbegue between tip #6 and #7 in the video, causing a slight jump. This is regretable, but unfortunately the music in the background caused a copyright claim. You can find the unedited clip of barbegue and his cafe in his clips collection here:

The maglens working more often during dawn and wolves fleeing from wolf coats are mechanics not fully tested. It appears to be a thing, but I cannot say to what degree.

Editing and content disclaimers:
- All clips are used with permission from the respective streamers. A preview was shown in late March.
- The "Western Cave" in HRV in Tip #1 refers to the cave near the western bear cave, between the rope climb to Monolith Lake and Offset Falls. Sorry if this is confusing - HRV is often hard to describe due to lack of landmarks and names. Ultimately, it's just a suggestion for a base - choose whatever is best for you.
- Helgadhar deliberately got stomped just for this video. She spent about an hour of her stream getting to TWM and finding a moose... and then accidentally killed it. She got stomped on the second attempt. Thanks for the dedication, Helga!
- The footage of TheDeadP00l talking is not from his No Fire Challenge - he is just talking about it during the NOGOA challenge. No Fire is a brutal challenge because you will eventually die without a fire and it's just a question of how long you can survive.
- Technically, there are 4 spawns of the Mag Lens in Mystery Lake, but two of them are in the Camp Office (upstairs or downstairs).
- SharDul's clip is now close to two years old. In the clip, he does not click on the carcass to get his arrows back. I am honestly not entirely sure if this was a mechanic that was added later (I think it was), so I am not sure if he did receive those arrows back or not. I watched this stream and vaguely remember him returning to the spot later and finding the arrows on the ground, but I could be wrong.
- Making a mistake can cost you your run, but a moose stomp usually won't kill you. This is why rand_althor1966 forgetting to reload the flare gun is just "a mistake" (as opposed to a "serious mistake"). Even on interloper, two moose stomps won't kill you if you are at full health.
- The clip of Mendingthecoffeecup is on Voyager. This is why I narrate "regardless of difficulty". The footage is otherwise unedited - the wolf really did sneak up on him without making a sound.
- The clip of Kimiota and his fishing base is from his As The Dead Sleep 500 Days challenge, and not interloper. If anything, this makes it more impressive.

![Reviewing Old Long Dark Tips [30K SUB SPECIAL]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Rg93omGt5CY/mqdefault.jpg)
"You will die, the game will kill you. It's offended, by the attempt." - Tomasina love that
It's really touching and heartwarming when at the end that youtuber says "I love this game. It makes me happy. I can go back to this game at any given moment and have a good time playing it."
God, the "Don't be risky and pay extreme attention" tip reminded me of my possibly dumbest death possible, stalker, day probably 300ish, went finally to the cannery to get some bullets remade and as you know, there are a lot of canned sardines in the boxes there, so I nomed on some of those, got food poisoning, no big deal right, just rest and you will be right as rain, now you know there is a thing that Long Dark does when something is wrong with your health, it does put a little exclamation mark next to your condition to tell you "Hey dummy, something is wrong, take a look", I had food poisoning before so I knew what to do and how to survive it, had the food, water with me, it was fine, then that night I got the aurora lights, went in the workshop all happy and chummy and got jumped by Fluffy 2.0 in there, Fluffy took a big chunk out of my right arm and it was bleeding, now you know about the thing that Long Dark does when something is wrong with your health... I thought I had food poisoning, but was actually bleeding heavily as I confidently laid down my sleeping bag, fell asleep and promptly bled out by the ammunition workbench.
Yeah. Sounds familiar with my own dumb death. Was well prepared with water food, clothing etc, and want to explore ash canyon, wich I don’t know very good.
Wasn’t patient enough to wait for full health, and explored it with 33% of health. Was to stingy to use a match for a torch and a wolf ended my run. So unnecessary…
Rule #2 always check health condition and clothing after a brawl
I've just discovered you and I love the way you show other streamer's clips, I really think that The Long Dark has the warmest community ever, you got a new sub buddy, keep on it :)
Thank you so much! I try to use streamer clips whenever possible and as varied as possible, as long as it suits the content. All streamers are asked in advance for permission as well - so far everyone I have asked have given permission and free reigns to me. It is a fantastic community worth promoting
Ironic to be the warmest community. 😂 I’ve noticed it quite a bit though!
I mean they’d freeze if they don’t keep warm
Feel exactly the same way
The community is so warm because it is made of OLD PEOPLE. This game is too boring for school kids🤣
7:30 I like to crouch, listen and count to 10. Wolves like to announce their presence. Wolves won't detect you when crouched until they get danger close.
Atheenon has his own way to keep away the cabin fever!
Caves?
Ah the long game... its so hard to stay focused on anything BUT keeping your sanity!
And there is a voice inside your head saying 'Now what?' MAN I wish! I've never made it to a point in Interlope where I could even give a single thought that wasn't 'Need more matches!' or 'I'm down to my last food item!'
The first two days you just need to run. Run as fast as you can to loot the main places and if you are close, get to Mystery Lake as fast as possible. There is almost always a magnifying glass there in camp office and also tons of rabbits or catstalks to collect, so you can survive the first few days.
And when you are stable enough and gathered enough food and clothing to not freeze immediatly, you can easily get to the forge in Forlorn Muskeg to get some arrow heads so you can craft yourself a bow and go deer hunting. After that you basically made it and from then on just need to not do any stupid mistakes that get you killed. Craft rabbit earmuffs, gloves and deerskin shoes and pants. If you dare, get a bearskin bedroll. Then you dont need to worry about cabin fever anymore.
On my longest Interloper run I started on Timberwolf Mountain. Luckily I was near the mountaineers hut, found matches and killed some rabbits. Cooked a ton of water, got some food, slept and went down to Pleasant valley after a night. Almost died there because of food and cold. Looted the common places and ran to Mystery Lake. Found a magnifying lens there. From then on it was not so hard anymore. You just need a ton of luck in the beginning.
I wish I could save that last pistol bullet. But like old pacman, at some point you do die. You are out of cloth or more likely metal, and you've just eaten your last possible meal.
@@realglutenfree
Actually you're best off saving hunting for later. The spawned food has a limited life. Use them to gather resources into strategic locations. Same with clothes. Limited life even just sitting there.
@@icecold9511 yes and no. spawned food will be ruined in time, but you can still eat it safely with level 5 cooking
14:06 hinterland forgot to add a stat to cabin fever, it slowly drives you insane
I can verify that Dawn has a 80% chance of being sunny for the mag lens. I’ve been habitually fishing for ~70 days and I’m not going to waste a single match to stay warm and cook
This game has done for my anxiety what Dark Souls did for my depression and I never miss a chance to recommend this game to anyone who even wants to dip their toes in survival games. I never thought I'd have a survival game in my top 5 (even Minecraft only hovers at a comfy 8 for me), but The Long Dark has itself colored in full. The atmosphere, the gameplay loop, the risk reward in exploration, the sense of isolation and self reliance, the curiosity, the challenge (especially on higher difficulties), the way the game makes the day to day struggle feel so authentic and immersive. It's about as near perfect as you can get with a game.
Zemalf has the eyesight of a hawk! Really well put together video - good job!
Great video! For sure a benefit for TLD players on interloper. Thanks for the time into the editing and all the knowledge in the video!
I just recently discovered this game after being a very hardcore DayZ pvp base building and defense tryhard this game was a good change of pace for me it was fun to be able to start a fire to avoid freezing to death without worrying about someone in the treeline 100 meters away sniping me
A friend of mine from work recommended this game to me about a month ago. I'm on day 77 of a voyager run. I feel like I know the mechanics of the game well enough to move up in difficulty. Should I do stalker first, or jump straight into interloper?
Also, I love your content. Keep up the great work man!
Try Stalker, and if its too easy give interloper a run :)
Interloper is rough. Even Stalker can be seriously challenging
@@victor_734 The diference between stalker and interloper is huge, kind of needs one more in the middle, like gunloper.
@@matiasleder6804 Would love a gunloper mode. Add a shotgun on the same level of rarity as the Flare Gun (ammo too) with the ability to kill 2 or more wolves at once with proper maneuvering and shot placement and put it in Stalker too, or an easier game mode, and I feel the game has a perfect cast of weapons
Oh gods! The stick family haha :D my next run in the game is gonna be cray Cray lol
Lol me and my endless death clips 😂 AMAZING VIDEO ZAK! The quality of your videos just keep going up up up and away! I haven’t played TLD in weeks, and this just got me motivated to get back to it
All your The Long Dark Videos are really really great. Thank you.
Great video, man. Lots of stuff I didn't know beforehand, even after watching a lot of other ppl's TLD tips videos. Subbed--hope to see more TLD content!!
Yay, it came out!
This game tooks a lot of time to play but I still play it when I got a chance. Nowadays I try to learn another region instead of mystery lake or mountain town (It's too easy for me now) all I want to do is learn the new region like timberwolf mountain and ash canyon. It might a really long run🙂. Just like the name of this game.
Really nice and helpful video! Good job! Kimiota is currently doing the Fishing Hut thing again
@Ambient Watcher The Long Dark discord? What?
@Ambient Watcher i wonder who that could be 😅
@Ambient Watcher yes
Absolutely love your videos with tips you gave me so much inspiration to play
16:27 When multiple people from the playerbase keep saying this thankfully then you already know you left your money in the hands of the right dev team.
Really thought about a 500 day run in mystery lake alone... but that may not be as realistic as I first thought. Still gonna set up shop by the lake though
My primary complaint about that map is I only want an open world shelter. So Timberwolve mountain is my favorite choice. Plus easy access to fishing and hunting.
But there are better places to live, if only I could build a basic in world home like a cabin.
This is awesome!!!! Thank you!
Thumbs up. My recollection of late game Loper was, "Why am I not just killing everything?" Years back on my longest Loper run I was trying to get Rifle skill to 100 with just books. My hope was for random AGGG spawns to go my way but couldn't pull it off. Then Revolver got added and so went my hopes of all L5 skills on vanilla Loper.
another great video my friend
I have not tested antibiotics but for sure expired pain meds can be used successfully from the radial menu. You must only carry a single dose as any extra will be deleted from your inventory upon use.
Very interesting. Seems like a glitch, but will test this out. Thank you!
New sub! Your a great content creator. Well done sir.
great video! :D
can you make another video where you tell 10 tips on any difficulty? Your tip videos on interloper and any difficulty have helped me a lot, thank you!
I already have one :) Here you go: ruclips.net/video/tomIf9X5Qfw/видео.html
From the beginning of a run, I would highly recommend that you DO NOT use revolver ammo. You should max out your gunsmithing and deconstruct all your revolver ammo and turn it into rifle ammo or at least store the supplies in the region to do ammo runs when you run out and need to make more.
Furthermore, use the rifle to exclusively hunt moose (maybe bears, if you are inexperienced with the bow but do realize that bears bleed and will die from blood loss, moose don’t bleed and therefore can’t bleed out) as the rifle does more base damage and will make killing moose a lot easier.
This is my recommendation, yes the revolver is great against wolves but a bow is good too… if you know how to use it and are cautious around areas with a lot of wolves so you don’t get surprised.
But your rifle ammo supply will last much much longer if you conserve and use it when it is most beneficial and resources efficient.
For non-interloper players, yes this is great advice in order to maximize your ammo type. I would add that ammo is abundant, though - on my casual Stalker runs I have walked around with 300+ bullets, so they are not exactly rare and can be recrafted if shells are picked up after use.
42 days on interloper WITHOUT fire ?
HOLY SHIT; thats impressive
5:22 The deer running away: AAAHHHH
Doesn't the armor only on your outer layer add towards protection, or are all clothing options added up.
Fairly new to the game but one thing I will do to pass the time while I try for 500 days is that I am only going to have 1 base and I may relocate my base to different regions every so often. I've only been in and explored 3 regions of the world map so far, thats how new to the game I am and have never stepped foot in all the others yet so still no idea where most things are so as I explore a new part of the world I spend several days or a week relocating everything in my base to a new home in the new area I wish to explore. It requires going back and forth more then a dozen times but what else am I going to do with my time ?
I can offically confirm, the minute daybreak happens (on a clear day) is usally garenteed to get a fire using your mag lens :)
2:40 that shot was clean as hell
hahaha this end break me, this is resume a my run in long dark
nice video man
Great video :)
Thanks for introducing us to the Stick Family.
LMAO...
If the arrow falls under the map cause of the fall, sometimes quartering brings them back if you have not other means of retrievel. Has served me right in the past...and in some cases better than garunteed arrow despawn.
Atheenon stick man in cave cabin fever clip had laughing out loud while sipping my coffee.
Nice video,bro.
ok the streamer in the last seconds of the video shows what realy happens if you are 500 days alone with nobody in the coldest area of the world. remembers me of cast away with tom hanks :D
Awesome channel
I did not use interloper matches for the longest time, about 350 days, only a magnifying glass, but Ash canyon, until I knew the map, forced me to use 3 matches;)destroyed antibiotics with 0% can be used, but not from the inventory window, but the circular interface from what I remember
For me they did not appear in the radial - it might have been patched. I will do some checks, though. Thanks!
PS: I know what you mean about Ash Canyon haha.
Does anyone know the beat at the beginning (0:27)? Neither of the songs in the content ID seem to be it.
All music is by Norwegian artist Philter. The song is called "I Am Nobody". You can find it on Spotify or here:

"You've got that finite amount of toilet water" 😀. That's The Long Dark for you!
How do you stack things so neatly on the ground ? Mine just ends up in ugly pile
12:54 - A wild Darkest Dungeon quote appears.
Gonna needa TFTFT tip video.
I moust survived 5 days. I love this game. I am playing it from 2 years now. I don t want to survive a very long period of time, I jut enjoy a lot the landscape and freedom you have. I would like to search evry single part of the map and to create clothes. Some weeks ago I killed a rabit with a stone for the first time. I was so proud, but I see I am very far from creating a bear coat. I don t have the patinece to wait in a single place till thigs get curred
Im just doing NOMAD Challenge to know maps and aquire badges. I trying stalker with Runner badge only with most difficult. My sincere respect for Interloopers
umm yea about tip 4, i lost count on how many arrows i lose every playthrough when i shoot a bear and it decides to run and glitch into a rock and despawn along with my arrow :/
Like that Chrono Trigger/Cross Opening.
what a great video
hiding shit in crates you gotta spend 40 minutes breaking open kills me 😂
Thanks for the guide, it's so helpful!!! Just one question : if you have a lot of food on each base, as advised... why 6 cat tails also ? Since the guide is from last year, are you doing it differently now ? Cheers, thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
I do it the same, still :) the cst taile sre non-expiring food that will give one nights sleep.
Thanks for the tips, 800 DAYS holy crap, I'll never get that far lol, good job
Anyone know what the name music from Tip #3 ?, I look anywhere couldn't find it

Hey there, I'm a long-term player but this video raises a few questions for me: how did you stack up so much stuff in the Mountaineer's Hut in TM at the start of the video? You're also not the first Loper player I see keeping 0% meat on them, but whenever I tried it, I always got sick. Is there a reason you're doing this I don't know about? Thank you!
Hi! Happy to answer:
1) I am not entirely sure what you mean about the TWM Hut. Are you asking how to stack things? On PC you just drop things and then right click to move the item, or choose "Place" from the Radial menu. On console the buttons are different, but you can do it there too. Is that what you meant? If you meant the content itself, it's just water and tea as you can see.
2) When you reach level 5 cooking you are immune to food poisoning and parasites, so even eating 0% meat will never get you sick. At level 5, you only get sick eating raw meat. I have another tutorial for interloper, and in Tip #8 I explain how cooking is important. You can see it via this timestamped link:
ruclips.net/video/7QNfwo1-1L4/видео.html
How do you reveal local maps. Mine doesn't show anything. Is this a difficulty issue?
Also how do you unlock the perks?
I've seen others starting a playthrough with certain buffers
I am actually working on a Beginner's Guide video that covers all of this, so if you check my channel in a week or two it will be there. However, in short:
- You uncover maps by using charcoal
- Perks (I assume you mean feats) are unlocked as you play the game on survival mode (not custom)
@@Zaknafein fantastic. I was wondering why I'd need charcoal last night and didn't put the two together. I will watch your next video thanks.
I've had this game a while and not played it with only a small stint in the easiest setting for survival and then played winter mute to episode 3. I love the depth. Thanks for the reply
lol, you used a Dyst clip of mine :)
when you say to make a trail to help you in blizzards, how exactly do you do that? im a new player to thi game and ive been watching videos to help me understand the game better.
You just place objects on the ground along the way. Literally a breadcrumb trail :) cat tail heads, stones, tinder plugs, charcoal etc. are good choices
@@Zaknafein oh OK I see thank you
I just died on day 115. Don't get cocky with aurora wolves!!
4:48 this patience would have saved my main run. I wasn’t patient, run in week of bad weather and get to much cold damage, ended my best interloper run on day 150…
At what durability do you repair your clothing late game to maximize heat while minimizing cloth/pelt use? I can't remember any of the big TLD players talking about this. Keep up the good work Zak. I appreciate it.
Pretty much whenever repair is maximized. For example, thermals repair 50% so I wait until its about that before I repair them. Socks repair close to 100% at a time so I wait until they are very low. Depends on the item :)
@@Zaknafein Thanks for the quick reply. Long time lurker here. Great tips as usual. Cheers
Hey I have a question do Items ReSpawn?
Some do, but not all. These things respawn:
Sticks, Branches, Limbs, Stones, Coal, Animals
Does leaving the meat outside slow the rate it loses condition and goes bad ? If so does that also work if you store it inside a container that’s outside?
Yes it slows the decay. I have never put it in a container outside, so not sure about that detail. But others store food in trunks of cars so my guess would be yes.
@@Zaknafein Thanks bud, your the man !
I think the main issue with storing outside is that when you store the food and it's goes down to 0, it dissappears, but meat when cooked gets 50% restored. So even 0% meat would work for you.
Hi Dude,
First of all thanks a lot for ur precious advices and ur videos. One more great guy in this sweet community.
I was wondering one thing about the matches: do they decay? can't fin a reliable information.
Thanks for your reply.
++
Thank you. Matches decay but extremely slowly so in practice you dont need to worry about it
@@Zaknafein u mean 75% maches can last for 500 days?
@@henribeyer9873 Should be fine. I am almost on Day 1000 now, and my lowest condition matches are 77%
@@Zaknafein Epic!!! I always hesitated to let matches here and there before leaving a zone. Now i can have better zone bases with matches. Thanks dude.
Do you have any idea for get inside to bullet crafting thing .. i mean any shortcut cuz im bored to walk all the parkour to craft bullet ... and any tips for fire match or... fire things ?
There is no shortcut, Im afraid. Well, there kinda is one but its not worth it imo. But you only rarely need to go craft ammo, so do it in bulk.
Not sure what you meant by fire match/fire things?
@@Zaknafein :D i confused .... how you make a fire during blizzard night with magnifyy glass
@@Zaknafein and Zak .. last question ... what s gonna happen when u consume all matches and losing every mag. Lens .. maybe after 5000 days .. how you can start a fire .. this game need flint stone in caves i thnk
@Honga Meyo sorry for the late reply. You cannot make a fire during a blizzard with a magnifying glass. It has to be sunny.
You will not run out of fire making things in the game. Even if you run out of matches, there are 2-3 mag lenses in the game too and these do not lose condition. So if you run out of matches, you have to rely on sunny days, but its doable.
13:48 “I wonder if this is any good to eat?”
No Mackenzie that is not good to eat
how do you find a lot of fire starter? like in interloper for example?
Do you mean the firestriker or just matches in general?
@@Zaknafein like both i saw about the magnifying glass but if you do get that then do you just hoarde matches for like emergencies or do you use them and do they run out?
Like im tryna survive at least a day on interloper to get a trophy on playstation and man i keep dying from hypothermia because im having difficulty in finding matches or fire strikers. I find something like a cave or a lighthouse and then im not sure what to do because hypothermia gets me if i try leaving to get some food or water.
@@crypto2633 There are many spawns. I am working on a video about it. I also have guides on the channel for almost every spawn region where I explain matches locations. In DP where you spawned, it will be in Hibernia Processing
@@Zaknafein thank you
Thanks, yet an other really helpfull video!
But why store water inside. In TLD it does not freeze, once it's melted from snow.
Men, tusen tack, alla fall!
Thank you! Honestly, the water doesn't make a difference, it's just more accessible indoors :)
@@Zaknafein After watchin you Interloper - serie, I was able to start my own Interloper run. Previously I've neglected firstly the use of torches, 'cause I did not pay attention to heat bonuses they give and how to dance with the wolves while holding a torch. Secondly I spend way too long in an area, and not pushing for next place to loot. And last but not least, I eshtablished my base way too early.
Now my best is 19 days on Interloper.
New adventure YAYYYY 😂😂😂
One thing I would add to the last point is, don't set too high of goals for yourself. This is a trap I fell into.
I have one issue with moose. How can you escape once it attacks you. When it finish it attacking and you get up he will turn around and attack you again.
The moose and bear will not attack once you are down. They will walk away and give you a few seconds to leave - just pick up anything dropped and leave immediately when you can control the character again and they will leave you alone.
I have seen the moose attack someone right away after a stomp, but this is a glitch - it's not usually like that.
@@Zaknafein Thank you for a fast reply. I have attacks from bears and yeah they leave after attack and you pick up anything you left and run away. With moose at least with several attacks i had, once you are down you get up and immediately moose notice me and turn around to attack me again. Dont have time to pick stuff or to run away. Maybe before you could, but i tried that y-day and almost died. I did load from last save, he was charging me again :/
@@Zaknafein I guess no reply for the second comment. Oh well thx for the effort on first one
The moose should walk away and leave you alone. I have only seen it attack twice in a row maybe 1 or 2 times, which was a bug. Sorry you got double stomped :/ but it was probably a bug
PS: Sorry for slow reply - I only get notifications on new comment threads, not replies, so had to manually check.
@@Zaknafein Then im one unlucky son of a bitch coz it happen to me more then couple of times :D
Should I buy? Currently reaaaally concidering getting it.
Yes - if you play Survival, the learning curve is long and has infinite replayability. A lot of value for money.
@@Zaknafein Thanks! I think I’ll get it ^^
@@sunfis I agree. The game is basically endless replay ability
I am too chicken to try interloper...lol...so far I spent one ingame day on HRV, it was...scary...and that is it for nonstory maps...
So...a huge percentage of this gem is totally unknown to me...good, as I want to play those other regions "blind"...
guess I'll stick to voyageur for that or go up one level at most
Why did you picked fishing camp in CH instead of garage?
The fishing camp have nearby deer, wolves and a possible bear visitor for easy food. Also fishing hut right there There is also an outdoor work bench for reduced cabin fever risk. Lots of wood outside. It is also close to both the Ravine and PV exits.
Meanwhile the garage is a constant wolf nest with patroling bear and far from anything. Its spacious but less practical. This is just a suggestion, though - the garage is fine too (especially on lower difficulties).
@@Zaknafein Okay, thanks
I’m sorry but if I get jumped by a wolf coming out of a cave where it shouldn’t be except that it’s glitched somehow, I shut off my Xbox and load the save.
If I run around with scent or where wolves always are, then fine you get what you deserve.
But the game is already hard enough that for me to accomplish a run without ever bailing out would be impossible.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve been jumped out of the blue when it made no sense.
Also, sometimes you throw the torch at and literally hit them in the head and they charge you anyway when it’s not an Aurora, and also sometimes when they charge you, at the last second they run sideways until they jump on you, which makes 0 sense and makes it impossible to shoot them.
I like the difficult of the game, but without consistency, it just kills you when you don’t deserve it and that makes it hard to see how I can prevent it in the future. That’s not just frustrating it’ll make you quit playing and I don’t want to quit.
Once you learn the mechanics of how the game works, it becomes very predictable and you rarely fall victim to surprises. It comes with time and experience :)
@@Zaknafein man I’ve definitely found that, but so many times I get things that are obviously glitches in the game. And I almost get that this is a normal part of the game, but it’s pretty difficult to deal with it.
So the Mooscloak and the bearcoat combo is not a good idea?
Too heavy. Moose cloak is only good for animal protection imo - but I dont plan on getting attacked to begin with ;)
Does anyone know what happened to Shardul? I really miss his streams.
Because of work and family reasons, he disappears for half a year or longer at a time and then returns to stream almost daily for a month or two. He was around earlier this year and I spoke with him about using his footage for the videos.
Glad to hear he hasn't left us. I've been enjoying ur video's also. I've been playing TLD for years and didn't realize how powerful torches are against wolves. Thx for the lesson.
The best tip of all is to alt+f4 when an animal attacks
I remember when i got jumpscared by a wolf n quick scoped
Can you do a bow tutorial. I don’t play higher difficulties because I’m terrible with the bow
I will do this one day :)
I was wandering if there were some good suggestions. But says you wont be needing my help anyway.
My goal was to break down every possible artificial objects. Fighting cold or indoor sickness.
ie. hydro dam area. You will be spending a year breaking down everything.
Help is always appreciated. I have the same goal and have broken down all crates in the Dam. Gave close to 400 reclaimed wood. GunTech also broken down everything in the dam. It takes a while and cabin fever is a factor.
@@Zaknafein not just crates. every other things too like chairs and shelves but natural wood.I mean since there is nothing better to do.
I'm trying to map out the whole world any tips?
If you are doing it on for the achievement, it's easiest to do it on lower difficulties like Pilgrim or Voyager. Other than that, I recommend one region at a time. Establish a base there and then map gradually. Check your journal to see if you are missing any areas.
@@Zaknafein yea at the moment I make a base in 1 region map it out take all my stuff and move to a new base in another region then map it out and move and on and on
Me finding 4 stims in visor note stash
I play on both because i like lopes scarcity. But i enjoy fucking blasting with that rife an revolver lmfao. I wish they have a loper difficulty with guns, called brutal mode or something cooler where bears kill you instantly an wolves do more damage an all attacks cause infections. But allowing you to find guns with keeping the spawns scattered. So instead of two revolver spawns in per area as in stalker. You only get one in brutal.
Why are there so many stims in broken railroad?
Not sure - maybe its a reward for surving that wolf nest. There is one in the lodge, one in Ravine and sometimes one in the yard crate.
@@Zaknafein Honestly climbing down the ravine isn't worth it most of the time.
@@notlogan6482 Hm, I disagree. You can find a stim, coffee and it is a possible firestriker spawn. All of which is gold on interloper :)
What about the camp office base. This base is First in top Best bases in The Long Dark
Yes, it's a great base. But Trappers Cabin can have a Moose and Bear spawn. Rabbits are outside. Coal in the cave. You are very secure there.
Or just play Interloper with no rest, or passive recovery, with only birch bark, and stims, to recover health. Or no birch bark tea, and just stims. To make it even harder, if that is
possible, take the same Deadman Run, and make it an Outerloper run where you cannot go into any building with a loading screen, except transition structures, i.e. The Dam,
but you are not allowed to sleep in transition caves, only open caves, and structures without a loading screen. Then you could go cattails only Deadman Outerloper.
Yeah, if you want a challenge, try the NOGOA Outerloper challenge people are doing these days. Probably the hardest challenge in the game.
But people have mixed feelings about it - those challenge are brutal but quickly turns into a campfire simulator, which is less enjoyable to play. My hat goes off to the streamers doing it and are up to Day 300+. Insane!
(PS: Cat tails only NOGOA Outerloper would be... extreme. Ultimately deadly unless you are allowed to fish or hunt).
Can you make video for Darkwalker survival tips?
Would love to. I will see it I have time, though. Also depends if you want to speedrun it or survive as long as possible.
@@Zaknafein I would love to know how to survive as long as possible. I'm not a fan of speed run. I don't end up well on speed runs.
GELtaz is the real OG interloper player...
Why would you chose Trapper's cabin over Camp office for a main base tho?
Bed has better recovery. Bunny's behind the cabin. No preditors spawn in range. Coal in the cave. Moose spawn nearby. Bear spawn nearby. If you don't harvest the deer nearby, endless feathers.
In Loper, personally I prefer the dam. Easy hunting in the ravine. Protected area outside for cooking. Tons of stuff to break down if killing time. But mostly just having the ravine next door is great.. loads of birch bark, loads of rabbits, no wolves etc
Just fyi. That fenced in area isn't so protected. If you have stink on you wolves can get through the fence. Ive learned to act as though its not fenced in.
@@philiphaycock3845 woulves do spawn in the ravine
@@keirareid6720 Are you sure you're thinking of the right place? They really don't. Even the wiki says it.
So... I made it 289 days. Stalker first try... i uhm.... died.... from the worst way.... eee.... el...
Electrocuted To Death.. trying to get outside really fast... should’ve taken the long rout...
would’ve been day 300 or more....
Excuse me how do you get electrocuted to death
I like this game too
