All content is correct and verified as of v.1.93, but is subject to change.
The tips listed are by no way the "best" tips, but rather 10 thoroughly explained tips that hopefully will help you survive.
Alternative shredding mechanic:
On larger animals, select to harvest ALL the meat. Then scroll back down to the lowest. The game will now select scraps based on the excess, allowing you to harvest smaller chunks. For example, if you killed a deer that weighs 9.2 kg:
Select to harvest all of it, then deselect down. It will reduce the harvesting by 0.5 kg, meaning it eventually goes down to 0.2 kg. You can now harvest 0.2kg bits. Doing this way will also level up the carcass harvesting skill faster.

Editing and content disclaimers:
- The map showing wolves and bears in Mystery Lake is not exhaustive, but just an illustration of where they could spawn. They will not be in all those locations in one run, and there are a few other places wolves can spawn or roam, sometimes with variation within an area. Moose spawns are not marked, but there are three (Trappers Cabin, the cabin near Unnamed Pond, and river by the Dam)
- The path from Timberwolf Mountain to Desolation Point is just one suggested route. Many streamers prefer instead to go via Mystery Lake and to Forlorn Muskeg. It is just one suggestion: the important thing is to keep moving and head for a forge once you find a hammer - it doesn't have to be the one in Desolation Point.
- You do not need to go for the starvation tactic. Many experienced players, including myself, do not normally use it: we go for well fed right away. But for players starting out on interloper, I recommend it.
- To my knowledge, no one has ever counted all the cat tails in the world. If I had to guess, its between 1500-2000 of them. EDIT: kimiota has reportedly done it and its around 1600
- The reason why the Coastal Highway path curves at the end is because you should also check the fishing hut there... it has a chance of a hammer spawn. Beware of wolves, though.
- Affliction health loss numbers are rounded, both up and down. During my testing, the average condition loss during Risk of Hypothermia was 21,75% (TLD wiki reports it to be 18%)
- The Bleak Inlet bedroll is the only guaranteed, fixed spawn. This does not mean that other bedrolls will NOT spawn - they are determined by loot tables and are found in certain areas around the world.
- It is possible to climb down the Ravine without a rope, according to kimiota and GunTech1. However, the route needed to do this is such a detour that it is not worth it. Easier to get a rope.
- In addition to the items I recommend carrying, you might want to also carry 12 cat tails stalks. Just in case you need to re-enter starvation mode, it will provide food for two days. - Игры
First time in interloper: I spawned to the sound of a wolf howling and then growling. I walked around to the other side of the boulder I was next to, and was immediately attacked and killed. Back to voyageur!!!!
You gotta listen to the direction of where the sound is coming from because the wolf will be there. You suppose to escape to the opposite direction from the sound.
Sounds like me. I finally made it to the forge to create a knife. Was cold and had low health, but all I had to do was make it back to the Trapper's Cabin. Topped a hill and a silent wolf jumped me. Dead. At least I tried.
I made it to day 20 and then dared to eat one single fricking piece of wolf meat because a deer ran away with the last of my arrows sticking in it and I couldnt find the stupid thing. Of course I immediatly got worms and had to treat that. Twenty days later I got rid of the parasites but I was tired, only had two arrows and no meat left. I died at day 40 in a blizzard trying to find the damn deer that I just shot a minute ago.
Similar happened to me. The only difference was I literally spawned during a storm while there was a wolf around the corner. Was also on a nap I never been in before so I had no idea where to go or what to do.
I was like, "nope" and started a new game.
Btw, the game seems harder now than it was then because I have been looking at a few games and they have clear skies. I never seen a clear sky. I got about 5 days under my belt and I dream of walking to new locations and gathering things but I freeze. Barely even have a chance to get wood. I can't see anything and get lost if I head out too far. Can see only 15 feet in front of me.
It's silly.
Yes, this exact thing happened to me too.
I counted the cat tails and it's over 1600. My number one tip for interloper is "Don't get attached". This was great thank you.
I knew I gonna love this video from the first sentence! "So, fellow survivor..., you decided you hate yourself". lol Awesome!!!
I'll 2nd Zaknafein's tip on the emergency stims. I've saved my run a few times from those things. The most extreme was when I was in Hushed River Valley (another great source of cattails, btw), and wasn't paying enough attention to the development of hypothermia risk and slowed up avoiding a wolf and a bear on my way between camp sites and got full hypothermia. Any remaining vitality I'd had left was gone in a heaertbeat and so was my remaining cnd. I was in the red and my survivor was starting the drunken stumble. I knew there was no way I'd reach the warmth and safety of my camp -- unless...
I popped a stim. The 15% cnd recovery and just enough sprint to run to the camp site (camp fire sheltered by rocks on most sides and a snow shelter), got a roaring fire going and rested in the snow shelter until the hypothermia ran its course, coming out only long enough to stoke the fire when necessary, or grab some more food or water. That's just one example of how good this guy's advice is on emergency stims.
I am around 751 days old and from day 3 I still have buff well feed. In my opinion, it is not worth starving, because lifting capacity is more important. Good video
Yes, but as I mentioned in the video, the starvation tactic is only for the early game until you are able to provide food for yourself. Veteran players often do not use it. Personally, I don't use it: on a regular interloper run I go for well fed from the start. Like you say, the carrying capacity is worth it. However, I often hear from players that they run out of food, so the starvation tactic is a good survival strategy until you get the hang of loper :)
Grats with 750 days! I am on 710 myself.
@@Zaknafein hi again, about the hunger mechanics, I found a cool mod that changes the hunger system;) github.com/zeobviouslyfakeacc/HungerRevamped
try it
My first 3 Interloper runs.
1: Spawned in the middle of nowhere, froze to death
2: I don't know where I am, a wolf chased me down a cliff, I fell and died.
3: Pack of wolf hunted me after 2 minutes of spawning.
GG
Lol my first run was pretty much number one until I found out where some shelter spots were
I like to think of shredding as literally what it is. Taking apart an animal into very small pieces, and experimenting with those individual chunks instead of the whole animal at once. That way, you can learn from your mistakes quickly and don’t waste a bunch of meat in the process.
With no much experience I decided to try with my first Interloper run. I thought Voyager was fun but this is something else. I'm loving every second of it, every second of being aware that everything around tries to kill me. I got out of the verge of death twice so far, I'm probably gonna die on my way to Forlorn Muskeg forge but who cares, lol.
The biggest surprise for me, going from Voyager to Interloper, was that campfires didn't necessarily warm you up at all (and that different types and amounts of fuel were needed to get the fire to offset the ambient temperature). What are your best tips/suggestions for ensuring that you have the materials needed to make a fire that will actually cure your hypothermia...? It is a big let-down if you think you can start a fire anytime, but when you actually need it, it fails to increase your body warmth!
Always carry a couple coal pieces if you can. If not, sticks are your friends. Carry at least 20. One stick = 1 degree warmth
Wait what in what world is putting sticks on a fire gonna heat you less than logs lmfao immersion broken

@@cameronlamb1869 In a world where you can only wear one pair of gloves, two beanies, two pairs of socks, etc. :P A lot of their stuff is absurd. Like the 9 kg rifle!
"Must have been the wind.." caught me off guard. Holy shit. Getting real Skyrim vibes where he returns to his post with an arrow in his head.
6:40 LOL the "listening to zach" joke gets me every time
currently attempting my first interloper run after playing a few hundred days om stalker.
ive died 5 times in less than an hour
Yeah big gap between the two no doubt. Interloper is ruthless!
as the novelty coffee mug says, "You don't need a bow to survive interloper, but it helps."
Great job Zak! Informative and funny. 10/10 will watch again!
1:30
When you re lost under bad weather. Quick cheat is to reload the game. It will load you from last savepoint unless you suffered wound, you will be at your last wakeup or indoor point.
My tip in addition.
Dont bother farming world spawn deer carcasses
1. You wont be looting anything in the beginning phase of the game without fire
2. It is a good landmark and sound tracer(when using stereo) so why erase it.
Starvation is actually a debatable strategy even early game. You absolutely can support the Well Fed buff even before you are able to hunt if you're moving fast enough and use every little bit of calorie available. Atheenon for example goes for it right from day 1. Another thing I also learned from him is to drink down reishi and rosehip teas to about 15 calorie bits, that way you won't actually activate their healing effect but you get almost all the water and calories out of them and can carry a ton of those 0.01kg teas with you. Doesn't work with herbal and birch bark tea though, with those the effects are proportional to the amount you drink. You can do a similar trick with canned food where you eat it down to a tiny bit then you can cook it later and still get the cooking skill points. May be cheesy but this is the kind of thing you need to do to maximize your chances.
Also one personal note I want to add is that if you spawn in Desolation Point, don't expect a fun time lol. There's very little food and wolves are placed in critical choke points (as per the bad habit of this game), and unless you can find a bedroll, getting out of this region is a pain. I personally just quit and restart as soon as I see DP spawn.
I agree - I go for well fed bonus from Day 1. Its fairly easy when you know where to go. But since this video is aimed at people either trying or struggling with interloper, its a tip that may be useful. But yes, Well Fed from Day 1 is perfectly doable :)
@@Zaknafein I didn't think of that, in that context yes it's a useful tip!
This is so well put together.. I remember watching this a long time ago when I first started playing interloper. Im watching it again just for fun and I'm feeling like Im getting that sense of desperation I once had back before I knew what I know now. What a trip it's been!
15:52 Moosli cereal i died there lol. thanks for the tips!
Always a pleasure, Doctor Z. One of these days I’m just going to have to man-up and give it a go myself. On the positive side, maybe I just don’t hate myself enough yet...
I honestly had reverse learning experience. I tend to play interloper because it sounds cool. But I get in and I focus on immediate survival.
It forces you too look every mechanic and bonus you can imagine in that need fulfillment. Spend all that run in that one meter and die. It's short it's sweet and it teaches you things like clothing mechanic deeper.
After an interloper run I tend to take a normal run for my sanity and enjoyment. And I simply apply everything I learned and see how far I get. By alternating the two you get a really good feel of what's the thing your not taking care of well enough and killing you. As well as the easier run to explore and try things out.
But yea. Map knowledge is earned over time. But good decision making can be learned way faster then you can explore the map that way. And it's useful for blind map exploration.
I have been watching your videos for about a year now. It took me a lot of tries, but today I made it to day 34 on Interloper! I died after getting parasites and then attacked by a wolf, but I am proud! I had the bow and was living in the harsh FM. Thanks for all your tutorials, Zak! I am back watching this video again today to see if there is anything else I can be thinking about for my next run. Love this game!
I got to about 200 days on Interloper but somehow managed to get hit by frostbite and I am thinking on ending this pain.
Also I got to Ash Canyon to take the crampons and backpack and I have no idea how to leave that area now lol 🤣🤣
as a veteran player (since beta)
I am ashamed to say that my longest interloper run only lasted 55 days xD
I think the meat thing to get ur skill up is fine cause if you were to practice more with smaller pieces you’d learn to not make mistakes quicker than messing up less times with more meat
Nice. Always fun to been shown at my absolute peak of surliness :) It's my schtick.
150 calories for 1,000 tail stalks=150,000 calories.....
I find fishing good. Keeps you outdoors a lot so no cabin fever, make lots of water, cook plenty.
Been waiting for this, good stuff. Cant wait for the next one!
First time Interloper I died of hunger after 2 days. Didn't have a single struggle, but I couldn't find food for the life of me. Loper really forces you to go hunting ASAP. You can forget looting for food. I was about dead on the first day but I got lucky and I was strong enough to carry myself for another day.
you don't NEED to craft a bearskin bedroll, it decays so fast and gives +12 only when used. i recommend you to craft bearskin coats which gives +6 warmth bonus, has a great protection and even if u get into a struggle or mauling it takes so little damage. there is a guaranteed bedroll in Mystery Lake that has 3 possible locations. this means the bedroll will definitely spawn in one of those spots. the spawn points: in the hunter blind near Carter, in Camp Office upstairs or in the closest fishing hut to the bear spawn on the Lake. And the Forlorn Muskeg forge counts as outdoors, thats right. but there is so little amount of scrap or fuel there, so you gotta carry those to forge. i recommend u to use Broken Railroad one, because you can just go there with only hammer and hacksaw and get tons of fuel and scrap. also theere is a warm outdoors bed that you can sleep to get rid of cabin fever that you got while getting all those firewood, metal or forging your items.
Great tips, and the strategies used depend on playstyle.I prefer the bear bedroll before the coat, because it gives more security towards sleeping outdoors. Similarly, I have seen people die on the outdoor bed by the BR forge, so it is risky in the early game.
That being said, you are right and there is nothing wrong with going to BR rather than FM, and crafting the bear coat first is also a big win.
PS: The bedroll can also spawn in Trapper's Cabin in ML.
@@Zaknafein you might die if you do not be cautious and sleep like 10 hours or 6 hours straight. since you dont have a proper clothing in early game, it's normal for it to be under 0 C if a blizzard starts or in the coldest time of the day (which is dawn). you just need to be careful.
Just did 21 days on inter, i ran out of matches, had 2 magnifying glasses but the weather was overcast for days.
With my last bit of life i launched myself off a gorge.
I wish you could sleep anywhere, as in real life, just curl up in a moose carcass.
Love this game
Great vid
Great video Zak. looking forward to more
CANT WAIT FOR PART 3!!!
I used to starve myself while awake, then stopped when Well Fed was added. You're probably right that it's still a good idea early in an Interloper game.
Another great video as always
I've been struggling with Interloper. Thanks for the video, some new tips in there for me. Like crafting a snow shelter, different chances to start fires based on what you burn.
This is great guide vid for who just tarted playing interloper ! Thumbs up ;)
This is a very good quality video, nice job man
Awesome video, thanks for all the info!
Tried to play interloper for the first time today ( haven’t explored all the maps yet cause apparently I like to make things difficult for myself) spawned in Timberwolf mountain and managed to make it to the mountaineers hut and ruined building in pleasant valley. It was going well in the beginning but I ran out of food on the way to pleasant valley and my last few hours were spent desperately searching for cattails and backpacks.
Ah well, there’s always next time
This is a great video. Also as you know there is also a 3rd Flare Gun now in Keepers Pass North down the rope.
1:49 Did he just say werewolves?!! Yikes 😱 😂
First round I spawned in a ravine and I had to climb my way out. I found myself at a prison where I eventually died to the cold.
This is my first time playing but it’s so interesting already.
My second time I spawned at the top of Mount Everest in a blizzard. I ran around frantically until I found a small mountain hut in just the nic of time. I struggled to get the fire going, as every second counted, on my second try I finally got the fire going.
6:28 I hate you with every fiber of my being
Awesome Video(s), you got a new subscriber! Keep up the great work :)
Yooo great video i learned alot!
Never done an Interloper run before. I usually do Voyager or a custom, slightly-harder-than-voyager difficulty. Seeing all this makes me want to work up to Interloper
Great video, very informative! Thank you!
Got the game a week and decided to play interloper yesterday, instead of Pilgrim. First game 2 hours alive, second game 4..... i'm progressing and outsmarting the sh*t out of this game :))
Great video. They do help alot too, big fan of this game, the Long Dark is amazing
i'm incredibly happy this game blossomed into what it is today. The only survival game i still play today and the only one without bullshit, only true nature survival.
Yoo just found your channel! I love your videos!
absolutely loved this video thank you
I loved the moose part that was hilarious
also lovd your content! wish more people did tld stuff on youtube
Canadian northern wilderness is definitely something to which I can relate. Going to give this game a try. Thank you for the great tips!
Thank you uncle Zak
Quality video, thanks!
Nice video, bro. Is very helpful.
most fresh intro on yt
Whether a bug or a feature, you will always completely remove and reset cabin fever risk whenever you are at the back of a cave
That is a feature, because it is outdoors :)
@@Zaknafein Good to know 👍 Cheers
16:04 another useful coal collection place is the cannery worker residences in bleak inlet. It’s tough there so good to know easy coal is there
This is probably the most difficult and unforgiving game i have ever played. I have died so many hundreds of times over some of the silliest things but i am so hooked. I am on a good interloper survival run now, I have the best of everything and will probably die doing something stupid any day now lol
LMAO the water bottle hanging on the handle of the fridge. Sooo much water LOL
8:37 literally happened to me last night trying to get Faithful cartographer achievement done 😢😢 I wanted to look over the cliff edge to find a path down and... yeah. 20 hours down the drain
The stick around bit got me
Lol first 3 interloper runs made me so sad :( first run I spawned in ash canyon, was right by the cave to get to Timberwolf mountain summit, I was like omg this is gonna be a 500 day run, right as I get to the rope to climb I sprained my ankle :D blizzard hit, tried to harvest my shirt for cloth to make a bandage to fix my ankle, storm hit, almost hit hypothermia, faded while climbing the rope literally a 30 second walk from the summit. 2nd run I spawned in DP, needless to say I did not make it out. 3rd spawn I spawned in forlorn, I was like ok great I’m close to trappers, got chased by a wolf, made a risky move across ice, fell through, got hypo, actually managed to still get to trappers, FOUND A MAG GLASS, but because of hypo my health was so freaking low I couldn’t get enough food. Had to leave trappers and go to camp office STILL WITH HYPO. Managed to cure hypothermia, cleared mystery lake while constantly on red on the heslth bar, faded into the long dark AS I WAS OPENING CARTED HYDRO DAMA GATE. I wish I was making any of this up. I was so proud of myself for problem solving but also so sad because I found a mag glass day one
I know TLD from the beginning on. I always play on Interloper long term. My last run was approx. 1.200 days. If you have lived for more than 100 days the problem is not storm or the hostile wildlife. It is the late game which is boring as hell. This video is good. I can confirm most of your thoughts. thank you.
So what's the point of playing it then?
@@ericcartman9594 I have no TLD run currently.
@@FilmFanLocation okay, but as I said, what's the point of playing a game once it's all done, it becomes boring and the only thing last to do is waiting for a certain death?
@@ericcartman9594 I tried to run for 10.000 days or more, to See what will go first. I thought matches go first, but after surviving more than 1000 days and several updates , in my opinion it will be cloth. The 2nd point is that I was interested in how fast wildlife will reduce and the decreasing of temperature. But after all, it makes no sense spending so much lifetime to get this Information.
@@FilmFanLocation 1200 days yeah right buddy highly doubt it
What I really hate is when the weather is perfect so you decide to take like a 2 hour nap outside in your sleeping bag and you wake up lost in a blizzard
Just got the game yesterday I love it
Great video dude and some very awesome and useful tips. I always love to watch the different ways long dark players go about survival and exploring. I went finally to ash canyon and hated it the area but was a great experience and also learn you can climb down certain rope areas without the rope lol
Well, I have survived a day for the achievement but not so long after that I died. Interloper really wants to kill me and the most common way I die is frozen to death.
My first interloper run:
Spawn in forlorn muskeg
Try to find a shelter-can’t see any
fall through the ice trying to cross
clothes soaked and freezing
find shelter
Make a fire-oh wait-I don’t have any matches
no matches? that’s a thing?
Try to find matches
find wolf
spend three minutes backing away from wolf back to the shelter because I can’t run
Condition is low-maybe I can warm up with the sleeping bag
“You faded into the long dark”
Sounds like loper :)
Every time I see a stick, I get a little bit of neuron activation.
I don’t know if it was a bug or something but I found a cowichan sweater at around day 60 :)
I have been going over tips because this will be my first time playing and I am trying hardest game mode on first try
Interloper will get far more easier the more you play it you’ll get a lot of experience from it
You know mentioning that aspect about getting the bow somewhere near the end of the video makes one think why cannot you use the bow and stick or arrow I would prefer stick to create a fire starter.
I mean damage to the bow would be one thing right and the use of a stick would be another possibly
TK man
I found 2 flare guns in hibernia in DP on day 2, i was wooohooo then 2 mins later i got attacked by a bear, i fled toward a wolf and died!...
The most important aspect of mastering Interloper is..mastering the bow
Zak, all your advice means nothing if one is not able to be a bow master. It is the core of what it means t be an Interloper
Yeah thats why one of the tips is to level archery :) Although its perfectly possible to survive for a long time without the bow
@@Zaknafein No sir, what killed me in Interloper was that 1(one) missed shot.
Lovely
I die on pilgrim due to ailments/freezing/hypothermia. I die on Voyager from wolves bears or blizzards. Regardless of any tips I'll never be able to play on interloper. The longest I've been able to survive was 12 days.
This games map is amazing it's so massive the only game I've seen with a map that is this big was DayZ Livonia
i think coal is the only sorce to get the needed temperatur for the forge
Yes thats correct - forging can only be done with coal. You need a minimum of 4 pieces to do it, but more is easier.
My problem as a newer player who wishes to punish myself with interloper is, no matter how many times I spawn, I can never seem to reach any of the shelters/houses anywhere. I've been trying to follow some tips on what to gather up on, but with no shelter it's nearly impossible. I need help.
On this channel, there are guides for every interloper spawn, except Blackrock. That might help. If you need specific help, you can also ask here, on my Discord, or submit clips to the coaching videos
what FOV do you use?
What's the song at 3:10? I couldn't manage to find it on Spotify in Philter's discography
Its called Sinus and I think its part of his old free album from his website. You can find it here too:

@@Zaknafein wow didn't expected a response so quick, thanks you very much. The video was great by the way. 😁
Tryed Loper spawned in Desolation Point looted lighthouse prosesing etc but didn't know how to leave the region so i decided to feed my self to Boris the bear
Zak, do you know any tips on how to one shot the bear with a flare gun? I keep on hitting the bears and having them bleed but I don't have a harvesting tool and wolves are in the way of the forge I am trying to go to.
There is no sure way to do it, because when the flare hits it will roll a die on whether it is a critical hit, similar to how you CAN one-shot a bear or moose with the bow or rifle, but it won't happen every time.
In my previous video, I give an explanation on a technique you can use that often works. See this timestamp:
ruclips.net/video/tomIf9X5Qfw/видео.html
@@Zaknafein Thanks for the help, I finally got the bear.
Any tips where to find some interloper prybar - in CH, PV, TWM? Im at day ~65, started FM, had prybar but foolishly left it in ML.Office... and niw i suspect there is a good loot in locked lockers in PV/cache...
Also - till when is worth summiting TWM? In terms of Decay of clothes, is it ok on day 100?
Clothes decay relatively fast. I usually summit quite early, but yes - if you go before Day 100 you should be fine. I went on Day 86 and it was OK.
I have yet to log all the prybar locations, since there are around 15 of them on interloper. There is often one in the PV barn or farm basement. Check cars too. In TWM its usually in the hut or fishing hut. In CH it can be many places, check all cars and cabins.
@@Zaknafein found the prybar in CH - next to higher and closer of two bodies north-west of Fishing Huts, Bearcreek Campground direction :)
You say to pick up all sticks and keep moving, looting all along the way, meanwhile using the starvation mechanic lowers the amount you can carry. So how do you manage to carry everything until you get a bow/set up a home base? Do you leave certain stuff at locations as caches or just not loot all things as you pass.
Starvation tactic does not decrease carry weight, but well fed increases it after 3 days. If you get heavy, leave items behind in central locations that can act as regional bases at a later stage.
DAMN! 3 Dys in and im over it.
Great game
Music used in the intro please?
All music is by Philter. The intro is called "I Am Nobody".

Learn the maps. It's the best tip of them all. Which is why you should never jump into interloper as a beginner.
I've only ever played on Interloper and think new players should consider it. You can never, ever go back and have that experience, the challenge alongside such an unknown. The combination of desperation and hope as you turn every corner and cross every ridge, you're always lost, it's great, a purer survival experience.
What's the difference between stalker and interloper besides guns not spawning.
Interloper has less loot, colder weather, deadlier wolves, fewer items spawning, drains your meters faster, and you have to craft knives and hatchets.
Moosli cereal.... XD
I love the DP spawn (on the ice near the sea). But the game stopped letting me spawn there for some reason. I spent over 30 minutes just purely rolling spawns to get a spawn there. Why just they wont add an option to choose the spawn!?!?! i dont like interloper anymore! 😥
