INFORMATION ABOUT THE RUN:
The run took close to a year to complete, running from January to September 2020. The first 100 days or so occurred off-stream. I started streaming in April, and from June onwards the remainder of the run was streamed entirely live, approximately Day 120-500.
In order to make the run more enjoyable, I set numerous goals for myself to complete. These included things such as mapping the whole world, reaching level 5 gunsmithing, killing 500 predators, killing all three special wolves, creating trails, and many more.
On Day 499 I returned to the point where I spawned and planted a cairn with basic supplies for the next survivor. I waited by a campfire until I reached day 500.
DISCLAIMER/DETAILS ABOUT CERTAIN CLIPS:
The video shows various highlights from the whole 500 Day journey, in (mostly) chronological order. However, very observant viewers will notice a couple of minor discrepancies in the clips (e.g. why am I killing a Moose on Day 32 in Timberwolf Mountain, but climbing the summit on Day 76?). This is a result of me not streaming the first 100 days. During those days, I recorded footage but regrettably only saved highlights. This meant that some footage was lost, and this was replaced by alternative footage (from the same run), showing the same event.
Therefore, the following clips do not show the actual event that occurred that specific day, but a similar event from a different day (from the same run):
Day 1 - I do not think my original spawn location exists anymore, and I could not even get a spawn there on new runs after 20 attempts, so this footage is staged.
Day 6 - I made arrowheads that day in the Spencer homestead, but the footage is from creating a second batch of arrows at the same location around Day 400.
Day 32 - My first Moose kill was in Milton basin on Day 32, but the footage was lost. The moose kill shown was around Day 80 (my second moose kill).
Day 76 - I climbed the summit on Day 76, but footage was lost. The footage shows me re-climbing the summit around Day 297. I climbed the summit three times during the 500 Days.
All other clips show are accurate and show the events as they happened, on that day.
If you are wondering why it skips from Day 127 to 238: During those 100 days, very little happened. I spent most of it in Hushed River Valley and Desolation Point. Outside of the battle vs. Sketchy and killing the bear with flare gun, little of note happened during this time.
If you are wondering what happened with the immune timberwolves: According to Hinterland (who reviewed the clip), the wolves bugged. They charged and got afraid at the same time, causing them to not react to the flare.
Thank you to everyone for being part of this truly wonderful run. There were so many close calls, but I survived in the end.

*spawns off in the middle of some trees and snow* "ahh yes i know where i am, Pleasant Valley"
Haha, well if you want to play interloper it really helps if you know the maps intimately :)
But you can open your map to check which region you are in right now, aren't you?
@@drsnorlax_felineknights When you spawn, it will tell you the region, and yes - opening your map will also tell you. But it won't tell you where in the region you are, just a blank map.
There are probably 10 interloper spawns, after you spawn in and die 50 times you start to remember them 😢. Took me ALOT of times dying before I could survive interloper for more than 10 days. Just died on day 59 from a wolf attack while harvesting a deer. Guess my fire wasn’t close enough....
I thougt I heard Unpleasant Valley
A tip for the beginners:
The guy who got Faithful Cartographer on Interloper and dominates Bleak Inlet almost got killed 2 times in Mystery Lake! Never let yourself feel too cool and relaxed in this game! Never!
Very nice video!
This is absolutely solid advice and so true! Well put. I actually have this as a tip in an upcoming interloper video as well.
Glad you liked the video :)
That’s how it is in real life situations. There’s never more than a thin veil between you and death
Your archery skills are insane.
He is like artillery :D
I made it 40 days on interloper, killed my first moose, and was cooking it up when I was suddenly attacked by a wolf and died abruptly. This game is ruthless and doesn’t care much about your feelings. Well done. I’m still trying.
this dude went from badass cs 1.6 content to badass Long dark content

Thank you!
While I have been making gaming movies for almost 20 years, I did not actively start using RUclips before 2019. Therefore I kind of fell out of being active on the site or uploading my old movies. Back in 2005 or so when RUclips started, copyrights were very strict and all the uploads I did got blocked, so I gave up and didnt do much to the channel. I think most people from back in the day dont know about this channel since my biggest movies are uploaded by others. But it doesnt matter: I have been editing actively the last two years and especially enjoy the wonderful TLD community :)
Thank you for your comments!
Zak, I keep coming back to rewatch this video time and again. It’s a masterpiece.
Thank you!
but nah as someone that has barely stepped out of Pilgrim mode, this is legit. Great job
Didnt know I'd see your comment in one of those videos,buddy lol - Your lovely birdie
@@watermelonthelittleone2182 BIRDIE!
@@CornDogByers xD
That rabbit kill though :)
Also like your basecamp arrangement. I do that in every game. It's pointless but I like my stuff neatly organized.
Very smart to make blizzard directions. Sometimes I even get lost just by picking up stuff from the ground XD
There is a helpful tip I've learned. Naturally spawned won't work this way but anytime you drop a stick from your inventory it'll always point in the same direction. Very useful for getting your bearings even in a blizzard.
@@FFgamesftw Might not be of use to you or OP, but hopefully for anyone in the future: when you drop a stick it always points North
Very cool video. As a guy that is just dipping his toes into interloper, this is a great inspiration.
one day I'll be good enough to survive 24 hours on Interloper.
Future you?
@connmanw7953 nope, not yet. Though I haven't played in like a year, so maybe I should try again.
Wow, I have chills. The Long Dark is just a beautiful, immersive game. 500 days is no joke but on interloper it is even more crazy. Congratulations!
And thanks to you I have found a new song I need to check out.
Damn . You are one of best player in TLD sir
It was like a watching a movie. Nice video.
The "there it is yaayyy" was so wholesome
making signs with Cat tails...very cool tip!!
Ghost Towns is such a good song for TLD
2:18 "that's rough buddy"
500 days achievement on Interloper is no joke.
The first few days are hell. You'll most likely die in the first few days... many times.
Eventually, if you make it, and manage to craft your first bow, the game becomes easy. So, you get confident, go on a killing spree. Hoard meat and skin. Then get too confident and poof.... death by wolf. Surprise or no surprise, it happens.
Rinse and repeating this process eventually makes you more experienced. You make less mistakes, be more alert. That still doesn't guarantee that you'd survive the first few days everytime. But you finally do get a bow. Again, the game becomes a piece of cake. You continue up to 100 days, easy. You begin to feel like you've mastered this game. You are just way too cool. 500 days will be a breeze for you now.... or are they?
Something is amiss now. As you continue, you realize that you've been using up too many matches. Your magnifying lens won't allow you to light fires anymore, because it's never sunny in philadelphia... I mean, great bear. You start to panic. Take another trip to the already looted locations. Not many rabbits left for you to fix your mitts and hat with. You become desperate, but there are no more matches. You die around 220 days. You get heartbroken... disappointed. You feel like this is impossible to do!
You get back up again. This time, you know that no matter how hard the first few days are, the ones after 100 are going to be worse.... much worse. So, you wise up. Conserve. Tread lightly. Eventually, you die on day 187.
After a few more deaths on day 200, 280 and 322, you finally learn the spots safe to tread on during beach combing. You know how to remove your clothes at the right times to prevent them from getting wet or torn. You know the usefulness of a snow shelter ir the risk you take while making one. You learn to calculate the pris and cons of your every action. And finally... you die on day 495. You are sad, but hardened from all your failures now. You don't break down.
You survive the first few days on the next run. Hunt well, during the easy period. Carry torch to torch to locations that are too dangerous, saving your matches. Use magnifying glass at every chance you get. Hoard fish during the blizzards. Eventually, you still run out of matches and a firestriker. But it's day 498. You press on. Say fuck you to cabin fever ànd coop up in your base. Sit the next days off. Reach 500 days. Feel invincible, a sense of great achievement. Think "How much longer can I survive?" You start trying to survive again, but you left no opportunities for that, you have cabin fever. You take your bedroll and go into a nearby cave to sleep.... only to never wake up again. Day 502.
I heard some people survived for 800 days or so. But for me, I am proud of my 502 days.
The most I’ve gotten is day 30 so this seems very impressive, good job man.
i reached 60 and got bored.. i dont know why i get hooked on new games but eventually get bored of the grinding..
The music fits this game really well
Been debating getting The Long Dark for a while now and I think this is just the video I needed to see to convince me, definitely a neat idea to show the highlights of your epic journey man, well played!
Are you enjoying the game?
Fantastic..those who know- know this is hardcore
pausing to watch this later w my friend who loves TLD. as someone who always tryhards with bows or snipers i fuck with your playstyle heavy. couldn’t believe your reaction time in the cave with sketchy. or the blizzard trail thing... never even thought of that. youre skilled mate
You get a like for introducing me to my new favorite song
Haha thank you. Radical Face is great! Very homely songs
Ghost towns goes perfect with The long dark
This was really well done, thank you!
Ninja bear! Lol!
Quite a journey. Thank you sir! o7
Just started my first survival run (on pilgrim lol) and this is pretty inspiring to watch. Can't wait until I'm ready for interloper.
Good luck man. It’s so hard that most veteran players can’t even get passed the first 10 days. You’ll be ready once you’ve mastered the 55km map, and are familiar with every little trick in the game.
Best of luck!
My first run was interloper and I got to say it wasn't that bad
Amazing achievement dude, and great vid! Keep up the good work!
great video, awesome journey in TLD , thank you Zak
never heard of this game, was googling "interloper" because of nms. clicked for the shit and giggs, stayed for the amazing content. well done sir 👏
Zak amazes me. He’s always able to just keep his cool in the most tense situations.
love the video man. even better with radical face in it. good stuff
epic journey.. high quality production.. thank you for the ride
I watch this video often, not because of your amazing survival skills lol.
The video and the track complement each other.
I finally subed :)
Congratulations on your Interloper achievement.
dude well done! Such a sick vid
Brilliant video, really enjoyed the music!
What a journey! This is so intimidating yet inspiring to watch.
Awesome montage, awesome achievement!
Incredible man. Congratulations. Excellent music choice as well
i really like the music, the whole thing feels so cinematic!
This is so amazing, I'm at a loss of words. Wonderful video
This is the best video I have seen in my whole youtube life! Thank you for this, I enjoyed it so much.
This is amazing. Like the song and the video combination so much ;___; thank you!
@zaknafein You are the definitive youtuber for The Long Dark, I love watching your content. By the way, your archery skills are insane!
Inspiring,and it put a smile on my face. I remembered why I started playing this game in the first place.
This video got me hooked on the game! love the song choice 👌still trying for 500 days
Appreciate the song its been one of my favorites since i discovered it from you
Congrats!
So good & so funny, Zak's style 👌❤
a feat few will achieve. awesome job man!
This Video is an Inspiration for me. What a great Journey. Music + Cut Just awesome.
A true masterpiece.
Super cool, dude! I just got this game a few weeks ago and I beat the story mode last night. I’m now on day 9 of a voyageur playthrough. I’m so jealous of your bow skills!
This video is so calming
That glitchy bear reminded me of one time when I shot a sleeping bear and it launched up into the sky and just never came back down I think he's a star now
You pick the best songs for your montages. I don't twitch but love your youtube videos. Thanks zak
You've got some great techniques I plan to 'borrow'....love the blizzard signs....great video!
I had the same matrix bear at timberwolf mountain, but I was jumping in and out of the mountaineers hut. That sucker took off with five of my arrows, didn't leave any footprints and checking the stats for two days after - he never bled out and died, either.
So chill
You make interloper look easy, great job on surviving 500 days!
Loved this , you the G.O.A.T.
very well done zak
The huge sigh at the end says it all. ❤
Thanks for video. Greetings from Turkey.
Skills! Sweet video.
Nice to see someone else get the Stone Age Sniper achievement. I got mine during my first playthrough of Wintermute. There's a section after leaving the ravine (in which Mackenzie's plane crashed) where the game introduces you to hunting rabbits, and I managed to get really lucky with a spur-of-the-moment throw.
Pretty cool to see you got it so far into an Interloper run. I've yet to do one of those, but I'll always relish that moment, even if it was on the easiest difficulty in the easiest gamemode.
I just figured out why i was so likely to get lost in the long dark when my visibility is low.
You can actually see a little further in the corners of your screen.
You are very likely to wander off.
Awesome. TLD is always a journey. Nice melancholic music btw 👍🙋♂️
what a great video
This is incredible. I've been following this game since early alpha, but I'm nowhere near this experienced. I one day hope to achieve this goal as well.
Impressive stuff man the bow shots were great and evading the bear. Closest I got was 341 killed by a wolf!
Amazing!!
Maaan this vid give me hope to start 500 days challenge. very good montage :)
Awsome video
Okay 3 things...
1. That CH bear encounter u had the movement on him lol juked him good!
2. The transition from applying bandage to starting fire during the timberwolf encounter.. gold!
3. The instant spawn bear long distance moving tsrget shot was absolutely a thing of beauty!
Great work! This is so much harder to do than it seems! (I've never made it a week on interloper lol)
5 months ago^ lol.. I've watched this a few times .. I thought it was longer ago than that
Well done sir.
Matrix bear cracked me up
Nice job
The song choice was perfect.
well done sir...
Nice!
this is great!! - Yen
1:56 that clip right there, is basically the definition of movement god tho
Man u r da best 🥺
Lasted a 112 days in interloper.... accidentally froze to death sleeping in a car when the wind shifted in a blizzard, fire went out. Slept to long, knew I shouldn't, but did it anyway.... :(
I left Mystery Lake going to Milton on Pilgrim.
I climbed the last rope and a blizzard came out of nowhere. I walked in a 360 off the same cliff :)
RIP 70 days!
@@gtarascals3532 that hurts oof, im on a medium run rn, having bear and wolk cloth and otherwise also full attire, currently waiting on my moose sachtle to finally cure, currently in 66 days :)
@@idkhowtheyfoundme nice! Don’t take any risk cause you have to out live me.
Dink go out in the dark lol
Edit: Don’t•
@@gtarascals3532 i already got food pisioning 3 times in a row and was stuck with broken rips and EXACTLY enough rose hips for 4 teas after i wasted my pain killers in broken railroad (where i am still, but man max 15 kg with ribs is so painful)
@@idkhowtheyfoundme now imagine you had to get away from a wolf in that condition!
I usually drop all non essentials and come back for them later.
There’s a bag pack in Ash Canyon that increases your carry weight by 5kg.
I hope you’re still alive. lol
Now just to get 500 days on as the dead sleep. Cool video. Well edited.
Thank you! I have done ATDS but not invested in a long run yet. I know kimiota did it for 500 days but its a bit of a grind with lots of fishing. Maybe one day I will do it :)
I discovered this song and this band on your vidéo and l non stop listening it..All your videos are helpfull or just really pleasant to watch. You are my long dark hero !
Sry for my certainly Bad english :/
Congrats man been playing for years and I've never gotten that far
great job against the bear at bleak inlet!
Radical face fits this game so well
i love how he uses ghost towns by radical face its a nice touch
This is peak the longest dark.
Nice , i gather materials to make my main base also at trappet cabin , i love that locations
Music just beautiful and video to o. I like this type of videos on tour channel!
It took him 278 days to get stone age sniper, and stupidly enough it was my first achievement and first rabbit kill i ever got in this game. Wasnt aware of its difficulty until seeing so much material on it
I've made it to the 500 day mark, but never on Interloper..... respect.
Just finished my own 500 days, still going. GG
Hahaha... laughed so hard at matrix bear.
Great!
i cried
