  • 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:

    5:03 Tip #4: Find and pick up your arrows
    6:48 Tip #5: Don't take risks when you don't have to
    8:28 Tip #6: Use found meds, but save the stims for emergencies

    All content is correct and verified as of v.1.93, but is subject to change.
    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.

    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…

    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.

      @realglutenfree 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

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.

  • @seriouslyslinky1420
    @seriouslyslinky1420 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

    • @Zaknafein
      @Zaknafein  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

    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’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.

    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!

    • @Zaknafein
      @Zaknafein  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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:

    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.

    • @Zaknafein
      @Zaknafein  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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).

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.
