ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER || The Long Dark || Part 1

- Something is hunting survivors in The Long Dark and it’s not just the game’s usual wildlife. Running from October 29th to November 12th The Long Dark players will be stalked by a mysterious entity in our latest Halloween Event:
ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER.
As you’re playing the event feel free to talk about it and share your best survival times on our forums, or on social media using the hashtag #DARKWALKER.
To help you survive for as long as possible in this event we’ve put together this information. Follow them and you may delay your death a little while longer.
Starting Out
Your character will begin near an abandoned camp where you’ll find an introductory collectible item along with supplies to start you out scattered around a burned out campfire.
You have fifteen (15) minutes without being hunted by the Darkwalker to prepare yourself in any way that you wish. At the end of the fifteen minutes the Darkwalker will appear in the region and begin to hunt you.
Surviving
As with any game of The Long Dark you have to manage your cold, hunger, and other aspects of your Condition to ensure your survival.
As the Darkwalker nears, your character will experience a series of disturbing effects that will make survival increasingly difficult. These effects mostly disappear as you get more distance from the Darkwalker.
An inescapable Toxic Fog follows the Darkwalker spreading throughout the region you’re in threatening not only you, but also wildlife, and even your food supply.
Your main defense is to spray-paint Glyphs which offer a couple of tools for dealing with the Darkwalker.
Event Camps with green fire offer refuge from being hunted by the Darkwalker as well as vital information about what it is that’s hunting you, so be sure to search the Camps carefully.
Game Over
There are two badges to win during the Event.
Players who manage to survive one hour will be awarded the Umbra Badge.
Those that manage to find six of the ten diary pages from the EVENT CAMPS will win the Deadly Dreamer Badge.
The Game Over screen will show the time survived plus your longest time survived, allowing you to share that with The Long Dark community. Post in on our forums, on social media, or elsewhere using the hashtag #DARKWALKER to show off your best times.

I always thought to myself that long dark would make for an excellent horror game with its atmosphere. I can't tell you how much regret I had at trying this at 2 am for the first time. I essentially panicked the moment I realized those thuds are not in fact ambient noise and ran face first into a moose near carter dam, got appropriately trampled and needed a fresh pair of pants.
The game mode wont work for me and i have a version of the game that is identical to the build everyone is using to play darkwalker, im confused? do i need to beat the game or any challnges?
Accurize leaves a hot coffee for the Darkwalker at the campfire just to let him know he's picked the wrong man to fool with. Liam Neeson preparedness : )
I just don’t want to hear him making excuses as he dies. I wasn’t going to make a big thing about it, but you happened to notice. 🧐🤪👍
Im the 69th like.... Nice
“I know you come for me. Want a cup of coffee?” - Friendly Liam Neeson, probably
How creepy would it be if there was no warning or anything and it was just this looming presence. Like you're playing as you normally would but some things just don't add up. Noises outside your building in the middle of night; quick darts across your screen, things clearly being moved or misplaced, etc. That would genuinely be one of the scariest pieces of work ever created with how unparalleled the lonesome atmosphere is portrayed in the base game.
I switched off the lights, put on my headphones, and set my tower-fan in my direction for my first playthrough. My heartbeat instantly sped up as I searched for supplies and a place to bunker down (not knowing if it could enter buildings or not) and just before the 15 minutes ran out, I warded the entrance to where I was camped. I was looking for an enemy, not realizing it was invisible, or how wide the ward radius was, etc. Very intense/suspenseful horror experience.
I decided "I'll get my mum to try it, for the same experience."
So I gave her the headphones, turned off my lamp, and waited to see what she would do...
As it happened:
*saw wolf loading icon*
"Aw, that's a cute fox!"
*ran past the starting supplies*
"I love the crunching snow sound"
*ran off a cliff*
This is brilliant.
The gods of TLD have finally answered your prayers...
"Here you go Accurize, have a basically pointless gun cleaning kit."
Lol irony is thick here
@@Accurize2 Keep looking, you'll find a gun. There's often a rifle in the back seat of the car you searched when you first entered CH. You probably can afford to take a little extra time to search things for better gear then you have been. So far the thing hasn't even gotten close to you yet. I'll be trying this mode when the next weekend comes and I have a bit more time for gaming. My main concern with this mode is getting trapped by the entity in a single exit area.
Wills dream is a useable outhouse!😂😂Different focus, although one does wonder if it will be needed as badly soon😂😂
I don't think I'm brave enough to do this myself.
Same dude same
As someone who doesn't like jump scares or horror games/movies I can say this isn't actually that scary it's more eerie and spooky than scary if the Darkwalker gets close it gives a proximity counter and if it kills you the screen just goes black and it say that the Darkwalker consumed you no jump scares or anything just an eerie atmosphere. It is actually really fun.
same but i might try it
it is so tempting but the thought of the walker slowly but surely following you terrifies me
It's stressful cos of the time and you have to move constantly but you don't see any monsters or scary stuff like that
In case you didn’t already know, the Darkwalker moves in real time. So if you sleep for 10 hours, it will have only moved for a few seconds.
actually when you sleep it still comes at you but the anxiety kicks in and wakes you up before it attacks....
Never seen that happen yet. How did it not reach me in 10 hours then??
@@Accurize2 because it has to stalk / find you first but you will see. If/when you sleep and you suddenly find yourself awake with interrupted sleep with that proximity county counting closer as it comes....you will know. hahaha
@@Accurize2 because it moves in real time, not in game time
I have not spoiled myself with other people's game play just so I could watch yours. Very hyped!!
I actually haven't watched any videos either, I played it myself! Very fun and, terrifying.
I haven't seen this channel before, so now you have me hyped.
You can keep moving while holstering the storm lantern, don't even have to stop, def saves time then. Got both badges for this event earlier today on my first try, it's actually fairly easy once you get over the fear :) Linear chokepoints after entering a new region, where you can't avoid the entity, were the hardest part. I literally threw myself off the cliff after transitioning to Milton from ML, got within about 60 feet of it I think.
FYI: 1 badge is to survive 1hr in RLT. The 2nd badge and feat is when you get 6 notes (aka actually 7 cause of the spawn in note) So there is a total of 2 badges and 1 feat. Have fun!!!!
@Pj Mack Actually there is a feat too. (Dark Walker feat) Once you unlock the 2nd badge of 6 notes that is when you get that feat too. check your feats you will find that it is the first one.
@Pj Mack I think it gives you more energy by night and less by day feat...
@Pj Mack It's alll good no worries! I didn't know it either till it happen to me.
Slender style nice
Literally as im thinking "i wonder if accurize has done the community event"... well here it is!
The lure is apparently strong enough that the Darkwalker will go past you to get to it. Would be a very good idea to not be in its direct path though unless you have no choice (do or die). A spray can is good for four uses. Since only one lure and one ward can be active at any time, it might be an idea to strategically waste a lure now and again. Draw the Darkwalker to where you are leaving as the situation may be.
I think the Darkwalker when it spawns in any region or zone starts in the center or mid-point and then moves towards you, but it may have to reach the transition point before it does so, if one can delay its arrival there, then there is more time to move or rest. Maybe.
That's s great idea, I'll buy that for a dollar.
Don't forget to check the cars. I found a rifle in the back seat of one and they usually have flares and pretty good loot. Especially when you have the crowbar too.
Dude this game gives me anxiety already as it is. I cannot IMAGINE playing this lol
I watched a TLD video some time ago and the guy explained a scenario he went through as police officer, the only things I can remember from the story are it was winter and there was a gun shot. Is this you? If so, glad I found you again! Love the content!
Suicidal 14 year old kid stole his grandpa’s gun, left a suicide note on where to find him and test fired the gun in some woods behind the high school. I happened to be blacked out on the lot (pretty well invisible) when I heard the shot. I went to see what it was about and the kid was almost crying, said he had a gun, he was the one who fired the shot and kept reaching as if he had a gun in his back waistband...I think trying to get me to shoot him. I almost did twice. But then I took him down to the ground and he complied completely after that until my backup arrived to cuff him. Yep that was me. That kid is doing great now and sent me a Christmas card the next winter. ❤️👍
what episode was this
cuz I vaguely remember this too
Reading this brings that episode right back to memory, the way you told the story on that episode was so real. I could feel the emotion in your voice. Not trying to be corny! I just remembered this the other day when you were talking about your wife’s night at work with 3 surgeries and how both of you work 12 hour shifts. And it was your night with your children. It clicked! You and your wife sound like a true blessing to your community and family! Keep up the good work!
@@Accurize2 As I recall your story, the gun was in his coat pocket. You asked him why he kept reaching around to his back and he said that he was pulling his pants up.
@@flooferfox2407 I believe it’s episode 1 of his Year In The Dark series.
I feel like this was sort of a missed opportunity to have like a full on skin walker terrorise you while you play, though I haven't finished the series yet obviously so I could like this more in the end
A modified Darkwalker mode should be toggle-able for Sandbox, like Auroras. When selected, every night there is a very small chance the Darkwalker will show up and hunt you until dawn. If you survive the night, you have a week grace period or so before the risk comes back. It would make a nice replacement for the ridiculous cabin fever affliction; An actual legitimate reason to leave shelter during a blizzard or when in low health conditions. It would also add an extra dimension of challenge to the game because you might be trying to recover from a moose attack, or lost, or starving, and then when you least expect it, here comes the Darkwalker forcing you to run out into a blizzard...
Its currently broken, if he spawns in an exit cave you cant ever get him to de-spawn so if you leave a 2nd will spawn and your trapped
I wrote the support about that, they said it's intended and I should try using a lure... the second time the "two" walkers had me trapped in a cave I used the lure at the entrance and hid in a dead end to try and let it pass, but when it reached 10 m proximity my screen just went black until it reached me.
5/6 notes found, just before the last one. Yeah, I don't know how to pass a cave with the thing inside.
@@BerndosMusic, ohhhh that is devilish. Okay now that I know that that's actually not the worst thing. Thank you!
Sounds like slender man. Have to collect the notes before he catches you
It would be scarier if the countdown wasn’t there... the anxiety of “has it been 15 minutes yet?!” Would completely freak me out lmao
Hell no im not playin this, this is much more scary than i thought. Even regural feels scary with bears and wolfis specialy when they spawn ontop of you.
i just found your channel today and watched your newest long dark series but its pretty great, but have a wonderful day to you and everyone else here!
Welcome. Glad you found us. Thanks for the kind words and you have a nice day also!
Yes! another upload already!
It will be done uploading in a few more hours. You must have seen it pending in the playlist.
Wow they tried to sneak a 20 minute ad in this video. Looking forward to the rest of this event.
Hahaha Atheenon (streamer) tried flare and pistal straight at it's face....just before it devoured him it showed us it's true face!!! That was an awesome clip!
with your permission? Here is the clip when he went dead on with the DW...... (feel free to delete in case this violates any rules?) www.twitch.tv/atheenon/clip/SlipperyFunWallabyYee
I know this is old, but I'm just watching it cause I miss this event thing, but when you said that animals won't flee from it. It reminded me that when I played I was being chased by it and a bear. But once he got warning close the bear dropped dead and was decayed(or had moldy meat) when I looped back around
It’s incredibly obvious to me how advantageous it is to you because you’re so familiar with all the maps. (Btw, quickly hitting M to bring up the map will show you how much toxic fog is in your area, in case someone else didn’t mention it)
Loving this so much, and thank you for your service to your community!
The map also shows the locations of the green campfires.
I love the long dark but my pc is too weak so is the console release worth it?
Edit: to anyone reading this happy halloween and I wish good health to you and your family
I’ve double dipped only because I wanted to play TLD without booting up my pc. So I got it for the PS pro and so far I haven’t experienced any crashes, the frame rate tends to dip when you are overlooking a lot of terrain, but otherwise it seems stable. The only big thing is playing on a controller you are way more sluggish than a mouse but it’s never been too big an issue for me, only when an animal is charging me has it ever been tough.
I got the Nintendo switch version, and it runs great. The load tines could be shorter, but aside from that it's a great port. Especially when you consider that the switch is one of the lesser powerful consoles of this generation. It's great being able to play TLD anywhere.
Console version works great I would absolutely recommend it
i’ve only had it on my xbox since 2015 and it’s worth it for me! i have had very minimal problems.
Thanks dude i wish the same for you and everyone😃
Watched Paul Soars Jnr’s run first. His was a giggle, I knew yours would be a more serious run and I don’t know if Hadrian has done one. Awesome content, thank you.
You finally found a cleaning kit Accurize! Too funny cause you never swear
I play the game and I love it but listening to your comments while you play is awesome bud.
When you found that Firearm cleaning Kit. I may have laughed a bit too loud. If I’ve ever heard a “Are you serious “ moment. That was definitely it.
Oh man, the anxiety of not knowing what to expect! Glad it's just me and you're as calm as ever lol! Thanks for playing this special event, so much fun!
This fellas voice really reminds me of the voice actor for deer hunter 2 from back in the day.
I am always here for more The Long Dark content! Happy Halloween Accurize. Make sure you eat every chocolate bar you find.
Playing on Normal mode for you is pretty much you playing with Cheats. HAHA! Love the videos!
Oh yes I love your Long Dark series, all of it. I survived real life 1.3 hours haha. It was pretty cool but I got cornered at the end
@@TidalShemtov I need to give it another go
Awesome dude. I was really hoping you'd play this event. Not sure if I'm not too scared to do it myself 😅😂
This game already scares me sometimes. Now that there is a fucking monster chasing you down in the fog i don't think i can do it
Lol same
I'd have nightmares playing this even though I m decent at this game wish you luck btw when u go to another map the darkwalker will be on your tail
Already switched maps once from DP to CH. still no warning alerts/anxiety/panic from our character...maybe he’s popping beta blockers from Project Zomboid!!! Lol
FYI...it is fun to watch the wild life actually die due to toxic fog! but be careful the Toxic fog will actually destroy your food and water supplies too .
Yep. I think I mentioned that near the beginning. Maybe not, it could have been one of the recordings I started on BR that crashed. 🤷♂️
You can use map for navigation and finding campfires.
Can't wait for the next episode! ;)
kept waiting for will's dang ankles to break.
I lasted for about an hour yesterday, and holy crap is this terrifying! My hands would not stop shaking!
Great stuff. At the rate you're moving, I don't see how it could catch you. Thanks for sharing!
I've seen a few early playthroughs of this and it gets really creepy and really intense at times! I don't believe in anything supernatural, but the dark and an overactive imagination are still powerful enough to mess with me at times. Do you have any ghostly tales from the job Accurize?
No ghostly tales. I have the exact same perspective as you. We did have a UFO sighting recorded by the other sergeant on his cruiser cam though. I posted it on my Twitter page about two years ago. I’ll track it down one of these videos, talk about it, and add it to the very end for everyone to see. It was totally bizarre. I definitely don’t think some sort alien contact is outside of reality though.
Sweet was hoping you would do an episode of this.
@Gappie Al Kebabi ?
I just did 1hour 35 minutes before it got me. I was chased by 2 wolves and saw another one. I don't know the maps as well as I should, but I think I did ok for my first attempt. Can't wait for your next episode.
I was positive the thing was gonna get you during that 10hr rest, and that's why the video was short lmao
When I first saw the announcement for this event, I loved the idea and was excited to see you play it. I'm only on my second survivor mode playthrough, so I barely know how to navigate anywhere yet. I hope you'll do a few runs in this mode - trying different strategies, spawn points or challenging yourself in different ways.
Honestly it's so nice to not have to deal with peppy cheerleader youtubers, and just have a regular, modest, honest guy. Thanks bro
i really love ur videos!!! can u try to play shelter and paws? thank u som much for existing lol hope u have a great day!!
I was waiting for your episode on this! I'm betting you outrun the monster and get all the notes (so long as the game doesn't crash out)
Thanks for this! Waited for you to play this event! AWESOME!
I was hoping you would be playing this, super excited
This is amazing! thank you for playing this so I don’t have too 😂 super good!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for playing this. I'm too scared to do it.
there's no way in hell i'm good enough at this to last long but i'm gonna like and enjoy watching you try at it! :)
gosh, i wanted to watch this at night but i couldn't resist the intrige.
My game kept crashing when I tried to exit the Trappers Homestead in ML , so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one having problems.
Me too.. Lol misery loves company.
Reminds me of the bear challenge :)
this creeps me out and im not even playing
It crashed for my Xbox one too, I’m forever trapped running in circles from the darkwalker in there and I’m running out of glyphs
hey !!! not checking the shades... all in a hurry now:) happy halloween:)
I JUST NOW, thanks to you, learned that you can sleep! My best run yet is an hour 39 minutes without sleeping, ffs!
This is a really good game and really good update for it. P.S you’ve been uploading a lot and keep up the good work.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Thank you! I was waiting for you to make a video on this so I can understand how the event works because I'm a noob at this game🙃
They should add a thing that hunts you at night in survival mode you can kill it off but it hard
damnit. thought the music went super intense and all and you just didnt hear it and i paused the vid just to come to that mom is baking cinamon buns. it sounded so alike tho
@Accurize, have you ever done the "As the Dead Sleep" challenge? I think you're a better player than I (I've never really ventured into Loper before) and it's pretty challenging / I am screwing some things up a bit, but it's also forcing me to grow in ways I've never had to before. I think my newfound joy is throwing lit torches and hitting wolves in the face, lmao.
Anyway I would get a kick out of seeing you run it.
This guys underrated

Your are kicking bottom! Great job!
I had no idea the dark walker froze when you slept, I thought no sleep was part of the challenge lol
Btw you have fully opened map with fires and your position
I'm too scared to do this event myself so I was counting on Accurize to do it
darkwalker kind of makes me think of the wendigo.
This. Is. Fucking. Terrifying LOL. Idk why but anything that has a timer count down to it gives me THE WORST anxiety 🤣😧
I've never seen this before, this is cool
Hi! Will there be a third part? I'm curious if you're going to get all the notes! Love your channel. I'm a new subscriber!
This is actually scarier than Amnesia Rebirth lol
16:29 -16:34
Accurize turns into Bane, in a bit of a hurry ;) .
Always love you’re videos! Happy halloween I hope you and you’re family is well :)
If you beat the challenge, do you get to carry on your play through? If not, that would be a real good reward for 'winning'. Would make for a real solid start with all that loot.
So this is basically Metro 2033
Good run. There hasn't been mist yet, so if you are lucky you can re-enter Coastal from PV or the other way around. Have you thought out a route yet? ML to Mountain Town to Forsaken Forlorn or Bleak?
Is safe to sleep for 10hr, like you do at the end of this video? I was expecting for the Darkwalker to eat you in your sleep, and for this to be the end of the run... and to have to start a new run tomorrow.
From what I've been reading on the forums, the glyph wards (and signal fire wards) last about 2.5 hours and are the only truly safe time/places. So I think you should have used your time better at the Jackrabbit Island fire, slept for 1-2 hr if nothing else (could've repaired clothes, etc.)
BTW, I found a forum post that claims the following, so maybe it is "safe" to sleep like you did after all(?)
You can 'safely' sleep for 6-7 hours at the green fires. Yes, the fire will be gone by the time you wake up, but you should not be cold, and the extra rest (and thus energy for non-impeded movement) you get from that can be really important.
The Dark Walker will move towards you at its normal pace even when you sleep, but since DW's movement is real-time based, while sleeping is accelerated, there's no danger of you being eaten by it during your sleep (you'd wake automatically if it is 200 meters or closer).
Yay been waiting for you to play this!!!
Watched it with Paul SJ he survived for 50 min then gave up to the fog
Thx for the fast new video
Oh cool!!!! I was wondering if you were going to do this version!
Beatiful
nice vids keep up the good work
It really got me when i didn’t watch anything
I would try verifying you're installation. My Long Dark also kept crashing after updating. Verifying seemed to fix the issue.
Im already shitting myself when i see a wolf coming to me and groaring so what am i supposed to do with an invisible threat
yes
I have been waiting for this hahah🤩
So the dark walker is basically a really fucking scary windigo/skin walker (native legends)
I last 50 minutes. That said, I didn’t realise you could sleep and it stops the clock. You can imagine the mess I was in towards the end.
