You know a survival games gonna be good when the guide for the first few days is an hour long.
"don't get mountaineering rope, you never need it" that changed with the latest update. There's some critical to reach areas that you can ONLY reach by hauling and installing mountaineering rope, and areas of maps that you can ONLY access by rope climb. I'd say don't carry it with you at all times, but move it to a central, easy to reach location and make note of where you've left it so you can easily go back and get it if you find you need it to access somewhere important.
Thankyou, I will stop leaving it around
This game or subanautica???
@@jasondp3546 The Long Dark
Jason Ross this game have a ending or is it in episodes?
@@jasondp3546 Wintermute, the story mode, does have an ending, but the devs haven't developed that far yet. They've currently got 3 / 5 episodes done, with episode 3 being released just last October.
What norespawns is playing is Survival mode, which keeps going until your survivor dies.
I've had this game for years. Kudos to the developers for the work they keep putting into this game.
It's impressive how much Hinterland has improved this game.
@ActionGenesis ?
Good video and good tips! A couple extra tips from an "intermediate beginner" currently on my 3rd playthrough:
- Use charcoal often when exploring, it works better in daylight and at higher elevations (and can't be used in storms or fog). But don't hoard more than 5 or so pieces of it, item weight stacks faster than you'd expect. Also, it makes a few in-game minutes elapse so don't do it if predators are nearby
- You can sleep indoors safely if you have enough clothing and a bedroll, you don't have to have a fire, just check the "feels like " on your status screen
- Benefits from sleep get a bonus from consecutive hours, so if you can sleep 3-4 or more hours at a time it heals you more than as many 1-hour naps
- The hunting rifle (modeled on the legendary Lee-Enfield) is a good get, but it's heavy (4kg + ammo) and its damage, range, and accuracy have all been nerfed in this game compared to IRL, you have to get a headshot at what seems like short range to have a chance to 1-shot a deer
- If you wound a deer it will bleed out as it runs away and you can follow its blood trail to its carcass for harvesting, but be as prepared as you can be with "essential" survival items (water, fire materials, cloth/bandages, etc) in case it takes you a long time to track it. Also don't get too single-minded in your pursuit and let it lead you right into the jaws of a bear, which happened to me on my 2nd playthrough (rip)
- Accelerants are rare, save them for emergency firestarting. Failed fire-starting only uses up starter and tinder, doesn't cost you fuel unless it's successfully lit
- Don't take as many chances with travel at night or while overloaded as norespawns did, you probably won't have his luck or skill when starting out :)
Also, Hinterland devs, if you're reading, let players craft a sled or travois for hauling firewood or meat more efficiently over terrain plzkthx
1 year later and your tips are still being thankfully received! By me especially!!! Thank you!
Just a tip for new players looking for fun:
Don't worry too much about being efficient or scrounging every little thing. There's plenty of stuff to survive a few weeks and in all likelihood you'll die from something like a wolf attack or falling through ice.
1. Clothing. Immediately equip it. Good clothing almost makes fire unnecessary (for warmth)
2. Shelter. Some places are meant to be looted, others are meant as base camps. The new map mechanic helps a lot with navigation, etc.
3. As he says, time management, esp when you start a fire. Boil water, cook things. Unless they've changed it, tea and coffee provide warmth and calorie bonuses.
4. Keep in mind you might be trapped in a shelter for an entire day if there's a blizzard. Don't be afraid to stay indoors (this is realism).
5. Don't lug around water. 1 L is all you need, there are dozens of sodas laying around. Think of the fire resources as also providing water, wherever you are.
6. Don't lug around scrap metal or lots of wood.
Day 1: find clothes, scavenge a bunch, find shelter
Day 2: scavenge area around base camp
Day 3: explore! pick a direction and see what's there.
Day 4-5: look for a second base camp, primarily to round out your items. Knife, hatchet, can opener, lantern, gun. By now you should have really excellent clothing. Repair those up to full condition.
Around Day 7: done right you'll have excellent gear and two base camps. You can essentially hunker down, trying to hunt, fish, craft and settle in for the long haul. OR you can travel to a different map and repeat the process. IMO this is the most 'realistic' scenario. IRL you'd only need to survive 90 days or so until spring comes. It's been a while since I played but each map probably has 20-30 days of scavengable food, without any hunting.
One of the most fun things is feeling like you've mastered the environment. Great clothes, knowing instantly where you are on the map, things like being able to deal with emergencies. Blizzard? No problem I'm going to head for XYZ shelter. Wolves? I'm going to wait until they kill a deer and then shoot one!
Kinda late on this but I have done most of these this but with my clothes/hide and the rifle my weight is usually capped at 22 pounds making it hard to go and walk around and scavenge because I can't carry alot
@@memeaddict6712 managing weight is an advanced concept in this game. i learned from steam guides. couple tips
only carry 1 book of matches or the striker
only 1 antiseptic
2 bandages
1 bottle pain pill and antibiotic
1 flare
ditch the knife if you have a hatchet
0 extra lantern fuel
get rid of stones, crafting materials, charcoal, extra clothes
only the most efficient food (see guide)
1 tin can instead of cooking pot
@@sursurrus isn't the Knife useful though?
@@memeaddict6712 not really. faster skinning, maybe
Thanks you
Quarantine + xbox game pass just putting this game up, and I thought miracles dont happen.
@Marc Thornton same lol
Ikr... I'm downloading it right now I cant wait
Based 4life glhf mate
@@geanybetivu thank u
@@geanybetivu so far I love it
“Feels like a lot of gear” -disgruntled man. “That’s cause it’s a lot of gear, love. You’re also REALLY tired”. That was a pretty good line had me laughing
I noticed that you did not crouch often and that can be very usefull for finding small hidden items
Also from the get go, pick up sticks, and if you make a new player guide like this explain things in detail, this was just a play around with lots of stuff left unexplained.
Yes I’ve found a decent amount of stuff hidden in nooks and crannies
@@Sarge80 you mean you didn't learn anything when he was walking in the pitch dark? lol
@@MrCervasio1 Luckily i already played TLD for a year and a half before this *guide*. But i agree that totally black screen was kinda soothing hahaha
I’ve had the game for a few years and I didn’t know you could crouch 😃
I played The Long Dark in January 2015, and there was only one or two maps to play, but it is such a in-depth survival game. Great game. You don't necessarily get "comfortable" in this game, at least when I played, you literally just get by and survive. As soon as you felt like you were getting comfortable, then came the wolves. I survived 10 days on my longest run. I am not sure how easy it is now, but I've always wanted to go back.
There are still things that they could add if they wanted to. But since I am a programmer myself, I know from experience that the more you add to a program, the more bugs you're likely to have. Also, they might not want it to be TOO realistic, or people might start ignoring the warning at the start of the game. (You know, "please don't try this in real life".)
Here's an example, though. You know those hay bales on the farms? An 18-inch (46 cm) thick wall of hay has an insulation value of R-30 to R-35 (the typical attic is insulated to R-30). So if the game would let you, you could break up one of those hay bales and crawl under the loose hay for shelter from the cold.
Try 500 days!
@@SpearM3064 yea pro survivalist played tld and told about it
@@SpearM3064 In the Ep3 Wintermute update last Oct, they did make some hay piles act as a bed with a few decrees C warmth bonus.
@Nahte - I'd definitely recommend you give TLD another go. I'll give you the names of all the full regions available for you to explore, but will keep out any spoilers.
Full Regions:
- Mystery Lake
- Coastal Highway
- Forlorn Muskeg
- Mountain Town (aka Miltion)
- Hushed River Valley
- Pleasant Valley
- Broken Railroad
- Timberwolf Mountain
- Desolation Point
- Bleak Inlet (newest region, just added in Errant Pilgrim last Dec)
Small/Transitional Regions:
- The Ravine
- Winding River (aka Carter Dam and Environs)
- Crumbling Highway.
Each of these maps has its own set of challenges and opportunities. Some will be very wild with few manmade shelters or resources, but many natural shelters and resources, while others will have abundant manmade shelters and resources but few natural resources. Some regions will be warmer then others (or more accurately less cold), others will be bitterly cold. Some regions will have fairly stable weather that doesn't change so much, others will be unstable and the weather will seem like it's constantly shifting. Some regions will have relatively mild weather, others you will wonder if the blizzards, wind or fog will ever let up.
First game on voyager lasted 77 days
Tip: You can only get the worms (intestinal parasites) from eating Wolves and bears in Stalker and Interloper difficulty. So if you're still playing just Voyageur, it's very much worth eating wolf meat. Unlike deer, they come to you, and if you fight them off well enough (to the risk of your gear, but you'll get used to repairing it), if they bleed, they will eventually die. You'll know you got them if they leave blood drops as they run away. If you follow the blood, and stay close enough, you'll eventually hear them yelp then fall dead. When they're about to die, they'll walk much slower (do not approach them, a dying animal has nothing to lose and they will attack you again. wait til they drop dead) You just need to find the body and it'll be just as good as if you shot them. Hunting wolves with just a knife before you get a bow or gun is a valid strategy.
I honestly play with interloper setting but I turn off the wolfs and bears. The wolfs are such a pain in the as*. But I like having the other setting on hard to give some challenge. Lots of blizzards.
Youkon Dukon it's still a challenge surviving you just don't get attacked as much. Shoot a bear they still attack you, shoot a moose they still attack you even when they are turned to passive. I can't eat wolf or bear meat in the game. So I mostly rely on rabbit and moose. With rabbits I set up a trap line in pleasant valley. Pleasant valley gets constant storms, It's still a challenge. The wolfs constantly attacking just annoys the hell out of me and the game is built so once resources are gone you are screwed. It's all about management of resources. I use the magnifying glass to start fires but not always because I have storms set to high. I still get cabin fever, parasites those setting I have set to high. I'm a casual player, nothing serious so I set animals to passive. Everything else is interloper settings.
Forgot to say I also don't shoot moose or deer often. I mostly survive off rabbit which in real life isn't a good thing being they have a lack of fat. For trap lines the wood in rabbit traps is always reusable. You get intestines from rabbits. So that's how I survive. I don't rush deer near wolfs for an easy kill. If I need to kill one which is rare I use either the bow or gun. My whole game I literally survive only collecting sticks and rabbits. I get my essential furs and that's it. Make a fire every couple days to stock pile cooked meat and leave it outside.
I found that if you shoot something close to base and it runs off, just go sleep for one hour if you can. when you go back outside, it will be dead and not far from where you shot it rather than chase it all over
bro he has literally shown it in the video 😩😭
Cool to see you playing this game. This is the most brutal survival game I've ever played, especially on interloper. Long Dark is the first, and only, game I've ever played that the elements are just as dangerous, if not more so, than the enemies. Extremely well done indie game that I highly recommend to anyone who likes survival games.
Honestly I’ve died of a pack of wolves once, died to the cold or starvation 20 times at least
As a Canadian who spends a lot of time in the woods and has a love for survival skills IRL this is great and hope you all are enjoying exploring our great land!
3 days in hit a bear in the face with a rock....... proudly ran for my life
😂😂😂
6 days in, shot a bear in the head killed it..died bc I ate it's meat raw.
I was a few days in, all I had was a revolver. In the middle of a storm, starving, and thought I saw a deer. Fired two shots - oh god it’s a moose. Short play through that time.
Lol i just started and got mouled by a deer
@@plopvetklepkabouter6412 First time i tried this game on Pilgrim, i came straight from playing games like garden paws XD I shot a Moose with a rifle on day 5, but it took me 17 shots!. And it took such a long time, because i didn't dare to go down from this rock in Milton. I nearly froze to death too. XD
This guide was really helpful. I do like how calm he is and that he explained that hypothermia is not as dangerous as I initially thought. I was panicking and starting fires left and right.
Just found this game today so this is a year late. Saw someone playing the 4th version of it. So glad I found your channel. I love your intelligent risk taking game style. It makes for very entertaining vids. I dislike players that are afraid of everything...night, wolves, sprains, cold. You are raring to go and I love it. "You'll be fine mate ..."
Got this game for free on Epic and i love it so much ! Thank you for your advices that are very useful for a beginner like me. I would love to see more videos of you playing this game, because you seem chill and your voice is easy to listen.
rabbit shots arent as hard as it seems... cross-heir is actually just above the thumb
This is a next level tip
Also they are unrealistically docile, if you're crouched they will hop almost right up to you (causing me to feel that much more sad having to snap their cute necks)
Cross-hare 😂
@@jameswinn1249 "cRoSS - HaiR"... lOL
@@jameswinn1249 this tickled me
@norespawns - update on the bait mechanic, since October that mechanic is no longer a reliable way of hunting or deterring wolves. Normal wolves will often just wander off when you drop the bait, or if you drop bait but are still smelly, will continue after you and ignore the bait. Timberwolves (newly added to survival mode since Errant Pilgrim) will always ignore bait, and once they spot you, you'll be in a "pack fight" where the whole pakc of 2-5 timberwolves will try to surround you, and wear you down by either making you run, or dowing swipe attacks where they don't go full wolf struggle but inflict (mostly) minor damage to soften you up first, then go for the full wolf struggle (though they can also go for that right away too). The timberwolf encounter won't end until you've broken the moral of the full pack, which you do by throwing stones at them, or shooting one of your weapons at them (and get your throw/shot close enough to scare them a bit), or if you hit one, it'll break their moral faster. You can also kill them, which seems to do the most to break pack moral, or you can snipe them from afar before they engage and can temprarily break pack moral very quickly.
TLD is a very different game since you seem to have last played it.
Extra tip about hunting bunnies (and hunting in general) if you can, crouch while approaching and aiming at your prey, you can get in much closer without them running off and that makes your shot/throw much easier. Otherwise good tip about bunnies being a good early source of food. (the only time I don't crouch when aiming is when I'm using the bow and haven't gotten my character good enough to aim while crouched. With stones, rifle, revolver and distress pistol, aiming while crouched is never a problem.
20:53 dude you being happy made me happy that earned a like
Loved this! Nice job man, some good tips in here. I have a quick tip too. Before I leave a room I often crouch down and move around the room in a circle just to see if I can see any more supplies. It often works and is always worth that extra minute! Plus, if you see an armchair you may want to look in the sides and corners - The Long Dark loves to hide things around chairs and in crates!
Sorry if you said this and I just didn't catch it in the video but I found these tips helpful in all of my playthroughs :)
25:24 "cheddar logs" cracked me up
Lol yeah. For those interested... See-Dar, or see-der is the way it is normally known. But imma go with Cheddar.
Just started watching this now and THANK YOU!!!!More please.... this is so helpful!! I’m doing the storyline and looking for a crowbar. Arggghhh.lol thank you so much for this. Everyone else I watch does the interloper and for newbies it’s too hard..helpful but....thanks again!!!
Look behind toilets and on shelves and behind the stove in fishing hut
I remember I was just made it from the the crumbling highway to costal made it to trappers cabin found a rifle was very exited to started shooting things then I slept then it said you have faded into the long dark 😭😭
😆😆😆 that sucks, been there myself. Have died a few times literally on the stairs of my base camp in pleasant valley. I always choose pleasant valley to live because I can set up a trap line for rabbits and a moose is always in timber wolf mountain or I sleep a few days outside and catch one not far from the barn.
How did you die just from sleeping?
@@flakdampler11 he was probably bitten by wolves and uncured, or was food poisoned, or does one die from hypothermia? Lol
Where you food poisoned
@@flakdampler11 he probably slept outside thinking it was safe but then blizzard came in thats what happened to me
One of my favorite ways to begin a game is to start in the Forlorn Muskeg. It's harsh, it really sucks if there's a blizzard and I'm not even wearing a jacket (or I fall through the ice because of said blizzard making me get lost), but if I can get to the forge, find a hammer, grab some clothes along the way (sometimes there's at least 2 pieces in the dresser in the house ruins to the north), it can be so worth it to spend the night making arrow heads, maybe an extra knife, get some dog food from the crate there, and still come away with some extra coal (or leave it for later). Then I move on to Mystery Lake where it seems the easiest to find the saplings to make the bow and arrows. This is especially a good idea if you're working on the achievement to not fire a gun/rifle for the first 50 days.
I used to play this game. But it’s been a while ... this walk through helped so much jumping me back in. Loaded it up this morning..
Enjoyed your video a lot. Looking forward to another! Subbed up ✅
I just bought this game on Steam. It's awesome. Only played about 2 hours so far. You really feel like you are freezing or getting warmer when you build a fire. I actually felt a little scared when the snow kicked up and I couldn't see around me.
Have a Merry Christmas, Davey! Hope you have lots of colored lights, 'cause I know how much you like them! 🎄🎄🎄
I've been a subscriber since your Fallout 4 build videos(I still think you're the best TH-cam builder). I really couldn't believe you started playing Long Dark, since I've been playing it for awhile now.
Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for this tutorial/walkthrough. I just bought the game, and I didn't want to go in completely blind, so, once again, thank you.
Dana G
Im on the same page just 5 months later
when you explained the Aurora and how it works, i went into my game and unpaused it, passed some time in the trailers at the logging camp, and then it seemed light out so i canceled it and noticed all the lights were on and went outside to see the Aurora. perfect timing lol also its beautiful to see
The game has "Carrington Event" type geomagnetic episodes? IRL world they are caused by particular Solar cycles, such as like Grand Solar Maximums coronal mass ejections of plasma blasting the Earth or in grand solar minimum the earths geomagnetic field is weaker and the field limit gets pushed further down towards the planet surface by cosmic radiation and cme's can then break through easier into interaction with surface electrical systems.
I love your videos. I started watching your settlement builds videos when FO4 came out. I also love your narration. ty for posting this one on the Long dark. It IS a very good game.
This was great, looking forward to seeing more of this
That rope attaches to a stone about 5m away, which is the fastest route to the other fire tower (if you’re unencumbered).
5 meters in what direction?!!!! Really wish i had know that
Feels like a lot of gear...
"That's cause it's a lot of gear love."
Haha! The narration is great.
OMG, the POT!
@@pandarue - Funny thing, right in the middle of the video soon as he forgot it up by the busted outlook, I also came down looking to see if anyone noticed as I did. :)
Bloody brilliant. I’m hoping to see more long dark from you mate. Big fan.
The Mountaineering Rope is a tricky thing, it's very heavy and a pain to lug around, you only need them in a few regions and they are usually not located near where you need them, it's best to learn the maps, and when you do need them, and store it in a central location where you remember where it is. I have had some runs where I never needed a rope at all, but if you are in Timberwolf Mountain or 2 other key areas you will need one to get around. You can also steal and borrow ropes from other climbing areas to use elsewhere.
Managing the game as a somewhat experienced player these starter tutorials are relaxing to watch :D
The "warned you" was great haha. And it's pronounced "see-der" wood.
Clay Kalmar as a Wisconsinite that lives around Cedar trees, hearing “Chedar wood” was painful.
Will Mayo
I’m from NC and it’s painful to me too.
@@willmayo5599 wisconsin mentioned
Same tho 😂
New to your channel. Even though I've player 100+ hours of The Long Dark I still have found new tips here.
It is really relaxing to watch and listen to you play, you have a good voice for it.
However, if you were to go into an area I've not been to yet, I will not watch. The Long Dark has too much spoilers for that kind of thing. But I sure will stick around
Bought this game because of this video, hasn't disappointed!
As much as I like survival and the style of this game, the sound design sketches me out with its creaks and snaps. I’m always thinking there’s a wolf about.
25:24 Cheddar wood LOL. Pronounced as "see-der" or "see-duh" if you're British.
I think I'm having my best play through right now. I started at Mystery Lake and found a rifle in one of the train cars that derailed. I have 15 rounds of ammo, a hatchet and knife, a whetstone, and the best part of all I killed a deer and three wolves right outside my house with my rifle. That's a bunch of food and resources that I just have sitting right outside. I'm about to move up to the dam and do a full scavenge of that area but my plan is to keep my base of operations there until my food supply runs out. I don't need to think of food basically ever again but my plan is to keep my base of operations there until my food Supply runs out. I don't need to think of food basically ever again.
Nice walkthrough, good one Davey!
I was waiting for corpses to unfreeze and start rotting in that hut ;) Technically it would be a meat for free if you were in extremely dire situation but I suppose no such thing in-game.
Dark as hell but your mind is in the right place
those corpses terrify me for no reason
I played the console free trial a while back and absolutely loved it.
I've been playing it about 4 years now and it's definitely one of my top ten of all time. I hope you get a full copy and keep enjoying it. :)
Ive been playing this for a while it's a really good game am glad youve done a video on it
Every time I played survival mode I always get killed by bears or wolves with few weeks worth of food, meds, fuel, crafting materials, and spare clothing stashed somewhere. I think at normal difficulty 99% of deaths are caused by animal attacks rather than starvation or illness.
great video! i can't be the only person who promptly froze to death and got disheartened with this a few years ago, going to have another crack at it soon.
So basically, in this game rabbit morsels are anti-wolf countermeasures, like releasing chaff when a missile is on your six.
So many good tips thanks
Like the little bits of meat idea i have played for ages and never knew that
I bought this game soon after watching your video looks like fun
would like to thank you for your input, you did leave a cooking pot on the mountain at the broken tower, just a thought
Love this game not been on it for months but watching your video might jump back on it
Ill have a watch i lasted about 1 hr last night on first attempt with absolutely no knowledge of the game 👍 i kept hearing good things and enjoy survival genre etc so finally got it.
No wolf grace periods in Stalker or Interloper modes, I have been killed by wolves and bears in my first 5 minutes of a run before, not to mention freezing to death looking for matches or shelters, The bunkers spawn only one per region randomly, Interloper has no bunker spawns at all except for the cache by Timberwolf Mountain entrance which is always there in all modes.
Yeah, always keep an eye out for that cheddar wood. A nice Brie bush is also a good find.
Just started playing this game cause it was “kinda free” with PS+, it’s amazing I can’t stop playing it.
Rifle is so funny and the business owners have been an amazing and awsum family member
now that its fixed properly it is a good game. I played it in September and spent maybe 50 hours figuring it out. very inthralling!
17 minutes in when he tells the tree "up your" big mood I highly feel that
At 18:32 was that a sleeping deer/caribou or carcass? after few seconds we see another deer hopping along but I would think the sleeping or dead deer would be useful for something.
Unless he just didn't see it.
3:17 "Westsiiiide" Represent!
When you do drop a cut of meat, doesn't it make more sense to keep the wolf, the meat and you all in a straight line? The wolf AI seemed to be making decision on what target to choose because of norespawns unorthodox movement as he kept drifting to the right for some unknown reason. Does that seem true for the game mechanics?
Question : I am a curious guy so when I go to the plane wreck on the map of the town of Milton I did not return the same way. I chose instead to go out the cave there by the wreck and slightly right and managed to make it down the mountain with only 3 serious sprains. I find myself in what looks like a unfinished map. I have explored it and know the different points to other places but there seems to be no way to get out of it!? You end up on a river that leads to the tunnel at Milton where that bus load of prisoners wrecked. Just the other side. A nice bridge with a semi hauling a couple trailers. Has anyone else been to this and if so could you find the way out? It is also lacking any animals, so am starting to lack food! Am hungry!
I died on stalker because I was standing on an electric wire then the Aurora started
Oof
Where was the death?
mojoofftherobo bleak inlet workshop. (The one with the milling machine).
That damn thing almost killed me too, got 90% of my life and lots of burns, and I am at my 450 days, and made a very very long trip to get there to craft ammunitions.
I would love to watch a let’s play with him and this game.
i remember starting at trappers homestead with a revolver and hunting rifle off the start
the hardest thing in this game is to have balls to kill the rabbits
Narrator: I know this way by heart, you can trust me to know where to go
Me who is watching the video: Bro, you can't even see 5 meters in front of you
You should have used a flare on that last wolf in stead of wasting a bullet and missing him completely.
35:50 re saving. Nope. TLD is permadeath. Unless they have changed the Voyageur settings since the last time I played at that level (I usually play custom modified interloper). Saving is just for when you are done for that session and are coming back to the game later.
It saves when you enter a building, when you're attacked or when you hurt yourself. Provided you exit before doing one of these actions - you will have your previous save.
So if you're freezing to do death but haven't actually hurt yourself, you can exit and go back in, which will revert to your last save point (usually the last building you entered).
@@norespawns I see what you're saying. I thought you meant you could restart a game from last save if you died.
I really wish they’d port this game to IpadOS. This would be a super fun game to play on the go tbh.
sterling archer I don’t think it would work on iPad you need I mean need the keyboard.
sterling archer Ipad??? Lol. This game is perfect on PC.
How much ram does that iPad have
NOPE gaming seeing as they’ve ported other “heavy-ish” games like the grand theft auto series and NBA games to ipad, with enough optimization, i don’t feel ram is too much of an issue
NOPE gaming gotta also remember that even the xbox 360 has less than 1gb of ram.
Great game. All the maps are available from the start, you can choose which one you want to play. Also some maps are much harder than others in terms of available shelter and amount of resources, but even Mystery Lake, one of the easiest, is tough.
If you're experienced and know your way around, Pleasant Valley is turning into a really good start zone.
I selected random start and started on top of Timberwolf mountain
That is the best place. You can't haul everything right there
If you do not carry any meat cooked or raw, guts or uncured skins you can avoid wolves from getting your scent. It is far easier to avoid and get past them without them locking on to you. 500+day survivor. Nother FO4 player.
But if you do drop a cut of meat, doesn't it make more sense to keep the wolf and you in a straight line, unlike what norespawns was doing and drifting off the the right. The wolf AI seemed to have trouble latching on to the meat because norespawns' unorthodox movement.
I found car keys which gave me access to the car's trunk underneath the drivers-seat sun-visor more than once...
While I've never been hunted by a wolf, (wolf attacks are actually very very rare.) wild dogs dont attack like that so I doubt wolves do either.
They don't go for your throat off the bat. They circle you waiting for you to not pay attention trying to get behind you and they go for your ankle and legs to knock you down. Once you go down then they will maul for the throat.
As someone who plays The Long Dark, I disagree with finding the hatch to the bunker due to the fact that it spawns in different locations in every game. I would put it in a very low priority because the weather can change quickly and wolves may block your path, forcing you to take a detour. Sometimes a wolf can blindside you and if you are too weak or unprepared to fight off the wolf, that's the end of the game. In my experience, finding the bunker would be better left for when I can safely explore the area and have a gun to defend myself with.
Thanks for the courtesy definitely gonna buy to see these monster always loved survival games
You left the pot behind at the tower and the charcoal from the fire....If your clothes are wet, take them off before sleeping, especially if you don't have a fire!
Realised this after - but there's a pot at the shack so it's all good.
u can use books for making a fire. the chance will go upp a lot if u use books
Awesome looking game. Thank you for all of the tips. I play some of my pc games with an xbox controller and this will be one of them. Once this game is on special I will defi ately be buying it. Merry Christmas 😁

@@HarrySingh-op9zf Yeah I bought it a week ago cheap but I am scared to play so will watch more lives being attempted before I play it lol.
No more wolves in the Dam, they removed that in a previous update.
Yes, but they do get inside the gate, so make sure you close the door.
Got it, good point. I felt like he was referring to Fluffy that would randomly spawn inside the dam.
With the newest update, one of the changes said, and I quote: ‘the return of Fluffy ;)’
Just a good thing to know
Yes, in the cannestry in the Bleak Inlet. Be aware.
Great vid just one question why whorls you not want respawns?!?! 😂😂
Can someone clarify something here for me please? It was mentioned repeatedly that it is recommended to use books as a starter, but not fuel. It was repeated several times, but I'm not sure if there was an explanation for the reason? I must've missed it.
@Iter That makes so much sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Stood on top of a camp fire within the first 20 mins dont know what i was expecting
You don’t have to discover the areas to spawn into them, I spawned into the Coast on the first run *which lasted one day because I got stuck in a blizzard after leaving my shelter and froze to death rip*
Since almost years i play TLD every now and then. It got better and better and meanwhile it´s the best survival game i know. Super fun, thrilling and challenging. But one advise! If you are on a real good survival run, like on stalker or interlooper,...DO NOT play this game drunk. You will fuck up, believe me :D Full focus needed!
Play more of this. This is great
I think this game would be even cooler if they implemented different seasons, growing food, etc. Winter being the hardest season to make it through of course.
Jesus, I've been trying my hardest to gather supplies to make a bow and arrow. Since I can't find any weapons, but you find a bow and gun and bullets within the first few days....Wtf lol
guns spawn in fixed locations rather than as random loot, so this game rewards players who know the game world. you can always look up potential locations on the long dark wiki under the rifle article.
I just got the game. Location... I knew it was going to be a bad idea but now you have the full map and can click "random". So I did. I did alright, survived a wolf attack at a junk yard place with a load-in garage/ mechanic place. But night came. I couldn't see, and the wires started sparking. I needed to get to the bed but didn't want to start a fire just for that so I used the walkway with sparking wires... it was much worse than I thought it was going to be.
One time I spent two days trying to get a sewing kit
in game days or...?
I killed and skinned my first rabbit when I was six. If you think snapping it's neck is bad you're lucky you didn't skin it. It's like ripping off a wet and gooey sock.
Survival fact though just eating rabbit for too long can make you sick.
I've played a 100 hours at this game and have never managed to kill a rabbit with a stone. It's snares for me.
@Jimmy Rustling Good to know. When hunting rabbits, I just stand so the rabbit is approaching me and then line it up so the rabbit can be just barely seen above the pad of my thumb. Doing that, I hit the rabbit almost every single time.
This game is sooo good, I like it so much!
Is Fluffy still around? That bastard gave me a heartattack.
scorpionsleeps so to speak, as far I know the bastard is dead, but the wolf corpse is in the dam.
@@FrostInFreezer dear fluffy served as great leg-warmers, still scared the crap out of me though xD
@@Denananana Fluffy did what he was supposes to do xD
Fluffy moved to another building, and her boyfriend still lives in a cave in another map.
@@duderock10111 I met the boyfriend once... he scared the crap right out of me! I had never seen a wolf inside a cave before!
