I leave Broken Railroad without too much trouble from wolves or weather. I leave one knife and the heavy hammer behind. I find one last surprise when I prepare to leave Broken Railroad. I eat my venison and go to sleep for 10 hours. I don't think there is a bedroll in this game, so until I can craft a bow, which requires a hacksaw I have to go back to Forlorn Muskeg for or enough scrap metal to make a hatchet, my sleeping options are extremely limited.
Maybe I should have got a hatchet in retrospect. I drop off the deer's hide and guts and forge two knives and two arrowheads. One deer meets its end right in a fence opening, so I have to climb up a snowbank and parkour down into the yard, luckily uninjured. I manage to herd two deer in front of me to distract the yard wolves. I fully harvest the deer, and head towards the maintenance shed in OK weather. I lose a bunch of fuel to some hard wind, but my fire stays lit. A wolf traps me near a deer carcass, and I decide to harvest it. I walk to the cave, find some firewood and continue across the rickety bridge. I leave behind my dog food, I do not want to waste those recycled cans if at all possible. I eat my rabbit meat and my last two cattails and go to bed.
I go to bed once my fuel reserves get low. I fully harvest the bunny and a bunch of cloth from the curtains in the lodge. I prep mushrooms, Old Man's Beard and rose hips while I boil up 15 liters of water. I'm out of water and very thirsty, so I decide to start a fire. Finding more cooking tools or a can opener to make more is a high priority. Forlorn Muskeg and Broken railroad are not so rich in bunnies, so I decide to go kill some bun-buns so I can wear their skin. I didn't carry the rope I found at the Maintenance shed with me, something I might regret.Īnother Sewing Primer and a parka. Perhaps I am being too conservative of matches, but it is totally plausible that 35 matches are all I have for the rest of the game. I head for the hunting lodge hungry, and not really warm.
THE LONG DARK FORLORN MUSKEG MAP PLUS
I search the rest of the maintenance building, finding a heavy hammer, two prybars, a baseball hat and a scarf and three driving gloves in addition to the usual stuff, plus 24 precious matches, bringing my total to 35. The bed isn't warm enough to save me without a fire, but I find a down vest and am able to eat some cattails and have a good sleep at a Spartan +1 C warmth. The weather is turning - I find the best way to get into Broken Railroad is to wait for a blizzard so the wolves go hide. I use my torch from the forge to start a cozy fire, where I get warmed up again.
The trip is uneventful, I am not bothered by any wolves and gather a few cattails. I break down a crate to get two accelerants.Ī look back at the forge on my way to Broken railroad. Either way, my first match got me a fire, which means that unless I absentmindedly run out of torches, 1 fire, one match for the rest of my life. I make the painful decision to use the copy of A Sewing Primer I found to start my first fire, which works - but given that the amount of cloth I will find is somewhat limited, getting to Sewing Level 2 without wasting any cloth on hamfisted attempts to fix my clothes would be nice. I find jeans, a fancy shirt, work boots, two dog foods, a prybar and matches at Spences in addition to the usual stuff. On the fateful respawn attempt, I spawn near the forge in Forlorn Muskeg (this took a LOT of games). If I make it a long time, I might allow a trip to the nearest magnifying lens. That means that the number of fires I will be able to start is very limited. I deliberately restarted until I got a start that has the Heavy Hammer, but NO magnifying lens.
THE LONG DARK FORLORN MUSKEG MAP WINDOWS
No feats, because I forgot to backup my appdata folder when I reformatted everything and reinstalled Windows a year ago. This will be a challenge where I stay alive as long as possible in only Forlorn Muskeg, Broken Railroad, and the lower area of Milton (no going up either rope) on the stock Interloper difficulty.
