Now if you're caught, force quit the game and reload it.īears will charge on any difficulty, even Pilgrim. Wildlife will stay in place, and you just created a save point. I also suggest throwing your bedroll down and sleeping an hour first. You can take the clothes off for a little without freezing, for the most part. If the bear gets you, your clothes will be ruined. (You can leave them in inventory.) Keep bandages and antiseptic/lichen wraps with you. Twice as dense as fish.ġ4) When hunting bears, take off your clothes. Yep, fully fresh cooked bear meat will last through your whole run, but you'll eat it before then. Cooked bear meat is the best in the game. That means a LOT of very high calorie food. I've never had to do that.ġ3) When going to the fishing huts, don't forget the hunting rifle. If you run out of sewing kits, you can use fishing tackles. Make sure you have a couple of sewing kits, and grab cloth from the curtains in the houses. While you fish you are outside, so it decays slower.ġ1) There are a lot of limbs lying around on shore and the islands, and you can raid a house for more wood.ġ2) Keep your clothes in good shape. When you go inside, leave the fish outside. Difficulty changes things a lot.) Remember, this for outdoor fish. (By comparison, cooked fish on Stalker decays 1.250%/day, and on Interloper decays 2.500%/day.

(320 days for a full decay.) Raw fish decays 0.8333%/day, so COOK YOUR FISH. On Pilgrim, a cooked fish kept outside decays 0.3125%/day. (Smallmouth bass can be found elsewhere, and is just as good.)ġ0) Cooked fish also last longer. Salmon (which is only found at Coastal Highway) is better than most other fish, 455 kcal/kg. Cooked fish weigh less, increasing the kcal/kg. Larger fish have great kcal/weight ratio. Hooks can be made with scrap metal fishing line can be made with cured guts.ĩ) Immediately cook the fish when you feel like you have enough. Take a lot of fishing tackles and as much wood as you can carry out to one of them. You're obviously going to need water anyway.Ĩ) For food: fish, fish, fish. Don't waste any wood on a fire just for warmth. Those won't go out in wind.ħ) Whenever you build a fire, BOIL WATER. Garage might be better.Ħ) Never have to light a fire outside.
#THE LONG DARK FORUMS UPDATE#
You'll want to save your wood for melting and boiling water at the stove in the hut.Įdit: A later update removed the door. The door cuts off the wind, although you will still have to deal with extreme cold if you stay there for a while. You will need more wood at the hut.ĥ) You can use any hut you like, but I strongly suggest the one with the door (see the video below). You will need to stay warm: the garage NEVER gets cold. As stated in the comments, a garage/house is safer, uses less wood than a fishing hut, and has a bed so you don't wear out your bedroll. You're going to want to run back and forth between these. There are two spots you want to focus on: the Quonset Garage and the fishing hut closest to the Garage (which has a door). If you are scaling the mountain on this run, do it first. Leave the majority of weight for food and water.Ĥ) I suggest doing this on Coastal Highway. Food also spoils much less/day than other difficulties.ģ) You should have warm clothing, but you're not going to need it too much here. Things may be the same on harder difficulties. Animals don't attack unprovoked on Pilgrim. I didn't want to run the risk of investing 50 hours to lose it in a bear attack at the end. (One time I cut a limb and found two more show up behind me.)Ģ) Do this on Pilgrim. After I hit 500 days, and ventured out, it's not so much of an issue, but if you're hunkering for this, make sure you keep your hatchet handy. You can obviously wander out, but I wanted to hunker down to finish this. I found myself worried at the end that I would run out of firewood. I would suggest leaving this method for the end once you've explored and such.ġ) Firstly, one big hint is that you need to keep your hatchet in good shape. Turns out this is really super easy, just long. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how important that is. Next to the fire is a Moose backpack that increases your carry capacity from 66 lbs to 77 lbs. Please don't downvote.Įdit #2: As of the June 2018 update, there is now a signal fire in the new Hushed River Valley region. Edit: Adding more tips after finishing this.
