saultiens Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi all, I have been playing since early Alpha and loved the original punishing survival experience. I took a few years off from TLD, but got hooked a few months back on Winter's Embrace. I survived that fairly easily, and then decided to try 'As The Dead Sleep'. After many attempts, I finally finished that challenge and decided to spin up an Interloper save. Again, after several attempts, I got off the ground and now have a 100 day save on Interloper. Now the question is - what to do next? Any advice on custom saves or other ways to continue to enjoy the game? I tried to create a Stalker save, but as soon as I found the rifle, it was open season. It's not really challenging to me. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 TLD has two tasks. Getting stuff and maintenance. Once you get everything you're left with just maintenance which takes much less time. Interloper has the highest maintenance/get stuff ratio so yeah....not much else unless you do the challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odium Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 long game interloper you kind of need to set goals for yourself or be a collector. try to gather all of some types of resource or like i do, collect and move all skill books to one location to make a pretty table covered in books. stockpile huge amounts of resources, enough for more days than most can stomach playing. explore 100% of the map etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saultiens Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I thought about making a trip to the top of Timberwolf Mountain... just to say I did it. If I die, I die. Might be a good way to go out if I don't make it. Thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZ Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 What? Not seen the mountain top yet? I think reaching it was one of the best feelings I had in this game. It takes days to set up for your run and when you finally do it and it pays off... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really challenging to me. Thanks in advance! Nicely done! The next steps would be a custom game or an Interloper game with restriction. Sleepwalker run in which you have no rest recovery, but only awake recovery. There's different levels of Sleepwalker, but the most severe would be high calorie/thirst/fatigue, etc and awake recovery at low. You could do a custom between Loper and Sleepwalker with the recovery at sleep to low. Deadman would be no recovery at all (no birch bark tea either). Max Deadman is all the hardest settings with no recovery, but you could do Loper with no recovery for a type of Deadman. Birch Bark Tea is also a thing to consider. You could do Birchman, which is Deadman but you have the Tea on. You could add Tea to the Sleepwalkers too. Other ideas are Loper but with restrictions - ie you can only survive in one region (or 2 or 3), you can't wear any non-crafted clothing, or you can't go inside structures (Outerloper). Hope you find something fun for yourself. Glad you came back to play! Murph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahatch Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm currently trying an interloper run that you spend at least 50 days at all the regions I'm 200 plus days in and working on Timberwolf Mountain. Have Mystery Lake, Pleasant Valley and Desolation Point completed . Need 27 days more on Coastal to go later. But is going to get real tough (if I survive) when I have to stay on Forlorn Muskeg / Bleak Inlet 300 days in to the run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
