Coreopsis

Hey no problem. I know you guys work hard. Can’t wait for the December content!!

I know I'm late in posting this, but I'm going to anyway. I just saw the thread. I hope you're doing better. March and April were a terrible time for me too. The anxiety was overwhelming but i was lucky enough to have a trusted friend to talk to. I hope you do too. Take good care of yourself. All the best to you all.

I was walking up to the lighthouse in DP on a beautiful clear night. A loon cried out and I gasped and jumped at the same time. It was just after they put the loon sound in the game.

I shot a bear in Bleak Inlet by cannery residences and took a bit of meat at sunset. Went back the next day to finish harvesting and the crows we’re circling the site but no bear. I stood underneath the crows and searched around but no bear. I never thought about it sinking into the ice. I reported it to Hinterland. Makes the game more interesting anyway. 😅

Stones will distract wolves if you throw them before the wolves come after you. Throw them to move them out of your path. Aim for the sky then you may have to sprint past them so you aren’t in their sight anymore. The flashlight should be used on bright setting to deter the wolves. I will look at my last run to see what I did. Maybe I can help. I don’t think I have ever found a rifle in the farmhouse but that doesn’t mean it does not spawn there. I usually go to Mystery lake after Milton, maybe rest in the trappers cabin then go to BR. The gun sometimes spawns in the cabin. Others do it in a different order.

In what order do you think you want to hit the regions? The flashlight or a torch or throwing stones to distract helps discourage the wolves. A gun is nice, but I have not found it to be essential. How far do you usually get?

I am really sorry to hear about your experience. It’s one of my favourite challenges. “Just keep walking” is the best advice I got when starting this challenge. I think you can only save when passing time or entering a building. Hope you try it again at some point. Good luck!

It took me many tries to finish the mission too. I sat for a long time, on many tries, to figure out when and where the bear could see me when I grabbed the spear and tried to point it in time. Don't give up, and good luck!

Oh thank you for posting the log drivers waltz vignette! I loved it when it was played on tv. It is exactly what I thought of when I saw the log sort area.

Yes -- I do TWM last when I do this challenge and I've waited 5 days for the Aurora in the Chasm Cave. The guy in the cave isn't very good company.
