Great video as always🙂. Got to ask though why don't you use the safe etc to store some of your things? You have a good amount of items though. it'd drive me nuts leaving things out😁  that's why I'd choose camp office in ml.  But my main base is nearly always pv farm.

Thanks!

In the beginnng, I used the safe and drawers, but eventually found it more useful to visually see what items I had left, especially big items. So these days I mostly just use the locker. As more stuff accumulates, I might start storing stuff in the safe, though

This is after 1000 Days on interloper, in Trapper's Cabin in Mystery Lake.

How to get back up in the plane after looting the corpse in the lower section of the plane at the summit? I couldnt get up so i had to goat down the hill.

You just go to the right. Hug the right side and you enter a slope leading back up to the plane.

Thats awesome. Thanks, Kai!

I do - is there specific size you are looking for in particular?

No, but if I use it in a video or some such, it helps to have it large so that I can zoom in and draw routes. At least 2K, but bigger is even better

Awesome, Kai! Do you have a higher quality version?

Here are some highlights from Days 500-1000 on interloper

I didn't have a single thing spawn in that spot at wolf's jaw overlook. I guess my luck is just bad.

Yeah, sometimes nothing is there Or you get just wood.

Great video, but what about the hidden revolver in the bleak inlet workshop? I'm sure a lot of people don't know it is there.

Can you elaborate? I mostly play interloper so there is some lower difficulty items I might be unaware of.

Also, love your avatar, haha!

I think you're right about the distance. All the maulings I had it never reared up and they were always  fairly close to me. 

Sorry about the stomping you got in the tournament by the way! That was bad luck!

Oof yeah that really slowed me down, but I did finish it in the end (had to rush through it and sacrifice points). And thank you

Includes a map of all the encounters. Can be downloaded in description.

Lemme ask you @Zaknafein have you had it happen where you know the bear is coming and it plays the music but doesn't roar at you but still attacks you I have and it ruined my save just before the cave to mystery lake 

I have had this happen yes. There is some RNG involved and I think it also depends on distance. Most of the bear encounters are predictable, though.

Here is a walkthrough of how to complete The Hunted Part 1, if anyone needs a guide on how to do it

By the way can you use feats on as the dead sleep?

No, because it is a challenge

I am doing a ATDS walkthrough soon, prob next month, so you can use that to impress your mom

Here is a fully narrated walkthrough, from a fresh interloper spawn up until stabilizing with bow hunting.

you can improve this, i did here a full charackter clothing setup 2 bearcoats, deer pants and boots, rabbit mittens and hat cocking lvl 5 in 16D15H58M after this you got all you need it is is quick replayed if you die.

Thank you, but this video was not about doing it fast. It was a walkthrough tutorial meant to be thorough
Keep up the good content, though!

This man has seen every glitch in the game. Pretty sure the developers have hidden secret code in there to make it harder for him

Well I have to admit that was  really good.  I definitely can’t watch a video of someone playing a game but no doubt the content was really educational.  
  I have to say I was trying to figure out how you knew all the tricks and tips and hidden stuff (even some I didn’t know about) and yet I saw one part where you thought the dog food had pull-top lids?????  I got a laugh out of that but I am sure you figured out that it’s because you made the knife. 

Thank you!

Haha, yes - the dog food thing was an error. After 5 hours of recording immersive narration, you get tired and I had a brain fart and totally forgot I had the knife on me. I thought perhaps they had patched it. I realize later in the video. For the same reason, I sometimes miss loot hidden here and there.
Glad you enjoyed the video!

When you play The Long Dark, you can get tunnel vision and miss things right in front of you. Fortunately, people with better eyes than mine caught some hidden and not-so-hidden loot. Can you spot them?

I made this interloper walkthrough on how to spawn in HRV. I added a minimap tracking the player and also do a dry run to show where matches are.

Um no- because the “finish episode 4 in an hour” wouldn’t have been your first play through. No way. 
 Even seeing a map once - not playing it but just seeing the map is such an incredible advantage over just a cold start. 

Yes, it wasn't my first run, but you said I "have posted multiple, multiple times on completing episode 4 various ways", but one post does not mean "multiple" posts nor "various ways" That's what I contested.

For the record: Prior to this video, I had completed Episode 4 once, done a quick practice run and then recorded my speedrun (so 3 total). As you say, it gives a big advantage But like I said, the video is NOT about not knowing the map, it is about not knowing item spawns - all that is up in the air, as survival and story do not have anything close to the same spawns. All that being said, I nevertheless appreciate the critical thinking on your part.

Also, the "damage" to the morale seems different for each device (flare, marine, torch), or am i mistaken?

I actually tested this in my new spawn video. As far as I can tell, it all looked the same to me. Didn't matter if it was torch, flare or noisemaker. However, this may depend on how you hit with them and therefore my testing isn't conclusive.

I will point out one thing, though: Noisemakers are technically best, because wolves will flee when it explodes. If you throw a torch or flare, the morale will drop but the wolf doesn't always flee. As a result, you have reduced morale but now there is a wolf between you and the flare.

The video can be seen here (timestamps in description for testing):
