Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I believe it is a feature as they have acted like this since 2019. Torch keeps them at bay, but morale breaks when you exit their territory.

I started a survival series on No One Gets Out Alive, a custom setting much harder than interloper. It is similar to Deadman, but tuned even worse. Hope you enjoy! PS: The NOGOA difficulty was not created by me. I believe PerfectTrip first made the version, and it was edited by WonzAndOnly. Check them out on Twitch - they stream NOGOA often.

Thank you for the update, GunTech. And as mentioned in the video, this record was only possible due to the "Guntech shortcut" discovered by you. My record has since been beaten, though. I think it's 1H 28m now, by a Turkish player if I remember correctly. Surviving longest is definitely harder, but quite the grind.

Here is a guide I put together that introduces the basic survival mechanics of TLD. It is aimed at new players, or those wishing to try out Survival Mode. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you! About your questions: 1) Oil in jerry cans weigh less than oil in bottles. Plus it looks nicer! 2) Yes, these tips are not meant as replacements - they are just what you CAN do, not a BETTER way. You can, of course, aim down the sight. The only caveat is that if a wolf is aggroed on you and you aim down the sight, then you will trigger a charge from the wolf. The campfire trick avoids this. But to be honest it's just a gimmick

(or maybe you already knew all of these?)

Yes, that's right - there is preparation involved so it wasn't "figured out" in one hour. That being said, though, I didn't spend days. My first playthrough of Episode 4 was mostly exploring and ignoring story. It took about 6 hours to complete. Second run was a scouting run for the speedrun and took maybe 3 hours, and then the third run was the speedrun itself. So maybe 10 hours total experience+practice+execution for this video. Normally, though, I'd say "days" is accurate - my speedrun has numerous errors and it can easily be done 10-15 minutes faster by just polishing what I did, so in a better polished and faster run... yeah, it would be days

Well Raph said he won't even look at any speedruns of Episode 4 He respects the speedrunning community, but isn't interested in seeing how all their work can be completed so quickly.

If you are interested in speedrunning, here is a video outlining the world records for all the challenges, as well as the speedrunning community itself and the Hall of Fame concept. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for finding my video inspiring! This trick you use here is quite neat, but there is an even easier way to do it. You can place a rock cache at the pier by the workshop itself (the one that has some stairs going down, just outside the entrance to the workshop). If you place it there, you can reach the cache from the ice beneath and stock up with stuff which you then loot on the other side. Ultimately, it is the same result but less walking while heavy. I do appreciate the ingenuity here, though - very clever to think of placing a cache there! Great job!

Thank you! Haha, yes I did manage to reach the bear but parts of it fell through the wall after quartering. I hate that bear - its my nemesis. I have killed it 5 times and it mauled me 4 times.

I make TLD tutorials, but these are very specific and people have asked for a more practical approach. To be fair, you can go to any interloper streamer starting a new run and get a good experience. But here is a complete walkthrough from start to bow hunting on interloper, narrated all the way, and without any stream chat stuff. Alternative, you can fall asleep to my voice. Aimed at people wanting to try interloper or struggling to master it. Hope it is useful!

So, I believe this is the world's fastest Darkwalker run as of today. I could be wrong, but have not found any faster times than this (except some using cheats). If you want to see the VOD of how this was done, I have not officially released it yet, but it is viewable through this link:

Purely for style points. Not worth it in any practical sense.

Here is a compilation of the many deaths of The Long Dark, featuring the Twitch Community. They suffered for this video.

You need it to rock-jump out of the ledge you land on. Looking down and selecting a cache and cancelling will move the character slightly upwards.

I discovered this secret path to the workshop at the Bleak Inlet cannery. It allows you to bypass about half of the obstacle course as well as Timberwolves, and is a quicker way to get back in if you arrive from the north. Keep in mind, however, that you can get sprains and take up to 40% damage doing this. Should you miss, you can also fall into the mouths of the Timberwolves below (but I was able to do this consistently 5/6 attempts in a row on interloper, so its not too hard). You need 50 rocks for the first cache and another 50 rocks in your inventory (or stashed by the ledge). Have fun! (PS: There is a second, safer shortcut found by kimiota, that allows you to jump onto the planks near the workshop and take no damage. However, this will require that you kill the Timberwolves first... and you cannot boast that you jumped in the game ^^)

Hi everyone. I know this topic is a bit old, and that Raph also confirmed that he meant the Lookout Tower rope when he referred to the "shortcut". Nevertheless, I was able to find this shortcut in the cannery that allows you to skip the Timberwolves. Hope you enjoy! (PS: There is another shortcut available, found by kimiota, but it requires you to clear out the timberwolves first)

My understanding of: "[Enviro] The Wolf’s Jaw Overlook Polaroid location is no longer blocked by terrain." Is that they meant that the polaroid location itself is no longer blocked, i.e. the location has changed? So I presume they just moved that box elsewhere.

Maybe I am just lucky, but I have played this game for 4 years and never lost any save games. Even if it happened, its just an excuse for a new adventure for me

The third video in my TLD tutorial is finally done. Thank you for your patience - it took much longer than anticipated to edit this together. The video provides tips on both how to survive a long time and what to do during your long runs. Hope you enjoy!
