THE LONG DARK REGIONS FULL

Unless you want the ultimate survival challenge, just come here for the forge, do your forging, and go back to another region that's easier to live in. It is extremely easy to get lost, and the region doesn't really offer anything that other regions don't have to warrant living here. As if weak ice and roaming predators weren't troublesome enough, this region is very chilly and windy, with frequent fog and no interior locations (aside from a cave in the north of the region). Trying to live in this region for an extended period of time sucks. If you do manage to kill Scruffy, though, you'll have two deer carcasses to harvest in safety.įorlorn Muskeg - I'll tell it to you straight up. Be careful if you want to explore the big cave in Desolation Point, for Scruffy the wolf lives there and can be quite difficult to shoot in the dark. If you stay on the ice, you should be able to avoid most of the wolves in the area. Inside Hibernia, you've got almost limitless storage space and a workbench. You have a forge close by in the Riken, and deer to hunt on Little Island. On the ice, they're rather easy to avoid, but they can sneak up on you unexpectedly in the forest.ĭesolation Point - Finding shelter here isn't a big issue, and the weather here isn't generally too bad. The only danger here is the somewhat high density of predators. If you need lamp oil, there's lots of fishing huts all over the ice. Forging is easy, as a trip to the Riken is only a day's walk away, and there's plenty of buildings that are perfectly suited to calling your home, though Jackrabbit Island and the Quonset Garage are two of the most popular. The weather is quite mild and there's lots to be found in the various houses scattered throughout the region. The region is also quite small, limiting the amount of stuff you'll find if you start out here, and there really aren't that many deer around to hunt for food.Ĭoastal Highway - surviving in Coastal Highway is generally pretty easy. Especially on higher difficulty levels, you'll be spending a lot of your day trying to get out of the way of wolves, and finding enough ammunition for your firearms will become a problem until you've made a bow. Although you do have a forge nearby and a giant lodge, one of the biggest issues you'll face is wolves. I don't really recommend living here for an extended period of time.īroken Railroad - Surviving here for any length of time is surprisingly difficult. The region's also very windy and chilly, lacking good shelters aside from a cabin in the northeast, the Cannery Worker Residences, and Pensive Vista. Regardless of how careful you are, you're going to get into a fight with them sooner or later.

While there is fishing available as a food source and the ammunition crating workbench is close by, along with a nearby forge in Forlorn Muskeg, the region is full of timberwolves. it's a long way down.īleak Inlet - I'd consider this region to be one of the most challenging to survive in for any significant amount of time. Oh, and try not to fall off the rope bridges when you're crossing them.

The main challenge of living here is to not get lost, as there are many canyons and plateaus of differing elevations, all connected via climbing ropes. This is largely because this region has lots of natural resources and high-tier loot, similar to the former, but it also has several shelters scattered throughout. I'll assign each region a difficulty from 1 to 10, where 1 is very easy, 5 is medium, and 10 is hard.Īsh Canyon - I haven't spent enough time here to be sure of the accuracy of this rating, but, I think survival here is slightly easier than in Timberwolf Mountain or Hushed River Valley. I've been playing this game for a while now (just over a year and a half), and I think I know a thing or two about the various regions in the game.
