I recommend to always look behind sun visors in cars. There once fell a chocolate bar out of one of these when I opened it. I play the game since at least two years now and it only happened once. It is extremely rare but you may be lucky. Most people forget about these things.
Lol ive look in those every time forever only to get nothing every time i was starting to think that they just forgot that they had compartments up there and had to items spawn there
Except on Interloper! Then your main adversary are the wolves (and Moose & Bears, but they're easier to avoid usually)! On interloper, if you survive the first few days (ie find matches and find/craft some clothes) you can survive for a long time ... until you meet a wolf!
Been playing this game now for about 2 weeks, and the I have no problems with the first 9 on this list. I've figured those ones out. The last tip on this list, I tend to have some problems with. I've already killed 2 of my playthroughs due to greed. lol. And even realizing my mistake, I still find myself tempted to go the extra distance, even if it might kill me. Need to continue working on that.
I know this might be an outdated reply to a good old guide video, but I find many tips that are relevant even to this day. Also, the harvesting animal is a big tip. I once tried to get as many meat as I can from a bear, and upon harvest ten kg of meat, my character immediately got a sprained ankle, which I assume was that I might be on a slight slope during harvesting and it becomes encumbered once I am done.
I started playing this game in November of 2018 and apparently they overhauled the UI somewhere between the making of this video and then. I actually really like the older icons and backpack. I can clearly see why they changed some of the UI as it's just more intuitive for some things; but sometimes it's fun to have form before functionality. I hope that in the future they decide to implement a "retro build" of the game so we can experience what it was like in the early days for those of us who missed it.
Then you realized you could give 100 tips on TLD, I love this game and still post videos today, this brings back memories of Beta, we all had to learn the Hard Way, Ouch! Great Tips!
They do cure if you put them in a container just VERY slowly. Thanks! I was scared to put them on the ground in case I lost them. Considering that you can drop water in one spot and it will stay there until you pick it up again I should have known!!
It was great to see all the highlights and clips from the series. Although considering the end of the previous episode (and your subsequent comments) it feels a little like a memorial and that is kind of sad.
Protip: Dying isn't fun, be a boring slob and use safe food methods like looting. Until you have to find it. If you don't have a rifle, or a bow. Probably don't bother with a knife! Because tons of people think it's button mashing that will save you. but word round' the playground is rhythmic tapping is what will get that not very friendly animal off you. Also, you can't fight back against bears or mooses (meese?) because they will shred you to 10% condition or break or ribcage. ALSO FROSTBITE IS PURE EVIL YOU ARE CAPPED AT 90% CONDITION FOREVER COVER UP KIDS.
@@v3rb639 very true i wish i known i got frostbite one life and i had allready lived +30 days and was like this is so bad and ur condition never heals so i just killed myself with bear it was sad
Why thank you, that means a lot! If you enjoy stuff like this you should totally pick it up if you can. It's a fantastic game and this video only brushes the surface. :)
Well, I'm afraid I can't help you with that, I don't know anyone sane to go out into a full blown blizzard, and that was just a sign of some stupidity, or you just underestimated the power of mother nature xd (no offence btw)
Hi there Foxy, Heavy spoiler ahead. But it's a piece of advice that I think belongs to the "I wish I knew" realm. Works in Voyager mostly. I think it's really very beneficial to plan really well the first 24-48 hours. Wolves are not yet spawned and one can travel quickly and effectively as long as he or she stays warm. First thing to do is to loot one bigger place, ASAP. Gather all the things needed to travel quickly and safely: clothes, food, tools, all the scrap metal, some firewood, etc. Eat hot food to keep warm while traveling. Go to Forlorn Muskeg or Desolation Point Pick up all the coal and firewood along the way, find a hammer. Important thing is to, at all cost, start forging arrowheads within first 36 hours of game time. If you don't have a hatchet by this time, make one too. The wolves will be out. Make bow, make arrows, if everything goes right, you'll end week 2 with some drying hides and first bear killed and harvested. Well supplied for some crafting. And you won't even need to find a rifle. Cheers!.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I may do more videos in the future after learning more & they'll be more likely to have spoilers in them so I can include that. Was hoping this would work well for people like me who want to experience the game for themselves but also don't want to die on the 5th day(which I totally would have done if it wasn't for your help and others).
Awesome! It's never too late to play a great game. :) Part of me wants to buy it again for Xbone so I can just sit and play it on my couch now and then but sadly I don't have the funds for that. :P
Haha yeah that is sort of ironic. I kinda love it when games don't involve currency. Sadly I don't know about the fishing holes - despite the number of hours I have poured into this game I still haven't been in a place where I could use them, hah!
I do love the absence of an economy, it's unique. And yet the game is so engaging, beautiful, challenging, rewarding and sometimes downright mean :) No worries, I've been doing a lot of fishing at Mystery Lake and as far as I can tell as long as you have the tackle you can fish as much as you want. I've got a pile of fish outside the cabin; I can eat for days, maybe a week. :) Not to bother you, I know you're not my personal game guru :) , but have you found any of the bunkers? I've heard there is one in each region. Thanks for the chat.
Ahahaha, I was wondering if anyone would notice that! Funnily enough I didn't actually plan on it, just sort of happened while I was editing the clips together. :P
I mean the video is several years old now and a lot of these things were harder to figure out back then. But your comment was very helpful and friendly thanks.
This game is stupid. I died literally 7 times trying to get through the opening sequence and I gave up. No matter what I did my heslth dropped, maybe a bug. Honestly who cares, games like this are for people who have no life and NOTHING ELSE TO DO. Not for me.
![ALL new recipes and foods EXPLAINED (cooking, DLC, 2023) [The Long Dark]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-cVyToGFcYA/mqdefault.jpg)
Finally an actual beginners guide list. Every other video is a freaking beginner play throw over an hour instead of a tip list. Great vid
Glad it helped!
2:28 “bear in mind” ( shows dead bear)
No, you beat me to it for mere 9 months.......
And u beat me to it mere 1 year lol
@@ahmedazhar2195 all of you beat me to it for 1 bear...😕🤪🤷♂️🙄
I literally went to the comment section just to say that XD
Exactly what I needed instead of these 25+ minute videos. Thanks!
I can't believe I fell for that pic
good job
I fell for the pic too. I was literally blowing on my phone to get the hair off. LOLOL
Flakka yea the hair got me too on ur profile pic lmao but I agree I've been searching for a video guide that wasn't frickin 30 minutes or more
+birdman53191 Glad it helped!
Gosh your avatar had me blowing ny ipad saying I'm blonde and so its tbe Mrs wtf lol
at 2:28 she says "bare in mind" as there's a bear corpse, lmao
Fun fact: corpse refers to a dead human while carcass is used for a dead animal! Only discovered this while playing this game
Use Crouch when leaving a building, and when walking up or down steep hills.
I recommend to always look behind sun visors in cars. There once fell a chocolate bar out of one of these when I opened it. I play the game since at least two years now and it only happened once. It is extremely rare but you may be lucky. Most people forget about these things.
Good tip! I forget that a lot too.
Lol ive look in those every time forever only to get nothing every time i was starting to think that they just forgot that they had compartments up there and had to items spawn there
Took me days of playing this game before realising the sun visors could be opened!
Omg I didn’t know they could be opened
Another very important tip would be to keep an eye on gear needing repair before they become ruined
Except on Interloper! Then your main adversary are the wolves (and Moose & Bears, but they're easier to avoid usually)!
On interloper, if you survive the first few days (ie find matches and find/craft some clothes) you can survive for a long time ... until you meet a wolf!
L2P

Her voice reminds me of the "one time at band camp" girl from American Pie...
i was thinking the same thing,,,
Securitydude83 lmao yes! The trumpet girl
Securitydude83 i knew i recognized her voice, good movie.
WOW YEA
I got a flute stuck in my... pocket.
2020 and on wards wont see movies like American Pie, people are too snowflakey.
Thank you so much, I've recently persuaded my dad to start playing The Long Dark and these videos are perfect!
I know this might be an outdated reply to a good old guide video, but I find many tips that are relevant even to this day.

I'm glad you still find some of the tips relevant! I know the feeling with getting injured while carrying all that meat, haha!
Best guide video ever! I wish everyone would take this example of video making
I started playing this game in November of 2018 and apparently they overhauled the UI somewhere between the making of this video and then. I actually really like the older icons and backpack. I can clearly see why they changed some of the UI as it's just more intuitive for some things; but sometimes it's fun to have form before functionality. I hope that in the future they decide to implement a "retro build" of the game so we can experience what it was like in the early days for those of us who missed it.
I've played the game since alpha, they've changed the ui a dozen times
I always wondered how to cure hide s and guts. Thanks for these tips, they helped a lot.
Then you realized you could give 100 tips on TLD, I love this game and still post videos today, this brings back memories of Beta, we all had to learn the Hard Way, Ouch! Great Tips!
Always check your flare gun if its loaded, I just got torn apart by wolves
Pack the flare gun at the start defense is more important and medicinal plants and food is plentiful enough if you know where to look
If anyone still watching just to add, check the beds of pickup trucks even if they look full of snow some items are hidden right under the snow
1º - Caution with FLUFFY!
They do cure if you put them in a container just VERY slowly. Thanks! I was scared to put them on the ground in case I lost them. Considering that you can drop water in one spot and it will stay there until you pick it up again I should have known!!
+SkylerMcwhyler Glad it helped!
really concise and helpful to the new player without spoiling the experience, kudos.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
It was great to see all the highlights and clips from the series. Although considering the end of the previous episode (and your subsequent comments) it feels a little like a memorial and that is kind of sad.
Haha don't worry. Spoilers - I'm still alive. Next episode out on Friday. :)
Thank you for such straightforward tips! Haven't found many like this. Helped a lot. Im a newbie!
Glad it was helpful!

Usually these things are useless and have useless information. But this on the other hand was helpful.
Great video! I came through from Reddit to review but I see no reason to want to change anything here. Made me want to start playing this game!
Why thank you, that means a lot! If you enjoy stuff like this you should totally pick it up if you can. It's a fantastic game and this video only brushes the surface. :)
Foxy Fern I've added it to my list of games to buy :)
Great to hear!
Came across this, quite a throw back for me, since the games been updated so much
Yeah I should check out what it’s like now. I don’t think I’ve played it since like a couple months past making this video.
These tips are actually pretty obvious
Well, I'm afraid I can't help you with that, I don't know anyone sane to go out into a full blown blizzard, and that was just a sign of some stupidity, or you just underestimated the power of mother nature xd (no offence btw)
@Alladeen Madafaker exactly, The best lessons you can learn are not from stupid videos on UA-cam, but your own experience
that bear holy. that will keep you fed for a long time.
+demonpride1975 Yeah. Too bad in that episode it bugged out and the bear was gone the next day. T_T
omg that would have made me livid, 39 kilos of bear meat gone. that is literally 2 weeks of food.
+demonpride1975 Right?!
But can you "Jump" ? Like jump over wood fences or over a ditch? Thats what i shouldve lnown before playing this game where you cant hop over things.
Cool tips, nice vids, keep it up! :)
How to increase the bagsize ,Im new to the game,my backpack went from 30 to 27 -I dont know what i did wrong.
Great tips, I enjoyed the shortness of the video.
super helpful and im playing n 2021, thank u so much .
I just bought the game yesterday. It's really addicting.
Enjoy until you get mauled and fall off a cliff. The you'll know how nice this game is gonna treat you.
About how long should I sleep if It’s just turned night
Hey great vid.
Subbed :)
Btw do you play Dead By Daylight?
I just want to know how to use a can opener in this game :(
It’s free in epic games
Thank you for the tips! Really appreciate them. :)
Still accurate even nowadays. Even despite the depth increasing.
That's good to hear! A lot of times my videos get outdated and there's not much I can do about it.
Hi there Foxy,
Heavy spoiler ahead.
But it's a piece of advice that I think belongs to the "I wish I knew" realm.
Works in Voyager mostly.
I think it's really very beneficial to plan really well the first 24-48 hours.
Wolves are not yet spawned and one can travel quickly and effectively as long as he or she stays warm.
First thing to do is to loot one bigger place, ASAP. Gather all the things needed to travel quickly and safely: clothes, food, tools, all the scrap metal, some firewood, etc.
Eat hot food to keep warm while traveling.
Go to Forlorn Muskeg or Desolation Point
Pick up all the coal and firewood along the way, find a hammer.
Important thing is to, at all cost, start forging arrowheads within first 36 hours of game time. If you don't have a hatchet by this time, make one too. The wolves will be out.
Make bow, make arrows, if everything goes right, you'll end week 2 with some drying hides and first bear killed and harvested. Well supplied for some crafting. And you won't even need to find a rifle.
Cheers!.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I may do more videos in the future after learning more & they'll be more likely to have spoilers in them so I can include that. Was hoping this would work well for people like me who want to experience the game for themselves but also don't want to die on the 5th day(which I totally would have done if it wasn't for your help and others).
Watching this because Ling dark is on PS now
wow. the game has changed a lot in two years! some good tips though some things have changed.
Yeah, sorry about that! I haven’t had time to play and make an updated video!
best game ever 2021 for me is tld still
the nostalgia of the old tld
This was great, thank you! I'm a little late to the game as I'm playing on the Xbox-1, but I fell in love with the game immediately.
Awesome! It's never too late to play a great game. :) Part of me wants to buy it again for Xbone so I can just sit and play it on my couch now and then but sadly I don't have the funds for that. :P
Ironic to talk about funds in one of the few games that don't involve money, currency or any other economy :)
Do you know how long it takes for fishing holes to "restock"?
Haha yeah that is sort of ironic. I kinda love it when games don't involve currency.
Sadly I don't know about the fishing holes - despite the number of hours I have poured into this game I still haven't been in a place where I could use them, hah!
I do love the absence of an economy, it's unique. And yet the game is so engaging, beautiful, challenging, rewarding and sometimes downright mean :)
No worries, I've been doing a lot of fishing at Mystery Lake and as far as I can tell as long as you have the tackle you can fish as much as you want. I've got a pile of fish outside the cabin; I can eat for days, maybe a week. :)
Not to bother you, I know you're not my personal game guru :) , but have you found any of the bunkers? I've heard there is one in each region. Thanks for the chat.
How do I clear fatigue
Why does her UI look different
The song linked in the description is not the song you used in the video. What is the song used in the video?
This one time in band camp......😊
2:28 I see what you did there :3
Ahahaha, I was wondering if anyone would notice that! Funnily enough I didn't actually plan on it, just sort of happened while I was editing the clips together. :P
Wow. The UI looked better 5 years ago
i cooked like 10 liters of water in grey mother's house .. free fire!!!! lol
I love it
What does your ui look so different than mine??
+Fizhub older version. :)
Good video bravo
I think I hear Terraria music in the background
Uh no not even clsoe
Nice video
Thank you for tips!
+Reiska You're welcome! Hope they help.
I am on a mission to get good at this lol
Nice video! The recent updates in The Long Dark are very nice, maybe you want to check them out by yourself. :-)
thankssss
Great video! Thank you.
Really appreciate the clear, consice points and you getting straight into the subject at hand. ;)
good video
How the fuck do you refill the lantern🤬
im a foxy gamer..
This was all the most obvious shit we learn while playing.
+DJSbros video is 2+ years old get gud
MOST OF THIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE AND NOT REAL TIPS! WHAT EVER!
I mean the video is several years old now and a lot of these things were harder to figure out back then. But your comment was very helpful and friendly thanks.
I used to love foxes now I love wolves
I wish I had known the game wasn’t finished before I bought it.... 🤦🏻♀️
This game is stupid. I died literally 7 times trying to get through the opening sequence and I gave up. No matter what I did my heslth dropped, maybe a bug. Honestly who cares, games like this are for people who have no life and NOTHING ELSE TO DO. Not for me.
just get better bro. youre missing something if you keep dying like that
