Road to 500 Days - Part 8: Summit

Man, the bear near deer clearing is my nemesis. Homie is always in my way and always mauls me when I try and kill him haha. Glad he didn’t cause you too much trouble

[@aaronberg221]

The key when dealing with bears and moose are ledges, escape routes, and patience. Secondly a good supply of arrows as insurance.

[@QilleWolf]

@@aaronberg221 yes I know how to kill bears, I wasn’t asking for advice I just wanted to joke about that one stupid bear who always gives me trouble. Everyone has That One Bear and this one is mine lol

Been lying down for almost a week with a throat infection (unable to really eat and drink), so just want to say thanks for the content. One 90 min video has lasted me several hours as I have been falling asleep (not your fault). So yeah the last 3 videos has kept me going for the last two days.

[@crabbyboy1585]

Instantly clicked when I saw you uploaded

[@TheReverendAlucard]

Hey Zak! Your videos have inspired me to pick this game back up again. I'm only playing Pilgrim for now but enjoying it so far. The only issue I'm having is the absolute abundance of loot, I'm extremely weighed down by books, tools, just everything :D I need to shake off my hoarding ways :)

[@ddhistory9321]

You really hit the Peaches jackpot! 🍑

[@Angelfire0615]

Reading all these comments lol. Zac you need to do relaxation audio tapes. You have the ability to calm and sooth thoughts and anxiety with your voice. That is your super power. Regards to your family. Have such a happy vibe for y'all 💗

[@ronwue]

I noticed the "hum" too. Since getting the technical backpack you hear a click and a zipper whenever you go into your inventory. When you go out of your inventory you hear it in reverse.

[@vladthedragon8250]

I think the reduced sprains with crampons is just as good if not better than the reduced climb drain. It's applicable so often it's hard for me to justify +1/+1 warmth over it and I usually run satchel/crampons.

[@AvatarOfBlues]

So much long dark content - i am so happy that i found your channel a few month ago! thanks for all the amazing content! :)

[@HiroshimaXl]

Finally made it past day 50 on interloper ! Wouldn't have done it without the channel. Looking forward to my own 500 day run

[@zombeez1361]

I love the intro screen/music. It just really sets the perfect mood for the next hour or two of the video. One thing about this game that has always amazed me, is how under the right conditions, you can see darn near forever. I've had a couple times, early, when I was learning the game, that I was wandering around basically lost, and then the sky cleared, and I could see a rope climb far across the valley that was my salvation, or perhaps times I've spotted cabins/huts far off, when I desperately needed shelter. So the ability to, at times, see far off, has always been a super cool part of the game for me. Then you suggested you could build the fire on top of the airplane, and wondered if you could see it from the camp. I thought this was very intriguing, and then you said you would try it. Unfortunately, although you said you could see the fire, when you got down below, I couldn't see it in the video. I watch on my big screen TV, so perhaps it is the resolution of the TV, but I was disappointed you said you could see it, but I could not ROFL. Of course, this means, I am just going to have to try it myself now. Tks for the great vids. It's fun to be going on this journey with you.

[@JurikoSann]

The anxiety is real when Zak is just casually walking the wolf and having his back to it the entire time. And All I can think about is: "Any second this wolf will hit him from behind omg" lol - Keep the episodes coming Zak!

[@gerwrant]

54:50 THIS is the reason i love Mountaineer's Hut so much, you can do everything all day and night for the expense of less stable temperature, which isn't that big of a deal in the late game

[@Hella-cones]

Impeccable timing- I just caught up on the series last night. Time to put an herbal tea in my cooking pot and watch the next episode!

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

i watch these at x1.5 speed. when u laugh it reminds me of Elmer Fudd lol. good times.

[@SalladLimeParsnip]

comment #100: I just watched some Starfield content creators (early access starts today) and I just realized why this channel is so good (also the game). Here is no emotional stuff like screaming or reacting in "fun ways", no visual stuff, HUD or pop ups, to break emersion (except the occational offline follow, but that's just cute) - and no, what to call it, lack of awareness, unfocusedness... In all, care for the viewers! And we appreciate it sooo much

[@Zaknafein]

Thank you :) I try to keep things clean and narratively engaging, with only patreon text etc at the beginning

[@christianjarrett9002]

found your channel a week ago and its been really helpful on the long dark and enjoyable to watch as my school has been closed for a bit and i have been very bored so thanks for the high quality content.

[@friedmandesigns]

Zak and his vids nuke boredom very well ... fun, clever, informative, great gameplay and tips. Enjoy your TLD adventures and school when it's back in session. :)

[@John-tx1wk]

I've had that in Mountaineer's Hut as well where you can sometimes read and craft at night without an aurora. But there seems to be no rhyme or reason to when you can do it in regards to weather conditions or how bright it is. I think it's a glitch.

[@ThaBukkakeCatapult]

Thank you mate, for all the knowledge shared, you make interloper seem easy Mode. 😅

[@kurgisempyrion6125]

Got to admit after killing over 500 wolves in Stalker I just turn them off for my sandbox runs as they are a poorly implemented mechanic imo. Would of been much better if there had been fewer but more difficult interactions and certainly not endless respawning but each to their own.

[@jensjensen7504]

I seeing you also closing doors, i wonder why they didnt impliment some sort of warmth bonus for actually closing doors. Not expecting a huge amount, but 1-2'c wouldnt hurt :D

[@cyrus05w]

If one has time if you had to the lookout across from the abandoned lookout in mountain Town notice when you open the door there's a whole different audio from when the door is closed if there's weather outside. I was trying to ponder your comment and this is the closest thing I could think of it's not anything to do with temperature but it's a definite indicator that a door is opened and not opened. This probably other places but this one popped in my head first. One would think though that the temperature would change if the door is open and it's a small space while there's no loading screen.

[@tylerweese2213]

I think it does I always see a hint in loading screens telling me to shut doors for extra warmth

[@rune5416]

Soon I'll start my new run after the console update and I'll be sure to praise Larry

Loving the series still Zak! I’m looking forward to seeing how the mid-game goes with mapping and misc location looting :)

[@jamesmcdonald3054]

Millions of peaches, peaches for free. At least that's what I found in that container @ 1:09:38

[@Freeeez3]

in case you're interested, at 34:00 you're talking about the two crates in the back of the plane - in my run, loper as well, actually both of them had loot: one was accelerant and matches, the other had loot as well, itwas a rope and i think crampons? i certainly had crampons somewhere on the summit but can't remember where. there was a second rope in the summit cave, and actually a third rope in the little cave below the summit. but yea certainly worth checking both of those crates.

[@motrixon8924]

Hey Zak, 38:56 cheesy technics with fire. Do you know if torches’ temperatures stack up? E.g., can you throw 5 torches and get +15C bonus?

Yes, they stack. In my Stalker video you can see an example of it, where a moose is too far from a fire

Nice zen video as always. 1:21:00 the sticks and branches outside the mountaineer hut are bugged, you see them when going to the hut and they are gone when exiting the hut.

[@cyrus05w]

On the aspect of Zen if the channel producer doesn't mind as mentioned prior in videos do you wish for another channel producer's name that also does the smooth talk with awesome stuff? I noticed a lot of people talking about the phonetic and zoning one can do to this videos while I was here for the information I do have to agree it is quite appeasing to the ears isn't it.

[@robertmoats1890]

I think the crampons do actually end up influencing how much fatigue is used to climb ropes. But if I'm correct, it is indirectly. I believe you climb faster at high stamina and quite a bit slower at low stamina. And your fatigue drains linearly while climbing, as far as I can tell. Anyway, I believe keeping your stamina as high as possible will shorten your climb duration, reducing fatigue. But I have never timed the difference, so I could be wrong! I guessed 63 for the fire striker. So close!

[@Kuldirongaze1]

You can read outside if it's a full moon as its produces enough light.

I've been curious what kind of plane this was carrying canned peaches and airline food, leather and cloth and sewing materials, sharpening stones, a fricken rifle and associated ammo and a rifle training manual and several cleaning kits, 5 stims and bandages and antibiotics.... Is this an army supply plane? who flies with leather and pelts in their cargo? I swear its gotta be a different plane from the one in northern pleasant valley with the passengers

Passenger planes also carry freight simultaneously. This game is 100% realistic, that must be the answer.

[@Zachmunzter]

Oh also, I wanted to ask; what’s the highest level to get shooting up to in Interloper?

[@cyrus05w]

I believe you can max it out as mentioned in a prior video because you can find I think three bullets somewhere and as long as you have access to the mechanism and gunpowder you can go right to the tip top level by making and deconstructing and making bullets but I'm not sure it may have changed.
