The Long Dark - Transition from Pleasant Valley to Mystery Lake

This video was made to show you how to find the cave from Pleasant Valley to Mystery Lake, and the best path to use for the transition. I start out at Signal Hill and end the video outside the Carter Hydro Dam.

Much obliged, moreso for not having any BS commentary. It is difficult to look for this stuff when you are evading an invincible bear.

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

Glad it was helpful! Commentary always annoys me, but turns out that to be really popular on KZbin you need the commentary, lol.

[@Daniel-mb5md]

Dude I can't believe the cave was right there I was looking so long like a dumbass thank you, I will complete nomad challenge now

[@Matiks1-6]

SAME!!!!!!

[@daltonvargas15]

This is called the "not decent map effect". Don't feel embarrassed, it's normal. Seriously, they could at least put a compass in the game as an item like in The Forest.

No problem! The camp office is my favorite base camp. :)

This is still accurate and helpful to this day. Thank you dude.

[@ChristsChosen]

This game is a blast. 30 days alive LOL. Almost died multiple times looking for shelter in a blizzard. Been looking for Mystery lake for hours.. Thanks.

+SnowdenHero X Glad I was able to help! The game certainly is great fun. I'm working on getting a place in the top 100 list right now. :)

[@interitus1152]

Thank you man I was lost in this region I was beginning to think that I am stuck here plus when I was playing this video I was in that hut

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

+Jerome Barrameda Awesome, glad I could help!

[@b1064572]

Thank you so much! I had been searching for so long, always returning to the same place but never finding the cave. Thanks to you I have finally found it!

[@wildernessrick9278]

My first successful playthrough (currently ongoing), I spawned in Pleasant Valley. It took me 50 days to discover the route up to the coal mine, and into Coastal Highway. I've since made CH my *main* base, with a couple regional outposts in ML, TM and of course PV. In that span of time, I have mapped out (just about) every single corner of Pleasant Valley, yet TO THIS DAY, have not found the connection TO Mystery Lake. That will change today! Haha. Day 180. Thank you for this video!

[@nannakurzhaar]

amazing, thanks for the video, it's still helpful :) no idea how you are able to orientate like this 👍

[@docburn6189]

thank dude! i got a bear after me.. could not find tha damn entrance!

Glad I could help!

8 years later and saving my nomad run! Ta!

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Thanks man, this helped. Was coming from the fishing hut on the pond, but kept getting caught up on false paths to the cave I was looking for. Was in PV for so long I'd forgotten what landmarks to look for to find the right ledge to the cave.

[@cschenck90]

Omfg the window to the dam thats how i get back in

[@genderlesswhale2868]

God bless you. I didn't realize the entrance back into the hydrodam was there and was stuck in pleasant valley for about a game week, I'm dumb.

[@airic2897]

So hard to find in the blizzard haha. I'm right around those trees going wut the eff m8

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

I know what you mean! I was trying to do the Nomad achievement a few weeks back, and twice in a row I got killed by an endless blizzard! Far worse than wolves....

[@falcor6820]

Ohhhhh that's how u got back in, im based in the trapper cabin and was using the guest center as a store house, but I wanted to move out to pleasant Valley bc of the huge farm house and game out there

[@goose_bumps3181]

Hey, can you help me? Just want to know what the "guest house" is... For storage ofcourse

[@falcor6820]

@@goose_bumps3181 I haven't played in a bit but the guest center is a decent sized cabin, its right next to the train tracks and branches off to the frozen lake

[@falcor6820]

@@goose_bumps3181 I would store stuff like extra wood, tools, and junk food, stuff that was useful but not thr best

8 years later and still helpful

[@JollywoodJoel]

i stared right at that spot, didn't even notice the window was a path. I told myself I would only look up how to get back to Mystery Lake after I figured it out, however I took a very long path around 5 IRL days later through Coastal Highway O.o

[@billant88]

Thanks this helped me heaps, tue amount of times i walked right past that cave from pleasant valley

[@ProfessorSmall]

Thank you!

Thanks 🤩

[@7passionstar]

Thank you, that's just what I needed!

[@OlafurArons]

I'm pretty sure this isn't where the cave takes you now (from mystery lake). I went there by mistake and now that i'm thinking of how to map my way back i'm like wtf!? i guess i'll have to look at my recordings.

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

+OlafurArons I haven't traveled between areas in a while, but it isn't like Hitherland to make major changes to already existing areas, so I'm not sure.

[@GilmarGimi]

just save me 9 years later, ty

[@benji_lujan]

I literally died the the other night because I did not look up for that window! lol... I camped out on the balconies for 1 night and 1 blizzard, then moved onto pleasant valley to head down the long curve and die! lol

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

+Ben Lujan Man, that stinks! It's amazing how quick things can go bad in this game, lol.

[@cosmin8081]

Man I am in the same situation , from the carter hydro dam i go down to the lake through the caves in pleasant valley , found the car on the long curve , gone deep in the forest , found a destroyed house with a dead man there , and settle down befor blizzard and dark comming , 1 step for death I can say....too bad for me cuz I didnt check the broken window from the beginning ....I just hope I can make it back , I dont have left many resources .....But it maked a nice story tho...I am new and noob at this game tho but the last update make him very good to play .

Thank u by sharing

tysm, im doing the bear challenge and needed a route to get out of the valley, wish me luck

[@crystalp.286]

Thank you!

[@bineweiss91]

Is there only one wait out from the cave?

[@aboutrobots]

I came in PV during foggy weather and had forgotten my bedroll in winding river. I walked in front of that tree 3 times and couldn't find that cave!! I had even made an arrow in sticks near the bridge with the exact direction I came from and still couldn't find it! This video saved my run (my previous run also went to hell after I forgot my bedroll somewhere...)

[@WildKarrdeGaming]

Glad it could help!
