Top 10 Best Locations in The Long Dark

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

everyone is talking about the camp office in mystery lake and im over here like "what about the gas station in coastal highway, it's got a workbench, fire, bed, storage, tons of food, lots of surrounding houses to roam, right in the middle of the map, and instant access to the lake for ice fishing and easy deer"

[@胡詠瑄]

That's right, though there are lots of wolves

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

wolves aren't really that big of an issue though if they attack you they either die or get left with very low health leaving a lot of meat, guts, and a pelt. I see it as a plus

[@ChaosToRule]

Playing on easy I see.

[@tristen8089]

Unless you get unlucky and have a bear walk by the gas station in the afternoons everyday

[@robertwebb320]

I’m actually in the process of moving from the Camp Office in Mystery lake to the Gas Station in Coastal Highway, it’s a long walk and I need to do 4-5 trips to actually move all of my important things but I think the Gas station is in a great area for long term survival. The only drawback is it doesn’t have a big stove like the camp office has, being able to cook 3 things at the same time is a great thing about the office

[@Staremperor]

I like Camp office in Mystery Lake very much. Great position and it's beautiful to see when you are running from a wolf.

[@molagballin_]

Same, it's my favourite "first main camp" to use, 'cos it puts me at a quick run to the Dam, Trapper's Cabin and a short distance to Forlorn Musket to craft some early arrow heads.

[@Hustwick]

Same. I always use it as my first base as it's a nice central location (and often there's a bunker not too far). I try and manage 30 - 50 days here before moving on to the Dam and then stretch it out until I'm ready for Misanthrope's - Good for 100+ days. Then on to Desolation Point ... etc ...

[@Ram-xw4kj]

That was my favo too untill is saw that farm in Pleasent valley.

[@Ram-xw4kj]

@@molagballin_ How can you make arrow heads so early? You will need powerfull hammer for that. I have gone through the whole Mystery lake several times and have not been able to find it.

[@MihaiLeonardoNiculescu]

@@Ram-xw4kj if it is of any help now, 7 months later, there's no hammer in mystery lake. Only in the muskeg and desolation point. F

[@kevnar]

My boy started up a new game, all gung-ho to make his way to Trapper's Cabin against all odds. As soon as he spawned in, he was in the damn cabin. We laughed pretty hard. No gun though.

[@hashtagzema]

Hilarious! Yeah, they removed it, at least on the hard mode. Still haven't found it - after about 20 hours in HM, I have found 2 revolvers though, that's nice.

[@the_jingo]

Nick Zema that’s biggest bull shit I ever heard there’s no revolver in this game dumbass

[@cristianbussi1061]

The Jingo they added revolvers a few months back, you ignorant fuck

[@blueoceancorporations1019]

For me, the riken is a horrible base location. I also require a certain level of homeliness from my base, and the banging and annoying noises make me feel uncomfortable. I also hate Milton House. The house itself is very nice, but the surroundings have eerie noises and never feel safe. My absolute favorite is the Trapper's cabin with the lonely lighthouse and the camp office not too far behind.

[@SasDuda]

I have lived at lonely lighthouse for a long time, it's not worth it. Pretty dangerous location for a bear and wolves, there's a cave where they spawn. They location is shitty because it's right at the corner of the map and the only thing that worth there is a new revolver and the riken furnace. I have died because of the long way back.

[@admdogrugirdigimdenemindeg9751]

Blue Ocean Corporations same

[@MrBNutzer]

In my opinion, nothing beats the lookout point at coastal highway. The view if sun is rising - awesome!

[@sarasthoughts]

Oh my god I thought I was the only stupid person who couldn't find the door on the lookout

[@shadowdeslaar]

[@ImaginationGamer25]

I'm not alone! I circled that door at least four or five times yelling, "Where's the door? Where's the door?! WHERE'S THE DOOR?!" I finally see the door, "Oh... there's the door." I promptly facepalm myself.

[@samwasserman1837]

Trapper's Cabin and the Quonset Garage are my favorite spots to hunker down for a bit. I like to make it over to the farmhouse in Milton for endgame living.

[@novak-ov5744]

Timberwolf mountain, don’t forget your hacksaw!

[@Liofa73]

The game has changed a lot, in 2018 the locations in this video are far more polished with many more items on the ground.

[@maxonator4226]

The trappers cabin actually does host a bear and wolves. It is good loot, though probably not the best place to go if you don't want to encounter a bear

[@ImperialDiecast]

the bear is much further up near the unnamed pond.

[@earlferry2104]

there is a moose that comes by the trappers cabin 2

[@earlferry2104]

@@ImperialDiecast they bear den is near the clearing behind the barn

[@sparkz9502]

Yeah, the lookout tower isn't really the most rewarding shelter but it is still very iconic and relatively unchanged from 2014 to now. It was the first place I stayed the night in after loading the game for the first time, and watching the storms outside was just so harrowing and immersive.

[@douggiles7647]

It's awesome to look back at old videos like this and see how much the game has improved and expanded over the years. That footage of the old lookout before it was destroyed was really cool to see and it's kind of strange to see you talking about everything without the context the story added but also pretty awesome.

[@bugsmith9751]

to this day i still miss fluffy

[@neikoo7785]

Just bought the game and stumbled in to the cabin on the brink of death, found food and water, fire wood and a bed. PErfect location (nr1

[@evry1tookem]

You could tell me the shittiest story in the world and I would enjoy it.

[@ulyssesgrant4324]

evry1tookem same here

[@TongueLess]

Oh what coincidence that I'm shitting right now

[@Cedar77]

Paradise Meadows Farm was my favorite place to stay for a long time. Tons of supplies in the town, there was a rifle on the bed in the farm house, a revolver in town, bunnies and deer everywhere, berries, saplings,... just a great place to stay.

[@Sev3617]

Story mode needs to get here like.. Now. Lol. I'm so sad, i had been surviving for 85 In game days on TLD and the funny thing is. Is that just before i died i had a good 4-5 day journey from the bottom of timberwolf mountain to the plane crash, and during the journey. I SHIT YOU NOT I came Within a HAIR Of Death (I was at 1%) at one point and BARELY Made it and spent the next few days from there constantly leaving a cave to go out to scrounge together firewood to keep myself warm and each time i did it my condition went from 11% to 3% and so fourth. I ended up getting lucky and a wolf killed 2 nearby dears and i was harvesting them for food 5kgs at a time. Anyways, it was a fucking struggle. But i Didn't die on Timbberwolf, Nope. I died outside of timberwolf in that wrecked cabin next to the rope that you use to get into timberwolf mountain.. And i was at 100% condition.. I got hyperthermia cause i slept in there with a fire i lit until morning.. And froze to death. HOORAY! .-.

[@randomiseuser]

+Sev3617 Oh man! Nice story.

[@Sev3617]

Randomise User Lol.. Thanks.. still can't believe i survived the most harsh region and made it out of it at 100% condition Just to die 5 feet away from the entrance to the most deadly region.. That wsa a real slap in the face xD

[@killingfrenzycreator]

The first time I tried to survive for a long time, I made it 17 days in. I entered the Ravine to get to Coastal Highway and I really wanted to get inside the ravine (this was back when I was very new to the game, it was my first time leaving Mystery Lake). I found an easy way down, which was a bunch of boulders lined up to almost be like a staircase. I dropped two feet onto another boulder and died from falling injuries because it was off the map. I was pretty pissed, since it was such a frustrating way to go, but in hindsight it's kinda funny.

[@kingofrivia1248]

600 days...

[@Sev3617]

killingfrenzycreator oh jeez.. i tried the same thing (Not on a serious run, just wanted to get down there so i started a new save and figured the game would just let me jump down rather than having to find a rope) and it auto kills you because i guess the game recognizes that if you go down there without a rope, you wont be able to get back out... Lol..

[@adamrodgers9175]

Pleasant valley is the hot spot so far. Basically any place with Six burner stove. But with pleasant valley you can set up a good rabbit trap line. Basically pleasant is best for rabbits, collecting sticks, 6 burner stove and quick access to timber wolf for a moose.

[@zerokilo5811]

pleasant Valley Barn... I love just sitting in the pickup and wondering if it could ever be fixed.....

[@RetechDragonflame]

My favourite place of all I explored so far is the Hydro Dam. While big, dark and intimidating, exploring the place with just a light from your storm lantern brings some kind of inner peace to me. Also why is that wolf callef Fluffy? THERE ARE STAIRS UPSTAIRS IN THE SHIP?! God damit. Well at least I guess I have something to do while waiting for bear furs to dry out, which doesn't include playing pyromaniac starting two fires over and over again.

[@dezoito55]

Maintenance Yard has a lot of suplies, a bed, a cooking barrel, and a forge. How can it not be on this list? And the Lonely Lighthouse is also very great.

[@samettekin9940]

Look at the date of this video. When this video filmed maintenance yard wasn't even exist.

[@dezoito55]

Oh I did not know that

[@AstraeaNova]

We need an updated version of this lol.

[@voolcow1440]

I once spawned in trappers cabin... I'm unlucky.... I didn't get a hatchet but a gun

[@Dankkola]

Personally I prefer the hunting lodge over any other location. The chance of a moose spawning allows for the creation of a moose-hide satchel, and there are wolves and bears that spawn in surrounding areas. There is also a high chance of a rifle spawning, along with mukluks or ski boots. Going from the lodge to the maintenance yard is easy when you scale the side of the cliff.

[@noober83]

I actually liked the stone church. There's plenty of rabbits, a fireplace, other nearby buildings and overall a certain abundance of resources.

[@unternimmdasnick]

Still playing and loving this game! Especially with the latest updates!

[@jazzycabbages5743]

I have to ask, is the Timberwolf summit a safe place? I wouldn't imagine any bears or wolves living up that high on the mountain, and since there's supplies, you might be able to set up a supply cache or semi-safe base.

[@mohamadarif8478]

my fav is camp office in mystery lake..its near the fishing hut..best place to stay for a couple days

[@ninja_tony]

I'm surprised the camp office in Mystery Lake isn't on here. I figured some things would be missing since I know the video is a few years old, but since that's one of the original locations in the game, I sort of expected it would be high on the list. Surprised it was missing completely because it's probably one of the most well known bases in the game lol. Awesome video though, I loved hearing more about some of the spots I'm not as familiar with.

[@jasonwong972]

Currently holed up at the Pleasant Valley Farmhouse on Stalker difficulty. Aside from the occasional need to clear out the farmlands of wolves (current record was 10 wolves in a day), it's a nice place. I live in the porch with a bedroll because it's just too dark inside to make use of the bed.

[@mikenormandy9250]

Awesome watching this video and seeing how much has changed! they added so much stuff to this game, Carter Hydro Dam was so barebones and different! I love that this game came out in 2014 and they are still working on it! I wonder if it'll ever be a final product?! maybe when Wintermute Episode 5 comes out?!

[@creepygamercom]

You can climb down at the Train Crash, there's a Rope somewhere around there. There's also a Distress Pistol hidden in some kind of Bus.

[@Samimies]

Would like to see a 2022 revision of this.

[@ilikechamomile4502]

The best base location is the revine cave near the mystery lake entrance no wolves and deer and rabbit spawn plus close to the dam, if you take a short cut through the river you can get to the actual lake pretty quickly to fish in mystery lake also in the ravine there is a lot of wood

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

I like the big house on the left when you go over the bridge into Milton. Yep Milton is easy but I like the atmosphere of the once bustling community.

[@TheSuperhomosapien]

Milton is my preferred starting zone. All the loot is condensed into a small area.

[@ninja_tony]

I love Milton, and I always set up base in the Grey Mother's house as well, but...easy? lol I've never heard anyone call it that. It is compared to some of the more recent areas that have been added I suppose, but the constant wolf attacks alone make Milton a not so beginner friendly place in any difficulty above Pilgrim. You can't even walk out the front door without at least 2 wolves spotting you instantly. But yeah, it does have an insane amount of loot, and I usually start in Mystery Lake and head to Milton as soon as my supplies start running low.

[@phantomairsoft1]

My play through I survived 240 days and travelled almost every region and I struggled to make to hushed river valley to realize there was nothing there but a slow death for me I could never find my way out of there

[@ToyotaTrucks9]

I accidentally stumbled across trappers cabin, just randomly exploring mystery lake.

[@johnvandyk2592]

The best place to hold up is the Mountaineer's Hut on Timberwolf Mountain. You can go fishing, hunting or trek to the plane crash. I really want to fix the roof, but I can't even close the blasted window! What is up with that?

i will agree that the timberwolf summit was a bitch and a half to get to, also it's hard to see where the climbing spot is (i passed it like three times before i found it lol). It's the closest to death i have ever been to on this playthrough. I spent like 20 days surviving in the plane thanks to a container full of MREs. Thanks for showing the forge. i have been alive for months and have never seen a forge, i think that's the best part about this game is that i'm always finding new stuff to utilize!

7 years later and I believe that Desolation point is the worst region. It's not necessarily bad but it's really small and I thought that the remains of a whaling industry would have more to offer. Maybe one day they will hopefully add more.

[@ninja_tony]

Yeah, I didn't play the game until after it was taken out either, but I still feel a little freaked out in the dam anyway, because I always imagine what if it was randomly added back in at some point by the devs just to mess with people lol. Plus the dam just has a creepy atmosphere to begin with.
