Connections: Mystery Lake, Pleasant Valley.

Good place to visit if you need a Forge and don’t have the gear or skill to sleep in Forlorn Muskeg while you use that one. If there are wolves near the tracks it can be tough to navigate without confrontation, and it will only take a day or two to fully explore the zone. Broken Railroad Mapīroken Railroad is a small zone that exists almost entirely near a set of railroad tracks that run through it. If you’ve got what it takes to survive the Timberwolves, there’s good hunting to be had in Bleak Inlet. The Milling Machine can be used to repair tools and weapons during the Aurora, and the Ammunition Workbench can craft ammunition for the Rifle and Revolver. Bleak Inlet also features two new workstations which are not currently found in other zones: the Milling Machine and Ammunition Workbench. Timberwolves travel in packs and present a significant challenge to even veteran players.

It is the first region to feature Timberwolves in Survival mode.

Connections: Forlorn Muskeg, Ravine (to Coastal Highway or Mystery Lake)īleak Inlet is the newest region in The Long Dark, and for reasons other than lack of indoor locations, it perhaps its most dangerous.

If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, there’s good loot to be found here, including crazy amounts of Cat Tails to eat. There are lots of wolves, but they are also easy to spot. There are two bears but you can see them coming a mile away. It does feature one of the in-game forges, so it’s a region most players will visit eventually. Most of the ice is weak, which makes travel difficult. There are buildings but they are mostly exposed to the elements.

Connections: Broken Railroad, Milton Basin (to Mountain Town), Mystery Lake, Bleak Inletįorlorn Muskeg is another region that doesn’t feature any indoor locations.

If you live, you’ll be one of the best out there, assuming you aren’t playing on Pilgrim or Voyageur.

If you want to truly test yourself, walk in and refuse to walk back out for 30 days. It’s easy to get lost and unforgiving if you do. Expect to spend almost every moment outside and be ready to do a lot of climbing to make your way around the zone. Hushed River Valley might be the deadliest region in The Long Dark, featuring no indoor locations aside from caves. Mountain Town is a pretty cool place to visit, but not somewhere many players would want to live. It’s a necessary stop on the way to Hushed River Valley, perhaps the most punishing zone in The Long Dark. Wolves can be problematic in town due to the short sight lines caused by the many buildings. Mountain Town (Milton in story mode) features many houses, meaning it can be a great place to find clothing items.
