Early Access and First Version
The game "Long Dark" suggests to feelmyself such a Beyr Gryllz - a famous master of survival in any, even the most extreme environment. We are introduced to two heroes - pilot Will McKenzie and a doctor named Astrid Greenwood, who must survive in a huge winter forest full of dangers and predators. We, as players, in turn, must make considerable efforts so that the characters not only did not die of hunger, but also managed to finally get out of the "cold imprisonment".
It is worth noting that this is not a full-fledged plot of "ZeeLong Dark ", and only a small background, helping to plunge into the passage.The game world is a" sandbox ", which is generated in a random order and gives users complete freedom of action.The fact is that any story in the" Long Dark "in the early access to Steam was not available, so users devoted all their time to survival alone.
Main Features
Survival was never easy. The protagonist in The Long Dark has to do a lot to not become a victim of an unfriendly mother-nature. Hunting for animals, searching for safe places, collecting provisions and exploring the territory - this is how the schedule looks for each day. Also a very important role is played by the biological parameters of the character. It's about hunger, thirst, low or high body temperature, calories and fatigue. If we turn a blind eye to the changes in our own (though virtual) body, we can safely say goodbye to the chances of salvation.
The game provides a variety of equipment,beginning with clothes, axes and rifles and ending with medicines, flares and flashlights. Each item in The Long Dark has a price, especially when so much is at stake.
Especially it is worth paying attention to different types of weapons. Using the marksmanship, you can not only protect yourself from predators, but also get a good dinner by shooting a deer or a rabbit.
We pass the first episode. The first chapter: days 1-3
The plot of the game "Long Dark" begins with the crashaircraft, after which, as one of the main characters, we find ourselves close to burning trees. The aircraft is not visible nearby, so we are heading to the cave, having got rid of the metal debris that was stuck in the palm of your hand. After reaching the place, you need to build a fire, deal with the wound and go to bed.
There comes a new day, and with it comesan unbearable feeling of thirst. We leave the cave and proceed to survey the area and scattered boxes everywhere. Do not forget about the fuel, because only with its help it will be possible to support the fire. Together with the collected supplies we return to the cave and extract water from the melted snow. After boiling it, in order to avoid possible infection, and treat yesterday's wound with an antiseptic found.
The whole next day we spend for collecting fuel for the fire (we recommend breaking wooden boxes) and we store water.
We continue the first chapter: days 4-5
The next morning we notice a fallen tree, climbing onwhich reveals the place where our jacket is, other useful things and a suitcase belonging to another character - Astrid. Then starts the video. Next to the suitcase we notice a deer carcass, from which it is possible to cut meat. On the way back, our hero turns an ankle, after which his morbid condition can be corrected with a dogrose decoction.
On the fifth day we try to continue our searchaircraft. Again, we climb onto that tree and continue to climb up the ledges. The very first chapter of our passage of the plot of the game "Long Dark" comes to an end. Watch the final video.
The second chapter: we go on scouting
We continue to move forward on the plot of "Long Dark." We follow Astrid, incidentally collecting a variety of supplies. On the way we will get a glade with rabbits - we can try to catch our lunch. We stumble upon another deer carcass, after which we turn left and reach the cave. Inside is a corpse, which with itself left a torch and a box of matches. We take it all with us, finish the inspection of the cave and go outside.
Once again in the open area, our herocollides with a wolf. Since he is busy absorbing a dead deer, it can be quietly bypassed. However, this is not the only meeting - there are a few more predators ahead of us. Each of them can be avoided without a direct collision. If something goes wrong, then we run towards the nearest shelter, for example, a car.
The second chapter: even more predators and Milton
A long journey takes us to the church aroundwhich wanders a wolf pack. You can go forward by armed with a torch. We search the church and go further, not forgetting to frighten off predators from time to time with flames and taking cover behind cars.
Soon we will see an abandoned settlementMilton. In the distance, there will be a column of smoke, which means that we are not alone in this place. We leave on the banker's house - it opens with a key that can be found in a bank nearby. Inside lives a blind old woman who agrees to tell us something interesting in exchange for chopped wood.
Chapter Three: Meeting with the Gray Mother
We continue our passage of the first episodethe plot of "Long Dark." Chapter 3 begins with the cutting of firewood. We search for a suitable tree and fill the woodpile with the required number of kilograms. After that, we return to the old woman, who is known as the Gray Mother. We watch a small video and go to search for food. The necessary amount of food should be ten kilograms: we try to walk through abandoned houses and deal with a couple of wolves. After that the Gray mother will share with us useful information. She will tell even more after we carry out the next assignment. This time the passage of the plot of "The Long Dark" sets us the task of scouting the situation near the city tunnel.
You need to stock up on provisions, repair the brokenequipment, and then go on the road. Next to the bus, which once was engaged in the transportation of prisoners, will lie the suitcase. After his inspection, the next cut-scene will be launched. We rush back to the old woman, give her collected mushrooms Reishi (this gesture will significantly increase the level of confidence) and report on the littered tunnel. The gray mother is very upset and goes to bed.
The third chapter: new instructions
After a while we return to the houseAn old woman who reports the code to a bank vault. After our visit to the banker's house, we keep our way to the nearby farm. Already in place, our hero must fight with a lone wolf, who lurked in the barn. After the fight, you need to find two keys: one will lie on the corpse, and the second - inside the blue pickup truck.
We go into the farmhouse and pick up one morethe key that must go to the bank cell. We return to Milton and move towards the bank. In the cell numbered "15" will lie the belongings of the Gray mother.
After the return of stolen things, the old womanwill please us with another assignment. This time we need to go to the cemetery, not far from the church, where Lily's grave is. We go there then to leave the pearl decoration given to us by the Gray Mother. After the task is completed, we return to the house of the old woman, who will tell us about her deceased daughter. We will be allowed to take her outfit and advise to keep the course towards Undisclosed mills.
We pass to the final part of the passage of the plot of "Long Dark" in the first episode.
The fourth and final chapter
We wait, when the morning comes and go toway. We do not forget how to prepare: we gather supplies, water and fix the damaged equipment. Our road should lead us to a mountain park. We find places reserved for picnics, and we try to descend down the slope, insuring ourselves with an alpinist rope. Already at the very ground there will be a small emergency, and the character will get off only by a slight bruise.
After this, it is necessary to follow the path,guided by the map of Lilies. By the way, during the trip you can please your hero with a small halt and make up for energy. Finally, we will come across a waterfall and a small cave. If we go through it, then a duel will unfold between the bear and the unknown hunter.
On this first episode of The Long Dark comes tothe end. After the credits we will have the opportunity to continue the passage. We finish our guide on this chapter. In the plot of episode 2 in "Long Dark" we are waiting for even more tests, as well as meeting with new characters. We strongly recommend that you try this game yourself and refer to the guides only if the passage causes real difficulties.
In search of a signal pistol
To get a signal pistol is to greatly simplify the passage. To find it in the plot of "Long Dark", will have to try very hard, because it appears only after the "team" of the Gray mother.
The weapon fires signal rockets and veryeffectively copes with many tasks. We hope that our small guide will help to answer the question of where, in the story, in "Zee Long Dark" find a signal pistol.
Let us turn to the first episode. Not far from the place where the School is located, to the west of Milton, there are several houses. It is necessary to choose the most central building and look for the gun inside, next to the toilet, where there is a small red carpet. Attention: the presence of this secret stock in the game is directly related to the Gray Mother, who should hint at him.
In the second episode, the pistol, together with a small stock of missiles, is hidden inside the orange box. To find it, you need to search the dam.
Why is it needed?
We have already touched on the effectiveness of the signalingpistol at the beginning of this chapter. So what exactly can you do with it? The greatest use of weapons brings in repelling wild animals. Although the signal pistol was not designed to kill a living creature, they can still be lethal. By the way, it's worth mentioning that only this weapon can scare off a wild bear. Even the guns are useless in this case, so it's better not to risk without a signal gun.
