#The long dark map pleasant valley update#
Now with an Navigation update and with a new area Bleak Inlet added to to game I figured I’d add my own guide covering the new content and tips for making this easier and faster to get.įor example now there are Polaroid pictures added to the game with 1 being in every area. Sashamorning has already made a wonderful guide that helped me get the achievement and you should refer to her guide as a reference for the other areas. HRV has the moose hide satchel at the signal fire for another +11lbs carrying capacity, but it takes up an accessory slot, and is harder to get to, and spawns in 1 of 2 random locations, so you can't beeline straight for it like the gold mine. Having both with you makes HRV a lot easier. Crampons can't be repaired, so just put them on for climbing and then take them off so they last forever. The gold mine in Ash Canyon has a backpack that doesn't take up any gear slot that gives a permanent +11lbs carrying capacity, and crampons, which makes rope climbing take less stamina. You'll also get enough MREs to have very weight efficient food for making Ash Canyon go smoothly. Make sure to bring a hacksaw to open the plane's metal crates. The summit of TM will kit you out with perfect clothing for all slots (on Pilgrim or Voyager), and a ton of coffee you can microdose right before rope climbs to make them all go smoother. Got everything done besides the furthest SW stuff with one vista.īetween the two tough sections - Hushed River Valley, Timberwolf Mountain + Ash Canyon, do the latter first. Hushed River Valley, especially, if you luck out and find one early you can get in and get out before the cliffs or a sudden blizzard has the chance to destroy your run. You'll get a huge part of the map automatically completed in most cases. On that note, it's almost always worthwhile to seek out vista pictures then complete them. If you strategically plan around it with the assumption of it acting like other vistas you'll have a bad time. Best to not incorporate vistas into your strategy for Ash Canyon. The one to the SE, when I mapped it, instead of getting the 75%-ish map completion that other vista pictures give, it gave about a 10% increased radius with no extra landmarks mapped. Watch out if you're trying to use vista pictures in Ash Canyon. Just map everything to be sure, including every time you transitionĪt the time I popped the achievement, I had found 211 locations and explored 89% of the world, so 100% is not necessary. There were also 2 locations on the list in HRV that I did not map.
#The long dark map pleasant valley Patch#
Also notice that as of the patch that fixed the bug, there is now a brand new region: Hushed River Valley.įor the record, I finally popped this when mapping an Ice Cave that had an icon, but nor did it not show up as a location trigger, not was marked in the list below. Also, make sure that locations that you find that are icons actually show as icons. I suggest you map every time that happens.
Every location will show up on your screen as having been found. I suggest putting a stash in each region where you can store necessary supplies.Įach location may be one of two types: Icons and Location Triggers. You must actually map each location using charcoal for it to count, which can be annoying since a lot of charcoal can be heavy. These locations are according to the official forums, posted by the admins.
That being said, who knows if new updates might affect this achievement later. Congratulations to derechtegraf1 for completing this first and proving that it does work! Note: This is a complete rewrite of this solution. More regions = more locations, so if you're looking to do this, better sooner than later.
In addition, Hinterland has announced another new region. Edit: This guide does not contain all of the new regions.
