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.
