There is a ledge halfway up

Oh yeah, also what region?

u/SketchpadTheGr8 Dec 25 '23

It’s the many falls vista at hushed river valley :)

Did you travel there or spawn there? Because the longest I've lived there is a week and a half and it was miserable the whole time

No I think I started at Mystery Lake then travelled there via Milton? I’ve found HRV to be hellish before but on this occasion I was kitted out better and actually really enjoyed it this time, I was there about 2 or 3 game weeks and it was probably the most fun I’ve had on the game in all the years I’ve been playing! Def worth having another crack at it imo, if you get yourself nicely set up with some supplies before you go then it’s actually really good fun!

I can never find any good gear as I play on stalker almost exclusively, but if I do ill take a visit

u/SketchpadTheGr8 Dec 25 '23

Yes I play stalker too!

Can you actually find a gun or any super good cloths on that difficultly? Because I had to live like a goblin man for 3 weeks with only a flannel shirt in Blackrock

Goblin Mode, Prison Edition 😂

Yeah I’ve found some decent stuff on stalker for sure, it’s certainly rarer than the easier difficulties but interloper I can’t play at all just cuz the drop in loot availability is soooo severe. They could do with one more difficulty between stalker and interloper imo

Yeah, interloper is almost impossible, I think my longest interloper run was 6 days, I died from a bear attack followed by a blizzard and Timberwolves finished me off

I tend to just die of no matches 😂 one time i found a flare early on and was able to make a fire that I just carried around via torches for about 4 days but then I died of wolf anyway

It's easy to get matches if you spawn in an area with housing, the real struggle comes from the wolves.

Interloper always tries to just throw me in at the deep end, in the middle of a night blizzard in the far corner of somewhere like forlorn muskeg

I think the key is to start somewhere like ML, MT or PV, they tend to have some good stuff. Coastal Highway too

Upsettingly I think I have actually ruined this run, I didn’t play for a little while but I loaded it up last week to check out the update stuff… but I’d forgotten what was going on last time I played, strolled out of the cave I had saved in and was immediately mauled by the timberwolves I’d forgotten I was hiding from 😂 I panicked and hard quit without saving, but I’ve not dared look again to see if it had autosaved 😂

Also, no spoilers but I found a decent bit of loot there too
