what do i do...

[Protag]

so im on day 5 and im still in the starting area with the 1st base. i just wander around searching for items until it gets dark but im just lost on what the objective is. i went to the abandoned house that has the basement with the doorway and its safe to assume that the objective is to get the key back but i have made NO progress...


i have explored alot of areas and even met the wolf-man but i still have no idea what i do beyond this point

[Super]

So you did everything correctly, no worries.

Your next step should be to go to the Silent Forest and meet the wolf there. He should be marked on your map. The Wolf tells you to meet him there, from there you will progress deeper into the story. Also look for the second hideout as well inside the Silent Forest... cause you'll need to migrate there...

When you move from zone to zone you'll change hideouts. This game does not hold your hand at all, but I am happy to help at any time.

how do i get to the silent forest? the area was blocked, does it unblock if you talk to the wolf?

[Super]

It shouldnt be blocked. Each playthough is randomized, so I wouldnt know if its located to your left or right from your current location. Press (M) to open your map and hover your mouse over each zone. It will display at the bottom of the map (Silent Forest) (Dry Meadow) or (Old Woods)

You were probably at the wrong entrance (Old Woods) you need to find the Silent Forest Entrance. You are currently in the Dry Meadow.

once you get near the entrance to the silent forest... There are a ton of trees that will lead you to a house. The trees are tight to eachother, you'll know when you find it because it is unlike anywhere in the first forest (Zone)

anyway, the wolf didnt tell me to meet him anywhere. i found the trees you were talking about but i couldnt do anything in the house because all the doors were locked

[Super]

Doors are locked, correct. They need a code. You can recieve the code from a note on the ground located in the house.

[Null Winter]

Also, your character's journal usually provides reminders about objectives. Check it after any major event. Wolf did tell you to meet him at his second hideout, and he marked it on your map.

right so, i couldnt find any notes on the ground but i did find a savage in the last room i looked. i was unable to see any notes before the savage killed me 3 times, so in order to get the game moving i just decided to look up the door code. yes, a walkthrough would normally be frowned upon as this game is best played spoiler-free, but i just needed to ADVANCE. anyway, i am now in the silent forest, found the 2nd hideout and the wolf-man has tasked me to find a village. i got far.

No worries, the game is hard. No shame in looking up a code. A lot of the objects you can interact with look like they are a part of the world. My friend recently bought the game and didn't know he could interact with half of everything. Goodluck in the Silent Forest

If you listened to wolfy, he told you to head for the silent woods. On the way there you should find a house that, near the exist leading to the silent forest, has a body which will have a map on it, telling you where the silent woods base is. head over to your new home, dont worry about leaving items in your old home. that will be dealt with eventually. GOOD LUCK

okay so another problem i ran into while in the silent forest is that i cant survive in hideout 2 for some reason. i try to hide in the hideout, with all the lights off, bunkered down into a room and i still manage to get found and killed by a savage.

the room in question is the same room where the oven and workshop is, i didnt think the oven would produce enough light for it to be a problem.


the main problem is that hideout 2 has so many openings and entrances, where is it safe to bunker down in?

[MazyRun]

Claim a larger area for yourself, an area that you can move around in, and fight in, as well as escape from.

Own the area you decide to camp out, master the combat and kill whatever you can (corpse loot is a valuable resource).

Hideouts usually get progressively harder with each zone. Harder enemies... and bigger rooms to manage. Its up to you as the player to defend what you believe is the easiest room(s) to defend.

What I usually do... is I hunker down in the main living room and the hallway next to it. I use a wardrobe for the "opening" to block the spot I can't build a door in. When enemies run into it they freak out and don't usually break it, and they can't push it.

Then... I take all the existing funiture thats left and block the doors that are near the torn down part of the house. Wedging the funiture in perfectly so the enemies RARELY break it down and can't push it away.

I leave both lights to light up the living room and hallway. (they will find you whether you have your lights on or not...) Barricade EVERY window and door connected to those rooms EXCEPT... the door to the bathroom. (The room with the bathtub in it). The room with the workbench I barricade those two windows and not the door. (That is my entrance door). but it should be blocked by other funiture (dressers/bathtub/chairs/or desk)

When night time comes I make sure to have everything I need and I never go into that dark spot in my house with the workbench and bathroom. I leave it dark. 8 times out of ten nothing will ever get into my house. Unless they break through the windows. I hope you understand what I just said.

[Mr Shoes]

The critters of the night always smash up furniture I use to block enty :s

[jewusmaximus]

man this game really is not that hard. You can EASILY kill anything that gets thrown at you. Craft a weapon, Molotov coctails, Bear Traps, your char is literally the most dangerous being in these woods. Use your most important weapon: Human intellect to overcome strong beasts. A sharpened shovel does the trick aswell. Just don't be the prey, be the hunter ;) those are YOUR fokkin woods^^

i recommend you to just figure it out yourself.
ive done the same, and my friend didnt.
i had a great time and saw some awesome things that i wont spoil
my friend got spoiled on these moments before he even reached them wich caused the effect of the situation to lessen
