Heading to Hushed River Valley. Any ADVICE?

[TRICKY]

I am on day 15 Interloper, Forlorn Muskeg. Where is the nearest entrance to this new region? I dont want to ruin my run so.. What should be i aware of? What should i bring to the new region? Whats the most suitable place to make a base?.. Are there many wolves around? Is there any spot, that i shoud not miss, or head towards it first? With a lot of stuff?
Yes, tt sounds very spoilery, but i like rather to be prepared to discover new areas, than be surprised later.. My gameplay is slow paced, no risk, be smart.. thanks for any smart advice!

Lets just say the most obvious shelter isn't as perfect as you might initially think :)

Entrance is a newly opened cave in Mountain Town, near the lone trailer.

Take hatchets. Since there is no forge there, and you NEED hatchets to get through some new plantlife that blocks a bunch of stuff, you need hatchets, until you manage to find the random Imp hatchets that *may* be laying around.

Lots of wolves, beware the Fluffy Ice Cave wolf. Bear also, not sure if Moose are there, but I think some folks have reported signs?

Seriously dense trees, map has a ton of vertical space that must be covered to get to big loot drops and interesting new feature areas.

Have the best clothing you can. the hidden caches give some clothing, but there are no houses to loot for more, the drop rate and condition is likely going to be really low for an Interloper, and there is no workbench to craft animal skins clothing or gear. There is a possible Moose satchel at the one most notable special location. Not sure if it is guaranteed or not.

Not sure what else I can share. I haven't lived long enough in Voyageur or Stlker to really know the entire map, and my Pilgrim runs are likely as different as can possibly be, so not really good for comparison for a Loper.

I would have good clothing or take loads of material to make a shelter when you need to although there are quite a few caves around also. Take lots of charcoal for mapping as helps a lot - very difficult map to know where you are and where you need to go...

good idea.. to bring material for a shelter.. i usually dont map, but if the region is very variable without landmarks, it would be a good idea..

thanks IFIYGD fot the other info. i crafted hatchet a day ago :)

Waterfalls put out flares, torches, brands and matches, bring a towel if you play under any. Crafting in MT trailer is closest. Lots of sapplings, omb, reishi, rosehips and all wildlife has been reported.

Spawn there is more fun. If spawn near transition cave, go for right that find most tools need.

Ice caves are warm, good places for sleep, may have... "room mate".

[Nil Desperandum]

Not an awful lot of clothing as loot on my run (Custom) not found any cloth whatsoever, so go well kitted out. Try take some cloth with you - enough for a couple of snow shelters if you can. Have muchly fun! It's beautiful!

[IFIYGD]

Just watch.

Tricky will be posting a video on how to speedrun from the transition cave to the Mysterious Signal Fire... and he'll do it in 5 in game hours or less. Legit. In Interloper.

I would almost bet my life on it, that if anyone can, it will be Tricky.

Challenge offered...

(Waits for Pagan to show up and throw things at me... lol!)

don't forget to bring a hatchet along...

Lol but seriously, my vid was just for posterity. I have no time to play long stretches of game time that much anymore, and no Interloper run that was close enough and geared up enough that I was willing to throwaway if things went bad

[nshaler]

This may be obvious, but bring plenty of cloth. You'll want to be able to build a snow shelter or repair any found clothes. Obviously, there are no curtains to tear down.

Also, always have a way out of your location. The climbing can be a little convusing in this region.

I'm weird in that I don't like to hear the spoilers (not saying it's wrong to give them, I pretty much just avoid reading them or watching the vids) or get the new info. I don't use Pilgrim to explore a new region either - I just plow on in. So spawning in Stalker in Hushed River I found extra recycled can, hatchet, loot and the Ice Caves (in one run) It's so much fun to feel like you're the only person in the world and you discovered this stuff that no one else has ever seen before. I die often but it's worth it.

All that said, my LONG run hasn't ventured there yet :D (I'm not crazy) and I DO take possible spoiler pics because I cannot resist. :D

We all have our own way of enjoying this tremendous game!

To the OP - the region appears much more bare than it really is. As you look more closely you'll find there is quite a lot here! Good Luck!

Thank you for throwing Bunn Bunns. :D
(I'll be stashing the blades to cut my way outta this freaking mess I found after *smartly* climbing backwards down something think I was only supposed to climb up...xD )

[markwars]

My advice....turn around and go back to Milton.
