Nomad challenge, Barn.

[The Baxterman]

I'm very new but I wanted to explore so I figured this would be the best way before starting the story.

Anyway I started at a farmhouse and there are plenty of livable barns around.

"Barn" is one of the locations I am ment to stay in for 3 days. I'm unsure if it is a specific barn or if I can use any barn or multiple different barns to the same effect.

Thanks fellow survivors.

P.S. for someone who just started this challenge I'm also not sure if it is 72 total hours INSIDE of the building or if it is just sleeping there and staying in the area. Some clarification would be awesome!

The Barn you need is a landmark location, off by itself, not near other habitable buildings.
The little one near the farmhouse is not the right one. You'll know you found the right one when you see the truck parked inside. It's a big red barn, hard to miss.

Been a while since i played this event, but IIRC, the game only keeps time while you are in the actual location. going outside to hunt, collect wood, etc, stops the timer. You must spend 72 hours inside the location. If it says "Farmhouse", it means inside the Farmhouse, not out looting the sheds or collecting firewood from the trees around it.

As far as the thread granny linked, idk about that, if it's a bug or not. Keep in mind the game has some oddities, one of those being the way the time stats are recorded in the Journal not matching up with actual in-game time.

Lots of videos on YouTube and other platforms about the challenge, look for the most recent ones, as I am not sure if updates over the years have changed anything major in the Nomad Challenge. It's been years since I did this one. Probably a Guide or 2 in the Steam Guides section for this game, click the Guides tab up above. No idea how up-to-date any may be, though. The online Fandom Wiki probably has a page for the challenge, and there are likely a number of player/fan blogs out there as well. The online forums are sure to have threads about the challenge: https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/ .

It's the large two-story barn with the truck, fire barrel, & work bench inside, etc.

Well I'm inside that one right now so looks like I found it!

I'll keep note of that, looks like I'll need to stock up on supplies.
