Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Most players who own The Long Dark are currently working their way through the first two episodes of Wintermute, which is the name for the game’s story mode. Episode 1: Do Not Go Gentle, features a few side quests and main quests. Some of these quests will require you to hunt down a Bank Deposit Box Key for each of the four deposit boxes. Of course, you’ll also have to know how to unlock the bank vault to even get to this point.
Bank Deposit Box Key #7
Key #7 is found in a house on the main street in Milton. In fact, if you head southeast from the Milton Credit Union, it’s through the intersection and will be the second house on the right. Once inside, you can find Bank Deposit Box Key #7 in a container under the bed.
Bank Deposit Box Key #13
Key #13 is found at the south end of the river that runs through Milton. Follow the river all the way to the end. Look for a dead body in the snow by a tree. Search the dead body and you’ll discover they key. When you use the key to open the box, you’ll receive the Worn Balaclava, the best clothing item in the game for your head.
Bank Deposit Box Key #15
Key #15 is the hardest to get. You must progress the main quest line to the point where Grey Mother tells you to get it. Even if you search the correct location, it will not be there until Grey Mother asks for it. Once you have the quest, head to the Paradise Meadows Farm. Look for a blue truck parked under a car port. On the front dashboard of the truck will be the Paradise Meadows Farm Key. You cannot get into the house without this key.
Access the main house and head inside. Look for a bedroom with a fireplace and a mantle. On the mantle will be an urn. Search the urn and you’ll find Bank Deposit Box Key #15. Take the key to the Milton Credit Union and open the deposit box to receive Grey Mother’s Safety Deposit Box. Return it to her.
Bank Deposit Box Key #20
Key #20 is found by heading south along the main street in Milton. When the street forks, take the fork that goes to the right and behind the Orca Gas Station. Look for a blue truck parked next to two portable outhouses. Players can snag the key from the floor of the truck. This key will open the box that gives you the Magnifying Glass.
You should have a Bank Deposit Box Key for each deposit box now. Once you’ve opened all four boxes you can progress with the main story in The Long Dark.
The Long Dark, an indie survival game from Hinterland, is leaving Early Access today -- and is celebrating its full launch with a brand new story mode! But if course, the sandbox elements are still this game's most essential component, and you'll need to understand them thoroughly if you want to survive.
If you haven't played the game during the alpha stage, then you'll have some trouble progressing -- as its challenges are quite hard, even for experienced players. So in this beginner's guide for The Long Dark, we're going to give you some tips that will help you make this dangerous journey and endure your adventures in the snowy wilds.
Set the Right Difficulty
The Long Dark offers four levels of difficulty. If you’re a new player, you'll want to skip the Interloper one, which is the hardest. But if you really want to learn something, then don’t take the easiest setting, either. Instead, go for Stalker difficulty. It is perfectly balanced, and can really give you a sense of realistic survival.
Find Shelter and Get Warm
Your game starts in the Northern Canadian wilderness, and your first task is to get warm clothes and shelter. Your starting clothes are not very good, so you must find a place to hide from the cold as soon as possible.
Don’t stray away into the wilderness too much, but try to follow the main path or the highway, as this will surely lead you to a safe place. On your way, you can start picking up sticks from the ground that will serve as the fuel.
As soon as you find a cabin or a house, immediately start looking for clothes and food inside. But be careful with your food and always check it for staleness. If it’s below 50%, then it is advisable not to consume such stale foods as they may provoke sickness.
Change your clothes and use any bed for sleeping. This will help you get warm and protect you from freezing.
Beware of the Wild Animals
Before leaving your shelter, make sure that you have a torch with you. For now it’s your only protection from the wolves and bears. You can craft a torch using three simple components: wood, cloth and lamp oil. You should be able to find all of them in your shelter.
Another way of getting rid of wild animals is to throw them a decoy, which is basically a piece of meat that you can carry around. The wolves will most definitely smell it on you, so drop it as soon as you hear barking in the distance. This way they will chase the food rather than you.
One more trick you can use to avoid wolves is to crouch. It will make you almost invisible to them, even in cases when they appear really close to you. But don’t get too close, as there is a chance that they will attack you no matter what.
In time you will need to find a real weapon, such as a rifle. It is way more effective against wild animals. You might also want to get yourself a hunting knife that can be used for skinning animals.
Learn Navigation and Weather Prediction
Navigating the map and predicting weather are probably two of the most important skills for survival in The Long Dark. It will help you find the best locations for setting up your base and hide in there in case you get caught in a blizzard.
The best places for setting up your base on the map are following:
- Trapper's Homestead: A decent location that has fine loot inside, including a rifle. (Mystery Lake: South-West)
- Camp Office: Located in the central area of a Mystery Lake, which makes it perfect for fishing.
- Quonset Gas Station: Located in an area infested with wolves, but has tons of valuable loot inside. (Coastal Highway: East)
- Farmhouse: Find it in the central part of the Pleasant Valley. It not only has good loot, but also a basement that can be used for storage purposes.
Try not to leave your base too early in the morning, as usually the weather is extremely cold at that time of the day. If you see that there is snow falling and wind blowing, then return immediately to your base -- in such cases, the blizzard is inevitable.
If you do get caught in blizzard, then try to find any other shelter that is close to you. Don’t try to reach your base if you know that you’re too far away. Just light up your lantern and get to the closest building you may have passed during your exploration.
Hunt For Survival
Light Up The Night Protomen
When you have all the clothes, equipment, and your own base, you can start hunting for wild animals. Now you’re the predator, so learn as much as you can about hunting.
First, look up into the sky and check for a pack of crowscircling above a certain area. This will indicate that there is a dead animal nearby, which you can use for meat or skin.
Secondly, don’t forget to check for footprints. You will see them in the snow. Cost drivers of internationalisation. In time you will be able to distinguish them pretty well, and even follow your prey.
Lastly, learn fishing. You can craft hooks and lines easily using metal scraps and cured guts. If you are located on a lake, then look out for fishing huts. Often these huts already have fishing equipment inside them, so you don’t really need to craft anything. Make a hole in the ice and catch some fish, which is an excellent source of food.
