The Long Dark: Sabotage the Locking Mechanisms 

Fricking hell they couldnt make this puzzle more confusing, thank you my dude

good heavens this part of the episode is SO glitchy. Reload after reload after reload just to get the gates/valves to function properly...Someone didn't do a very good job of testing this section, did we Hinterland?

Thank you. I had to reload a checkpoint because there was a glitch in it that meant that after I defrosted the door it was still locked.

I suppose it was a game of follow the pipes, but my mind was attempting logic. I essentially came in here because I'd had enough of throwing levers. Very un-fun. It's not that I'm not a thinker, but. for example, why would you direct steam through a pipe that had a leak? Well that was a part of it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. This has to be the most tedious puzzle I have ever seen in a game

I defrosted the door but still it was locked. I went back to the small corridor and closed the valved where you have to crouch. Then he says"is worked" and you get a new objektive. Try that before you restart 👍

Not all heroes wear caps

This an AMAZING walkthrough! One of the best I have followed! You get straight to the important areas, you only show the important items to pick up (quickly) and you don’t tinker around in your menu. Thank you for the help!

Thanks, was looking for it. Devs really made it work weirdly. First one got solved by just switching some of locks off and then on. Nothing changed but somehow it worked, idk UPD. I had to reload the game and redo the puzzle, easy the top 10 of game bullshit happened to me ever.

Edit: I found the key, you need to go into the trailer that is just South of the power plant. You're gonna find a dead person laying on the ground and you're gonna loot that body to find a key card. Yes but where is the key? I can't open the door after it's dethawed. Where is that key? I need it. :(

Game was really fun up until this part. Thank you for making this you saved a to much time.

Man thank you for your walkthroughs on this game. I would have given up right after the plant crash.

My game is glitched. Did everything and the Control Room door will not open after melting. :(

Wow. I would have never gotten that done without you! Thank you soo much for this video!!! It’s super helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to make this to help others!

Thanks. I was about to give up. What an annoying episode so far

i can't get past this stage...i got all way up to 3:07 but everything else is still frozen..idk what to do

thanks,this missions is too hard

I’m ngl, exiting that boiler door and realizing I just walked through all of that bs mountains, snow, wolves, trees, blizzards, barracks and I END UP BACK AT THE MF PRISON LIKE WTF 😂 I COULDVE JUST WENT THROUGH HWRE????!!!!!!

THANK YOU. This puzzle sucks. IRL, red means hot, green means not. it's backwards in the game Dx

Thank you for helping me get out. One of the worst puzzles ever. Plus the entire place was creeping me the hell out, making me feel I was being watched. It gave off early Amnesia games like The Dark Descent.

I could kiss ya man! Saving people years later! I thought about quitting in the first few steps of seeing the pipes

Thank you for this tutorial! last time i tried to do it myself, but it glitched and with your help it worked :)

Grazie veramente utile

the first door doesnt even unlock... can someone please explain....

Man I'll tell you what I was about to freaking break something 😂 LoL thanks for the save and quit reload bro your a Saint....

My game is broken, i can't do this episode wtf the door is still locked after defrost : /

thanks so much this video was so helpful!!!!

The only video that actually got me through it!

I want to believe that most of the glitches are due to the fucking pandemic issues and that hinterland didn’t have enough time to try out this chapter but this part of the chapter it's a pain in the ass..

This part is hard af if you don't see s guide like this

I did everything you did, got to the control room, turned on the valve, but I had the "Locked Door" icon

As many ppl, i got stuck after the ice melt and the door kept showing "locked"... so I closed the "first door that was blocked by ice" and saved and quit... After i reloaded the game, the glitch disappeared... Good luck!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Liked and subbed for this walkthrough.

perfect lad ..

i dont know what to do. i got the first door thawed and its somehow still locked...

It's buggy, ngl

I would have quit without this video

Thanks this video helped a lot

Thank you bro

I doubt I would ever have figured this out without this vid.

Wow, SPOILER Thank god we don't have to trek back to the prison through the map! Also, when they tell you to 'stash' items, they REALLY need to be specific! bc they literally take EVERYTHING from you, including water, food and ANY clothes you picked up!

Thanks! I figured the first one out fot myself, but the second one got me for like 20 lol

Im so frustrated cause ive gone through your video 3 times to make sure all my pipes were in the SAME position as yours and they are, but i still cannot get the control room to unfreeze, i cannot figure out where i went wrong, and i cant find a way to just restart this mission completely to try again. For hours ive been stuck on this

Thanks

this game started off great and has become an annoying frustrating POS, after spending 20 years in previous mission lugging survivors around, then this POS steam valves only to have control room still locked after melting, WTF, game officially in the garbage, what an effing waste of time and money!!! Not to mention first door into tunnels that wouldnt open, after 30 years trying to figure out why and came to RU-vid for answer of a bug, and to reload mission then it worked, i mean holy fck!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thank you!!

Thank you 🙏

Thank you. I got stuck on the bear section previously then this bad boy came along and stumped me yet again. Great game but some treacherous spikes. Much appreciated!

Thank you

Thank you they should rename this game the long dark youtube game cause you can't get very far without checking youtube videos😂😂

Hello!! Mine is locked and i dont understand what i missed :( i cant get it to open and i already searched the plant up and down

thanks!!

I'm here because I completely missed the valve at 6:19 , I must have ran past it. Thankyou for the vid mate.

Merci pour ton aide. Bien joué mec

does anyone know where to find a storm lantern in this chapter! i can’t find one anywhere!

Glitches galore every chapter new game breaking bug so I can't progress. Awesome

Thank you so much oh my god ur literally the best person ever

I had to also go back to last checkpoint to re-do the pipes then it works as others have said. I have always disliked these puzzles, took me about an hour from entering tunnels.

Thaaaaaanksss (((:

trash game, i do exactly on your order and control room door steel locked, snow go away but steel locked

Thank you so much for this video! It helped me alot

It helps if you've played Watchdogs.

THANK YOU so much u are i life saver ...

Wow it’s still glitched. How Annoying.

Thanks, man. You saved my life.

Why doesn't molly call that phone inside power plant? That's my problem, also that first door is locked, even after i melted the ice. 🤬

thank you so much bro

I’ve tried watching a few videos of the steam lever part, and the levers are always different colors for different people? Weird. Edit: just reloaded the game and my level colors were different? Dude wtf lol

You the goat my boy

Thank you :D

Thanks dude

thanks bro

where is the the f... ng key for the door wtf game. I already visit the dead person and he doesnt have the key

My lost 2days gone

door locked??

Thanks

Where did you find the hammer?

Not working for me at all

How do you get there do you have to leave blackrock through that main road or do you exit through that inside section with the wolves?

i LOVED this part of the episode. it is one of my favourite puzzles in the game, it was such a fun challenge figuring it out myself

Gracias amigo 😊
