Milton is a major location in Episode 1 of The Long Dark's Story Mode. It is a small, largely abandoned town nestled in the mountains of Great Bear Island. The location name of the game map is "Town of milton".
Milton was founded in 1911 to support the initially booming coal industry in the surrounding mountains. The town was originally built along a supply route from the coast to the interior of Great Bear Island, with the road replaced by a paved highway in 1960. The location of the town, halfway between Port Mary and the mountains in the interior of Great Bear, made it a convenient stopping-off point for fuel and supplies for workers in the mining, logging, and milling industries, as well as campers from Mainland Canada.[1]
Milton, the major point of interest in this region, is located approximately in the centre of the map, and features a number of houses that can be searched for supplies, along with vehicles, a post office and a bank. While wolves do occasionally wander into town, they can often be avoided by ducking into a vehicle or building.
From the centre of the region, at the crossroads near the bank, players can follow the roads and travel out of town in four different directions. Heading northwards will take them via a woodlot to St. Christopher's Church, which features abundant natural resources nearby. From here, the region becomes less developed, and, while richer in natural resources, is frequented by wolves and the occasional moose. Continuing along the road, players will pass by a Trailer with a work bench, followed by the cave leading to the Hushed River Valley. The road ends shortly after Spruce Falls Bridge, where there are lots of vehicles from which to hunt the bear that spawns nearby.
Players leaving town towards the south will initially pass by the Orca Gas Station, located in the centre of a Wood Lot. The gas station can't be opened without a prybar, but once inside, usually yields a fair amount of food and a few items of clothing. The nearby crashed bus has some importance in story mode, but is merely a landmark in survival mode. Continuing southwards will lead players to Milton Park and the Picnic Area, featuring a small building and a rope climb down. Going down this rope and up the next will eventually lead players to Mystery Lake, after a walk along a frozen brook and through a cave.
Finally, players can head out of town towards the west. The first major destination is the Paradise Meadows Farm, which initially requires a key found nearby to unlock. The farm usually has an abundance of food, and mid-level clothing. Beyond the farm, going down two long climbing ropes will lead to Milton Basin. This location has lots of natural resources, but explorers should watch for the moose that spawns nearby. Walking along the frozen lake past the Hermit's Cabin (mostly destroyed, but offering a stove), players will find the connection to Forlorn Muskeg.
Mountain Town is a region rich in Cat Tails and Rose Hips. Cat Tails can be found in abundance along the banks of the river passing by Milton and at a pond in town, throughout the Milton Basin, behind St. Christopher's Church, near the Trailer, under the Spruce Falls Bridge, and near the Radio Tower. The region also features high density of Rose Hips, particularly around and near Mackenzie's Crashed Plane. There is also the highest concentration of oaks of all regions, along with corresponding high amount of harvestable acorns, present especially around the Milton Park and Picnic Area.
I am on voyager only 15 days in on my 3rd try for survival. How long should I stay in Milton before branching out and what regions should I go to next? I got great clothing and both a rifle and revolver so I'm sitting pretty comfy already
Then follow the path round the mountain until you come to a cave. Enter the cave and follow the fairly linear path. When you come to the end a cutscene will play. DON'T PRESS ANYTHING! Let the cutscene play out, and also let the credits roll. They're not that long.
Originally there were 3 caches in Milton. Two you got from notes and one from Grey Mother. With the trust mechanic gone you no longer get her cache. I got the one at the cave and the one behind the church. But the quest isn't completing. Is there are a third somewhere I haven't found the note for? I've been to most places, but I could have missed something.
Ironically, I can't complete the mission because the cave cache is bugged for me. Ah well. Next time, Gadget!
Safe deposit keys haven't changed that I'm aware of; I'd lay odds the one you are missing is #13. That one eluded me for a long time; there are walkthroughs that will show you where to look. Explore downriver, and listen for crows.
Staying alive is a constant challenge in The Long Dark, and weapons can help with many of the issues a player faces along the way. Hunting Bows and Knives can be crafted and are necessary in surviving an Interloper run, but for every other difficulty level, Hunting Rifles have a chance to spawn in the world.
Also found in Mystery Lake is the Hunting Rifle variant once belonging to a resident named Vaughn. This Rifle weighs 1kg less than the standard and shoots a second faster, making it a fantastic weapon when you're in a bind.
Another variant of the Hunting Rifle belonged to Barb, who engineered her gun to be extra durable. She also attached iron sights, making it easier to see where your shot will land. The downside is her add-ons weigh it down by a further 0.5kg. It can only be found in Coastal Highway at the following spots:
The Pleasant Valley region map is huge, as is the zone itself. There is a lot of open space and the weather is awful, so be careful not to get caught outside. There are lots of bears with large zones of control, but the openness of the map means players can often see threats coming from a long way off. This region got a bit of an overhaul recently, and players can now find some additional buildings and areas worth exploring. Pleasant Valley also offers one of the access points to Blackrock.
He first went to Calais and then on to Paris, riding horseback, with a letter from diplomat Henry Wotton to ambassador John Scudamore. Through Scudamore, Milton met Hugo Grotius, a Dutch law philosopher, playwright, and poet. Milton left France soon after this meeting. He travelled south from Nice to Genoa, and then to Livorno and Pisa. He reached Florence in July 1638. While there, Milton enjoyed many of the sites and structures of the city. His candour of manner and erudite neo-Latin poetry earned him friends in Florentine intellectual circles, and he met the astronomer Galileo who was under house arrest at Arcetri, as well as others.[23] Milton probably visited the Florentine Academy and the Accademia della Crusca along with smaller academies in the area, including the Apatisti and the Svogliati.
On returning to England where the Bishops' Wars presaged further armed conflict, Milton began to write prose tracts against episcopacy, in the service of the Puritan and Parliamentary cause. Milton's first foray into polemics was Of Reformation touching Church Discipline in England (1641), followed by Of Prelatical Episcopacy, the two defences of Smectymnuus (a group of Presbyterian divines named from their initials; the "TY" belonged to Milton's old tutor Thomas Young), and The Reason of Church-Government Urged against Prelaty. He vigorously attacked the High-church party of the Church of England and their leader William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, with frequent passages of real eloquence lighting up the rough controversial style of the period, and deploying a wide knowledge of church history.
In June 1642, Milton paid a visit to the manor house at Forest Hill, Oxfordshire, and, aged 34, married the 17-year-old Mary Powell.[31][32] The marriage got off to a poor start as Mary did not adapt to Milton's austere lifestyle or get along with his nephews. Milton found her intellectually unsatisfying and disliked the royalist views she had absorbed from her family. It is also speculated that she refused to consummate the marriage. Mary soon returned home to her parents and did not come back until 1645, partly because of the outbreak of the Civil War.[31]
Milton followed up the publication Paradise Lost with its sequel Paradise Regained, which was published alongside the tragedy Samson Agonistes in 1671. Both of these works also reflect Milton's post-Restoration political situation. Just before his death in 1674, Milton supervised a second edition of Paradise Lost, accompanied by an explanation of "why the poem rhymes not", and prefatory verses by Andrew Marvell. In 1673, Milton republished his 1645 Poems, as well as a collection of his letters and the Latin prolusions from his Cambridge days.
He praised Oliver Cromwell as the Protectorate was set up; though subsequently he had major reservations. When Cromwell seemed to be backsliding as a revolutionary, after a couple of years in power, Milton moved closer to the position of Sir Henry Vane, to whom he wrote a sonnet in 1652.[73][74] The group of disaffected republicans included, besides Vane, John Bradshaw, John Hutchinson, Edmund Ludlow, Henry Marten, Robert Overton, Edward Sexby and John Streater; but not Marvell, who remained with Cromwell's party.[75] Milton had already commended Overton, along with Edmund Whalley and Bulstrode Whitelocke, in Defensio Secunda.[76] Nigel Smith writes that
Milton embraced many heterodox Christian theological views. He has been accused of rejecting the Trinity, believing instead that the Son was subordinate to the Father, a position known as Arianism; and his sympathy or curiosity was probably engaged by Socinianism: in August 1650 he licensed for publication by William Dugard the Racovian Catechism, based on a non-trinitarian creed.[83][84] Milton's alleged Arianism, like much of his theology, is still subject of debate and controversy. Rufus Wilmot Griswold argued that "In none of his great works is there a passage from which it can be inferred that he was an Arian; and in the very last of his writings he declares that "the doctrine of the Trinity is a plain doctrine in Scripture."[85] In Areopagitica, Milton classified Arians and Socinians as "errorists" and "schismatics" alongside Arminians and Anabaptists.[86] A source has interpreted him as broadly Protestant, if not always easy to locate in a more precise religious category. In 2019, John Rogers stated, "Heretics both, John Milton and Isaac Newton were, as most scholars now agree, Arians."[87][88]
