Walkthrough

Late Employee

  • Best way to reach the bottom of the ravine is by going up the steep mountain path behind the barn at Jailer's Residence, then keeping to the right where a fallen tree leads to the bottom of the ravine, beware of a wolf walking the ice. It is also possible to climb down a rope when following the creek upstream from the bridge (on the other bank) and then use the previous route to get out of the ravine.
  • Don't forget to visit the Barn, as the truck inside contains a key to locker #3.

Aggressive wolf

  • Follow the mountain face from the Suspicious person bunker, beware a bear and then a pack of timberwolves is in the area.
  • It is unnecessary, in fact quite difficult, to kill the wolf inside his cave as its head is turned sideways and constantly moving when feeding. However, 1-2 shots from a revolver will put it into a fleeing state for long enough to search and exit the cave.

Suspicious person

  • The cache you are looking for is behind a rock couple steps behind the Bricklayer's Retreat.
  • After you recovered the cache, you will be looking for a prepper cache like hatch.
  • Return in the direction of Foreman's Clearcut, and slightly towards the road bend between Foreman's Clearcut and Cook's Farm , best way is by crossing the top/right part of the little lake, then crossing the road and going through a stone arch. Follow the road towards the bend and the cache will be between the canyon walls just after it, near the left wall.
