}}{{spoiler}}{{Quote2|Did Astrid survive the crash? Keep your eyes open for signs of her passing, while you explore the wilderness around you.|In-game description}}'''Echoes of Astrid''' was the second mission of the Predux [[Episode 1: Do Not Go Gentle]] of the [[Wintermute]] story. It has since been replaced after the V1.47 Wintermute Redux version of the game, but is still playable to those that download versions V1.15, V1.30, or V1.37 of Steam version of ''[[The Long Dark]]'' by using the [[Time Capsule]].

This episode has since been replaced by [[The Crash]].
==Objectives==

* Search the area around the Crash Site, and beyond.
* Follow the road. Where does it go? And could Astrid have followed it?
* The big old house shows the first signs of habitation since you crashed. Investigate.

*
==Overview==
Make your way away from [[Mackenzie's Crashed Plane]] and continue following the torn fragments of Astrid's Scarf until you see a pond. Many [[Rabbit|Rabbits]] are around the area that can be hunted with [[Stone|Stones]] if desired. Make your way up the hill into the cave system.

Inside a [[Frozen Corpse]] with a [[Bedroll]] and [[Torch]] will be on the right. Take both and then equip and light the Torch to face the darkness ahead. A note called [[Lost in the Storm]] can be found in a dead end section of the cave ahead. Keep going through the cave to the other side. A [[Wolf]] feasting on a [[Deer Carcass]] is on the other side. Either attack it with Stones or ignore it and make your way to the road.

Follow the road past [[Spruce Falls Bridge]] until you find a Trailer on the mountainside. Loot it and then sleep if you are tired enough. When done, follow the road down the mountain to [[St. Christopher's Church]]. Another Wolf is outside feasting on a Deer Carcass so watch out. Inside the church you can find 2 notes, [[Pastor's Note]] and [[Hymnal]].

Continue down the road to the town of [[Milton]] and head up to the house on the hill with smoke coming out of the active chimney. Walk inside to meet [[Grey Mother]]. After the cutscene ends you will chat with her via dialogue options. Ask her anything you want and then exit the dialogue and the mission will end.

==Differences from Redux Episode 1==
Several plot points and locations have been replaced/altered since the Redux re-release of Episode 1:
===Plot Points and Gameplay Changes===
*The camera does not automatically turn and stop the player to show context sensitive situations, such as redirecting the camera towards Mackenzie's Crashed Plane.
*The plane wing ramp on the hill leaving the crash site is missing.
*The player is forced to climb a [[Rock Climb]] near the Rabbit pond, walk through a cave to [[Spruce Falls Bridge]], then walk down the road past [[St. Christopher's Church]] and the [[Wood Lot]] before reaching the Town of [[Milton]]. The Redux version changed the map to add a small canyon between the [[Radio Tower]] and the Rabbit Pond and removed the Rock Climb up to the cave, drastically shortening the walk to Milton.
** A 3rd piece of Astrid's scarf is found near the Rock Climb near the Rabbit pond.
** The first [[Wolf]] encounter with a [[Deer Carcass]] is not found in the canyon (since it does not exist yet), but on the other side of the cave near Spruce Falls Bridge.
** A Wolf is scripted to be on the Spruce Falls Bridge, and can serve as the player's first [[Struggle]] encounter.
** A Wolf is scripted to kill a [[Rabbit]] a short walk away from Spruce Falls Bridge.
** A second scripted Wolf eating a Deer Carcass is found outside of St. Christopher's Church.
** Because of the longer walk, the [[Milton Water Tower]] is located next to the entrance to town, rather than the middle of town in the Redux version.
** The [[Milton House (Grey Mother's)]] [[Mailbox]] is on the left side of the walk up to the house, but the Redux version changed it to be on the right side.
*A 3rd person cutscene plays when entering the Milton House between [[Grey Mother]] and Mackenzie. This scene was completely remade in the Redux version, and all future cutscenes would be first person.
*The dialogue options are static text on the screen that alternates between Mackenzie and Grey Mother, and are not voiced. In Redux, all lines are voiced. One Dialogue option has been removed from Redux. The "House?" option has been removed, and hints that taking Grey Mother's things will displease her ([[Cut/Discontinued Content#Trust|Trust]] System).
*Grey Mother mentions that Milton has been through 5 days of hell, referencing Mackenzie being stranded in the ravine for the last 5 days. This line is absent in the Redux version, since only 2 days have passed.
**It is implied however that Astrid was passed out for 5 days between the events of Episode 1 and the start of [[Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy]] in the Redux timeline.
