<br />

*[[Bank Deposit Box Key 15|Bank Deposit Box Key #15]] is located in the farm house. The key can be found next to [[Hobbs]] immediately after the interaction with him, regardless of the outcome chosen. This is the only key that is necessary to progress through the story, as Bank Deposit Box #15 holds a plot-sensitive item.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The achievement's name is a reference to the phrase "Too big to fail" in reference to several large banks or corporations that are kept afloat with emergency government bail outs (hence why they are too big to fail naturally).<br />
** The most notable usage of this phrase was in 2008 during the housing market collapse, an event that caused the Great Recession. The effects of this recession seem to be far worse in the world of ''The Long Dark'', as seen with [[The Collapse]].<br />
**The name is also ironic, seeing how the [[Milton Credit Union]] closed down long before Will Mackenzie first enters it.<br />
