WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THE WALK THERE WAS SO GODDAMN TENSE?!
literally sweaty palms.
EDIT: i just got hematic grenades.
bring it bitches
Yes! I’ll never forget my first time at the moment when I panned the camera around and realized I was surrounded. Epic experience.
That slow, stumbling walk uphill, and you're like, oh good, at least I'll be able to go down the other side quicker, then bam, BTs everywhere, and now you got to go slower and more careful. Tense. Masterful
while tripping over your feet every two seconds
literally surrounded. i had a BT on my ass the whole time, barely any stamina so i had to hold my breath in spurts, and everytime i tried to drink another one popped up right next to me.
and i had 120kg on my back so my stamina was shot to shit.
10/10 my favorite part so far.
that fuckin generator better be worth it lol
Jake?
Jake Wind. He runs things over at the wind farm. Check your email!
from State Farm
from Wind Farm
🤣
Nobody was there once I got to the wind farm. Was there supposed to be someone there?
Go high up the mountain to the right to avoid them all!
This, I built for me and others a way up there and contour around, that reminds me; I need to go back and check it's still good!
It's still good, Sam. I used to use a path up the right side until I got the ziplines working. The zipline placement is so horrible in that area. I couldn't find a nice straight shot from the top of the hill to the wind farm. The only spot I found was right on top of a BT so I had to use one on hill, one on mountain to the right, and then straight shot down left to the wind turbines.
the way back, that's exactly what i did.
i said fuck all that and climbed the mountain, rested for 5 min while i made tea, and got back to it.
On the way back, your first time is free. No BTS.
After you've beaten the game, you should come back and look up the Wind Farm. It's actually fairly notorious.
now i'm curious
I was able to avoid them there. Didn’t know I couldn’t zoom pass the BTs on my way to Ludens Fan with the trike and kept getting caught
Go high on the right to avoid any BTs. Getting back on the route when going back is a but tricky but worth it.
that's the way i took back. i was like "oh man this forest is a vibe it's aweso- ahhh fuck."
That’s the only place I created a crater. But then I was able to skip the BTs via slingshots afterwards. Became an easy spot to navigate.
it took me prob 15-20'min to get through that little forest part
Good ol Jake wind lol
i had a few words for him when i got there.
Whooooooosh, modefocka
that was one of them.
We dont talk about Wind Farm
wish i saw this about 12 hours sooner lol.
One time I did it this way and still got caught, but it might have been the highest difficulty and I might have come down the hill too soon, but not by choice. At one point it's pretty steep and once you're downhill there's no going back up
Excellent place for ziplines
First time I went there I left my package on my bike and to double back
Well I’ve got some news about the rest of the game. Look over there to the weast.
That place… it scares me.
So I see bts and always take a chance at sprinting. Works half the time. 😅
"60% of the time, it works everytime."
What system do you guys play DS on?
I just got a PS5 this past weekend and started it up fresh with the Director’s Cut. It’s enough of an improvement in the graphics alone from PS4 that it’s almost like playing a new game.
PS5.
i got the DC. i had the standard but i couldnt get into it at the time.
my wife got me the DC for christmas and i started fresh and i adore it.
Ps5 and loving the DC finally
I also stupidly made all the available deliveries there before I moved on to the central region and got access to ziplines. Sooooo stressful. I wondered how the hell Jake could live there, so totally cut off from everything, with a front yard full of bt's.
wait...you mean i didn't have to go to the wind farm in early game?
You have to go once, to make a story-related delivery, all the rest of the deliveries are optional. That one time is absolutely terrifying lol.
it was awful.
10/10
I fought and killed my first BT in the woods just outside the wind farm. Then I took a rest and contributed to this huge Cairn
There is a narrow path straight up the middle. You will not be able to find it on your first try. After you connect it to the network, look for postboxes, signs and bridges that mark a route straight through the middle of it.
I used to do the high right pass, but now it’s just a stroll through the woods.
And once you get there, there's nothing but s memory card. Not even sure why it's there.
I had to go round the south side and up, for some reason. I think I was chasing shiny things. Didn't bump into a single one
Is that where you encounter BT's for the first time? I had to retry so many times. Thank goodness for Hematic grenades later. What a satisfying upgrade.
I guess maybe it’s the first time depending on how you go. But there is also a group of BTs between Capital Knot City and the Waystation, along the beach. Also the ones around the incinerator, although the first encounter with those is more of a plot thing, before they cut you loose to complete orders.
that's like the 10th time i've encountered BTs. but it was definitely the largest amount of BTs i've come across.
they were literally on top of me every step of the way.
Just wait for it.
i just got hematic grenades.
bring it bitches
They are still my second favorite weapon of choice.
Because you can just walk around them.
ahhh yes Death Stranding sensei, show me your perfect ways.

It’s such a great moment early-game. The physical toll getting up and over the hill, managing your way down the unfriendly slope, just to find yourself in more trying terrain with the ADDED stress of BTs. But once you get to Jake and can take a breath, ohh what a great feeling.
