When he is gone, the World will speak for him.All skateboarding can do at this point is batten down the hatches and prepare itself for The Great Kook Epidemic of 2016, while championing those who truly do not give a fuck.

During the time between the incident and him being discovered by the Doctor, the Protagonist swapped his hazmat suit with a scarecrow's clothing. At some point, an unknown accident occurred that left him stranded, to be found by the Doctor. The Stranger is a member of the Outsiders, a military faction, and entered the Chapter 1 zone approximately two weeks ago, through the Underground Entrance. The fire quickly spreads through the valley, and eventually to the forest itself. Taking the Flamethrower from Maciek, the Stranger torches down the Being, sacrificing himself in the inferno in the process. At this point, the Stranger can either surrender to it, or locate the Sleeper, Maciek, who clutches a rusty flamethrower. Exploring the Valley will eventually lead the Protagonist toward The Being. The valley is filled with emaciated, dying people, dreaming happily. Leaping in will have him awaken naked and dirty in a giant valley, filled with massive tree roots endlessly coiled together to form giant networks of wood. Prying away the flooring and moving aside the bed reveals a large hole in his bedroom.


Tree roots will be coming out of the walls, and lead toward his bed. In his apartment, he will then take off his coat and hat, and finally go to sleep, triggering the Bliss Ending.Īlternatively, if the Stranger explores his apartment block, he discovers that things are not as they seem. In the Epilogue, the Stranger has finally escaped Darkwood - he traverses through a peaceful city block and is greeted by a neighbor. The Stranger then progresses through the plot of the game- his primary objective is first to reclaim the Big, Metal Key from the Doctor, and then to escape the Swamp through The Road Home, either by burning the Talking Tree down or by escaping through the Radio Tower Bunker. It is heavily implied that at this point, the Trader saves the Stranger and brings him to Dry Meadow Hideout.įrom there, the game's core mechanics are unlocked to the player. The Doctor takes the Stranger back to his house and interrogates him for the location of the Underground Entrance before leaving with the Big, Metal Key.Īt this point, the Stranger escapes captivity and explores the Doctor's House - killing Janek in the process - before being overwhelmed by Black Chompers. Reader discretion is advised.Īt the start of the game, the Doctor finds the Stranger stranded in the forest east of the Doctor's House.
