The Milton House (Grey Mother's) is a location featured in Episode 1 of The Long Dark. It is a large two-story house in the town of Milton and is home to Grey Mother, and is distinguished as being the largest Milton House in the town.

Overview

The house is located on top of a small hill near the town entrance. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen with a Stove, and a living room with a Fireplace. Various loot items can be found in the containers throughout the house.

In the backyard, there is a small shed with a Hatchet and Prybar. Near the end of Episode 1, Grey Mother will give you a key to unlock a Trunk in the second bedroom, giving you access to a Mountaineering Rope. She will also cook some Home-made Soup for the player to show her hospitality.

Wintermute

The house is occupied by Grey Mother, a blind old woman with a loaded rifle and a distrust for outsiders. She is the only remaining resident in the town of Milton and is effectively trapped due to the collapsed tunnel out of town. From her house, she gives Will Mackenzie various missions and allows him to use the house as shelter from the cold and the wolves.

Survival

In survival, the house is devoid of Grey Mother, with just her chair tipped onto its side and bullet holes in the walls face away from the chair, suggesting signs of a struggle. It makes a good base despite its lack of workbench. The building has a 6-slot stove, a 2-slot fireplace, and warm beds, making it a great place to cook large amounts of meat and use as a safehouse. It's centrally located within the region and is atop a hill, making spotting wolves easier.

Notable Loot

• A Revolver may spawn in the first bedroom beneath the bed, with two cartridges scattered around.
• The Storage room on the first floor may hide a box of Revolver Ammunition behind the leaning plank and another loot spawn behind a piece of harvestable cloth. It usually spawns a soda of some kind and can not be accessed without tearing up the cloth/towel (yields 3 Cloth) first.
• A Distress Pistol may spawn in the bathtub on the second floor.
• A pair of Wool Longjohns (or other high quality clothing) may spawn on the ground in the second bedroom, or in the bathtub.
