Therefore, it is possible for an aurora to start at sundown, but then disappear by midnight. Before going to sleep, eat exactly 750 calories (Will’s calorie load is on the status screen) and drink so that the thirst meter is full.Īuroras only show up at night, in clear weather.
In this case, you want to sleep through the day and look for signs of the aurora during the night.
This takes advantage of the fact that you restore more condition during a standard 10-hour sleep than you lose from starving all day. Or you can even stay in the dam itself if you have a bedroll.īecause you could be waiting for several days until the game gives you an aurora, I would recommend you use the “hibernating” tactic. I would recommend staying at the trailers right in front of the dam so you don’t have to dodge aurora wolves. That means you’re going to have to camp out near the dam until it shows up. Unlike most of the story quests, the aurora is not scripted.
