Tips
  • The 'Gunless Wonder' achievement requires you to complete a significant portion of this section without firing your gun. Utilize your flashlight, flares, and flashbangs effectively.
  • For the 'Can Pyramid' collectible, approach it from the side and climb to knock the cans over rather than shooting them.
  • During the bridge sequence, prioritize dodging and using your flashlight. Health regeneration is key.
  • When facing the animated digger, constant movement and focused flashlight use are crucial for survival.
  • 'Couch Potato' trophy (unlocks after watching the TV interview).
  • Various collectibles (Coffee Thermos, Manuscript Pages, Signs, Can Pyramid).
  • Weapons and ammo (Hunting Rifle, Flare Gun, Shotgun, Revolver Ammo, etc.).
