Detailed walkthrough for Part 22 of Gears of War, including strategies for the Left and Right paths, enemy encounters, collectible locations, and Insane mode tips.

Walkthrough:

  1. Use the Torque Bow if you have it for the Boomers. Snipe enemies in the courtyard and prioritize the sniper in the building above the Boomers.
  2. Locate the Cog Tags (CT25) in this area. Head back to the start, down the ramp, and up the first stairs on the right.
  3. Pick up all available ammo before proceeding to the area where the Boomers appeared.
  4. Insane Mode Note: This area is difficult with no checkpoints. Fall back from Theron Guards and revive teammates. A Boomshot is available in the shed where the sniper usually is.
  5. You must split up. If you have the Longshot, the Left Path is recommended. Otherwise, the Right Path might be easier, but the choice is yours.
  6. Left Path:
    • Round the corner and head left for Lancer ammo and grenades.
    • Turn around and go up the stairs.
    • At the top, use the Lancer's chainsaw or shotgun to defeat the Theron Guard.
    • Enter the next room and pick off enemies on the ground with mid-to-long range weapons, preferably the Longshot.
    • Hop over the low wall and take cover behind the pillar to shotgun Wretches. Fall back to regenerate health if needed.
    • Kill the remaining Locust and Wretches in the next room.
    • Pick up the Hammer of Dawn next to the window and use it on the seeder. Watch for Wretches from the left hallway.
    • Switch back to your preferred weapon and head down the hallway to twist the valve.
    • Follow the new door outside. Destroy Wretches and snipe enemies below.
    • As you go down the stairs, have your shotgun ready for Wretches. Destroy remaining Locusts by sniping or falling back.
    • Head across the street and into the building. Go left and then outside to take cover.
    • If in co-op, wait for your ally to handle the Troika. If solo, snipe enemies. Be patient as there is limited cover.
    • Once you hop across, enter the house and pick up ammo. Blow the propane tanks in the truck and go through the gate.
  7. Right Path:
    • Take cover and snipe all enemies in the courtyard. Use Lancer or Torque Bow if you don't have the Longshot.
    • After the first wave, defeat the second wave which includes a Theron Guard or two.
    • Pick up ammo and head through the doorway on the left.
    • Obtain the Hammer of Dawn located in the middle of the pathway.
    • Use the Hammer of Dawn to take out the Seeder and other enemies.
    • Grab your Longshot, plug the Locust hole, and wait for Dom to open the gate.
    • Proceed through the building until you are outside.
    • Take cover on the wall (diagram provided in source text). Use this spot to snipe enemies and shotgun Wretches.
    • Cross the area and head inside the building.
