Complete walkthrough for the Project AEON section of I Hate This Place. Includes details on defeating the Broodmother, navigating the tunnels, and finding key items.
Walkthrough
- 1Head to the Forest and proceed northwest, then north to a gate. Use the key to enter.
- 2In the open area, the Broodmother will attack. Smaller spiders will also emerge. The Broodmother can spit tentacles to pull you in. Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to defeat the spiders. Keep your distance from the Broodmother and focus fire on it if it grabs you.
- 3After the fight, head north to find a bunker entrance leading to tunnels.
- 4Follow the tunnels, fighting spiders and other enemies. You will encounter path splits; navigate through them, using explosives to clear obstacles.
- 5Collect items like the Minecart Brake Lever and use Fuel to activate minecarts for progression.
- 6You will find Workbenches, TV save points, and notes throughout the tunnels.
- 7Eventually, you will reach a ladder to go above ground near the Druid's Hut.
- 8Inside the Druid's Hut, loot boxes, use the Workbench, and find a note. There's a trapdoor with a button that is inaccessible for now.
