The Origin of the Corruption

Learn how to defeat the Broodmother and its spiderlings in I Hate This Place. This guide covers strategies, recommended weapons, and achievement tips for the 'Pursuing Adam' section.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Go to the Forest and head northwest, then north until you reach a gate near a large spider egg. Use the key to enter.
  2. 2
    In the spider battlefield, move to the center. The Broodmother will attack, spawning smaller spiders from eggs.
  3. 3
    The Broodmother attacks with melee and can spit tentacles to drag you in.
  4. 4
    Use ranged weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to quickly dispatch smaller spiders and the Broodmother.
  5. 5
    Keep your distance from the Broodmother. If it pulls you in, focus all your fire on it.
  6. 6
    Avoid using throwable explosives like Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives as the Broodmother moves frequently. If used, ensure it stays within the explosion radius.
  7. 7
    After defeating the Broodmother, head north of the battle arena to find a bunker entrance.
  8. 8
    Enter the tunnels and proceed until you find a map. Head east of the map to find a TV save point, campfire, and a note.
  9. 9
    Crouch and move west, following the path and fighting spiders.
  10. 10
    At a path split (northwest and southwest), head northwest. Fight tentacle men and a hazmat enemy.
  11. 11
    Head west of the locked door to find another map and lootable containers.
  12. 12
    Head southwest and burn down the obstacle with a Molotov Cocktail, Grenade, or Mining Explosive.
  13. 13
    Follow the path. At a split (east and west), head east.
  14. 14
    Crouch under fallen supports and break another obstacle. Follow the path to a box. A shortcut door to the northeast can be opened here.
  15. 15
    Head southeast of the box, then east through an electrified area. Defeat a large enemy and search a first-aid kit.
  16. 16
    Northeast of the first-aid kit, find a broken mine cart with a Minecart Brake Lever. Southeast of the cart is a switch to turn off the electricity.
  17. 17
    Head southwest of the cart, fighting a hazmat enemy and a tentacle man to loot two boxes.
  18. 18
    Return to the previous path split and head west. Follow the path, defeat a large enemy, and reach a broken mine cart.
  19. 19
    Use the Minecart Brake Lever on the cart and add Fuel to activate it.
  20. 20
    Use the activated cart to move to a previous area. A door with a green light to the north will now be accessible.
  21. 21
    Follow the path through the door to find a first-aid kit and a TV save point.
  22. 22
    Continue along the path, fighting ambushing large spiders. At a split (northwest and northeast), going northwest leads to a dead end with two lootable containers.
  23. 23
    Head northeast and fight a large enemy. Search a first-aid kit on a barrel.
  24. 24
    Proceed and loot a box to your right. At the path split (southeast and southwest), deal with tentacle men (southeast) and a large spider (southwest).
  25. 25
    Continue along either southern direction. Defeat large spiders and encounter a trapdoor. Loot a box north of the trapdoor. Open a shortcut northwest of the trapdoor.
  26. 26
    Go down the trapdoor and follow the path southeast. Fight a large spider and find a first-aid kit.
  27. 27
    At a path split (east and west), head east to find a TV save point, a Crank, and a lootable box.
  28. 28
    Return to the path split and head west, crouching under supports. Find two boxes near a ladder (a shortcut to the tunnel entrance).
  29. 29
    Return to the original ladder and go up. Head northeast and stick to the left wall to find another ladder.
  30. 30
    Climb the ladder. Fight a tentacle man. Loot a box southwest of the trapdoor.
  31. 31
    Head south of the trapdoor, defeat a large spider, and find a box.
  32. 32
    Head east of the trapdoor, defeat a tentacle man. Follow the path to a split (east and north). Take the north path, defeat a large enemy, and loot a box (left), two crates (north), and a box (right). Use the Crank on the machine on the right to open doors below.
  33. 33
    Return to the trapdoor and go down. Head northeast and northwest, then northeast through the opened door. Climb the ladder at the end to leave the tunnels.
  34. 34
    Head northwest until you reach the Druid’s Hut. Loot a box to the left of the steps. Use the Workbench to the right.
  35. 35
    Inside the Hut, loot a box to the southwest near the Stove, and another box to the northeast near an open door. Read the note on the north table.
  36. 36
    In the next room, find a TV save point and a bed. A trapdoor with a button is present but inaccessible for now.
