Follow this detailed walkthrough for I Hate This Place to restore the Grandfather Clock, including enemy strategies, item locations, and puzzle solutions.
Walkthrough
- 1After defeating the Broodmother and obtaining the achievement 'That’s a hell of a spider', head north from the battle arena to find a bunker entrance leading into a series of tunnels.
- 2Navigate through the tunnels, fighting spiders and tentacle men. Locate a map, a TV save point, a campfire, and a note.
- 3Follow the path, using explosives to clear obstacles. Collect items and manage enemies like hazmat and tentacle men.
- 4Find the 'Minecart Brake Lever' and a switch to disable an electrified zone.
- 5Continue through the tunnels, eventually reaching a broken minecart. Use the 'Minecart Brake Lever' and 'Fuel' to activate it.
- 6The activated minecart opens a path to a Workbench, a TV save point, and containers. Use the minecart to travel to a previously inaccessible area with a locked door.
- 7Proceed through the newly opened door, finding a first-aid kit and a TV save point. Navigate further, dealing with ambushing spiders and splitting paths.
- 8Explore both northwest (dead end with containers) and northeast paths. The northeast path leads to more enemies and a lootable box.
- 9Continue along the southern paths, which merge, leading to more spiders and a trapdoor. Loot a box north of the trapdoor and open a shortcut northwest.
- 10Descend through the trapdoor, follow the path southeast to find a large spider, a first-aid kit, a TV save point, a 'Crank', and a lootable box.
- 11Return to the path split, head west, crouch under supports, and find two boxes near a ladder.
- 12Go back up the ladder, head northeast, and climb another ladder.
- 13From the top of the second ladder, defeat a tentacle man. Look southwest of the trapdoor for a lootable box.
- 14Head south of the trapdoor, defeat a large spider, and find a box.
- 15Head east of the trapdoor, defeat a tentacle man, and follow the path. Take the north path, defeat enemies, and collect loot. Use the 'Crank' on the machine to open doors below.
- 16Return to the trapdoor, go down, and head northeast and northwest, then through the opened door. Climb the ladder at the end to exit the tunnels.
- 17Above ground, head northwest to the 'Druid’s Hut'. Loot a box to the left of the steps and use the Workbench.
- 18Inside the Hut, loot boxes and find a note. In the next room, find a TV save point and a bed. A trapdoor with a button is present but inaccessible for now.
