The Lost Heirloom

Complete walkthrough for the Project AEON quest in I Hate This Place. Includes tips for fighting the Broodmother, exploring tunnels, and finding key items like the Minecart Brake Lever and Crank.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head northwest in the Forest to a gate. Enter and prepare for the Broodmother boss fight. Use ranged weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun. Defeat the Broodmother and smaller spiders to earn the "That’s a hell of a spider" achievement.
  2. 2
    After the fight, enter the bunker entrance north of the arena. Navigate the tunnels, using the map found inside. You'll encounter various spiders, tentacle men, and hazmat enemies.
  3. 3
    Find a locked door to the northeast. Continue southwest, burning obstacles with Molotov Cocktails or explosives.
  4. 4
    Follow the path east, then southeast through an electrified area. Defeat the large enemy and find the Minecart Brake Lever. Turn off the switch to make the electrified zone safe.
  5. 5
    Head southwest, defeat enemies, and loot containers. Return to a previous path split and head west. Use the Minecart Brake Lever on the broken minecart and add Fuel to activate it.
  6. 6
    Use the activated cart to reach a new area with a Workbench, save point, and a door with a green light. Follow the path, fighting spiders, and loot containers.
  7. 7
    Continue northeast, fighting enemies and looting boxes. Use the Crank found earlier on a machine to open doors below.
  8. 8
    Return to the trapdoor and go down. Head northeast and northwest, then through the opened door. Climb the ladder to leave the tunnels.
  9. 9
    Above ground, head northwest to the Druid's Hut. Use the Workbench and loot the boxes inside and outside.
  10. 10
    In the next room, you'll find a save point and a bed. A trapdoor is present but inaccessible for now.
Tips
  • Crafting all weapons at the Workbench will unlock the "Arsenal" achievement.
  • The spider battlefield is one of the 41 locations needed for the "Full picture" achievement.
  • Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives are effective for burning obstacles in the tunnels.
  • Ensure you have Fuel x2 and an Electric Grenade x1 before proceeding.
  • The game is nearing its conclusion, so complete any remaining achievements now.
  • "That’s a hell of a spider" achievement.
  • Progress towards "Full picture" and "Arsenal" achievements.
