Learn how to survive the treacherous aquatic foes in Rotwood. This guide covers enemy weaknesses, strategies, and essential tips for navigating the watery dangers.

The sewers and watery areas of Rotwood can be particularly dangerous, filled with unique enemies that require specific tactics to overcome. This guide will help you navigate these aquatic challenges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Sewers: Navigate the straightforward sewer path. Be wary of green zombies, which require two knife attacks to defeat. Solve a liquid balancing puzzle to obtain a medallion.
  2. 2
    WRot Radio Station: Solve a wave-matching puzzle to unlock a gate and defeat a unique boss to obtain the Radio Station key.
  3. 3
    Barlow’s Meat Shop: Find a tape with a locker code. Solve a skull puzzle (Cow, Deer, Pig, Goat) to open the main door and defeat a boss for the Meat Shop Key.
  4. 4
    Rotwood Downtown: Locate three unique canes hidden in the School, Crimson Reels cinema, and Bethany’s Curse and Crafts. Place these canes on altars to unlock the gate to the Rotwood Cemetery. It's often best to run past regular enemies here.
  5. 5
    Bethany’s Curse And Crafts: Find parts of a moth. Solve a riddle involving portraits (The Lovers, The Devil, Death) and celestial bodies (Stars, Sun, Moon) to obtain the second half of the moth. Combine the parts and place them on a monument to get the first cane.

    Vincent Rypard’s House: Defeat bloated zombies. Solve an optional puzzle involving portraits (Life, Pain, Death) to access a basement laboratory and manually activate a sewer lift, saving your partner.
  8. 8
    The Crimson Reel: Use the Ritual Medallion to enter. The cinema is locked; find the key in Video Outlaw, where you can also find a hammer.
