Guide yourself through Theta Entrance 2 in SOMA. Learn how to sneak past the sound-sensitive PROXY, reset the server mainframe, and escape the dangers lurking in the depths.

Alright, we're heading into Theta Entrance 2. Catherine's going to fill you in on some backstory about Strohmeier and the ARK, but the main thing to focus on right now is getting through this area. There are a lot of unsettling noises and screaming down here, so keep your wits about you.

As you head down the long staircase, you'll notice a few doors. The one directly closest to the bottom is a dead end, so don't bother with it. The middle door, across from the bottom of the stairs, leads to a room with servers and a poor soul trapped by the WAU. You can't help them, so we'll leave them be for now.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head for the left door: From the bottom of the stairs, take the door on the left. You'll immediately see another person trapped by the WAU structure, and this is where the unsettling noises are originating.
  2. 2
    Prepare to sneak: Crouch down and turn off your flashlight. The creature you'll encounter here is a PROXY. It has a body and legs but no arms, and it's extremely sensitive to sound but completely blind. You can use your flashlight sparingly, but be careful not to step on anything on the ground, as that will alert it to your presence.
  3. 3
    Navigate the server room: Carefully move between the server racks. The PROXY is patrolling, so slow and steady is key. Your goal is to reach the server mainframe control panel.
  4. 4
    Initiate the server reset: Once you find the control panel, press the yellow button on the right and then use the switch to reset the router. This action will attract the PROXY.
  5. 5
    Evade the PROXY: As soon as you reset the router, sneak away from the console. The PROXY will come to investigate the noise. Wait for it to wander off.
  6. 6
    Complete the reset: You have about 30 seconds to sneak back to the console, flip the switch again to complete the reset, and then sneak away once more.
  7. 7
    Escape the server vault: Once the reset is initiated, carefully sneak out of the server vault.
  8. 8
    Ascend the broken stairs: Now, you'll need to backtrack up the stairs. Part of them are broken, but don't worry. Since the PROXY in the server room lacks arms, it can't climb the broken section to follow you.
Tips
  • The PROXY is your main threat here. Its blindness makes it predictable if you're quiet, but any loud noise or accidental step will put you in immediate danger.
  • Conserve your flashlight use. Only turn it on when absolutely necessary to see the immediate path, and turn it off as soon as you've seen what you need to.
  • The 30-second window to flip the switch again is crucial. Don't linger too long after the first reset; get out, let the PROXY investigate, and then make your move back to the console.
