Part 39

Your expert guide to Part 39 of The Evil Within 2. Learn how to defeat enemies, find all collectibles, and overcome the boss rush.

Alright, let's push through Part 39. Head out the door and keep moving left. Grab those WEAPON PARTS x15 you'll see scattered around, then head up the stairs. You'll need to shoot the lever by the fire to proceed, and yeah, we've got a couple more enemies to deal with in this tight spot.

There's a Fire Enemy and a Regular Enemy patrolling here, but their routes are pretty short. You can probably sneak up on the regular guy, but honestly, just gun down the Fire Enemy. If you're feeling sneaky, you could try to hug the center to lose him, but it's quicker to just blast him.

Up to the north, you'll find another pair of fire and regular enemies. Take them out. The room to the north holds an AXE and, more importantly, the HANDGUN AMMO POUCH 5/5 – nice, we finally have them all! You might have spotted a Flamethrower enemy up north too, which is pretty gnarly. For now, though, duck into the room to the left (make sure the flames aren't spouting!) to snag SHOTGUN SHELL x2. Then, head south through the door.

A few enemies are going to burst in once you do. Keep your distance for a moment; one of them will wander off to the right, leaving two. Sneak up and take out the closer one, then follow the other one south to do the same. This little southern area has some GUNPOWDER and a MEDKIT chilling in the dust. Once you've got those, we need to follow that third enemy we spotted.

The path he took has several fire streams. You can turn these off by shooting the levers next to them, though the lower path on the right makes it less critical. Still, stalk that enemy and take him down. Use the lever further on to keep moving.

You'll eventually reach a room on the left after a short hallway. When you do, STOP and look up to the UPPER LEFT. You'll see a statue on the pipes – use your light to spot it easily. Shoot it down to get the final LOCKER KEY 32/32. Awesome! We won't get the trophy just yet, though; we need to head back to the Safe House to actually open all those lockers.

Now, ready for a fight?! Good. Use the LEVER here, and brace yourself – three Flesh Hounds are coming your way. Take down the first one near the gate with close-range shotgun blasts. The second one will come from behind, to your right. You can try setting a trap or just snipe it, but don't linger because a third one will spawn from the hallway behind you. Focus on this third hound with close shotgun blasts, then clean up the last one. After they're all down, check the back of this area for some GUNPOWDER, WEAPON PARTS x75, and a SHOCK BOLT.

Head up the stairs now. You'll see a MIRROR nearby. This is the perfect time to pop back into your room and open all those lockers. Since we have all the keys now, doing this will pop another trophy, so it's definitely worth it!

• (-NOTE-) You will get the "Locksmith" Silver Trophy for finding all of the Locker Keys in the game AND opening all of the lockers.

(IMPORTANT NOTE) Make sure your SNIPER RIFLE DAMAGE is upgraded before heading back into the nightmare. Bring at least 6 bullets with you – it'll make an upcoming fight way easier.

Head back into the nightmare and take the elevator to continue. You'll get some dialogue and then enter a large area. In this open space, check the left side for a HARPOON BOLT and the right side for GUNPOWDER and a FUSE. Now, find the BLOOD PIT and jump down.

You'll find a shadow here for RESIDUAL MEMORIES 20/24, and in the back, there's a SYRINGE.

Head back out of the blood pit, past the altar, and through the door. After a scene with Theodore, he'll finally confront us. Enjoy the cutscenes as they lead into a boss fight...
