Part 3

Master The Evil Within Part 3! Learn the best upgrade paths for early, mid, and late game, plus a breakdown of PS4 and Xbox 360 controls to keep you alive.

Alright, let's talk about how to best spend your hard-earned Green Gel and what buttons you'll be mashing in Part 3. This section is all about making Sebastian more survivable and efficient, and understanding your controller like the back of your hand.

Upgrade Strategy:

• Early Game (First Few Chapters): Don't blow all your Green Gel! The smartest move here is to invest in upgrading your matches, handgun ammo capacity, and syringe stock. These aren't super expensive, and they'll prevent you from having to leave valuable ammo and healing items behind later. Trust me, seeing a syringe you can't pick up is a real bummer.
• Mid-Game: As the threats get tougher, so should your upgrades. Now's the time to start focusing on increasing your weapon damage output. Being able to carry the maximum amount of bolts for your crossbow is also a huge help, and don't forget to upgrade the power of those exploding bolts – they can save your bacon more times than you'd think.
• Late Game: By this point, you'll have some powerful new toys like the Sniper Rifle and the Magnum. Pour your Green Gel into increasing their damage. While maxing out ammo stocks is still good, it starts to lose priority. It's still worth maxing out Syringes, but don't over-prioritize ammo upgrades over things like increased health, improved dashing, and enhanced healing power for syringes. These latter upgrades make a significant difference, especially during those nail-biting boss encounters.
