The Evil Within Part 38 covers the Sadist boss fight and tips for Chapters 4 and 5, including strategies for invisible enemies and tough boss encounters.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Clear out the building with Jiminez, ensuring you collect the health pack.
  2. 2
    Examine the exit and then meet the Sadist.
  3. 3
    Lead the Sadist into the Jiminez house.
  4. 4
    Utilize the lever in the dining room while the Sadist is in the nearby hallway to skewer him. This may take multiple attempts.
  5. 5
    After skewering him, wait for him to follow you, then use a nearby window to lead him outside and repeat the lever strategy. He will fall to the spears without using ammunition.
  6. 6
    Collect the Sadist's dropped chest and gel, then exit the chapter.

Tips:

  • For Chapter 4, "The Patient", you can find a chest in the left house, which contains an enemy. Decide if it's worth fighting.
  • The house on the right (where the ghost lady appears) is enemy-free and contains items.
  • Visit Valerio, kill him, and collect his key. You can then visit the save room before entering the room where Leslie is.
  • The invisible enemy in Chapter 4 is difficult. If you are fast, you can burn it after a shotgun blast, but it may take several shots.
  • Gather all items in the area before the final fight of Chapter 4, including the second key from the lever/chute.
  • Find the ladder in the sludge that leads to the catwalk above a door. You will run here after your first attack.
  • Place a bomb where enemies appear (trap) and then go to the door. Place another trap by the railing as 2-3 zombies will climb it.
  • Approach the door to start the fight. The initial bombs and traps will help.
  • Once zombies scale the wall, place a grenade near them (there is always one on the floor).
  • Use an upgraded bolt to blind the group, then perform melee attacks on a few enemies.
  • A second wave will appear, including a Ruvik Clone. Jump the fence and go up the ladder.
  • From the ladder, Ruvik cannot reach you, and you are relatively safe. Shoot enemies, including Ruvik, as they climb up. You can finish the fight from this vantage point.
  • After the fight, escape from Laura. Grab the initial gel and run through the halls.
  • Hit the button on the door, collect items, and go down the ladder.
  • Dismantle the first trap, duck under the second, and run to safety.
  • Go down the stairs to meet Ruvik. Do not waste ammunition and head back up to end the chapter.
  • Chapter 5, "Inner Recesses", is the hardest challenge yet.
  • NOTE: Upgrade Flash Bolts for Chapter 6, as they are very helpful in Nightmare/Akumu modes.
  • The first part of Chapter 5 involves invisible enemies in the mental ward. Visit all rooms and collect items.
  • Each invisible enemy in Chapter 5 gives 1,000 Green Gel.
  • In the bathroom, shoot the rat for a key. In the next room, you will encounter another invisible enemy.
  • It is not worth running past the invisible enemies. If they grab you with low health, it is likely over. On Nightmare, you will be near death; on Akumu, you will die.
  • Lay traps and follow up with well-placed pistol or shotgun shots against invisible enemies.
  • Invisible enemies move side-to-side, making the crossbow line method difficult. Aim the crossbow line at their body.
  • Stay on the move if you think invisible enemies are close, as they reveal themselves when they try to grab you, even if they miss.
  • Kill the two invisible foes on your way to the keycard and the third on your way back.
  • After recovering and healing Joseph, you will go through a room with
