Complete walkthrough for Part 8 of Gears of War 4, covering strategies for the Troika, Emergence Holes, and the Fork In The Road chapter on Insane difficulty.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After exiting the hole, eliminate enemies. Look left of the exit for Cog Tag (CT5) before heading outside.
  2. 2
    Follow the path north towards the bodies for a cutscene, completing the second chapter.
  3. 3
    Insane Notes: Flank Locusts. If one approaches, run. Avoid letting them get close as their melee is an instant kill on Insane.
  4. 4
    When the first Emergence Hole appears, you can use a grenade by running up, throwing it, and immediately taking cover.
  5. 5
    Fish In A Barrel: You'll face a Troika. Flanking is key. Head to the right passageway, which is blocked but has a small passage allowing you to get behind the Troika. Shoot it with your Lancer. Eliminate its allies.
  6. 6
    Heading north, you'll encounter more enemies. You can either lead them back to the Troika or flank them. For flanking, find a small passage on the right, leading to a courtyard. Go around behind the enemies. After killing them, return to the courtyard.
  7. 7
    Take cover next to the large statue in the middle of the area. Pick up grenades if needed.
  8. 8
    Four Locust holes will appear. Three in random order, and one to the north-east. Try to plug them with grenades as this makes the fight easier. For the first three, stay in the circle. For the fourth, it's easier to get out and hide behind scattered wall chunks, or near the statue.
  9. 9
    Find Cog Tag (CT6) northwest of the circle, near some grenades.
  10. 10
    Head towards the exit.
  11. 11
    Insane Notes: The Troika is easy by flanking. The courtyard battle can be tough. After sealing the first two holes with grenades, hide behind the small wall between the two long roads for easier enemy kills.
  12. 12
    Fork In The Road: You must split up. The left path is recommended as easier, but both meet in the same room.
  13. 13
    If taking the left path, head up to the doorway. Take cover to the left or right. Enemies may charge down; chainsaw them if they do, otherwise shoot from cover. The next room might be empty.
  14. 14
    If on the left path, shoot through the boarded window to kill the Troika on the right path.
  15. 15
    Proceed through the bathroom and press the button to enter the next room where you regroup.
  16. 16
    When facing the Troika again, flank it.
  17. 17
    Roadie run ahead of the door, pick up ammo if needed, and head through the door to your left.
  18. 18
    Head north through the next door and take cover behind a large propane tank to recharge health.
  19. 19
    Duck around the tank and head north towards the door. Kick it open and run upstairs. Chainsaw the enemy if they don't notice you. Kill the Locust manning the Troika from the window.
  20. 20
    Head through the door, take cover, and wrap up the section.
