Guide to completing I Hate This Place on the hardest difficulty, covering Project AEON, boss fights, item requirements, and achievement unlocks.
Walkthrough
- 1Head northwest in the Forest to a gate. Enter and proceed to the center of the arena to trigger the Broodmother boss fight. Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to defeat the Broodmother and its smaller spider spawns. Avoid being dragged in by its tentacles.
- 2After the fight, enter the bunker entrance to the north. Navigate the tunnels, following the map and fighting spiders and tentacle men.
- 3Find and use the Minecart Brake Lever and Fuel to activate a minecart. Use the cart to reach a new area with a Workbench and save point.
- 4Continue through the tunnels, using a Crank to open doors and eventually finding a ladder to exit the tunnels.
- 5Above ground, head northwest to the Druid's Hut. Loot containers and use the Workbench. Inside the hut, find a TV save point and note a trapdoor with a button that is currently inaccessible.
