Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for I Hate This Place's Project AEON. Learn how to defeat the Broodmother, navigate the tunnels, and progress through the game's final stages.
Walkthrough
- 1Head northwest in the Forest to a gate. Use a key to enter.
- 2In the arena, defeat the Broodmother and its smaller spider spawns. The Broodmother spits tentacles to pull you in. Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun and maintain distance.
- 3After the fight, head north to find a bunker entrance leading to tunnels.
- 4Follow the tunnels, using maps found along the way. Fight spiders, tentacle men, and hazmat enemies.
- 5You'll encounter electrified areas; use a switch to disable them temporarily.
- 6Find a Minecart Brake Lever and use it on a broken minecart. Use Fuel to activate it, opening a path to a Workbench and save point.
- 7Use the minecart to access a previously locked door.
- 8Continue through the tunnels, looting containers and fighting enemies. You'll find a Crank.
- 9Use the Crank on a machine to open doors, then backtrack and proceed through the newly opened path to exit the tunnels.
- 10Above ground, head northwest to the Druid's Hut. Loot boxes and use the Workbench.
- 11Inside the Hut, find a save point and a trapdoor that is currently inaccessible.
