Learn how to defeat the Broodmother and its spiderlings in I Hate This Place. This guide covers strategies, recommended weapons, and tips for the 'Pursuing Adam' mission.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the Forest and proceed northwest, then north to a gate near a large spider egg. Use the key to enter.
  2. 2
    Upon entering the battlefield, the Broodmother will attack. Smaller spiders will emerge from eggs around the arena.
  3. 3
    The Broodmother can attack like other spiders and also spit tentacles to drag you closer.
  4. 4
    Recommended weapons include the Submachine Gun and Riot Shotgun for quickly dispatching smaller spiders. Maintain distance from the Broodmother and focus fire on it.
  5. 5
    If the Broodmother grabs you, focus all gunfire on it.
  6. 6
    Throwable explosives like Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives are less effective due to the Broodmother's movement. If used, ensure the Broodmother stays within the explosion radius.
  7. 7
    After defeating the Broodmother and its offspring, head north of the battle arena to find a bunker entrance.
  8. 8
    Enter the bunker and proceed through the tunnels. You will find a map, a TV save point, a campfire for crafting, and a note.

    Head southwest and burn down an obstacle (Molotov Cocktail recommended).

  15. 15
    Head southeast, then east through an electrified area, defeating a large enemy and finding a first-aid kit.
  16. 16
    Northeast of the first-aid kit, find a broken mine cart and a switch to turn off the electrification.
  17. 17
    Head southwest, dealing with a hazmat enemy and tentacle man protecting lootable boxes.
  18. 18
    Return to the previous path split and head west. Defeat a large enemy to reach a broken mine cart.
  19. 19
    Use the Minecart Brake Lever (found earlier) and Fuel to activate the cart, opening a nearby door.
  20. 20
    Enter the activated door to find a Workbench, TV save point, note, and containers.
  21. 21
    Use the minecart to return to a previous area and proceed through a newly opened door with a green light.

    Follow the path, encountering ambushing large spiders. The path splits northwest (dead end with loot) and northeast.

    Head northeast, defeat a large enemy, and find a first-aid kit.

    Loot a box to your right, then deal with tentacle men (southeast) and a large spider (southwest) at the next path split.

    Return to the split and head west, crouching under supports to find boxes near a ladder (shortcut).
  30. 30
    Go back up the ladder you came down from, head northeast, and follow the left wall to another ladder.
  31. 31
    Climb this ladder, defeat a tentacle man, and loot a box southwest of the trapdoor.
  32. 32
    Head south of the trapdoor, defeat a large spider, and find a box.
  33. 33
    Head east of the trapdoor, defeat a tentacle man, and follow the path.
  34. 34
    At the next split, take the north path, defeat a large enemy, and loot boxes and crates.
