Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for I Hate This Place's Project AEON quest. Includes boss fight strategies, item locations, and tips for navigating the tunnels and beyond.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Pursuing Adam: Head northwest and then north in the Forest to find a gate. Enter and prepare to fight the Broodmother and smaller spiders. Use ranged weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to defeat them. The Broodmother attacks with melee and can drag you in with tentacles.
  2. 2
    Exploring the tunnels: After the Broodmother fight, enter the bunker north of the arena. Navigate the tunnels, using maps and save points. You'll encounter various spiders and enemies. Key items to find include the Minecart Brake Lever and Fuel. Use the lever and Fuel to activate a minecart, which leads to a Workbench and a shortcut. Continue through the tunnels, finding more loot and eventually a Crank.
  3. 3
    Going above ground: Emerge from the tunnels and head northwest to the Druid's Hut. Loot containers, use the Workbench, and find notes inside. A trapdoor is present but inaccessible for now.
Tips
  • Ensure you have 2x Fuel and 1x Electric Grenade before starting this section.
  • Crafting all weapons at the Workbench will unlock the 'Arsenal' achievement.
  • The spider battlefield is one of the 41 locations needed for the 'Full picture' achievement.
  • Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives can be used to clear obstacles, but ranged weapons are generally better against the Broodmother.
  • Pay attention to environmental hazards like electrified zones and use switches to disable them.
  • Look for shortcuts to make backtracking easier.
  • 'That's a hell of a spider' achievement upon defeating the Broodmother.
  • Progress towards the 'Full picture' achievement.
  • Access to crafting stations and loot.
