Walkthrough
- 1Go to the Forest and head northwest, then north until you reach a gate near a large spider egg. Use the key to enter.
- 2In the center of the battlefield, the Broodmother will attack. Smaller spiders will emerge from eggs around the arena.
- 3The Broodmother can spit tentacles to drag you closer.
- 4Use weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun to quickly dispatch the smaller spiders and the Broodmother. Keep your distance.
- 5If the Broodmother captures you, focus all your gunfire on it.
- 6Throwable explosives like Molotov Cocktails or Mining Explosives are less effective due to the Broodmother's movement.

- 28At a path split, head east to find a TV save point, a Crank, and a lootable box.

- 31Defeat a tentacle man and loot a box southwest of the trapdoor.
- 32Head south of the trapdoor, defeat a large spider, and find a box.
