Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head northwest in the Forest, then north until you reach a gate guarded by a large spider egg. Use the key to enter.
  2. 2
    The Broodmother and smaller spiders will attack. Defeat them using ranged weapons like the Submachine Gun or Riot Shotgun. Keep your distance from the Broodmother and focus fire if it pulls you in.
  3. 3
    After the battle, head north from the arena to find a bunker entrance.
  4. 4
    Inside, follow the tunnels. You'll find a map, a TV save point, a campfire, and a note.
  5. 5
    Crouch and head west, fighting spiders. At a path split, go northwest and defeat tentacle men and a hazmat enemy.
  6. 6
    Head west of the locked door to find another map and lootable containers.
  7. 7
    Go southwest and burn down an obstacle (Molotov Cocktail recommended).
  8. 8
    Follow the path east at the next split.
  9. 9
    Crouch under supports, break another obstacle, and follow the path to a box. A door northeast of the box is a shortcut.
  10. 10
    Head southeast of the box, then east through an electrified area, defeating a large enemy. Loot a first-aid kit and find the Minecart Brake Lever. Turn off the switch to make the electrified zone safe.
  11. 11
    Head southwest, defeating a hazmat enemy and tentacle man guarding two lootable boxes.
  12. 12
    Return to the previous path split and head west. Defeat a large enemy and use the Minecart Brake Lever and Fuel on the broken minecart to activate a door.
  13. 13
    Go through the activated door to find a Workbench, a TV save point, a note, and lootable containers.
  14. 14
    Use the minecart to return to a previous area and go through the newly opened green-lit door to the north.
  15. 15
    Follow the path, finding a first-aid kit and a TV save point.
  16. 16
    Continue, fighting ambushing large spiders. At a path split, going northwest leads to a dead end with a large spider and lootable containers.
  17. 17
    Head northeast, fighting a large enemy and looting a first-aid kit.
  18. 18
    Continue, looting a box. At the next path split, deal with tentacle men to the southeast and a large spider to the southwest.
  19. 19
    Continue along the merged southern paths, defeating large spiders. Find a trapdoor and loot a box north of it. A shortcut northwest of the trapdoor leads back to a previous area.
  20. 20
    Go through the trapdoor and follow the path southeast, defeating a large spider and looting a first-aid kit.
  21. 21
    At the next path split, head east to find a TV save point, a Crank, and a lootable box.
  22. 22
    Return to the path split and head west, crouching under supports. Find two boxes near a ladder (a shortcut to the tunnel entrance).
  23. 23
    Return to the original ladder and go up. Head northeast and follow the left wall to a ladder.
  24. 24
    Climb the ladder and defeat a tentacle man. Loot a box southwest of the trapdoor.
  25. 25
    Head south of the trapdoor, defeat a large spider, and loot a box.
  26. 26
    Head east of the trapdoor, defeat a tentacle man, and take the north path, defeating a large enemy. Loot boxes and crates. Use the Crank on the machine to open doors below.
  27. 27
    Return to the trapdoor and go down. Head northeast, then northwest, then northeast through the opened door. Climb the ladder at the end to exit the tunnels.
  28. 28
    Head northwest to reach the Druid's Hut. Loot a box to the left of the steps and use the Workbench to the right.
  29. 29
    Inside the Hut, loot boxes, use the Stove, and read a note on the north table.
  30. 30
    In the next room, find a TV save point and a bed. A trapdoor with a button is present but inaccessible for now.

  • Molotov Cocktails are effective for burning obstacles, but Grenades or Mining Explosives can also work.
  • Keep an eye out for shortcuts that can help you backtrack if needed.
  • The Minecart Brake Lever is found in the electrified zone.
  • The Crank is found in the tunnels and is used to open doors below the Druid's Hut.
  • The achievement 'That’s a hell of a spider' is awarded for winning the Broodmother fight.
  • The achievement 'Full picture' can be completed by finding all 41 locations, including the spider battlefield.
  • The achievement 'Arsenal' is awarded for crafting every weapon at the Workbench.
