Complete The Evil Within 2 Part 26 walkthrough, including how to stealth past the camera lens and defeat Stefano Valentini.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After regaining control, chase Stefano down and proceed forward, jumping down to trigger a scene with a giant tentacle and blue light.
  2. 2
    This blue light is a camera lens; you MUST NOT LET IT SEE YOU, as it results in instant death. Time your movement to the next wall section when it looks away, and then again to your right.
  3. 3
    Let the light move to your left before dropping down.
  4. 4
    Ahead, behind a corner wall, find [HANDGUN BULLET x3]. Return to the ledge on the left.
  5. 5
    When the light moves left again, climb up and run right to reach the wall with the picture frame.
  6. 6
    Wait for the light to move left, then turn around to find a chunk of wall behind you.
  7. 7
    Go behind this wall to find [LOCKER KEY 20/32].
  8. 8
    Wait for the light to move left again and continue forward, going behind a large wall in the back.
  9. 9
    Jump down to an area where you will land next to a [FUSE].
  10. 10
    Stay in the dark as the blue light passes.
  11. 11
    Follow the light forward when it's safe, staying in the dark.
  12. 12
    To your left is a slope leading down to another wall and dark area. Aim for that, then move under the ruins ahead.
  13. 13
    Wait for the light to recede and hurry forward, jumping the ledge and sprinting to the end to trigger a scene.
  14. 14
    Head forward into the next room. Check to the left for a [FUSE].
  15. 15
    Grab the [RED GEL] and some [NAILS] to the left. Past the curtain by the nails, find [GUNPOWDER] and a [SYRINGE].
  16. 16
    Use the MIRROR to SAVE / UPGRADE if desired. Listen to Tatiana's pep-talk if you wish.
  17. 17
    Exit into the hotel atmosphere and head downwards.
  18. 18
    Proceed down the hallway, ignoring Stefano's taunts and artwork.
  19. 19
    At the bottom of a couple flights of stairs, check the area to the left for a [MEDKIT].
  20. 20
    Continue down the hallway and look to the right for [SHOTGUN SHELL x2].
  21. 21
    Head inward to trigger a scene with Stefano, initiating the boss encounter.

Boss: Stefano Valentini

This is a unique battle where Stefano actively hunts you. Treat it as a straight-up fight.

  1. Stefano's main advantage is his teleportation; engaging him from range is not advised. Your primary weapons should be your shotgun and crossbow bolts.
  2. Lay down traps at the corners of the half-built walls throughout the arena. Explosive bolt traps deal direct damage, while shock traps allow for a free shotgun shot.
  3. While waiting for traps, keep your shotgun out and back up slowly, using walls to limit where Stefano can teleport.
  4. Bait Stefano's close-range knife attack. As you back away, he will miss, allowing you to blast him with your shotgun.
  5. Watch out for his ranged knife-throw attacks and his "camera photo" attack, which slows you down and allows him to close the distance for a melee attack.
  6. During the first part of the fight, collect the treasure items: TWO [SHOTGUN SHELL x2], [HANDGUN BULLET x6], and a [SYRINGE].
  7. After dealing enough damage, Stefano will enter Phase 2. Your tactics remain the same, but he gains new attacks.
  8. Watch out for the Camera Eye in the background, which slams tendrils down. Stay behind walls for safety.
  9. Avoid "Explosive Space" attacks, where Stefano freezes explosions in the air like proximity mines.
  10. Dodge his melee rush attack, where he charges and stabs you if he connects. Use a syringe if needed.
  11. Continue using trap-based tactics along with your shotgun, staying behind walls for protection.
