Part 2

General Tips: The absolute best way to survive is by using stealth whenever possible. A successful stealth kill not only saves you ammo but also matches and sometimes even health. Don't underestimate melee attacks either; they're great for stunning enemies and can even interrupt their attacks. Always grab axes and torches when you find them – torches are fantastic for setting groups of enemies on fire at once if they're bunched up.

Save Hubs: Remember that when you enter a save hub (through those creepy cracked mirrors), you'll lose any melee weapons you've picked up. So, if there are any enemies left around, use those weapons on them before you step through the mirror.

Shotgun Strategy: The shotgun is your go-to for crowd control. Try to line up enemies so you can hit multiple with one blast, as it spreads. This will usually knock them down, but not kill them. If you can quickly rush in and set them on fire with a torch, you'll save a lot of ammo.

Trap Dismantling: It's really worth your time to disarm as many traps as you can, especially early on. The parts you get are crucial for crafting bolts for the Agony Crossbow. Later on, dismantling traps becomes much harder with tighter timing windows, so getting those parts now will really pay off. Always go for bear traps and wire traps unless you can lure an enemy into one.

Health Management: Only consider upgrading your health when you're really in a bind. The health upgrade instantly refills your entire health bar, which is a lifesaver. The same goes for Medical Kits – save them for when you absolutely need them.

Resource Conservation: Don't waste matches on enemies you've already stealth-killed. If you've managed to blow an enemy's head off (unless it's one of those two-headed types that need both heads removed), they won't respawn. This guide will point out which enemies might come back to life so you know where to focus your efforts.

Enemy Drops: Generally, if an enemy drops an item, they're permanently dead.
