Your guide to surviving Part 4 of The Evil Within. Learn how to navigate the hospital, evade the Executioner, and find crucial items to progress.
Alright, let's dive into Part 4 of The Evil Within. This section is all about navigating a particularly nasty hospital and trying to avoid a very persistent, very large man with a giant meat cleaver. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.
First off, before we even get into the action, let's make sure you know your controls. It's easy to get flustered when things get intense, so having these down will help a ton. Here's a quick rundown:

| Right Analog Stick | Camera Movement |
| Left Analog Stick (Push) | Lantern On/Off |
| Right Analog Stick (Push) | Inventory Screen |
| Directional Pad (Up/Left/Right/Down) | Item Shortcut |
| A / X | Confirm/Interact |
| B / O | Cancel/Burn |

| Y / Triangle | Melee |
| LB / L1 | Sprint |
| LT / L2 | Aim |

Remember, you can always tweak these in the Options Menu if something doesn't feel right for you.
Walkthrough: An Emergency Call [WLK-1]
You'll start by watching the opening cutscene. After that, your immediate goal is simple: get inside the building and make your way to the security room. It's not long before another scene plays, and you'll quickly realize you're in a heap of trouble.
Once you get your bearings, you'll need to swing towards the knife stuck in the corpse hanging in front of you to free yourself. Now, here's where things get tense. You can enter sneak mode (RB/R1) and try to get behind the executioner to stab him. I've tried it, and while it's possible, it definitely won't kill him. He'll catch up to you soon enough. Instead of risking it, grab the keys hanging near the table and head back to the first room you were in. Look for a door on the side and go through it. You might think you're safe, but not quite!
As you move forward, you'll accidentally trip an alarm. Your only option now is to run towards the end of the hallway. In the next room, move through the center and open the hatch you find at the end. You'll slide down, and this is a tricky part: you need to avoid the grinders by moving left and right. Keep at it until you reach the bottom, then climb out of the mess and go through the door on the other side.
You'll come to an intersection. Just move to the right; the left path is a dead end. Hop into the water and climb the ladder on the opposite side. Make your way to the body in the wheelchair and pick up the [OLD NOTE FROM SEWER] lying next to him. Don't bother with the first door on the right you passed earlier – it's also a dead end. The gates ahead are locked. Instead, go through the nearby doorway and up the ladder. You'll find a desk with a monitor; inspect it to find the [BOILER ROOM NOTE]. Press the button next to the door and proceed down the hallway.
Here's another encounter with the executioner. When he appears, your best bet is to quickly enter the locker in this room. Wait until he moves on to the next area before you come out.
