Part 42

Detailed walkthrough for Part 42 of The Evil Within, covering Chapter 11: Reunion. Includes tips for boss fights, enemy encounters, and navigating Ruvik's street and the construction area.

This section of the guide for The Evil Within focuses on Part 42, which includes Chapter 11: Reunion. It emphasizes smart use of items, particularly shock and freeze bolts, and recommends upgrading the sprint ability to level 3. For players struggling with ammo, it suggests using keys before difficult encounters.

Walkthrough:

1. Opening Encounter: Begin by sniping the visible eye of the beast. This critical hit will stun it, allowing you to throw 1-2 grenades. Then, retreat to the back to snipe it again when it reappears.
2. Item Room Strategy: After the initial encounter, run to the nearest item room, loot it quickly, and then engage the beast. After a few hits, it will rear back, giving you an opportunity to escape. You can use a shock bolt for extended damage or simply run away. Continue sniping and prepare for the second phase.
3. Second Phase Strategy: When the beast enters its second phase, be ready with an electric bolt to shock it, followed by sniping. If the stun isn't long enough, use a freeze bolt and more sniping or shotgun shells. Aim for the central eye, visible when the monster is frozen or shocked, as it's the weak spot.
4. Chapter 11: Reunion - Tips:
• Magnum Upgrade: Prioritize upgrading the damage on the Magnum. This weapon is crucial for later boss fights, including the Keepers and the Quell fight.
• Cage Maze: Navigate the cage maze, taking out enemies as you can. Grab the key, then prepare for the shooter. Aim for its knees and burn it.
• Enemy Ambush: Enemies will attack from behind. Use your sniper rifle to eliminate the guard on the boxcar ASAP. Lead other enemies into a wider area and use an upgraded flash bolt to kill multiple foes. Alternatively, head towards the water section, but note there's ammo up a fire escape.
• Ruvik's Street: Gather items and burn corpses before Ruvik appears. He will spawn in two locations: the normal area and your starting area. An upgraded harpoon bolt can kill Ruvik in one hit. Shoot both Ruviks with this bolt, then loot the area. Enemies will die even if Ruviks are still alive.
• Construction Area: Snipe the distant enemy. After a cable car event, a sniper will appear in a far building behind a barricade. This sniper waits until the door opens 2-3 times before firing.
• AKUMU Difficulty - Construction Area: On AKUMU, shoot the initial enemy and head down. Collect boxes on the right and kill the enemy to the left. To deal with the sniper, shoot a flash bolt where it appears to stun it, allowing you to snipe it.
• Door Encounters: Use grenades on the door, throwing them slightly short of the opening as it begins to open. Upgraded flash or freeze bolts can also be effective. After 2-3 waves, watch for sniper fire and take cover. Eliminate the sniper ASAP from a distance, as a dynamite-throwing enemy will emerge from the door area. Clear remaining foes and advance.
• AKUMU Difficulty - Final Door: Near the end on AKUMU, enemies with guns will appear. At the last door opening, an enemy will shoot from a fixed position. Crouch behind the metal barrier and snipe it after it finishes firing.
• Second Area - Sniper: In the second area, a sniper is located by the generator, with traps and bombs along the way. Sneak up and eliminate them. Disable traps for parts. When the generator starts, enemies will appear. Kill the nearby sniper first, then a second one that retreats. Stay at the generator to kill enemies coming up the ladder. Eliminate the final sniper.
• The Ride: Knock down all enemies. Use explosive rounds where enemies are expected to appear and pistol shots to knock enemies off. Prioritize Molotov enemies. Around halfway, 2-3 enemies will appear on each side, making it difficult, especially on Akumu. Focus on killing enemies on the right side.
