The Last of Us Part II: Capitol Hill Guide

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've made it to Capitol Hill. This area can be a bit of a maze, and the WLF are out in full force, so let's get you through it without too much trouble.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start by entering the main street of Capitol Hill. Keep your eyes peeled – there are usually a couple of patrols out here. Stick to cover and try to take them down quietly. Remember, headshots are your best friend, but body shots will stagger them, giving you a chance to close the distance or line up another shot.
2
As you move down the street, you'll see a large building on your right, often referred to as the 'Courthouse'. This is a key area. There are usually enemies inside and sometimes on the roof. It's a good place to scavenge for supplies, but be ready for a fight.
3
Don't forget to check the side streets and alleys. Sometimes the best loot, or a sneaky way around a group of enemies, is hidden away. Listen for enemy chatter – it'll give you a heads-up on their positions.
4
There's a section where you'll likely need to cross an open area, possibly with a truck or some debris providing cover. This is where things can get hairy. If you're spotted, enemies will pour in from multiple directions. Use grenades or Molotovs if you have them to control the crowd.
5
Keep pushing through, using the environment to your advantage. Vault over cover, dodge incoming fire, and always be aware of your surroundings. There might be a moment where you have to climb over some rubble or squeeze through a tight spot – just follow the path forward.
6
Eventually, you'll reach a point where you need to make your way towards a more fortified building, often involving some verticality, like climbing up to a higher level. Enemies will be defending this approach, so be patient and pick them off one by one.

Tips

Always be crafting. If you have a moment of downtime, whip up some health kits or throwable items. You never know when you'll need them.
Use your Listen Mode frequently, but don't rely on it entirely. Enemies can still surprise you if they're moving erratically or if you're too far away.
If you find yourself overwhelmed, don't be afraid to break line of sight and reposition. Find some good cover and let things calm down for a second before re-engaging.
Capitol Hill is a great place to practice your stealth takedowns. Try to isolate enemies and pick them off without alerting the rest of the group.

Successfully navigating Capitol Hill will allow you to progress further into Seattle, opening up new areas and story progression. You'll also find valuable resources along the way.
