⚡ Pro Tips

💡 Explore thoroughly - many hidden areas and secrets
💡 Upgrade your weapons and abilities regularly
💡 Use stealth when possible - resources are scarce
💡 Save before boss fights
💡 Complete side content for extra rewards
💡 Pay attention to enemy weaknesses
💡 Use the environment to your advantage
💡 Experiment with different playstyles

🔦 Light Is Ammo

  • Boost the flashlight with the battery before shooting - a full focus drains the Taken shield in one burst
  • Hand flares break a grab, and the flare gun one-shots most Taken; carry both
  • Back away while focusing; standing still while charging is how you get grabbed

🕵️ Two Campaigns

  • Saga's case board only advances when you place the clue in the right slot - check the board after every scene
  • Alan rewrites reality in the writer's room; a scene change can open a path that did not exist before
  • Cult stashes hold the best upgrades; the charm you slot matters more than raw damage

🗺 Exploration

  • Look for the red-eye symbols on walls; they mark the hidden paths to stashes
