Three chases, three rules. In the cargo maze, do not run. In the vent, keep moving and turn when the shape does. In the graveyard, pick up the revolver and land three hits.
What I saw
This guide compares public written sources checked on 2026-10-28. No gameplay test was performed. Specific details supported by only one source are labeled below.
Cargo and vent
The blind beast: walk, stop when it is close, and do not sprint. Noise and movement while it is near get you hit. The horse-maze page repeats the route note: the path to the statue is on the left of the broken bridge.
In the vent sequence, move away from the centipede shape and take the opposite direction at its appearances. The community Polle article is the sole written source used here for this directional rule. No exact turn-by-turn route has been independently checked.
Graveyard
The revolver is on the floor near the tied-up Swansea before the graveyard transition. Equip it, then listen for footsteps in the graveyard and shoot when he appears. Cybersport says three successful hits are needed, with a restart if he reaches you; the chapter article also describes three shots.
Keep the gun ready and use cover behind you to reduce approaches from the rear. That tactic is from Cybersport (single source). A fixed delay after a sound cue has not been reverified and is not a requirement in this guide.
Clear the three chases
- Cargo. Do not run. Stop when the beast is near.
- Vent. Keep moving and turn away from the centipede.
- Graveyard. Take the revolver and hit three times. A grab restarts the section.
