At the later cargo-hold entrance, scan the grave marker to enter the blind-beast maze. Walk quietly and stop when the creature approaches. Cybersport’s guide places the Polle statue and mouthwash to the left of the broken bridge; that precise route detail has one source.
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.
Rules
Use the scanner on the grave marker where the cargo door was. Walk slowly and pause when the creature approaches; do not sprint. Cybersport and the community wiki both describe quiet movement. The scanner cue for when the creature retreats is reported by Cybersport alone.
Goal: the Polle statue and the mouthwash used as disinfectant. Cybersport alone gives the left-of-broken-bridge route note; it is not a multi-source route confirmation, and no counted junction list is verified.
Why the scene is here
The beast is one of Polle’s nightmare shapes. The symbolism page separates that reading from the walking rule. You can finish the maze without agreeing with the reading.
This is not the vent chase. In the vent you keep moving. Here you stop.
Cross the horse maze
- Scan the sign. The scanner opens the path at the grave marker.
- Walk, then stop. Do not run. Freeze when the beast is close.
- Left of the bridge. Cybersport places the statue left of the broken bridge. Single-source route detail; no counted turns are verified.
