The Last of Us 2 Walkthrough Chapter 6: Seattle Day 1 – Hostile Territory

This The Last of Us 2 Walkthrough for Chapter 6: Seattle Day 1 – Hostile Territory includes tips for encounters against Seraphites and all collectible locations which include 12 artifacts, 1 coin, 1 workbench, and 1 safe.

Hostile Territory Walkthrough.

Walk With Manny

Follow Manny down the side of the building.

Inside the apartment building, loot the kitchen for scraps. There’s also white door leading to a bedroom. Open the drawer to pick up a note that Manny will quickly take from you. It’s private! Not a collectible.

Drop down through the hole in the floor and continue to the next room and exit out of the window, onto the scaffolding. Keep following Manny.

Artifact – Scar’s Suicide Note

When you leave Manny behind, head through an alley and down until you spot a brick building with the words “Tang’s Fabric & Imports” painted on, and turn around to see an open window across the alley leading to a small room with a dead Seraphite, who holds a note in his pocket.

Training Manual – Close Quarters

Possibly located in the same room as the dead Seraphite across from the import building, you can find this manual on a kitchen counter. This spawn may vary.

You can loot the dumpling shop for supplies. On the main path, go straight ahead, down a few steps into the building with the open doorway. Look to the door labeled exit, in this clothing store. It’s blocked but you can climb onto the table, covered by the white tarp, and pull yourself over the exit.

Climb up the car to reach the truck leading into the next apartment building.

Coin – North Dakota

As soon as you’re in this apartment, open the desk drawer at the end of the hall to add another coin to your collection.

Move forward and squeeze through the small space. You’ll have to back out take down the enemy that appears. Once dead, go through the small space again as if nothing happened.

Loot the bathroom ahead for supplements. Continue ahead by doing a running jump onto the platform across from the apartment. Loot the lookout post and continue ahead towards the overgrown plants. Crawl through the opening.

Drop down to enter a little courtyard. There’s a huge mural in front of you. Move towards it and jump through the window to loot the laundry room for supplements and other supplies.

Return to the courtyard and head through the opening ahead (the mossy wooden plank doorway). Once you squeeze into the section ahead, infected will be roaming around. Be ready!

Tips:

  • Focus on stealth takedowns. Kill the infected walking ahead and then take down the one standing behind the reception desk.

  • Head to the desk ahead for more cover. Keep in mind a runner and a clicker are in this section.

  • As usual, loot the area for supplies.

 

When you’re ready, continue ahead, squeezing onto the patio. Lift yourself over the gap in the brick wall again to drop into the alley.

Safe – Location

Walk ahead and break the windows on the left to enter Jasmine Bakery. There’s a safe behind the register and the code isn’t too far.

Enter the restaurant and head through the back door, up the stairs. You’ll have to crawl under the furniture blocking the doorway. Listen to get a sense of where everyone is. Tip: while prone, kill the first Clicker with a headshot. Crawl a little closer and kill the second Clicker with a Pipe Bomb.

Artifact – Jasmine Bakery Safe

Long jump from the restaurant to the other building, across the street. Go through the doorway on the left and immediately turn to find a note on the cardboard boxes. It has the combination to the Jasmine Bakery Safe: 68-96-89.

Artifact – Strange Relic

After picking up the Jasmine Bakery Safe note, head into the next room and immediately look to the right for a small desk with a fan, and you can find a strange golden egg just below it, near the boarded up door.

Artifact – Plea to Seraphite Prophet

From the balcony where you found the safe combination note and strange egg, head back out onto the platform overlooking the alley and move up to find some stairs to a rooftop patio. Here you’ll find the remains of a man with a note tucked in his shirt.

Double Barrel Shotgun Location

Drop down through the floor and defeat the infected inside the shop. Behind the register, you may find the double-barrel shotgun. After looting the shop for supplies, interact with the main exit to get out of the building. Go to the safe and open it before continuing on!

When you’re ready, move forward and jump over the concrete barrier. Keep going and open the Seraphite truck ahead.

Artifact – Serpahite Prayer to Prophet – Peace

Inside the truck, on the right wall, is a peace prayer note. Exit the truck.

Artifact – Serpahite Prayer to Prophet – Prosperity

On the right side of the truck is a prosperity prayer note.

Artifact – Serpahite Prayer to Prophet – Pairing

On the right side of the truck is another pairing prayer note.

Artifact – Serpahite Prayer to Prophet – Steed

On the left side of the truck is a steed prayer.

Artifact – Serpahite Prayer to Prophet – Respect

On the left of the truck is a respect prayer.

Artifact – Prayer for Victory

On the left side of the truck, on the ground, is a victory prayer.

Artifact – WLF Soldier Meets Prophet Letter

Go into the building on the right (via the window) and pick up the note on the table.

Shortgun Holster Location

Continue through the door ahead. On the table, you’ll find a short gun holster.

Return to the area with the seraphite truck and go to the far left. Climb up to get to the platforms above. Drop down into the next grass area and crouch through the gate into the next field. Runners will be nearby but the Seraphites will likely shoot them down. Watch out for

Tips: Use the Moon milk tea shop to take down some enemies, hide, and shoot others from afar. Plus it has supplies.  So does Lucky Tiger Comics (on the left).

Keep moving forward into the decrepit building ahead. Make your way up the stairs but keep listening to make sure more Seraphites aren’t waiting upstairs. Climb through the concrete slabs and crawl under all the debris.

Artifact – Letter from Seraphite Father to Son

Now that you’re on the roof, in the open air. You’ll find yourself in an empty Seraphite camp. Pick up the note on the table, secluded in the back.

Workbench Location – Empty Seraphite Camp

In this same area, you’ll find a workbench.

Slip down the grass and dirt ahead and crouch under the metal bars.

Drop down to the next Seraphite infested building.

Tips:

  • Use stealth to take down the initial enemies.

  • Consider utilizing pipe bombs to kill enemies from above.

  • Stay on that side of the building but shoot Seraphites across the way. Occasionally they’ll come over but you can pick them off with stealth when they do.

  • Go down to the lower section and kill remaining Seraphites.

On the lower floor, run jump to the next slab of concrete. Go towards the outdoor sunlight and greenery and leap down. A cutscene will play and lead into the next section: Seattle Day 1 – Winter Visit.

 

Classic ’90s Sci-Fi Series Animorphs Is Getting A Movie

Beloved young adult book series Animorphs by K.A. Applegate is headed to the big screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scholastic will team up with producer Erik Feig for the movie.

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with Scholastic to adapt Animorphs, an iconic book series with a wildly unique combination of exciting, witty, outlandish and grounded elements that feel all too relevant for our times,” Feig explained in a statement. “We know these books have a deservedly deep bench of passionate fans and we hope to make Katherine Applegate and her co-author, Michael Grant, proud.”

The massive, 54 book series follows a group of teens given the ability to transform into animals by a race of benevolent aliens. Their powers came with a secret mission: to stop a race of parasitic extraterrestrial slugs called Yeerks. It may sound like silly YA sci-fi–and it is, to a degree–but the books gained widespread acclaim and a devoted fan base for their ability to deal with complicated, dark themes such as morality during wartime, grief, loss, and sacrifice.

The movie will not be the first live adaptation of the series. Animorphs had a two season live-action TV show on Nickelodeon which aired between 1998 and 1999. It starred a pre-X-Men Shawn Ashmore and, if we had to guess, probably won’t hold up to whatever nostalgia may be out there for it.

In addition to the film, Scholastic plans on launching a graphic novel adaptation of the Animorphs series on October 6 of this year. Production on the film does not yet have a start date.

The Last of Us 2 Walkthrough Chapter 6: Seattle Day 1 – The Aquarium

This The Last of Us 2 Walkthrough for Chapter 6: Seattle Day 1 – The Aquarium is a heartfelt flashback that has 0 collectibles. Focus on the story for this one.

The Aquarium Walkthrough

The Aquarium opens with a cutscene and you’ll need to jump into the water. Follow Owen up the stairs and lift the door together. Check out the boat. You can even slide down the railings in the stands here.

Head to the next door and head up and over to get into the next area. In the main area, you’ll find a note by the mural. It doesn’t count as an artifact though.

Max’s Place is locked but you can go upstairs and find a note held by the corpse, it’s not an artifact either. Fortunately, you can get a key to enter Max’s Place.

Return and go to open Max’s Place. Follow Owen onto the ladder in the elevator shaft. A cutscene will play and lead into the next area: Seattle Day 1 – Hostile Territory.

Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed, Spider-Man: Miles Morales Explained, & PS5 DualSense Trademark | Save State

Persia talks about the delay of Cyberpunk 2077 that was announced by the game on Twitter this morning. Cybperpunk 2077 is now set to released on November 19th, 2020. With the additional two months, CD Projekt Red will use the time to properly go through everything, balance game mechanics, and fix a lot of bugs.

Persia also goes over new details behind Spider-Man: Miles Morales that give us a better idea of how long the game will be. Insomniac said the game will be comparable to Uncharted: The Lost legacy. This means that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be shorter than the main story but longer than other spin-offs like Infamous: First Light. Even though the main story with Peter Parker isn’t over yet, this game will be all about Miles and his journey in learning to be his own Spider-Man.

Sony has just trademarked it’s new slogan for the PS5 DualSense controller. “Heighten Your Senses” likely refers to the haptic feedback feature which will provide another level of immersion through vibrations and varying tension mechanics. This feature will make things like drawing a bow feel more realistic than ever.

EA Play is this afternoon and we’ll be streaming all of the action here on GameSpot during #PlayForAll! The stream will begin at 4PM PST. Play For All is multi-week summer gaming celebration and charity event featuring special guests like Troy Baker, Danny O’Dwyer, and many familiar GameSpot faces. We’ve already raised thousands of dollars for #BlackLivesMatter and COVID-19 Relief Efforts thanks to all of you!

3 Xbox One Games Are Free To Play This Weekend

If you’re looking for something to play this weekend on Xbox One, there are three games you can check out for free as part of Xbox Free Play Days. You’ll need an active Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate subscription to take advantage of the Free Play Days offerings, but it’s worth noting the Xbox Store offers free trials every weekend. This weekend, you can play Don’t Starve Together: Console Edition, PES 2020, and MotoGP 20 through Sunday, June 21. If you want to keep playing after the free weekend ends, all three games are available to purchase at significant discounts.

Don’t Starve Together is a standalone expansion to the popular indie survival game. As the name suggests, it emphasizes multiplayer, which is perfect for a free weekend. In Don’t Starve Together, you navigate a strange world filled with challenging threats. Along the way, you gather resources to craft items and build structures to keep you safe. Don’t Starve Together holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user rating on Steam and remains one of the cooler survival games out there to play with friends. You can grab the Mega Pack, which contains both the original, the Shipwrecked expansion, and Don’t Starve Together for just $10.80.

Soccer fans can dive into PES 2020, the latest entry in Konami’s long-running franchise. It earned a 9/10 in GameSpot’s PES 2020 review for its mechanically sound on-pitch gameplay and deep game modes. While PES doesn’t have the same robust official licensing agreements as FIFA, PES 2020’s soccer gameplay helps make up for it.

MotoGP 20 is also the latest entry in its respective franchise, offering exciting motorcycle racing across a number of game modes, including a customizable career mode. MotoGP 20 leans into realism by emphasizing aerodynamics, tire wear, brake functionality, and more. If you’re into racing sims, MotoGP 20 is definitely worth trying, as it holds a “Very Positive” user rating on Steam.

TwitchCon San Diego 2020 Canceled Due To Coronavirus Concerns

Another event has been canceled amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and its associated social distancing measures. TwitchCon San Diego, which was scheduled to take place from September 25-27 at the San Diego Convention Center, is no longer happening.

“Due to restrictions on large gatherings and ongoing concerns for the health and safety of our community, the Twitch team, and the local San Diego community, we have decided to cancel TwitchCon San Diego this fall,” the event organizer wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “While we can’t gather in person, we’re exploring ways that we could join forces in an alternate dimension later this year. We’ll keep you posted.”

It’s unclear what “another dimension” means, but it seems the organizers behind TwitchCon are considering some sort of digital/virtual event for later in the year.

TwitchCon wouldn’t be the only event to have opted for an online format if that comes to fruition. Following the cancellation of E3 2020, a number of companies–from Electronic Arts to Ubisoft and more–have taken to the internet to host their respective conferences. Many of these events are still going on, such as EA Play Live, which is set to air today at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET.

Dungeons & Dragons Newest Book Revealed, And It Has Chilling Secrets

For Dungeon Masters and adventurers around the world looking for a new Dungeons & Dragons story to play, there is a new D&D adventure book headed your way this September. Titled Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, the latest story brings players back to the frozen world of Icewind Dale, adds some new mechanics, and focuses on horror.

During a press event, the latest book was revealed by Chris Perkins, game designer and editor of Dungeons & Dragons for Wizards of the Coast. “It is a horror story, set in Icewind Dale,” Perkins explained. “This story focuses more on modern horror. It’s an adventure best served cold.”

In the world of D&D, the Frostmaiden is a powerful entity, which many would call a god, and she’s long been associated with Icewind Dale. In Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, a larger story unfolds–which can be broken down into smaller parts for players who don’t want to play the whole campaign–and in addition to the main adventure, there is a new mechanic to help define your character: secrets.

Perkins explained that secrecy is one of the themes for the new adventure, and the goal for the players is to uncover Icewind Dale’s greatest secret. Additionally, during character creation, players will get their own secrets to help drive their personal stories. This is something they can choose to share with the group or keep to themselves–creating paranoia within the party. Some secrets are simple while others are terrifying.

The campaign starts players at Level 1 and it is scaled to Level 12. The story is set 100 years after the last Icewind Dale campaign. As mentioned, there is a lot of horror in this story, and Perkins mentioned that The Thing, The Shining, In the Mouth of Madness, and Alien are all the inspirations for the book. That’s a lot of horror movies revolving around paranoia.

Principal rules designer Jeremy Crawford explained that the new book is filled with new monsters. It may be the most monsters introduced in a new book so far. Also, survival will come more into play considering the landscape.

There are new rules for avalanches and blizzards, and there are new minigames as well. One that was mentioned was The Goliath Sport, which sees the gigantic mountain folk competing in a variety of games. And speaking of Goliaths, they are–once again–playable in the campaign, but there are a few tweaks. Goliaths will now have resistance to cold damage, which makes perfect sense.

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden will release on September 15 with two different covers–one of which is only available in game stores, featuring the art of Hydro74. There is also a dice set coming out which features a map of Icewind Dale, so you know where your party is located in this vast world.

Xbox Game Pass Adds A Fun New Game Today, West Of Dead

West of Dead, a western twin-stick shooter, is out today on Game Pass for Xbox One and PC. The game follows a stranger as they attempt to free Purgatory from mysterious forces so the dead may pass on. With a stylish isometric view, the run based game combines twin-stick controls with cover-based shooting mechanics.

The game is an amalgamation of every idea developer Upstream Arcade wanted to pursue. In a post on Xbox Wire Adam Langridge, co-founder and developer of Upstream Arcade said that the game was a pursuit of fitting as many ideas in as he and co-founder Imkan Kayati could.

Langridge said he wanted to make a new kind of cover shooter, but also loved twin-stick shooters and permadeath games and procedural generation. Kayati said he loved westerns and horror games. Both said they wanted to make a game with a comic book art style and explore themes of fear and light.

“A smart person would maybe have decided to focus on a few of those things and abandon the rest. We’re not that smart,” Langridge said. “We decided that this hodgepodge of ideas felt like something different and interesting and something we really really wanted to do.”

The end result of that lengthy list of ideas was West of Dead, a game that combines all of those ideas together under the guise of fighting through purgatory as a cowboy with a flaming skull, narrated by Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy).

The main gameplay revolves around cover-based twin-stick shooting, channeling old fashioned western shootouts. You move from cover to cover, planning out tactics and reloads around enemies closing in on you from all directions.

“To bridge these two flavors of action, you are kitted out with a lot of tools to use, whether diving to avoid bullets, sliding into cover, or vaulting from one side of cover to another, there is always a route to safety,” Langridge said.

The art style of West of Dead combines comic book art style with a gothic tone to create a creepy graphic novel aesthetic. West of Dead is available now on Xbox One Game Pass and Game Pass for PC and is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in August.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access Content Will Be Bigger Than Divinity: Original Sin 2’s Initial Release

Baldur’s Gate III is launching in early access in August (hopefully), and developer Larian Studios has spoken before about how it will include most of the game’s first act. This act, however, will be larger than the equivalent early access launch for Divinity: Original Sin 2, according to creative director Swen Vincke.

Speaking to GameSpot as part of Play For All, Vincke said he didn’t have an exact number to share, but that players can expect to “be busy” when it launches. “That’s early access–the actual complete game is going to be much bigger than that,” Vincke continued. You can watch the full interview below.

Vincke also explained that the first act will have a lot of what Larian Studios hopes to have locked for the game’s eventual release, but that some content that you’ll be able to play could still be cut as development continues. You’ll be restricted to a certain level cap during early access, but Vincke says the exact number is still being decided on.

After early access, Vincke says he and his team are ready to react to player feedback, making changes that make sense while introducing more mechanics and features. We’ll release more classes, we’ll release probably extra origin stories, separate regions,” Vincke continued. “You’ll see more and more features come online, more mechanics, the user-interface will be going through changes. Pretty much everything you expect from early access will be happening with this game.”

Baldur’s Gate III is hopefully launching in early access on PC in August, and is currently also scheduled to launch on Google Stadia. Console versions are not currently in development, according to Larian Studios.
