The Evil Within 2 Gameplay - Chapter 5 Lying in Wait
3The Evil Within 2 - Chapter 5 Lying in Wait
As you approach City Hall, you'll find a Mobius operative with a knife in their skull. Pull the knife and retrieve the photo of Sebastian it was holding in place. As soon as you do this a brief cutscene will play and you'll be faced with the Guardian, the same monster you ran from in the game's opening moments.
To kill the Guardian, you'll want to use the environment to your advantage. There are tripwires set up all over the area that will create pockets of slowed time, like what the murderer's previous victims have been found trapped inside. Trick the Guardian into running into these by running toward them then quickly crawling underneath before you hit them.
With the Guardian traped in them, take the opportunity to unload on her. There's also an overturned truck leaking fuel onto the ground, if you can get the Guardian to step in the fuel, shoot it to ignite it and deal serious damage. Don't bother using a handgun, opt instead for a shotgun or explosive crossbow bolts to finish the job.
Once the Guardian is dead, head inside City Hall where you'll find a grievously injured Mobius operative named Harrison. Harrison will inform you that you need to turn on the Stable Field Emitter to weaken the murderer. Harrison will give you his communicator just before succumbing to his injuries.
Go through the door behind the front desk to find another Mobius operative suspended in mid-air. There's nothing in this room of note. Continue making your way through City Hall until you find a staircase leading to the second floor.
The first room you enter on the second floor contains a mannequin in a blue dress turned away from a camera and lighting rig next to a table with a vase sitting on it. Walk over to the mannequin and interact with it. Rotate it to face the camera.
To the left of the mannequin on a table is an Emerald Necklace. Grab the necklace, then place it on the mannequin. Next, turn to the left and look at the large example picture on the wall featuring a woman wearing the same dress as the mannequin.
Take the roses from the vase to the right of the picture and put them in the vase next to mannequin, then operate the camera. Set the focus to the middle and snap the photo to reveal a hallway behind the mannequin.
Walk to the end of the hallway. As you do pictures will illuminate. Stop and investigate each one. Make sure to also grab the newspaper clipping from the table on the right. Once you've seen them all, you'll hear a camera shutter click and the end of the hallway will now have a photo of Lily hanging in it.
Viewing the photo will cause a door to star violently opening and shutting as though something on the other side were trying to get through. Approach the door and go through it to find yourself in a hallway.
The murderer will talk briefly, then a door will appear for you to go through. In the next room you'll find a photo of a murdered Mobius operative on the desk. Take it and go back out the way you came to find the hallway has changed again. Around the corner to the right you'll see the murderer trying to photograph you. Approach him to have the door slam in your face.
Turn around again and you'll see a light at the end of the hallway. As you approach the light you'll find a stairway descending to a door. Open the door to find the props from your earlier photo with the mannequin laying on the ground. As you approach the vase on the chair, it will be replaced by a corpse's head.
The lights will go out and the room will now be filled with what appears to be petrified enemies. These enemies will not attack or drop any items. Ignore them and find the door to exit the room. Continue on until you find yourself back in the room with the mannequin.
Head through the open doors to find the Stable Field Emitter in the middle or a room. Approach the emitter and put Harrison's communicator in it to activate it. After a brief cutscene, a battle with the next boss, Obscura, begins.
Obscura, unlike the Guardian at the beginning of this chapter, cannot be killed. Like Stefano, Obscura's camera can freeze time. The Stable Field Emitter needs 90 seconds to activate. The countdown will continue where it left off, so there's no need to worry about keeping Obscura from using her camera.
Once Obscura freezes time, shoot her enough to stun her, which will her release her hold on the emitter. Once she's stunned, do all you can to stay away. Repeat this until the countdown is complete. Be careful, as when you get halfway through the countdown, Obscura will crawl along the roof in an attempt to hide from you while still attacking.
With the Stable Field Emitter online, City Hall is returned to its normal state. Make your way out to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, Sebastian will contact O'Neal, marking the end of this Chapter.
Congratulations! You've cleared Chapter 5. Keep reading to find your way through Chapter 6, On the Hunt!
