Chapter 8: A Planted Seed Will Grow

You're in a large cave now and several two-headed creatures can already be spotted in the distance. Kill them with your handgun; try to shoot their heads. When one of the heads pops, the creature will drop so you can burn the body. There are several crates and barrels here that you can smash for items. There's also [3 HANDGUN AMMO] on the right side of the cave, just before the barricaded part. There's a fourth enemy that will come alive as you approach the barricaded hall. Another great way to defeat them is to use an explosive bolt when several of them are close to each other (aim at the ground).

There are two more enemies in the next room, where you can also find [2 SHOTGUN SHELLS]. Turn the wheel and smash the small statue on top of the wheel for an [ORDINARY KEY]. Head through the open gate and move through the cave until you reach a bridge. [C] Spikes are shot from the wall, but it's not too hard to avoid them as they come in waves, and there are several rocks and places to hide behind. Be sure to smash the crate/barrel and collect the [PARTS]. Continue and move through the small opening at the end of the tunnel. [C]

Search the left side of the room to find the [AUDIO TAPE - CASE STUDY: ALTEREGO] and inspect the right side for [7 HANDGUN AMMO] and a [FLASH BOLT] sticking from the wall. Several small baby creatures will crawl out of the wall. They do attack you (minor damage), but you can kill them by running over them, so do exactly that until they're all pulp. Open the gate to continue.

Wade through the water and turn left at the intersection. Smash the wooden planks to reveal [3 HANDGUN AMMO] and [500 GREEN GEL]. Continue down the main path and inspect the third (small) waterfall on your right side, which reveals a small statue; smash it for another [ORDINARY KEY]. Hop over the wooden fence and sprint a few circles in this room to kill the baby creatures. The next room up ahead is home to more of these baby critters, along with one regular two- headed creature. Continue upstairs. [C]

In this room, smash the crates and barrels on both sides of the area for [RANDOM ITEMS], then proceed straight ahead and search the ground for the [CAVE NOTE]. Inspect the corpse and grab the [BLOODY RELIEF PLATE]. With simple logic you already know which side to place into the door (namely the side without blood on it, since the stained side clearly didn't work for the lady).

Move through the hall(s) to trigger a scene. In the circular room, look around for the [RESEARCH FACILITY NOTE] and the [JOURNAL ENTRY - JUNE 2009]. Now head down the hall and sprint to the end while being chased; be sure not to get stuck behind doors, so stay in the middle. The chapter ends afterwards.
