Chapter 1 · Level 1
The Poolrooms
5 submerged industrial valves; rotate all to drain the basin.
Walkthrough
A vast tiled aquatic expanse. Water applies a 35% velocity penalty. Trace the sub-surface piping to locate five scattered industrial valves; rotating each triggers an auditory fluid-draining cue. When the basin drains, the exit grate is exposed but the Starfish's patrol radius and aggression parameters increase proportionally.
Tips
- Always engage Starfish on dry terrain - its pathfinding fails on 90-degree corners.
- Listen for the valve's metallic groan to confirm a successful rotation.
Nightmare note. Stamina discipline is mandatory. Every sprint must be justified; every flashlight toggle is a tactical decision.
