This The Last of Us 2 Walkthrough for Chapter 7: Seattle Day 2 – Ground Zero includes tips for fighting a new enemy. Plus all collectible locations which include 5 Artifacts, 2 coins, and 1 workbench.
Ground Zero Walkthrough
Follow Nora.
Coin – Washington
But before you walk down the long hallway with her go behind the counter of the hospital cafe. Pick up the coin under the register.
Nora will leave you at Oncology.
Find a Way to Intensive Care
Artifact – Annex Letter
Move to the hallway, crawl under the office furniture blocking the doorway. There’s a body laying on the ground in front of the sink, next to it is a note.
When you’re ready, continue down the stairs. The Intensive Care Unit is locked. Drop down to the area below.
Artifact – Chapel Note
Go through the open doorway, into a Chapel filled with cots. Pick up the note on the altar.
Artifact – Soldier’s Letter
Exit the Chapel and walk to the opposite side. Near the turnstile on the right is a bag on the ground. Open it for an artifact.
Continue to the yellow door ahead.
Artifact – Patient’s Note
Break the window, crouch down and head into the patient room.
Squeeze through the doors. Watch out for Stalkers growing in the wall (look for their jeans).
Artifact – Doctor’s Note
Break another window ahead to dip into another patient room.
Stand on the counter and crawl through the window above. Be sure to loot all these rooms (as usual!).
Workbench Location – Back Room
Move to the back room and you’ll find a workbench. It’s in the same room as the generator.
Turn the Power Back On
The doors are all electronically operated. Follow the wires to the generator. Before turning it on make sure you’re stocked up on items and ammo.
Exit through the door you can now operate. You’ll still need to squeeze through and when you reach the hallway you won’t be alone. Watch out for Clickers wandering around. Use the exam rooms to hide, gain distance, etc.
Tips:
-
Take down the 2 Clickers in the hall
-
Enter each room, taking down each infected that appears.
-
Loot the rooms for supplies (including supplements)
Head through the electrically controlled doors. Look for the streak of blood on the ground. Always a good sign; follow it! Craft all the items you can and make sure your guns are loaded for what’s ahead. Make sure you have the max number of health packs and have used your supplements recently.
Finally, approach the ambulance and open it. Get inside and open the drawer to finally find the supplies you need.
Hospital Infected Boss Guide (Rat King)
Kick in the window and run for your life, be ready to jump over gurneys and spam buttons to pry open doors. Stay sharp because while most of the time you can run straight, there will be a locked door at the end. Turn around and run ahead, turn right, and pull the axe out of the door to continue ahead.
The Rat King will run at you directly and also let off a burst of dangerous gas due to its Bloater half. Don’t let it catch you and never get too close.
Tips
-
Recommended Weapons: Flamethrower, Pipe Bombs, Shotgun, automatic rifle. But towards the end, anything with bullets will do.
-
Run constantly: weaving around poles, slipping through crevices, running around debris and overgrown piles/clumps, and jumping through windows. Get a few shots in, flee, and continue. There is always a way around, even if it’s too dark to clearly see it right away.
-
Pick up items as you’re running around (from ammo to supplies).
-
Remember you can heal while moving.
- If the infected boss touches you, it’s an instant death!
About halfway through the encounter Stalkers will break off from the Rat King’s body. Kill them before they kill you.
Squeeze through the exit ahead and climb up the cabinet to the vent. Crawl through. Kill the Stalker that appeared out of nowhere. Loot the entire room you dropped into. Open up the garage door.
Coin – Hawaii
In this flooded garage, approach, the security booth and break the glass. Grab the coin.
Exit and go over the truck. This will lead into a cutscene that brings you to Seattle Day 2 – Return to the Aquarium.
