Episode 7 Optional: Roots of evil - Part 1(3) | Episode 7 Alone in the Dark Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

SECTOR 9

Maximum reward: 3 points

This root of evil is by far the most difficult one to destroy, at least in my personal opinion. I wouldn't recommend trying to destroy it unless you plan on securing the entire park. Otherwise focus on destroying other roots. The entrance to this building is being guarded by a few monsters and you'll have to defeat them before moving on. Once this is done, use an explosive bottle to blow up the main door (screen).

Enter the building and take some time to look around. Inspect the lockers. Collect at least one explosive bottle, however you will have to leave one free slot in your inventory. Head on to a small ladder (screen) and use it to get to a lower level of the complex.

You'll have to be extremely careful from now on, because the lower level is being "guarded" by the black mass and you'll have figure out a way to avoid it. Notice a lot flares in this room. Pick up at least one flare and choose this object from your inventory.

Light the flare and approach the large hole carefully. Your task here will be to drop the flare, however you must make sure that it'll land somewhere near the ladder (screen). It's important, because only then you'll be allowed to get down there without risking your life.

Now you've got two choices - you can drop several other flares just to make sure that you'll be safe or you can start using the flashlight to scare off the black mass (screen). Either way, you will have to get to a new room safely. You'll notice a large plant on the left wall. Sadly, destroying it is going to be tricky.

You must make some preparations if you want to destroy this root. Make sure that you have an explosive bottle in your inventory, as well as a duct tape. Use these items to create a sticky Molotov cocktail. Light the cocktail on fire and throw it at a large metal pipe (screen). The cocktail must attach itself to this object.

Go to your right quickly. You will have to use a large control panel here (screen). Notice that the metal pipe has begun moving. Wait for the pipe (the one with the Molotov cocktail attached to it) to get closer to the root and press the red button once again to stop it. Now you'll only have to wait for the explosion to occur. Going back to the surface might be a little tricky. I would recommend that you use as many flares as possible to secure the entire corridor with the black mass. You will also have to watch out for new monsters on the surface, however you can't try outrunning them.

SECTOR 10

Maximum reward: 3 points

You can reach this location only from the eastern side, so you'll have to travel a long way. Watch out for a very tricky section along the way, because it's very easy to make a mistake there. Stop the car near the root. Find a trashcan and pick up a few items (screen). Use an explosive bottle and a duct tape to create a sticky Molotov cocktail.

Turn towards the root and choose the cocktail from your inventory. Wait for one of the smaller creatures to get closer to you. Light the cocktail on fire and throw it at the bug (screen). Thankfully, you won't have to wait for a right occasion.

Now you must choose the pistol quickly. Observe the creature with the cocktail and wait for it to get closer to the root. Obviously that is when you'll have to use your gun (screen). The explosion should result in the destruction of the root.

SECTOR 11

Maximum reward: 3 points

It might seem at first glance that it's going to be extremely difficult to destroy this plant. Thankfully, the solution to this problem is very simple. Find a car and start moving towards the plant from the west. You'll be allowed to perform a jump here (screen). Make sure to maintain maximum speed. Your car should land on a new platform, catapulting a burning wreck towards the plant. Mission accomplished.

SECTOR 12

Maximum reward: 10 (!!!) points

I would recommend securing this sector in the first place, because you can earn A LOT of points here and you won't have to prepare for anything extraordinary. All you have to do here is to use an explosive bottle to destroy a very large root (screen). Watch out for a few monsters at the same time, however it shouldn't be difficult to dodge their attacks. You could try fighting with them, but it won't be necessary.
