Last update: 11 May 2016

Just as before, I've added two maps to show you locations of all nineteen roots of evil. I've also described how to destroy them.

1 - Episode 8 Optional: Roots of evil - Part 2(1) - Episode 8 - Alone in the Dark - Game Guide and Walkthrough

SECTOR 1

Maximum reward: 3 points

Destroying this root isn't going to be too difficult, however you should know that you'll be attacked by some winged creatures. You don't have to fight them, because more monsters would appear in the area. Focus on destroying the root quickly (screen). Notice that it won't catch on fire. Instead, the root will hide inside the pillar. Once you're done, leave this area quickly to avoid unwanted injuries.

SECTOR 2

Maximum reward: 3 points

Thankfully, you shouldn't encounter any problems here. Destroying this root is going to be extremely easy. Obviously you should consider throwing a bottle from a larger distance. Once this is done, retreat quickly. This is important, because there are some monsters in the area and it would be wise to avoid them.

SECTOR 3

Maximum reward: 10 points

Despite what you might think, you won't have to jump over to a small island where the root is located. Instead, approach your target from the north-east. You should have a nice view of the root from here (screen). Choose an explosive bottle from your inventory and throw it at the root. Blow up the bottle once it's close enough to its target and the root should automatically catch on fire.

SECTOR 4

Maximum reward: 2 points

You can only gain two points here, however it's very easy to dispose of this root. You'll be dealing with a very small plant (screen), so you won't even have to use explosive bottles. Spray will do the trick, as long as you have one in your inventory.

SECTOR 5

Maximum reward: 3 points

Destroying this plant is going to be EXTREMELY challenging, mostly because it's in the isolated island and you'll have to get there in the first place. This means you'll have to steal a car. Notice that you'll be allowed to make a jump here (screen). I would recommend taking a police vehicle. Thankfully, you will find a lot of cars in the area.

Start moving towards the jump area. The most important thing for you to know about is that you'll have to be travelling at a correct speed. You can't move too fast, because you would crash and you can't drive too slow, because you wouldn't be able to reach your destination during the jump. You'll probably have to repeat this jump a few times before figuring out how this works.

Once you've landed safely, exit your vehicle and use an explosive bottle to get rid of this root (screen) - Episode 8 Optional: Roots of evil - Part 2(1) - Episode 8 - Alone in the Dark - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you've landed safely, exit your vehicle and use an explosive bottle to get rid of this root (screen). I wouldn't recommend trying to jump down, because there's a risk of sustaining injuries. Instead, try saving your progress and then reload to the last checkpoint.

SECTOR 6

Maximum reward: 3 points

This root is going to be guarded by a well-known creature. Don't forget that this monster is capable of attacking you from a distance. You could try defeating it, however I would recommend focusing only on destroying the plant. Leave this area once it's done.
