Report the imminent attack on D6 | Chapter 28: The Garden Metro: LL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Wait until you regain control over Artyom and go straight ahead. This chapter is quite linear, but it is always a good idea to be on the lookout for corpses with more, or less useful supplies on them. In the initial part of the march, you can jump down into a lower level in search for more corpses.

After you reach the swamps, try and keep to the narrow, hardened path as, just like in the previous chapters, falling into water will result in Artyom's drowning and taking considerable damage as a result. On your way, you should encounter a shrimp and, to defeat the monster, it is good to use a reliable short-range weapon.

A bit further, you will encounter a group of mutants but, so far, you should have already learned how to deal with them. To your right there is a demon and you can well approach the beast. Although the creature goes airborne, it will start not attacking you but, thanks to scaring it away, you will gain access to another corpse and a supply crate.

Keep moving. I recommend against examining the corpse in the small hollowing underneath the rocks, or you will be hit by the projecting boughs and take damage as a result (the boughs can be destroyed, but this involves wasting a part of your supplies).

As you proceed, be prepared to eliminate further mutants. While fighting the largest wave, you'd better not use up all of your mines and grenades, because they will be needed later in the chapter. First of all, attack the mutants at a distance, and then fight them at medium and short range. At the same time, do not let them jump at Artyom too often or surround him.

Take a look around for any corpses that can be looted for supplies and take the path to the right. After you reach a narrow tunnel, allow Artyom to creep into it automatically. While doing that, you will notice a female bear that you will soon meet.

Wait for your character to stand up and approach the corpse to the left, shown in the above screenshot, to find standard supplies and an Artyom's diary page. Only then go towards the nearby elevation. Jump down to the "arena, where there you will have to fight the mutated bear that you saw earlier.

The beginning of the battle is very linear. Regardless of what you do, the bear will wrestle you down. As a result, start pressing the indicated key rhythmically in an attempt to prevent Artyom from being eaten alive.

After the battle proper starts, start using your shotgun or a good assault rifle, while trying to shoot the bear on the head.

Try to remain in motion throughout the entire battle, and avoid fighting at close quarters. At the same time, pay attention to the arena's ground as, some of its fragments are slowing Artyom down. While moving around the arena, it is good put a Claymore mine here and there to deal more damage to the bear when it triggers them.

Dealing enough damage to the bear will result in the monster's being stunned temporarily, after which it falls to the ground. Notice that there are smaller mutants that appear at the arena. Attack the ones that jumped onto the bear, keep eliminating them, while ignoring the Dark One's hints concerning the bear's weak points.

After the boss regains its strengths, repeat your actions. Keep shooting and do not stop, while aiming at the beast's head. The additional impediment is that the smaller mutants may also start getting at you, but try not to focus all your attention on them. This way you will avoid being caught off guard by the bear.

The next phase of the battle is very similar to the previous one. Each time the bear goes down, approach it as quickly as you can, and keep firing at the small creatures that jump onto it. Do not forget to monitor Artyom's health on a regular basis, which will prevent him from dying.

Continue performing the abovementioned actions and the bear will soon flee from the battlefield (the above screenshot). Note - if you notice that you are running out of ammo, take a quick look around the battlefield for corpses with additional supplies on them (there is even a shotgun on one of the corpses). It is a good idea to examine the corpses even after the bear flees, especially that your gas mask is probably damaged.

Follow the path cleared for you by the bear to reach the severely wounded beast. If you want to unlock an achievement, get rid of all the smaller monsters without killing the bear in the process (it has to get up finally and walk away). Otherwise, allow the bear to be mutilated and leave this location.

Move on and find, on your way, a backpack with supplies, among others. After you reach the stairs, start climbing but, before you join up with your allies, turn left and collect the Artyom's diary page from the low wall (the above screenshot).

Only then, approach your allies. Wait for the door to shut and remove your gas mask, which will conclude this level.
