The Last of Us: Hotel Lobby, Pittsburgh Walkthrough, map The Last of Us Guide, Walkthrough

Last update: 22 June 2020

This page of The Last of Us game guide contains a walkthrough of the Hotel Lobby stage as part of the Pittsburgh chapter. This is a long level, during which Joel and Ellie will stumble upon both bandits and infected. Some of those battles are mandatory and one of them will include an encounter with a bloater. Two battles of this stage were enriched with maps with positions of the enemies and their marching routes.

Once you get out of the building, grab onto the ladder leaning against the pillar to the right and lean it against the wall pointed by Ellie. You will be able to climb up.

Then, go right and walk, slowly around the hole in the ground.

At the other side, there is a suitcase with a slip of paper inside, with a safe combination on it.

The safe is located downstairs in a small room, behind the counter.

Once you have collected all the useful items, climb up and go left.

This way you will reach a buildings wing full of enemies. First, get rid of the two to the left.

As soon as they split up, approach them from behind and strangle them. In a similar way, you can deal with re remaining ones, and there is quite a few of them. Fortunately, they always walk alone and it is a rather rare occurrence that someone discovers a corpse. There are even more enemies upstairs, which you can reach over the narrow stairs.

Fight #13

When you are upstairs, keep going to the left. This way, you will reach another staircase.

Upstairs there is an inactive elevator shaft, which you can access by pressing the triangle.

After you enter, squeeze through the slit to the right and help Ellie up to the exit.

A moment later, you will drop to the very bottom of the building, in a flooded part of the hotel.

Go straight to the exit to reach a staircase.

You will be able to dive then and swim a bit further.

Once you resurface, you will be very close to the barricade that blocks off the tunnel.

Return then to the water and keep swimming underwater, through the door marked as the EXIT.

This way, you will reach the part of the hotel full of spores.

First, explore the area to the left and then keep to the right, until you see a red generator.

Before you start it, deploy bombs in two entrances into this room and prepare to or three Molotov's cocktails. As soon as the engine starts working, you will be attacked by a group of zombies accompanied by a bloater. The weaker enemies can be eliminated with your shotgun, as soon as they come close. Deal with the bloater with your Molotovs reinforced with regular ammo. First of all, you cannot let the beast come close. The bombs that you deployed earlier should be helpful in this respect.

Once the last monster dies, climb the pile of debris to the top. Keep going left and you should reach a locked door that requires a special card to open.

The pass can be found in the security room on the same floor.

After you walk through the door, climb even higher and search through the nearby rooms. You can find useful items there.

A bit further, there is another fight with bandits waiting for you. Take cover and wait for the men to disperse. Then, attack the closest one.

After the thug dies, his companion will come over to check out on him. Be prepared for that and strangle the enemy as soon as he turns away.

Eliminate the two enemies a bit further, in the same fashion. While sneaking, you should watch out for the pots on the floor at all times. If you touch to any of them, the enemies will be alarmed.

As soon as all of the enemies drop dead, you will have to find a ladder. It is in the left corner of this location.

Pick it up by pressing the triangle and lean it against the wall under the rift above.

As soon as you climb the ladder, you will be attacked by the last one of the bandits. To liberate yourself from his grip, keep tapping the square quickly.

After you are saved by Ellie, climb the ladder again and go left.

To the left, there is a hole in the floor, which you should slip by.

This way you will reach a bar where there are a few useful items.

Once you collect everything, return to the corridor and go left. A few steps further, you will reach a broken staircase.

Jump down and run ahead. Search through the rooms you pass by.

At the end, there is a ballroom with a grand piano in it.

You need to move the instrument over to the nearest wall and climb over it.

Go ahead. After you walk outside, you will have to jump down to the scaffolding, which will start a longer cutscene.
