Scorn's fourth act is one of the most difficult parts of the game, featuring a fairly complex layout, a variety of hostile enemies, and a puzzle that must be solved. Indeed, there are many opportunities for players to get stuck while trying to complete Act 4 of Scorn, which may lead to some frustration. This guide is here to attempt to alleviate that frustration by providing a complete walkthrough of this section of the game.
To note, it is recommended that players attempt to avoid as much combat as possible in Act 4. This can be done by taking a methodical approach around enemies, watching their pathing and running past them when it is safe to do so. That said, players will pick up one of the most powerful weapons in Scorn during this Act, and it makes dealing with difficult enemies quite a bit easier.
Scorn: Act 4 Walkthrough
Open the First Hole and Raise the First Terminal
Upon starting Act 4, Scorn players should take a right at the fork and follow the path to reach a flight of stairs. There is a terminal at the top of these stairs, and fans should interact with it in order to open a hole in giant creature's stomach. Players should then descend the stairs that they just climbed, take a right at the bottom, and climb another flight of stairs to enter the creature. Fans will encounter the first maze terminal in this position, and it can be raised through interaction.
Open the Second Hole
With the first terminal raised, players should turn to the right and exit the creature via a ramp. Fans of horror video games should now continue following the path that is ahead of them, ascending a staircase when they reach it. There is a fork at the end of these stairs, and players should go left to encounter a terminal, which is on the right, that opens up a second hole in the creature.
Raise the Second Terminal
To reach this second hole, players should backtrack to the fork and take a left to move down a small ramp. Fans should then continue forward and descend yet another ramp to reach the area where the maze terminal that was previously raised is now situated. There is a corridor behind this terminal, and fans of body horror should follow it to reach a small room that houses a rack that holds a powerful weapon.
After collecting this weapon, players should exit the room, take a left, and ride the lift at the end of the corridor. When the lift comes to a halt, fans should turn around and follow the corridor on the right to reach an oblong room with a Scorn door that can only be opened with a key upgrade. There is a track that moves out of this room to the right, which players should follow to collect the requisite the key upgrade.
Scorn fans should now return to the aforementioned door that requires the key upgrade, pass through it, and continue down the corridor. Players should use the ramp on the left at the end of this corridor, take another left at the bottom, and then turn right. There is now yet another corridor to be traversed, and fans should descend the ramp at the end, take a left at the bottom, and then take another left to reach a gate that can be moved with the key upgrade.
Just past this gate, players will see a ramp on their right. This ramp leads into the second hole, and fans should raise the second maze terminal once they are inside.
Open the Third Hole
Players should now backtrack out of the hole via the ramp that they just descended and pass back through the gate that they just opened. Fans should then take a left and use the ramps that they encounter to get back into the area with the maze terminals, of which there will now be two. Players should then use the corridor behind the maze terminals once again, this time taking a left just before the room where the weapon was held previously.
After traveling for a short distance in this direction, fans will encounter a gate that they can open with their key, and they should continue forward and ride a lift. Players should go straight when this lift comes to a halt and ride yet another lift. At the top of this one, fans should turn around and walk forward to find a terminal on the right, which will open the third and final hole in the Scorn creature.
Raise the Third Terminal
Players should now backtrack and ride the lift that they just used back down one level. There will be a ramp on the right just a short distance ahead, and indeed it leads into the third hole. Now all that is left to do is to interact with the third maze terminal and get ready to solve one of Scorn's puzzles.
Solve the Maze Puzzle
Players should now exit the creature, turn right, and take the lift down one more level. Puzzle game fans should then continue forward and take their first right to reach the maze terminal area. They should then interact with the terminal in front of the mazes and follow these instructions to solve the maze puzzle:
- Move the white dot as follows: up one, right one, down two, left one, down two, right two, up one. It should now be directly below the orange dot.
- Rotate the terminals.
- Move the white dot as follows: down one, right two, down one.
- Rotate the terminals.
- Move the white dot as follows: right one, up two.
- Rotate the terminals.
- Move the white dot as follows: up one.
- Rotate the terminals twice.
- Move the white dot as follows: up one, left two.
- Rotate the terminals twice.
- Move the white dot as follows: left one, down one.
Finish the Act
With the puzzle solved, players should climb the ramp to exit the maze terminal area. Fans should then simply follow the corridor to a tram that will carry them to Scorn's Act 5.
