Not long after starting Still Wakes the Deep, players will find that they must escape through the water tanks area. While this section of the game is not extremely difficult to complete, fans may get stuck at several points. For those players who are struggling to escape through the water tanks in Still Wakes the Deep, this guide is here to help.
This walkthrough picks up immediately following a conversation with Finlay that centers around reaching Accommodations and Gibbo's current state.
Still Wakes the Deep: How Long to Beat
Still Wakes the Deep is a survival horror game with a fairly short run time, even if you decide to 100% complete it.
Still Wakes the Deep: Escape Through the Water Tanks
After speaking with Finlay, players should descend the nearby stairs and follow the path between the green water tanks. This path leads to a ladder that fans of psychological horror games should climb.
At the top of the ladder, players should situate themselves so that they are near to the door with the exit sign. Fans should then drop to that door and pass through it.
Players will now find themselves in a room with a pipe emitting steam, and they should use the nearby valve to stop that hazard. Fans should then descend the ladder that is now accessible, interact with the valve at the bottom, and climb the ladder that is adjacent to that valve. There is yet another valve at the top of that ladder, and players should interact with it.
This sequence is a good opportunity to make some progress toward earning Still Wakes the Deep 's Finlay Destination achievement .
Players should now backtrack to the location of the first valve and continue following the path that was previously blocked by steam, ducking under debris when necessary. This path will ultimately lead fans of story-rich horror games to a room with an exit door, and they should interact with the lever that is across from that door to lower a ladder.
At the top of the ladder, players should make their way to the yellow bars on the right wall and use them to continue their ascent. Fans must then slide across a very narrow ledge to reach a door through which they should pass.
Players should now follow the path to the right and descend the small flight of stairs on the left. Fans of walking simulators should then squish through the gap in the machinery and look left at the end. Players should now be looking at an "Area Management & Construction Only" sign, and they should enter the corridor that it marks.
As players work through this corridor, they will encounter a yellow pipe that they should vault. Fans should go left after that pipe and squeeze through the gap on the right.
Players will now duck to pass under a series of green pipes. After performing that action, fans of sci-fi horror games should go right, use the narrow metal scaffolding to ascend, and drop back into the water.
Players must now simply follow the path that is marked with yellow pipes, ducking when it is necessary. Fans will encounter a small staircase at the end of that path, and they should go left at the top to reach a ladder. Players should climb that ladder, open the hatch that is at the top, and descend.
Players should now progress through the area to reach a ladder that has a body hanging from it. Fans should interact with the body and then climb the ladder.
At the top of the ladder, players should descend the stairs, follow the path to the right, and cross the gap. There is a large metal staircase across that gap, and it will lead fans to a door that will take them out of the water tanks area and into Still Wakes the Deep's Accommodations.
