Defeating Multiple Stalkers

Defeating Multiple Stalkers

When you follow the woman with a torch (Yara), you will be attacked by multiple Stalkers. Since Abby doesn't have any weapons, defeat them with melee attacks. Additionally, you can find bottles or bricks that are scattered around the car near the Stalkers. Throw them at the Stalkers by pressing the R2 button, which will stun them and allow you to perform a Strike.

Defeating the Tall Scar Woman

Defeating the Tall Scar Woman

When you open the metal fence, you'll have to fight a tall Scar woman. Her attacks hit hard, so dodge with L1 and then counterattack to deal damage. Defeating her allows you to get back your equipment.

Exploring the Garage

Exploring the Garage

Inside the garage, there is a workbench. In the red door room nearby, there is a Training Manual. In another room, there is an artifact on the table.

Fighting Infected at the Locked Door

Fighting Infected at the Locked Door

When you examine the locked door, a large group of infected will attack you from behind, so take them down. Clickers will also appear, so it's better to have the Shiv unlocked and equipped in case you get grabbed.

Furthermore, a Shambler will appear later in the encounter. Avoid the toxic gas and snipe it from a distance while running around inside the building. Survive and defeat as many infected as you can until Lev comes back to help you escape.
