In this article, we have listed practical strategies to face the main challenges of Ellie and Abby on his journey through a shattered world. So, be you a beginner seeking to improve your performance, or someone returning to the game in punitive mode, here are the best tips for surviving chaos.
Prioritize stealth whenever possible
Getting to direct combat may seem tempting, but it's a bad idea in most situations. Enemies are aggressive, flanking and communicate with each other. Stealing allows you to eliminate silent threats, saving resources and avoiding hazardous confrontations.
Move squat, avoid running and use the environment to your advantage-high gram, obstacles and shadows are valuable allies. The ability to listen (pressing R1) helps to locate nearby enemies, but requires patience. Advance slowly and analyze the movement of the guards before acting.
In addition, sniffer dogs require special attention. They track their smell and complicate silent strategies. Whenever possible, eliminate the driver first and quickly move away from the area.
Manage resources with intelligence
Balls, medical kits, molotov cocktails - everything is scarce. Resource management is a central part of survival in The Last of Us 2. Thus, scouring every corner of the environments is essential to finding creation materials, ammunition and supplements.
Prioritize the creation of most useful items in each situation. Form arrows and pumps are versatile, silent and lethal. Healing kits must be kept for really critical moments. Molotovs work well against infected groups, while smoke bombs ensure escape at desperate moments.
Avoid waste: Mire calmly, use silent weapons and explore the potential of the traps. Each saved item can guarantee its survival in future meetings.
Master exploration to unlock upgrades
The game rewards the onlookers. Secondary areas hide improvements, special weapons and valuable supplements. Therefore, take time to investigate each building, open drawers and scan documents - often these actions reveal alternative routes or hidden stories that enrich the narrative.
Copher codes are scattered on cards, tickets and walls. Some are more obvious, others require attention to environmental details. Open these coffers yields ammunition, parts and rare items. So if you want to maximize your efficiency, keep paper and pen nearby to write down codes and clues.
The customization of weapons in the benches makes a difference. Improvements such as target stability and increased charger facilitate prolonged combat. Invest first in the weapons with which you have more affinity, and focus on upgrades that increase control.
Use the scenario as a weapon
In The Last of Us 2, the environment is not just decorative - it is part of the combat. Bottles and bricks can distract or stun enemies, while stairs, windows and spans allow fast or unexpected escapes.
Infected creatures react to the sound. It is possible to throw objects to attract groups to a trap or provoke clashes between humans and monsters. This tactic not only saves ammunition, but also reduces the number of enemies in future patrols.
Creative space combinations and equipment are the secret of survival in areas with great enemy density. A good example is to attract a group with a bottle and use a Molotov at the right time, causing massive damage.
Right skills make all the difference
The enhancement system allows you to shape the style of play to your taste. If you prefer to eliminate silently enemies, focus on the stealth tree. Who likes to improvise, should invest in improvements that increase the speed of manufacture and the use of traps.
Increasing maximum life, improving focus time when aiming and ensuring greater agility in the use of healing kits are fundamental upgrades, especially in high difficulties.
To release new skill trees, you need to find training manuals. These books are hidden in specific places and can be easily lost if the player follows only the main path.
Meet enemies before facing them
Each enemy requires a different approach. Cracks are blind, but deadly in physical contact. They use the sound to locate their victims. The runners are fast, unpredictable and attack in a pack. The covers (Serafites) communicate from a distance, coordinating ambushes.
The shambler (the infected that release acid clouds) require distance attacks. Dogs, as said before, complicate the use of stealth. Avoid open combat with multiple types of enemies at the same time, and, whenever possible, isolate the targets.
During human combat, behavior varies according to the group: wolves use heavy weaponry and siege strategies, while Serafites value the surprise attack. Learning your standards and adapting is a vital part of the journey.
Surviving is more than killing
The Last of Us 2's brutality impresses, but the game also offers moments of breathing and contemplation. Interact with the elements of the scenario, listen to the optional dialogues, read tickets and letters left behind. These details do not only help immersion - they reveal useful secrets and provide information about the surrounding world.
Surviving here is not just coming to an end, but understanding each space, using each advantage and respecting the risks. The constant tension is what makes the journey something so striking. Also, the more you know the game, the more rewarding this brutal crossing becomes.
Now prepare your inventory, say the senses, and get in this cruel world again. In The Last of Us 2, every corner keeps a threat - or a chance.
