Collect the Vial
There is a thin mechanism protruding from the ground near the head of the furthest entity, andScornplayersshouldextract the vialfrom it. Fans should then descend the ramp that they used to reach the mechanism with the vial and continue forward to a small room with a machine on the wall. The vial that fans are carrying can be inserted into this machine to lower a gate and gain access to a room that will be henceforth referred to as the “boss room.”
Move the First Pod and Fill the Vial
There is asmall alcoveon the right side of the boss room, and there is a pedestal that holdstwo pink podsat its center. Players should pick up one of those pods and insert it into theseated entitythat is on the other side of the boss room. Fans ofpuzzle gamesshould then hit the inserted pod twice to expel the entity, which should be picked up and taken to themachine with the vial. Once the vial has been filled, players should return it to entity with the bulbous belly and insert it into the mechanism it was extracted from initially.
Move the Second Pod
With the first entity activated, players shouldtake the vial back to the machinewhere they just filled it and reenter the boss room. Fans should then grab thesecond podfrom the alcove, though they may want to use the machines on the surrounding walls to refill their healing capabilities and ammunition first. When all of this has been done, players can insert the pod into the newly seated figure to initiate aboss fight.
Boss Fight #1
This boss fight unfolds over two phases, and the first one begins with the boss launching projectiles at the player. Fans should simply keep a bit of distance andstrafeto avoid these projectiles. Ultimately, the boss will go to reload, at which point players should hit one of thepink sackson its sides. This process should be repeated until both pink sacks have been destroyed, and fans ofXbox console exclusivesshould interact with the boss’sweaponized armwhen it collapses.
This action will trigger the second phase of the fight, which sees the boss launching projectiles once again. Players should employ the same strategy that was used before tododgethese projectiles, waiting for the boss to stop firing them in rapid succession. When that occurs, fans ofbody horrorshouldget closeto the boss to cause it to do a lunge attack, and they should fire at thepink pod in its stomachduring the animation. Hitting the pod in this way a couple of times will cause the entity inside the pod to be expelled, and players should then interact with the boss’s weaponized arm and carry the entity to the machine with the vial.
Move the Third Pod
Fans should now return to the boss room and stand on thepressure platethat is near the alcove where they collected the first two pods. This will cause the wall in front of the pressure plate to open, and fans should fire their newweapon inScorninto the opening to destroy a mechanism and retract the gate on their left. There is athird pink podin the alcove past that opened gate, which should be taken to the newly seated entity on the other side of the boss room to start another boss fight.
Boss Fight #2
This boss fight is much quicker than the first one, and players should begin by strafing out of the way of thisScorncreature’s projectiles. This should be done until the boss stops to reload, at which point players should shoot anexplosive into its backpack. Indeed, one explosive is all it takes to bring down this boss, and fans should carry the expelled entity back to the machine with the vial.
Descend the Stairs
At this point, players will have a fully-filled vial, but they will not be able to use it to activate the second entity with a bulbous belly just yet. Instead, fans must pass through the room with that entity andreturn to the stairwellthat they descended upon entering the structure at the beginning of the Act. Players should now use the stairs togo down one more level, stand on thepressure platethat they encounter at the bottom, and shoot into the opening that appears to destroy a mechanism and open a gate on the left.
Improve the Key
After passing through the opened gate, players will find themselves in aroom with a circular platformin its center, and they should use thedoor on the rightside. Soon, fans will find a health machine hanging on the wall to their right, and there is a machine across from it that will temporarily remove the growth from theScornprotagonist’s arm. Fans should interact with that machine, quickly use their key on thenearby gate, and then check the body on the right side to refill explosives.
There is apressure platejust beyond the gate that players should now stand upon.Scornfansshould then wait for a gap to appear in the suspended pods and shoot into the opening ahead to destroy a mechanism and retract the gate in front of them. Players must then return to the machine that they used to remove the growth and run beyond the lowered gate to improve their key.
Remove the Growth
Fans should now return to the machine that removes the growth once again, quickly run to the room with thecircular platformin the center, and then use their newly-improved key to open thedoor on the right side. Players should then turn around and run across the bridge that passes over the circular platform to reach the room where they stood upon the initial pressure plate. There is another growth-removing machine on the right side of the room, which fans should use before running to the room that they just opened with their key and interacting with themachine in the corner.
Players will now have the opportunity toremove the growthmore permanently by positioning the machine’s claw near their neck. With the growth extracted,H.R. Gigerfans should exit the machine, return to the room with the circular platform, and go through the door on their right. There is a terminal in the room past that door, which players can interact with to lower the gate that is in front of them.
Use the Vial
After moving past the lowered gate, players should turn to their left and climb a ramp torenter the structure. Fans should then return to the entity with the bulbous belly and finally insert the vial that they have filled. This will action will turn the platform that the player is standing on into an elevator, and they should interact with the statue at the top to move onto the finalScornpuzzle.
Beat the Game
Fans will now find themselves in control of two new bodies, and they should use one to interact with the statue andrecover their old body. Players should then switch to the second new body, climb the small flight of stairs across from the statue, and use the machine on the right wall to befitted with an arm key. This key can be used on the nearby terminal to move a portion of the elaborate and colorfuldoor inScorn.
With this new body in place, fans should switch back to the new body that is holding the old body and carry it to apressure platethat is just beyond the aforementioned terminal. Standing on this pressure plate for a moment will cause the door to be fully opened, and players should walk through and continue down the corridor tobeatScorn.
