Gameplay Part 2

From mastermind Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within 2 is the latest evolution of survival horror. Detective Sebastian Castellanos has lost it all. But when given a chance to save his daughter, he must descend once more into the nightmarish world of STEM. Horrifying threats emerge from every corner as the world twists and warps around him. Will Sebastian face adversity head on with weapons and traps, or sneak through the shadows to survive. For his one chance at redemption, the only way out is in.

In this playthrough we cover:

Chapter 4 - Behind the Curtain:

After learning from O’Neal that City Hall is suspended upside down over Union, Sebastian must travel through The Marrow—a secret Mobius transit network connecting different parts of the STEM world. Returning to the northern safe house, he uses a previously locked terminal to access The Marrow: Operations, an eerie maze of laboratories and tunnels filled with corpses and corrupted data. While scavenging supplies and Mobius files such as Report #00122 and Email – Union Growth, Sebastian battles hordes of Lost and solves waveform puzzles to unlock deeper sections of the facility. Donning a gas mask to survive a toxic leak, he sneaks through a first-person stealth segment against a deadly acid-spitting creature before restoring power and escaping to the surface. Emerging back into Union, Sebastian sees City Hall looming in the distance—and the mysterious man holding Lily, confirming his pursuit has only just begun.

Chapter 5 - Lying in Wait:

Sebastian approaches the gates of City Hall, discovering a chilling photo of himself pinned to a Mobius operative’s corpse. This act triggers the reappearance of the Guardian, the grotesque, bladed monster from his nightmares. In a desperate, multi-phase battle, Sebastian uses environmental traps, oil fires, and shock bolts to finally destroy the creature. Inside City Hall, he meets the dying Mobius agent Harrison, who tells him to activate the Stable Field Emitter to weaken the murderer manipulating Union—Stefano Valentini. Exploring the photographer’s surreal murder gallery, Sebastian solves a mannequin puzzle and faces Obscura, a time-freezing, spider-like creature guarding the emitter. After surviving Obscura and reactivating the emitter, City Hall stabilizes—temporarily—and Sebastian edges closer to Lily’s trail while uncovering more of Stefano’s obsession with “artistic death.”

Chapter 6 - On the Hunt:

Sebastian returns to The Marrow to report to O’Neal, uncovering new resonance points, Mobius files, and dangerous new corridors overtaken by white, pulsating growths. As he explores, he narrowly escapes a massive, shapeless monster that stalks him through the tunnels. Solving puzzles and looting resources, he finds refuge in a new safe house run by Yukiko Hoffman, a Mobius psychologist monitoring STEM’s degradation. Hoffman provides Sebastian with data about potential Core candidates—including his daughter—and guidance toward The Grand Theatre, where Stefano is believed to be hiding. Back on the surface, Union’s streets have grown even deadlier, crawling with new enemies and twisted “art installations.” As Sebastian approaches the theater gate, Stefano taunts him directly, setting the stage for their inevitable confrontation.
