I escaped an industrial area by the boat, only to be caught in a terrifying ocean storm. After the boat failed and I was thrown overboard, I struggled through high waves to reach the shore. I eventually found a hidden path into an aquarium after an initial failed attempt at the locked door.
After taking down the Bloater, I quickly located a pipe that was wedged tightly against the mechanism, effectively blocking the shutter from moving. It took a bit of effort to dislodge it, but once the obstruction was removed, the way finally seemed clear to proceed with the next phase.
After removing the pipe, I jumped down to the lower level to manually open up the shutter. With the path cleared, I was finally able to get out of this place by riding my boat through the opening.
After riding the boat for a moment, I reached an expansive open space that felt like being in the middle of a vast ocean. The atmosphere shifted instantly as the sky got cloudy black all of a sudden, and the entire environment became quite scary.
Suddenly, the boat stopped working and left me stranded in the choppy water. I tried hard to get it work, desperately pulling at the starter, but a high wave tossed me off the boat at the very moment I felt I was making progress.
I struggled with the high tides and waves to survive in the rough conditions. After getting tossed by the waves for several times and nearly losing my breath, I swam up to the surface and started swimming toward the distant shore.
Every stroke was a battle against the current, but I kept my eyes fixed on the land ahead.
After much struggle, I reached the shore and got closer to the Ferris wheel looming in the distance. It was a chilling moment when I saw lightning was striking right behind the big wheel. I knew I was close to finally finding my target inside the aquarium.
Then I had to find an option to get inside the aquarium, but the main door was locked from the inside. I tried to swim beside the structure to find an alternative entry point, but the water was more dangerous than I anticipated.
I ended up getting trapped or overwhelmed, and I died before I could find a way into the building.
Upon respawn, I noticed a small hole below the net door that I had completely missed the other time. This hidden gap provided just enough space for me to move through.
I realized I could prone and get to the other side this time, successfully bypassing the locked entrance and moving deeper into the facility.
We'll check what happens next in another post.
