The Last Of Us Walkthrough Part 51 – Chapter 8: The University (Entrance to Melissa Smith Library)

Immediately turn around when you are in control of Joel on the horse, which Ellie has named “Callus”. Head on up the slope to the passenger car next to the truck. Look on the hood of it to find another Comic Book for Ellie. Now head down the slope and through the opening in the brick wall, the entrance, and break off to the left. Head past the guard booth to the left and keep going into the small lower parking lot. Look behind the car on its side to find some supplements for Joel. Now it is time to head toward the gate leading into the campus.

Head on up the slope ahead of you and then turn to the right when you see the first Barbed Wire Barricade. Dismount and head into the garage on the right. Search the first bit of shelving for Parts, just beyond that is a Work Bench which you will want to visit shortly. Look around the car in the middle of the floor to find the Flamethrower that is resting against it. Head on up the ramp and over to the right, to the metal barrels you see there. You will find more Supplements sitting there. Follow the wall forward to find more parts. Head through the doorway in the left-hand corner and head up a flight of stairs. Go through the door on the left and get outside and look over to the right. You will find some Crafting Items and an artifact: “Sniper's Nest Log”. After that head on back to the horse and Ellie.

Ride on by the Barbed Wire Barricade, jumping it with Callus. Head on up the steps and then go over to the right. Look for the light colored tree on the right and look to the low branches on the left. There you will find a Firefly Pendant just hanging there. Lob a brick or a bottle (or shoot it if you have lots of ammo) to drop it down to collect it. Now head on over to the left. Try the gate ahead of you but it will be locked up (and bared wire on top). Disount and try the gate, nothing. Head into the building on the left and just go down the one open corridor. Keep going forward until you find another gate. Dismount and interact with it to trigger the next part of this.

A Runner is indeed near Joel with 4 others. Still, they are not an immediate threat so you can explore a little before needing to deal with them. Immediately go for the opposite side of the room and look on the table to find some Parts. Turn to the right after that look to the left of the door you see there. There is an artifact hanging on the wall: “Wall Panel Note”. Now head for the stair cases over to the left. Go up the one near Ellie, on the left. Look on the chair toward the end of the hall at the top to find some more Supplements for Joel. Head on down to the end of the hall and look across to the other side. You will likely spot one of the 5 Infected Runners on this level there.

Move in carefully. Throwing a Nail Bomb into the room to the left, where you see the yellow cable coming from is a very good idea. This will deal with most of the Infected. After that pull out your melee weapon or gun and just deal with the rest of the Infected that come after you. Be sure to grab the canister of Flamethrower ammo sitting by the chair in front of the room with the cable so you have more ammo for it later. Now head into the room where the cable is coming from and follow it to the generator. Fire it up with 3 well-timed presses of “Triangle”. Now turn around and head through the door in the back of the room and down the stairs you find there. Just head over to the Ellie and she will come through on Callus. Go over to the left and use the Wall Panel next to the gate to raise it up. This leads straight into the courtyard.
