The Last Of Us Walkthrough Part 33 – Chapter 5: Pittsburgh (Hotel Grand: Basement to Service Area)

With Joel in the water swim over to the right, where the elevator was sinking. You will see a passage forward you can swim through so go for it. After that go over to the right and search the far room in that area. You will find a few more Crafting Items that Joel can use, but nothing immediately can be crafted. Head on back into the room you just came from and go over the overturned locker. You can try the door to the left of the debris in the middle of the room but the ceiling will come crashing down in front of him there. Head over the lockers then go on through the door that is beyond them. Joel will find a stairwell but one he has to swim through.

For this dive you will need to move quickly and be sure that you dive at the farthest point as Joel only has so much breath. You can also turn off your flashlight for a minute beforehand to let it recharge then hit the water and start swimming. At the bottom of the stairs go over to the right and then keep to the right, toward the 2 corpses ahead of you. Just to the right of them is an open doorway. Head on through that then Joel can surface to catch his breath for a minute. Be sure to look for the doorway in this area as it has more Crafting Items, a Shiv and Parts. Grab that then head back to the middle of the room and dive back into the hole in the floor. Head underwater and to the right, toward the evacuation sign and follow it through to the next room. Surface and then go over to the right and through the next doorway. You will find a metal gate blocking one way but an open area to the other. Move Joel toward that and he will notice some Spores ahead. He will pull on his gas mask and then you are good to go forward.

Go over to the left and duck underneath the concrete. Head on through the hallway beyond it. Just stand up after that. There is little to worry about at the moment so you can walk around. Search the 2 rooms off the sides of this hallway (they each have 2 doors leading into the corridor) for ammo and Crafting Items. In the back right of the right-hand room you will find a Generator. Leave it alone for now. Loot the room then head up the collapsed floor to the level above your present one.

Once at the top of the ramp go into the room on the left. Search around there to find what you can in terms of Crafting Items. Head over to the right after that and search the area for more goods. When you are ready for things to start moving again you will want to head into the room on the right from the top of the ramp. On the desk there you will find a Key Card. Grabbing this will trigger the next event in this area. Turn around quickly after grabbing it, pull out your shotgun and aim out the doorway. You will see an Infected run away from you to the other side of the area. This is a Stalker. They, more than any other, will try to ambush Joel and take him down that way. Just stay in the room where you got the Access Card and wait for them to come to you. There are 4 Stalkers in this initial wave so blast them each in turn. During any lull, reload your gun. After that either wait out for the fourth to come at you or head across the way to find them.

Head across the way and go to the back right-hand corner of that room. You will find a passage to the lower level that leads directly to the generator room. Head into the middle of the room with the generator and drop a Nail Bomb or two in the water. Be sure that one is in the middle. Head over to the generator after that, equipping the Molotov. Start up the generator with 3 successfully inputs and then turn around. There are 4 Stalkers and a Bloater that are rushing you. Take out the Stalkers as they become a threat, charging from the back of the room. The Bloater will attack from the right so find him and lob the Molotov at him then gun him down with the Shotgun. After the Infected are taken down follow the wire leading up the slope from the generator room and into the hallway above. Search for the Laundry Room and loot it for whatever supplies you can. After that continue to the wire to the door at the end of the hall and use the Key Card to get on through past the mushrooms emitting the spores. Use the Key Card on the read to the right of the door to get out of there.
