Chapter 4
When the chapter begins, continue walking forward. You’ll go down a set of stairs and enter a massive underground cavern.
Jump across the gap and continue forward, hugging the wall on the right. This area is pretty straightforward.
You’ll find some writings on the wall along the way. The writings will always be close to a lantern.
Keep moving until you reach a large passage. There are two writings on the wall to your right. Leave the area through the doorway.
Continue up the mountain using the path on your right.
You’ll spot a hut in the distance as you reach the top. Start walking toward it.
As you get close, Benedict notices that it’s the Thornes’ boathouse. But somehow, the lake has disappeared.
Continue forward toward the main house. It’s gone as well, leaving a giant hole in the ground. But luckily, the door to the basement is still there.
Head down to the basement. You’ll have to crawl past the wreckage.
You’ll spot a tunnel on the bottom floor of the basement where you saw the cage earlier. Head down the tunnel.
This will lead you to another stone door. But to open it, you’ll need to use a Power Cylinder on the device to the right. Pick up the Page from the table.
Leave the basement and go back outside. Continue along the path with the lit lanterns.
As you move forward, the ground will shake, and some of the lanterns will go out. Turn left and follow the path with the lantern.
This will lead you to the cave you saw back in chapter 1.
With the lake gone, you can walk across the open field. You’ll spot a lantern up ahead to your right. Follow this path.
This will lead you to an open area shortly after. From this point, you’ll have to be careful.
If you follow the lanterns in a straight line, the creature from the previous chapter will attack you.
Keep the lanterns in your line of sight and follow the route without getting on the main path to avoid it.
The lanterns will lead you to another part of the lake. Drop down past the lantern. The creature won’t chase you here.
You can see a faint glow of lights in the distance. Follow the path on the right and loop around the giant pit. Then keep walking toward the light.
From here, keep following the lanterns to reach a house nearby. The main door of the house is locked.
Walk around to the cellar entrance to find it open. Drop down through the opening.
There’s a note on the table in the far left corner of the room that you can grab.
When you’re ready, head through the tunnel to the right.
You will find the Power Cylinder shortly along the path. Pick it up.
Continue forward through the tunnel. You’ll reach a door. Place the Power Cylinder into the device to open the door.
As the door opens, you’ll see another door past it close, blocking your way forward. Wait for the first door to open fully. Then grab the Power Cylinder and sprint through the door before it closes.
Continue along the tunnel. It will take you back to the mountain area just before Thornes’ boathouse.
Go forward and jump across, then make your way back to the top and to the basement of the Thornes’ residence. Head down to the basement and place the Power Cylinder to open the door.
The path through the door takes you to a large chamber. The device down below looks alien.
Turn left and continue forward. Keep walking till you spot a large doorway down a staircase. This leads to the ancient prehuman city.
Go through the doorway to spot a giant spaceship floating above you.
Walk across the bridge and enter the passageway.
Head to the end of the passageway and interact with it to complete the chapter.
Chapter 5
Chapter 5 begins with Benedict West inside the alien spaceship. Turn left to spot a door with white light.
There’s a door with red light to your right as well. But it’s locked.
Walk up to the door on the left and interact with it to open the door. This takes you to a long hallway. There’s another door with a red light at the other end.
You’ll find an alien computer terminal with white light at the far end of the room, near the door. Interact with it to turn the light on the door white, indicating that it’s unlocked.
Go through the door to arrive at a rectangular room. You’ll spot two red doors as soon as you enter.
Turn right to spot another white alien computer terminal. Interact with it.
This will open a hatch in the center of the room. Jump through the hatch.
After jumping off the ship, you’ll find yourself safe and sound on the ground. However, you don’t really know where you are. There is a rocky mountain path with strange lanterns on the side. Follow the path.
The path continues to your right once you get to the edge of the cliff.
Along the way, you’ll see some people getting rounded up on a bridge in the distance. You can’t help them. Keep moving forward.
You’ll pass by a locked red door. But the tunnel continues deeper on your left.
Eventually, you’ll reach a cavern. There’s an Energy Sphere inserted into a pillar nearby. It seems to be drawing energy from the glowing green liquid on the ground.
Go past the Energy Sphere and take a left at the lantern up ahead. But note the two alien statues up ahead.
Follow the path all the way to the end to spot a small section with blue light coming from it.
As you get close, you’ll spot an alien computer terminal. Interact with it.
Go back to the pillar where you saw the Energy Sphere and grab it.
With that in hand, head toward the two alien statues nearby and go down the stairs. You can see an energy barrier on the doorway up ahead.
Walk up to the door and interact with the pillar to the right to insert the Energy Sphere. This will deactivate the barrier.
Head through the doorway and across the passage.
Follow the path down the mountain to your left.
Keep walking forward. You’ll loop all the way around the pit to reach a door.
Head through the door and keep walking forward along the bridge to trigger the final cutscene of the game. Congratulations on finishing Cosmic Fear!
