Welcome to the seventh part of our walkthrough for Total Chaos. In this part of the walkthrough, we cover Chapter 7, which takes us through Fort Oasis Catacombs and the Flooded Catacombs. Finally, we escape the catacombs.
You’ve defeated the Lurker and activated the pumps to drain the water. The path to the Fort Oasis Catacombs lies ahead.

Fort Oasis Catacombs
Continue walking forward through the tunnel. You’ll reach a save point just before a steel gate.
Save your game and go through the gate. Stay on the path till you reach the entrance of the Catacombs.
Head down the stairs and continue walking to find another save point. You’ll also find the Journal: Catacombs Map North next to the save point. Pick it up.
Use your Lighter to light up the path as you walk through the dark corridor past the save point.
Continue walking till you reach a point where the path splits off. Follow the pipe over your head and head left.
The screen will start getting weird, and your Lighter will go out multiple times. Don’t stop moving and keep following the path.
You’ll reach another fork. Go left again.
This will lead you to an area with some graves and candles. Drop down.
Turn right to spot another path. Head through it.
You’ll reach another fork. Go left.
This will lead to a section where there are three paths. Go left again.
Pick up the Journal: Catacombs Map South stuck on the wall up ahead. Follow the path straight ahead to reach a save point.
In the save point room, you’ll spot some Flares inside a room through the grills. We’ll need it for the next section.
Retrace your steps back to where you found the map and take the left path. You’ll reach a flooded passage.
Get into the water and continue forward. Head right at the fork.
This will bring you to the room with the Flares. Pick them up.
With that done, retrace your steps till you reach the room with the save point. Save your progress and head down the passage next to the save point.
The Flooded Catacombs
You’ll notice that the passage is flooded. Thankfully, you’ve picked up the Flares, which work underwater. Pop a Flare and dive underwater to move along the corridor.
From the first fork, head left.
Ignore the Forgotten Ones. They won’t attack you. Continue moving till you reach another fork. Go right this time.
This will take you to a room where you can catch your breath. When you’re ready, pop another flare and dive back underwater. Return to the previous fork and take the other path.
Continue along the path. You’ll reach a room filled with Forgotten Ones.
Circle around them and keep moving forward till you surface. You don’t have to use the final Flare. Just use your Lighter for the rest of the way.
Stay on the path, and eventually you’ll see a set of stairs leading up.
Continue progressing down the corridor.
At one point, your Lighter will go out. When the light comes back on, you’ll see that you’re surrounded by Forgotten Ones. Pick up the Journal: Happy Place and listen to the cassette.
Look behind you to spot a corridor with some light at the end. Head toward the light. Your Lighter doesn’t work anymore.
You’ll spot some wooden beams blocking your path. Break them down.
Go forward and right to spot some more crates and beams. Break through them to find the next save point.
Escaping the Catacombs
From the save point, break the nearby crates to unlock the way forward. Turn right to spot the main path.
Keep moving and turn left to spot a narrow corridor with red light. Break the crate and head through it.
You’ll spot a shadow up ahead. Ignore it and continue into the room. Break the beams blocking the corridor and follow the path.
This takes you to a corridor with slimes crawling on the walls all around you. Keep moving forward.
You’ll eventually reach a door. Head toward it to trigger a cutscene. You’ll find yourself transported to a different location.
Continue along the corridor. You’ll find the Journal: A Note on the ground near the open door up ahead.
Stay in the corridor and keep moving to reach an elevator. Activate the elevator to go down.
You’ll find yourself outside. This part is pretty linear. So keep moving.
Eventually, you’ll reach another elevator. Head inside.
When the elevator opens, you’ll find yourself on a narrow bridge. You’ll hear a woman talk to someone named Tyler. This is the name of the mysterious voice that has been guiding you.
At the end of the bridge, you’ll find a locked gate. There are some Volumens floating in the air around you.
Collect the Volumen and consume them from your inventory to open the gate.
Keep moving forward, and you’ll reach a tunnel. Head inside.
You’ll eventually reach an apartment and see some writing on the wall.
Loop around the small apartment’s corridor, and the scene around you will keep shifting.
After a few loops, you’ll spot a tunnel in the wall where the table was. Go through it.
Go toward the shadow standing in the light till the light goes out.
When the light comes back on, you’ll find yourself in a dark tunnel. Continue forward till you spot the save point.
Save your progress and pull the switch to open the shutter.
Keep moving forward, and soon you’ll reach another elevator. Get inside and use the panel to leave the area and complete the chapter.
