In this part of the game you will unlock the Workbench, to upgrade weapons. Also things will be slow here until Abby finds Joel. There is an intense zombie chase scene where you have to keep running. And if you are dying then read the direction under how to escape runners in this Last of Us 2 Part 3 walkthrough.
Hidden Weed Room & When Abby finds Joel?
Finally after struggling in the snowy wind Dina and Ellie are in the safe zone. This new hideout has a workbench to use it you will have to start the generator first. This new hideout is a kind of library, go to the left end from your last location towards the Copy Center. Grab the bottle from the floor and throw it to break the glass. Unlock the door for Dina and grab some metal parts from the desk next to the xerox machine. There are more on the left side.
On the right side of the second door is a locket with firefly on it. Grab it and continue to the next door, there is a desk on the left of exit door with photo of Tommy and Eugene. The generator is in the lobby at the left side, and right opposite is the workbench. Walk near the generator and press Triangle to turn it on. Now you can use the Workbench to upgrade your weapons. Use the metal parts to enhance weapons stability, ammo capacity, etc. You can scan through the upgrade menu to see what is available.
Path to the Underground Room
After using the workbench Dina will point to a underground room. There is light coming out, and to find a way go outside and look on the right end of lobby for a huge bookshelf. You can also follow the yellow wire on the ground that leads to the same thing. The hidden room is an used for weed plantation. You will have to interact with few things to trigger a cutscenes.
- As you enter look on the left for video tapes.
- Continue walking and interact with the dead weed plant on the left.
- From the end turn right and walk towards a shelf, grab the weird gas mask bong.
- Grab the jar on the right side of the Sofa near the plants.
Completing this all will start a long cutscene where you will see both having a break time. The game switches to Abby. She is following the footprints on the snow, and this is where the game turns intense.
