Deformed Howler

Walkthrough

The definitive climax to Chapter 1. A highly linear, guided pathing system ("handholding") that restricts user deviation to maximize cinematic narrative delivery before transitioning to the Left Scarred intermission.

Tips

RNG variance on the Deformed Howler pathing is severe - abort any speedrun deviation here.
This split carries a widened confidence interval on the tracker for that reason.

Nightmare note. Stamina discipline is mandatory. Every sprint must be justified; every flashlight toggle is a tactical decision.
