Processing Quad Walkthrough - Still Wakes the Deep Guide - IGN (2024)

Warm Yourself Up

When entering the Accommodation floor, follow the path forward into the locker room, where you’ll find a heater that you can use to warm yourself up.

Check in with Roy on the Phone

After warming up, examine the book on the nearby table. It is turned to The Trawlermen, a poem from Craig Henry Campbell’s Twelve Coastal Poems novel. When you’re ready, check in with Roy via the phone on the wall.

Investigate the Flare Stack

You learn that Roy is okay, but your phone call is cut short when you witness an explosion at the Flare Stack.

You’ll hear the phone ring again as you leave via the door. So, head back inside and pick up the phone, where you’ll listen to a pre-recorded conversation between Suze and Caz. Is Caz hallucinating?

Once the call ends, head onto the deck and follow the path down toward the Flare Stack as you cross over Derrick side. Along the way, when traveling beneath the creature's veins, Caz will begin to hear Suze’s voice again. There’s only one way to travel, so keep following the path forward until you reach the Processing Quad.

Find a Way Up to the Flare

Once you reach the Processing Quad gate, head to the end of the path, where you can examine the flare stack’s flame through the fence, which looks quite weak at the end of the crane arm.

Once examined, return to the gate and climb up the nearby stairs. When you reach the top, climb up the ladder and head toward the room at the end, where you’ll enter a cutscene with Brodie.

Divert the Flare Gas

Following the cutscene, Brodie requires Caz to cross over into the Processing Quadrant to divert the flare gas, which could spread to the Derrick and cause a massive explosion.

Before leaving the room, examine the note addressed to Brodie from Finlay on the table by the door.

When you’re ready, leave the room and jump across the gap as you head toward the Processing Quadrant.

On the other side, enter the building and crawl through the vent in the wall. Now, head down the stairs and through the pipes. Shimmy across the ledge, where you’ll spot Addair patrolling the floor below, and continue following the path until you reach the entrance to the lift.

Beside the gate, you’ll find a Processing Quad map on the fence that you can examine. When you’re ready, open the gate and use the lift to reach the middle floor.

When the lift lowers, it’ll slip slightly, attracting Addair’s attention. Despite his attempts, though, he won’t be able to open the gate—at least not before it falls off after he leaves.

Get Past Addair to the Gas Divert Valve

With the gate now open, climb up to the middle floor and follow the path a short distance. Before long, Addair will soon return, and to avoid him, turn right and squeeze along the ledge. When it’s safe, follow the path and head into the next INSP vent, and then next.

Following the second INSP vent, turn right and shimmy across the next ledge. Here, you’ll find a valve; turn it to shut off the flame blocking the path to the Gas Divert Valve.

Now, return to the INSP vent, and once it’s safe, sneak along the path as you head toward the Gas Divert Valve. When reaching the end, you’ll find another vent you can crawl through beside the door.

Divert the Flare Gas

After crawling through the vent, examine the Gas Flare Operation warning sign on the wall, and then turn the valve to divert the flare gas.

Climb Down the Flare Stack

Needing to manually relight the Gas Flare, climb down the ladder.

Relight the Flare Stack

After climbing down the ladder, open the nearby door and then attempt to open the gate to the Gas Flare, which won’t go to plan.

With the alarm alerting Addair, you’ll enter a chase scene similar to the one you experienced with Rennick.

Like before, simply keep sprinting as you follow the path forward. Keep in mind that you will need to vault over several obstacles and leap over several gaps, including one where you need to grip onto the ledge; otherwise, you will fall to your death.

Once you’re safe from Addair, head up the stairs and toss the flare when prompted.

Escape Back to the Rig

Despite relighting the Gas Flare, an explosion occurs and ignites Addair—killing him—and sets the crane arm on fire. Needing to escape back to the rig, sprint back as fast as you can, avoiding any obstacles along the way, only to find out that you’re too slow and the crane will come crashing down, triggering a cutscene.
