The Dead City – Stray

Fallen from the top of the wall, our mustachioed hero tries to find a path that will bring him back to his friends within the second chapter of stray : The dead city. Quickly, you notice that you are not alone.

Walk through the dead city

As you move through this abandoned town, strange little creatures seem to flee from you and cameras watch you. The questions multiply when arriving at a small flooded area, where a panel lights up to display the word HELP, as well as a direction. Follow it by jumping on barrels and pipes.

Here you are in front of a slew of screens that show you another path to follow. Definitely, someone is watching you and wants to meet you.

Pass through the broken conduit and, on the other side, grab a bucket in your mouth and climb the pipes to get to a fan. With the bucket you’re about to drop, the blades will jam and free up a passage for you. Cross it.

A little further, four buckets of paint prevents you from reaching the glazed roof opposite. Patounez them story to clear a window of jump.

Arrived on the other side, however, it remains to create an access to the apartment. Climb the vents and drop the can of blue paint on the glass roof just below.

You can now drop inside. Always helped by the screens, cross the two rooms of the apartment to reach the outside again. Climb into the bucket that acts as an elevator and jump once near the ground.

Other small creatures cross your path but also, and above all, the remains of a still-animated robot. Unfortunately, it turns off immediately after interacting with it. Another mystery is added to the picture, but we have to get back on the road. Climb up to the neon in front of you and move forward.

Escape the creatures

Problem, you find yourself in a den of small critters. And this time, rather than running away, they are heading towards you. So flee at full speed, taking care to pass as far as possible from the creatures and following the lit signs.

If ever some manage to touch you, hammer the meow button to get rid of them.

At the end of this breathtaking chase, an open window awaits you and offers a well-deserved respite to our potichat. Head up the stairs to your right and climb the vents and roofs, still towards the neon lights.

Continue the climb

You then reach a roof where a plank is placed vertically. Push it with your paws to create a walkway to the roof opposite. Approach the small blue window and go through. Continue slightly until you reach a lying barrel.

Go inside and move it to the right so you can reach the sheet metal just above.

Climb on the beam and move towards the scaffolding and the panel symbolizing a dollar. Jump on the unstable board and, following a narrow landing, resume your journey. After passing the neon with an arrow, jump on the sheet and then on the next scaffolding.

Immediately to the left, jump on the ventilation and push the board, just to reach another scaffolding and thus resume progress.

Continue until you reach balconies. To show you the way, you notice that the panels have given way to garlands. Over the vents and roofs, you eventually reach a door with bars. Sneak up and move forward.

A fan blocks your way. Unplug the power on the wall next to it and go between the now stopped blades. Here you are in an apartment like no other.
