| 1.7 |  There is a hidden cave behind the encampment, west of the area. Inside will be a vault that will require a code to unlock. The code can't be found within the demo area, so it is likely that this can only be solved later in the game. ▶︎Cave Puzzle |

2. Find the Sergeant and Get the APC Keys
| Step | Objective |
|---|---|
| 2.1 |  The entrance will cave in once you enter the dungeon. Continue forward, and save your progress via the manual save point before you reach the room where you will first encounter a Lymbic Entity. After getting your new gear, defeat the entity in front of you. |
| 2.2 |  After defeating the Lymbic Entity, your next goal is to open the large door locked by a puzzle. To open the door, put in Tower - Serpent - Fire. The solution can be found by entering the doorway to the right of the room. There will be three plates for you to scan. Use your drone to turn on your flashlight since the room is very dark. |
| 2.3 |  Once you have opened the large door, climb up the ladders in the prison area until you reach the third level. There is a cell on the left side corridor where you can pick up the Bracers of Terror - Intimidating Bulwark, before entering the door to the next area. |
| 2.4 |  From this point is a very straightforward path, on the way you will encounter a corpse where you can pick up the Twin Axes. On the next flight of stairs after this will be a locked door that will require two Ram Medallions to open. You'll find this later and will have to go back into the dungeon to open this door. ▶︎Secrets of the Ram Door Puzzle |
| 2.5 |  Do a manual save before you enter the next door. After three rooms from the manual save you can pick up the Ram Head Medallion - Viridian from a pile of corpses. You will use this to open another locked door later on and complete the Secrets of the Ram Mystery Puzzle. |
| 2.6 |  Continue forward until you reach the room with a lever, defeat the enemy, and pull the lever to open the door. |
| 2.7 |  Upon opening the door, you will find the Sergeant's body wearing a red poncho, get the APC Keys and exit into the trenches. |

| 2.9 |  Make your way out by going towards the bright red light. There is a save point you can use before exiting the trenches. |
| 2.10 |  Before you go up the hill to the intersection, head east close to the trenches. Near the ramp heading to the Tower, you'll notice the entrance to an underground den close to hillside. If you go underground, you will hear two women trapped behind a locked door. They will ask for your help, but it seems like the solution for this puzzle is not available in the demo. ▶︎ Trapped Women Underground |
| 2.11 |  Go up the ramp and continue heading northeast until you reach the staircase that leads to the tower. There is a chest under the staircase that contains the Glyph - Animosity. If you go to the tower, there will be a mechanism to unlock the door. The required item couldn't be found in the demo, so it looks like this is not accessible until the full game. ▶︎The Large Tower |
| 2.12 |  Go back the path where you came from until you reach that intersection with the broken trucks. If you look into the ruins, there is a puzzle inside the building that can't be solved. If you take the path to the right, you'll go back to the APC. ▶︎ Square Indent Puzzle In the Ruins |
| 2.13 |  On the path to the APC, there will be a dead body in the middle of the road. You can grab the Ram Head Medallion - Crimson from him. At this point you can back track to the Ram Door to open it or proceed to the APC to go to the next area. |

Hell is Us Demo Secrets and Puzzles
| Solvable Puzzles | Cannot Be Solved |
|---|---|
Cadell Family Treasure
| Steps | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | As you make your way to the soldiers' camp, you'll notice colored rubble which are linked to the Cadell Family Treasure secret quest. To initiate it, you'll need to examine the yellow rubble found south of the second tree with a marker. |
| 2 |  To find the Red Rubble, we highly recommend following the markers until you see the marker on the stacked barrels. This is the last marker right before the camp. From here, head West and follow that path to find the red rubble and get the key. |
| 3 |  To find the Blue Rubble, return to the soldier's camp, then jump down the cliff in front of it. From there, head North then East to find a ledge leading to an open area with the blue rubble on it. Use the key from the Red Rubble to open the lockbox and get the Bracelet of Ecstacy - Wanton Destruction. |
The Cadell Family Treasure is one of the first mysteries you can solve in the demo. To uncover its secrets, you must find three colored rubbles that hold clues and the key needed to unlock a box containing one of the game's early defensive gear items.
Secrets of the Ram Door Puzzle
While inside the ruins, you may also encounter a door that requires two items to open. To complete it, you must obtain the two Ram Head medallions. One of them is found inside the ruins near the mountain of corpses, while the other one is found outside the ruins after your first encounter with a Lymbic Entity.
Once you have obtained both medallions, you'll need to backtrack from the warzone outside of the ruins and back to the door. Open it and defeat the enemy inside to obtain the Glyph - Recoil.
Cave Puzzle Behind the OMSIF Tent
In the upper woods, near the OMSIF encampment where the Medkit was, there is a small hidden cave behind some bushes in the upper area of the camp. Inside this cave is a vault door that you can access with a code.
There are currently no clues to solve this puzzle in the demo, but if you'd like to test your chances you can try use different combinations to unlock it.
Trapped Women Underground
In the trenches, there will be an underground den with a sealed door. There are two women trapped inside asking for your help to free them. Currently, there is no way to free them yet in the demo. Most likely this can be solved later in the game.
Square Indent Puzzle In the Ruins Near the Trenches
You can find this door in the ruins near the trenches. It looks like something needs to be placed into the holes to solve the puzzle. After fully exploring the area, it looks like this puzzle can only be solved later in the game.
The Large Tower
There is a large tower that you will be able to access after exiting the Senedra Dungeon. Keep heading north east, and you will come upon a large set of stairs leading down into the tower entrance. Upon investigation, it looks like an item is needed to open its doors. Most likely, this will become accessible later in the game.
