Things to Look Out For

4. Fighting Ellie.jpg
Fighting Ellie will be hard, especially since she is much faster than you. Look out for Trip Mines that she plants on the ground, as they will instantly kill you.

When she knows where you are hiding, she will throw a Molotov in your direction. Use Bottles that are lying around to distract Ellie, and throw them at her to stun her.

Use Listen Mode

You won't win by fighting her head on. If you have upgraded your listening skill, try to use Listen Mode to locate her position from afar and sneak your way closer to Ellie. This way you can plot a route to avoid getting killed before reaching her.

Look for Bottles and Bricks

Throwing a Bottle or a Brick at Ellie will stun her for a few seconds making her vulnerable to your attacks. Use this to your advantage if you are having a hard time sneaking up on her.

Watch Out for Traps

During the 2nd phase, Ellie will start planting traps around the area while trying to hide. Be cautious of these traps and try to avoid them as much as possible to prevent getting killed instantly. You can throw bottles or bricks at the Trap Mine to detonate them as well.
