Use items to distract Clickers such as Bricks and Bottles. Clickers cannot see you, they depend only on sound so be sure to keep quiet and walk slowly.
The area consists of 4 Runners and 1 Clicker - a total of 5 infected. You can clear the area by using Joel's hearing then eliminating them one by one. Make use of the surroundings and distraction items.
Before exiting the subway station you will encounter infected at the area. Clear them out or eliminate them. You might need a number of Shivs to clear them all. We recommend slipping past by distracting them.
