Welcome to the final chapter of The Evil Within - if you made it so far, congratulations! Victory is nigh!

Chapter 15 is one of the longer chapters but a lot of the time is spent in cutscenes.

The wave based battle arena can be quite tricky to deal with - especially due to the lack of ammunition (and if you are unlucky, lack of craftable resources).

Wave I:
- As soon as you can, run right and climb up the ladders. You should be able to place a shock bolt before the first wave of enemies comes. Burn them all with one match

Wave II:
- Run to the left side, place a shock bolt and burn as many as you can. Shoot the remaining Haunted

Wave III:
- Craft a shock bolt if you don't already have one ready. Place it in the middle of the battlefield - into the blood
- A Fake and other Haunted will spawn. If you place yourself behind the Fake you are able to burn them all at once

Wave IV:
- Run back to the right side. Place a shock bolt and try to burn all three enemies
- More enemies are coming from all over the place. Try to shoot them or use other tactics you feel more comfortable with
- The Sadist will spawn with an RPG. You don't have to bother with him until everyone else is dead
- Unfortunately I ran out of matches - and quickly out of ammo as well... You can use the RPG Sadist to shoot the rest of them
- If you shoot the Sadist twice with the sniper, he will pull out his chainsaw and come for you. Once he comes for you, make sure you still have 4 sniper bullets left for the next section
- Kill the Sadist

Once this part is over, the rest is going to be easy!

In the next section, shoot all four Haunted with your sniper. If you are far enough away, they won't do anything.

At this point, you should have a couple of bullets for your magnum and a lot of resources to craft bolts - specifically explosive bolts. You can make a line out of explosive bolts and let both Keepers run towards you, converging to the line. Once they explode, you shouldn't need a lot of ammo to kill the Keepers. This marks the final time you need ammunition in this game.

I think you can figure out how to get through the trap maze. No, i didn't step onto a bear trap. You can shoot the eyes to temporarily disable them.

The rest of the game isn't hard to figure out. Once you have dealt with all this. Congratulations! You beat 悪夢 -AKUMU- Difficulty!

My final stats:
Total Clear Time: 10:08:37
Total Number of Deaths: 257

This was certainly one of my biggest achievements alongside getting 100% completion in the Dark Souls Trilogy. If you have watched any amount of the videos, thanks for watching!
