The Crash Site

After the cutscene, you find yourself near the wrecked prison bus. The path back to the highway is near the front end of the bus, but it’s worth exploring the surrounding area before you move on.

Start at the rear of the bus and wade into the water. As you pass the wreckage, head for the narrow strip of land at the water’s far edge.

As you exit the water, veer toward the large tree to the right. Search the area around the base of the tree to find a Walkie-talkie. The next body of water can’t be crossed, so turn around and head back to the wrecked bus.

When you’re done exploring the crash site, move to the front end of the bus. The headlights illuminate the path to the next area; slip under the fallen tree to head deeper into the woods.

Back to the Highway

Follow the path until some startled crows fly past you. Once they’re clear, squeeze through the narrow gap in the rocks to the left.

Approach the dead prisoner and collect the nearby Flashlight. When you’re done examining the gruesome scene, head back through the gap and continue along the main path.

When the path splits around a cluster of trees, you can safely choose either direction. Head to the left if you wish to further explore the area, or veer to the right for a more direct route up to the highway.

When you’re done exploring the woods, use the uprooted tree to cross the gorge.

Once you’re safely across the gorge, approach the rocks on the right to trigger a cutscene. When you regain control of Murphy, return to the rocks to automatically climb up to the highway.
