Where to Find It
Chapter
The Sewer Hideout
Location
Four sets of valve handles across the Sewer Hideout drainage areas.
Step-by-Step
- Set 1 (drainage pool, two handles): rotate the left valve twice so its pipe faces down; rotate the right valve once so its pipe faces left.
- Set 2 (beyond the crawlspace, three handles): left ×1 up; leave the middle (already up); right ×1 left.
- Set 3 (four handles): first ×1 up, second ×2 down, third ×1 down, fourth ×2 left.
- Set 4 (the tunnel door, two handles): left ×1 down, right ×1 left.
- With all sets correct you hear the water drain; the pool drops to wadable depth.
What It Unlocks
Drains the main pool, opening the lower flooded area and the route forward.
