Underground Tunnel

The Last of Us™ Part I guide · Navigating the flooded subway

Joel, Tess, and Ellie navigate a collapsed, partially submerged subway tunnel in Downtown Boston to bypass military checkpoints on their way to the State House. The area contains murky water hazards, derelict train cars, and patrols of infected that must be snuck past or eliminated. Players must swim, locate dry paths around blockages, and find a floating wooden pallet to ferry non-swimmer Ellie across deep water.

Wooden Pallet puzzle | In the deep flooded section, dive and locate a floating wooden pallet to bring over to Ellie so she can reach the opposing walkway.

Enemies

Runner

Weak to Headshots, stealth takedowns

Roams the dry platforms and interior of submerged train cars; alerts others if startled.

Clicker

Weak to Shiv stealth kills, shotgun, fire

Relies on echolocation; navigating the train cars silently is essential to avoid direct combat.

Tips

Ellie cannot swim, so do not try to guide her into deep water until you have found a wooden pallet to ferry her across.
Crouch-walk through murky water to minimize splash noise when moving past Clickers perched on the platforms.
