Get the apartment key
During Recursions and Iterations, follow Pope’s lead to Langston and obtain the key. Enter via the Sinkhole laundromat’s Personnel Access route. On the northern Dombrow platform, use the yellow-tape approach to apartment 5.
Carry Alfred to a safe bed
Investigate the scratches and blood, place the feeder inside the bedroom carrier and pick it up. Follow the disturbed plants and footprints instead of returning straight to the entrance. In the apartment south of Dombrow, put the carrier on the bed near the TV. Investigate the piano and remove the four bedroom plants. Leave until the follow-up call, then collect Alfred.
Track Maria below
Return to inspect Dombrow’s body. Carry Alfred along the blood trail and the interpreted directions toward the southern red fissure. The invisible Maria encounter is a combat step; do not abandon the carrier route after the first fight.
Intercept the escape and finish
Place the carrier at the fissure, then call Alfred toward the windows along the red-lit path. Shift helps follow the changed surfaces. Complete three interceptions to bring Maria back, defeat her, and return the carrier to the TV beside Dombrow’s body. Use the bottom diving bell’s travel access when leaving.
