How to avoid BTs on the way to the wind farm in Death Stranding? Death Stranding guide, walkthrough

Last update: 07 November 2019

On this page of the guide to Death Stranding, we will tell you how to avoid BTs while traveling to the wind farm. This is part of Order #9 - Power Supply Unit Delivery: Wind Farm. You can't skip the encounter with these particular BTs.

You find them after entering a small forest. This, unfortunately, cannot be avoided. The forest is surrounded on both sides by mountains, and even if you try to pass through its outskirts, Sam will still come across BTs.

The main problem in this mission is that the main character doesn't have Hematic Grenades yet, nor any other items to effectively get rid of the BTs.. The only solution is to sneak up slowly.

When you enter the forest, the antenna will retract. It always points in the direction of the BT that is closest to you. The frequency at which the antenna is "blinking" suggests how close the monster is.

The antenna initially flashes white, but it can change its color to orange when a BT is very close to the hero. Then the monster will also become partially visible - you will see a levitating creature.

Since you can't fight the BTs, avoid them carefully while keeping a safe distance. If you feel that you can be detected, hold down the R1 button. Sam will stop breathing for a moment - BTs will have problems with detecting the hero.

Passing through the entire forest without being seen is possible but difficult. If you get detected, start running - watch out for the branches or small stones. Sam can stumble on them and lose transported cargo. If this happens, return to the lost cargo, but only when it is safe.

While escaping, Sam can be caught by monsters coming out from the black goo - press the Square rapidly and move in any direction to free Sam and get out of the area covered with black goo.

The monsters from the black goo can pull Sam under. When that happens, a monster resembling a squid will appear. Don't try to fight it because you don't have the means to do it. Start running in any direction to get out of the goo and move away from the squid's range. Don't try to hide on the rocks - the goo can move on them putting you in danger.

Reach the wind farm. The BTs will stop chasing you there. Go to the terminal to deliver the cargo.
