F.E.A.R. Hints
Can I *finally* kill this creep?
1 of 9: Thankfully, yes!
2 of 9: As you approach him, you'll be put into the vision of the dark area with flames on the ground once again.
3 of 9: As before, immediately start backing up and watching for the blurry outlines of Nightmares to appear against the flames.
4 of 9: For some unknown reason, you're suddenly stuck with just a pistol, so use it to shoot every Nightmare outline you can see.
5 of 9: TIP: The Nightmares will come from the same direction that Fettel's ghostly self is standing while he's talking to you, so what you should do is turn to face him, then back up and watch for Nightmares after he disappears.
6 of 9: When that sequence is finally over, you'll be in a small enclosed room with Fettel.
7 of 9: Shoot him to finally kill the guy and end this vision.
8 of 9: Unfortunately, you'll still be stuck with just the pistol.
9 of 9: TIP: You can keep all three of your old weapons by using the Drop Weapon key to drop them right before you reach the spot where you're thrown into vision. After the vision is over, ditch the pistol if you don't want to keep it, then go get your three dropped weapons back.
