The Farewell Freedom Trial is the final step to escaping The Outlast Trials, and it’s no easy feat. This guide will break down each step, covering enemy encounters, key locations, and optimal strategies to ensure a successful escape. Whether you’re attempting this for the first time or looking to refine your run, follow this walkthrough to maximize efficiency and avoid unnecessary risks.

Step 1: The Sprint to the First Box

As soon as the trial begins, start running. Your first goal is to grab the leftmost box and sprint forward. Keep moving until you reach a barrier that must be knocked down. Speed is crucial here since delaying could lead to unwanted encounters with enemies.

Once the box is placed, be mindful of glass traps scattered throughout the area. Since the Slippers amp has been nerfed, stepping on glass now makes significantly more noise, so be extra cautious.

Key Strategy:

• Close doors behind you whenever possible. This can temporarily delay enemies chasing you.
• If you find yourself trapped, sometimes taking a single hit is preferable to being cornered.
• If an enemy is blocking your path, use throwable objects or bait them into a different area.

Step 2: Navigating the Lower Level (Heart & Eye Keys)

After getting past the stair section, you’ll need to find two important keys: Heart and Eye.

Enemy Encounters & Best Tactics:

• Expect aggressive enemies, particularly in this area. If you have the Blind Mine rig, now is a good time to use it.
• If you’re cornered, lead the enemy into a loopable area where you can safely dodge and escape.
• Watch for glass traps and avoid unnecessary noise, as it can attract unwanted attention.

Once both Heart and Eye keys are secured, the next step is to locate The Reel.

Step 3: Finding The Reel

Many players struggle with finding The Reel, but understanding its spawn locations will save you time.

Important Notes:

• The Reel will NEVER spawn in the first room. Ignore this area to avoid wasting time.
• The Reel is always located on the opposite hallway.
• If you don’t see a frequency location on one side, expect to find two on the other.

Possible Reel Spawn Points:

1. On the couches in the main hall.
2. On small tables scattered around the area.
3. On a counter in a side room.
4. On benches or outside tables.
5. Near a frequency terminal.

Quick Escape Tip:

If you successfully grab The Reel, but an enemy is close by, try using a trap or a throwable to create an opening.

Step 4: Delivering The Reel to the Movie Set

Once you have The Reel, make your way back down the hallway to the movie set area. Place The Reel into the projector. This is the final setup before your Freedom Trial Rebirth.

Handling Enemy Encounters:

• Some enemies may still be in the area—use distractions or lead them into another section before committing to the objective.
• If you find yourself being chased, head to a previously cleared room and use obstacles to slow enemies down.

Step 5: The Final Escape (Rebirth Sequence)

Now, all that’s left is the rebirth sequence—an all-out sprint to freedom.

Key Points to Remember:

• The moment you climb up the final section, an elite enemy will spawn (often “Mom”).
• Your route is simple: Left, then right—straight to the exit.
• Aggressive enemies can make this sequence unpredictable, so be prepared for sudden chases.

Final Sprint to the Exit:

• If an enemy is blocking the exit, use a throwable or a mine rig to create an opportunity to slip past.
• Avoid panic-running into dead ends. Stick to the planned path and keep moving.
• If enemies are closing in, loop them around obstacles to buy time.
