very confused about what to do in the sewers

[treedude]

am I supposed to kill all the ticks then the furnace? the furnace hits like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!
what exactly am I supposed to do here.

You need to pull a switch that lowers some steel barriers, then find the long line of barriers that have fallen down and cross them.

Should be somewhere on the right side of the map.

Yeah it's rough not having any idea where to go let alone what to do here. There is a switch on the right side of the sewer that lowers a gate towards the left side where you start. There is a second lever beyond that one but I believe the first is the only one needed to progress.

Furnace is optional boss and you can skip it (personally I didn't get any reason to beat it, 1) you freeing it from the ticks, 2) you fight with it, wtf)

I got the first switch
what exactly does the first switch do apart from open up more of the sewer area
and what does the second switch do

Forget off the top of my head what exactly the second opens up outside of another tick fight but I'm sure it's some stuff equipment. First switch makes it so you can exit the sewer and head into the parking garage of the basement which is towards the north once past the lowered bars.

so I leave the sewers after opening it and go out into the basement to go the parking garage?

Correct. The sewer is just to get to the parking garage which then allows you to reach the elevator where it's currently stuck at.

After 1.02 it drops a sick fire weapon.

Furnace doesn't attack until all ticks are dead

Thanks for that. I was stuck as well, pulling my hair out thinking I hate to fight the furnace to progress.

I had the same issue, the game strongly pushes you towards the ticks and the furnace, but both are totally optional. (And after the recent patch, the furance is actually overpowered as hell, and one of the hardest bosses in the game.) It's a hidden gate on the left side of the sewers your actually meant to go find to reach the sewer monster camp.
