How do I get through hunting chase scene???

[RainaMermaid]

Man, I read reviews that said the hunting chase scene was stupid, but wow.

"cover" should be re-labelled "target".

I really enjoyed the previous games because I am not great at this stuff. THey've been throwing in all kinds of new elements in this first case that they didn't use before and they feel kinda sloppily done.

Any advice? I can't get through this stupid part, and of course, can't save, and can't skip!

update for anyone else who keeps having to do this part:

Here's how I finally got through it

Save your stanima for when the line from the gun is almost on you, then dodge to either side. Keep doing that. Take the path with the boulder, then take the path with the descent.

The cover didn't do ♥♥♥♥ for me. I just had to keep weaving last second when the orange line from the gun was on me.

oh wait false alarm, after the first bit you find a dead guy and it seems like it's done... but nope! faaack

I don't understand. Why do you think "cover" should be relabed as "target"?

Sherlock has a stamina bar at the bottom of the screen which allows him to run. You take cover behind objects to fill your stamina bar and to avoid getting shot. When you see a straight line appear behind him, it means he is about to get shot. He automatically takes cover when you stand behind the object, exactly where it says "cover".

There is also another bar at the top of the screen which indicates how close the hunter is to you. When you start running the distance between the hunter and Sherlock is lengthened while it becomes shorter when he spends time in cover.

You come across other elements such as making a choice between different paths and using detective sense to spot the safe approach in a certain location. But once you understand how it all works there shouldnt be a problem. It took me a single death at the very start to figure out the whole thing.

Have you seen the reviews by well seasoned gamers? I'm not the only one having trouble with this one by a long shot... but thanks I managed to figure it out without your help

For anyone else who is stuck here's how I finally got through it

*spoiler*

Save your stanima for when the line from the gun is almost on you, then dodge to either side. Keep doing that. Take the path with the boulder, then take the path with the descent.

The cover didn't do ♥♥♥♥ for me. I just had to keep weaving last second when the orange line from the gun was on me. I don't know if it was a big or what, but for the first two rounds I wasnt prompted with space bar or anything to actually USE cover.

You'll inspect a body

Next bit, after the body use the same technique, you'll come to a Fork that shows to the right with a mud slide, or to the left with a swamp. Take the swamp.

Here, "cover" actually works. So go to the first one, press space. Then press T. you will see a safe path to walk through the swamp to the next cover. Don't worry too much about the shooting, if you keep on the path after it dissapears and get to the next cover, it should miss you. Get to the next cover, press space, and then T again. You'll have to do this to get all the way across the swamp.

Once across the swamp you come to another body...
