I used explosives to manipulate tar levels and reach higher ground. After ambushing two Bedlam Raiders and a droid companion, I discovered an echo near a corpse that revealed the Raiders true nature. I finally reached a meditation point near the giant creature to rest.
I had to take help from a YouTube gameplay to understand actually what I had to do in this confusing section. At last, I understood I could actually throw that explosives towards the wall that was holding back the sludge.
Once the wall exploded, more tar fell down into the chamber, which increased the density and made us float safely above the hazard. It was a clever environmental puzzle that required precise timing to clear the path forward.
I unlocked another shortcut nearby to make future travel easier, and then I faced this small droid that asked for my help. It wanted me to retrieve their stuck ship, which was wedged badly in the thick tar.
Unfortunately, despite my efforts, I couldn't help him move the massive vessel with my current abilities, so I had to leave the poor machine behind to search for another way out.
I continued my movement instead of lingering at the crash site. It looked like we finally saw our way out just past that big creature looming in the distance.
There was this droid on my way that was guarding an edge. I stayed low and moved quietly to find a chance to take it down in a stealth attack from behind.
Then I found a Bedlam Raider walking along with a droid further down the path. The Raider was talking to the machine as if it were a living companion, unaware that I was watching them from the high ground.
As they were positioned right below me, I took the opportunity to jump on the Raider and took him down real fast while the droid continued walking ahead. It hadn't yet realized its partner had been neutralized.
I didn't give the droid a chance to attack me, just like the other encounters I had survived earlier. I attacked it real fast before its shields could fully deploy and took it down by slicing it into two pieces.
Then another Bedlam Raider came forward to fight me. I didn't notice exactly where this raider was, but I had to take him down as well in a brutal battle.
I found this dead body on my way, and there I sensed a echo lingering around the remains. The vision told me that these Raiders are nothing but heartless killers who have no respect for life. It was a grim reminder of why I needed to be careful while exploring these parts.
I went ahead and found this meditation point. I could see the giant creature was actually not so far from me anymore. I saved the game there and decided to take some rest before facing whatever challenges the beast would present next.
That's all for this session. More moments coming soon and thanks for checking it out.

It was brilliant getting help from YouTube. I sometimes take help from google, especially when I don't find safe codes in Last of Us 2 that I'm playing nowadays.
Yeah, sometimes a quick check saves a lot of time. Sometimes it is better to keep things moving.

After solving the dangerous puzzle, you finally managed to raise the sludge high enough to reach the upper platform. What looked impossible at first became one of the most satisfying moments once you understood how to use the explosives.
True, once the mechanic becomes clear, everything falls into place smoothly.
The stealth drop on that Raider was executed with perfect timing. Great job staying focused on the mission despite the distractions.
That Raider did not even get a chance to react.
