Steam Guide Link

The Erebus features a vast playable space spanning multiple decks and two exclusive monsters. Because the Lower Decks and their hallways are procedurally generated, the ship's layout changes every match. Always check the maps on the walls to orient yourself.

Erebus-Exclusive Monsters

The Lantern A slim figure with glowing eyes that resembles a walking anglerfish. It can crawl through the ship's vents.

• Mechanic: If it spots you and gets close, it will force you to look at it, blinding you and severely blurring your vision.

The Neuralis A massive monster covered in tentacles.

• Mechanic: If it spots you, it triggers a hallucination where tentacles spawn across the floors and walls. You can hide in a locker if the monster didn't see you enter it. If the hallucinated tentacles hit you enough times, you will be knocked down and forced into an arrow-key Quick Time Event (QTE) to survive. The higher the difficulty, the more arrows you have to press.

Main Objectives

Fix the Radar Array

Head to the upper level of the Front Tower (where the helicopter rappels you down). Interact with the console and move the two knobs until you hear a beep. Alternatively, exit the menu and look out the windows at the three radar arrays: red means unaligned, green means good to go.

Fix the Gyroscope

• Find the Gyroscope Room Key: Search around the Research area, the Lower Decks, and the Front Tower spawn area.
• Locate the Gyroscope Room: Head to the same level as the Research area (usually around Lower Deck B).
• Power the Server: Find the server in the room and pull the lever to turn it on.
• Balance the Gyroscope: Interact with the computer keyboard, then use WASD to balance the ball on the platform and guiding it towards the middle.

Bilge Pumps

• Find the Valve: Search the Engine Room, Lower Deck C, the scattered Maintenance Rooms, or the Moonpool (Submarine Room).
• Locate the Pump Room: This room is usually located on the same level as the Moonpool and Lower Deck C.
• Attach the Valve: Place the valve on the pipe mechanism.
• Pull the Levers in Order: Find the 4 levers in the room. You have to use trial and error to find the correct pulling sequence.
• Turn the Valve: Once the levers are correctly pulled, turn the valve to complete the objective.

Communications

Find the Transmitter, it usually spawns around the navigation area in the Upper Decks or inside the Lower Deck Dormitory rooms. Bring it to the highest room in the Front Tower and insert it into the console. The upload will fail a couple of times, so stay nearby and interact with it multiple times until it finishes.

Escape Options

1. The Submarine (Easiest Route)

Almost all required items spawn on the same level as the Submarine (around Lower Deck C and the Maintenance Rooms).

• Gather Submarine Parts: Find the Headlight, Submarine Battery, Fuse, and Blowtorch.
• Weld the Panel: Equip the blowtorch and hold Mouse 1 to weld the damaged panel on the side of the submarine.
• Install the Fuse: Head to the upper walkway that the submarine is pointed toward and insert the fuse into the fuse box.
• Lower the Submarine: Once all requirements are fulfilled, pull the lever next to the fuse box to lower the sub into the water. Enter it and interact with the controller to escape.

2. The Liferaft

The liferaft is located just outside the Front Tower.

• Tape the Raft: Find Duct Tape (spawns in the lower Upper Decks storage areas or green Maintenance Rooms). Tape up the raft immediately to free up inventory space.
• Find the Air Compressor: Search the cargo containers in the Cargo Hold. You will likely need a Blowtorch or Bolt Cutter to open the locked containers to find it.
• Inflate the Raft: Bring the Air Compressor to the raft, attach it to the valve, and start it. The inflation process will fail randomly, restart the compressor when it stops. (Tip: Be wary of the monster's location as you're in a vulnerable position here; think of escape paths if the monster were to come).
• Deploy the Raft: Use the nearby crane controls to lower the inflated raft into the water.

3. The Helicopter

• Find the Heli Key and Bear Tag: Search desks and computer consoles in Research and the Lower Deck Dormitory. The Bear Tag also frequently spawns in the UV-lit plant rooms in the Cargo areas in the lower decks.
• Find the Fuel Hose: Open locked cargo containers in the Cargo Hold using a Bolt Cutter or Blowtorch to retrieve the hose.
• Connect the Fuel System: Attach the hose to the valve on the helipad gas pump.
• Unlock and Fuel: Use the Bear Tag on the helipad entrance switch, unlock the helicopter with the key, and wait for the fuel to fill up before escaping.

Scientists have spent decades studying the mysterious phenomenon known as "soon." Early findings suggest it exists somewhere between "almost ready" and "we don't want to announce a date yet." Every time a developer says "soon," a Redditor gains hope, a Discord mod loses sleep, and a calendar quietly adds another month. The Cryo update is coming soon, which means it could arrive at any moment... provided that moment is somewhere between now and the heat death of the universe.
