Therapist — briefing

Hello again. I received a patient who was recently wounded in the resort cellars and barely escaped from this monster in a bull mask... Obvious mental trauma, perhaps more than one. But besides the stories about this Minotaur, the patient also mentioned many confinement and even torture chambers. You surely recognize the unacceptable nature of such human confinement, even under wartime conditions, so I am counting on your cooperation. We must get to the bottom of what is or was going on in these cellars. Explore those jail rooms and try to uncover any information or evidence that will help us find out who is responsible for what happened. And most importantly, what was the purpose of all these "experiments".

Objectives

• Locate the torture room inside The Labyrinth
• Locate and obtain any evidence of torture
• Hand over the found information

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO LOOK: the torture room at the centre of The Labyrinth. It is LOCKED, so first you work out how to open it.
• The tape spawns inside the room or right by it. Two known spots: on the bloodied table on the barrels in the central area, and by the barbed wire.
• There is an exit nearby that takes a special key, and that key drops from the map's boss.
• MIND THE WIRE: touching it inflicts the Unknown toxin and your health starts draining. Handy for another task, but here it only gets in the way.

On completion

Therapist: A video tape... You haven't watched it yet, have you? Now I know what is happening. I was wrong before. The resort was one of the evacuation points when it all started, and its cellars could have been used for, uh, different purposes... The situation wasn't so severe yet at that time, and they tried to isolate the deceased bodies from crowded places. This tape is definitely not a cause for concern... However, I would refrain from visiting these cellars if I were you. Ventilation in bomb shelters has always been a weak point, and humidity only contributes to possible intoxication...
