Hell Is Us makes several daring decisions, such as depicting the brutal and unforgiving realities of war. One of the most important gameplay choices is leaving most of the discovery and exploration up to you. There are no quest markers or maps—just notes and your instincts guide you.
Early in the game, you’ll come across the Forlorn Fate Good Deed mission. In this task, two people are trapped and locked in, with no obvious way to free them. Since people can’t stay locked up forever, you need to find the key quickly, which involves a lot of traveling.
### How to Start the Forlorn Fate Good Deed
After entering the trenches in Senedra Forest, you can explore different locations, including the area near the cave’s entrance. Instead, follow the trenches until you’re walking above them, heading east. Along the way, defeat the Lymbic Entities, and you’ll encounter smaller sections of trenches that are cut off from the main ones. Proceed down these trenches to find a small room with a locked door, similar to the one in the earlier ruins from the Secrets of the Ram Mystery.
The doors are locked, and inside, you’ll hear someone calling out for help. Though you can’t respond, they will share information. They were locked in by someone helping them, but that person took the key with them. They fled back to Talju to find a map they had forgotten, and they are part of the Vanderlyn group. For now, that’s all you know, and it will be a while before you can do anything about it. So for now, just leave them be.
### Where to Find the Map for the Locked Door
To open this door later, you need to reach Talju, which becomes accessible after progressing far enough in the story. After you go beneath Lake Cynon to the Lymbic Forge and place the Keystone of Grief, you’ll start Act Two. This unlocks exploration of Hadea and allows you to find the remaining Keystones.
Head to Talju to find a mechanic named Boru Joven in the garage area. Talk to him to get a map of the town, which makes navigating much easier. Equip this map to your quick slots, and you’ll see the Vanderlyn Trust offices marked on the southwest side. This is your destination.
Make your way there, fighting enemies and unlocking shortcuts. Inside the building, you’ll discover the Symbol – Flame, which is used to open the locked door back in Senedra Forest, as well as the Map – Senedra Forest. Both are located in the same area, so no extra searching is needed.
With these items, you can leave Talju and return to the locked door in Senedra Forest, using the Symbol – Flame to open it.
### Returning the Map and the Key
Once you have the map and key, go back to the door and insert the Symbol – Flame to unlock it. Inside are two survivors, relieved to be freed. They mention they are not from here and are unsure how to navigate the mountains south of Hadea without their guide.
Fortunately, you found the map they were seeking in the Vanderlyn Trust building. Offer it to one of them in exchange for their thanks, the Cufflinks Research Item, and complete the Forlorn Fate Good Deed.
### Changes Based on Story Progress
As you progress through the story, the survivors’ desperation increases. The more Keystones you’ve collected and placed, the more distressed they become, crying out for help when you approach the door. If you gather all Keystones before freeing them, they will die, and the Good Deed will fail. Make sure to open the door before that happens, as failed Good Deeds don’t count toward your trophies or achievements.
### Additional Tips
– When the survivors mention they don’t know how to pass through the mountains, it’s crucial to give them the map you found. If you skip this step and continue the storyline, they will leave without your help, and you won’t receive any reward or closure. Avoid this by offering the map immediately.
– After completing the Good Deed, consider returning to Gildas at the Watcher’s Nest in Vyssa Hills for extra rewards.
### Note on Rewards
The rewards you get vary with each Good Deed, but it can be tricky to determine if you’ve submitted multiple ones at once. Pay attention to what you receive for each completed deed.
