Walkthrough Hub

Welcome to the central walkthrough hub for Clawed, the survival horror experience from Flatrock Games set inside the abandoned Prehistoria dinosaur theme park on Steam. Whether you are playing solo or coordinating with up to three friends in online co-op, this section organizes every major objective in the playable demo into a clear order so you never backtrack blindly or waste ammunition on optional detours. Start with the Demo Walkthrough for a full run from the monorail arrival through the ferry escape, then use the specialized pages when you get stuck on a single gate, puzzle, or predator encounter.

The demo is deliberately structured as a chain of locked zones. Each area teaches a different survival skill - stealth past enclosures, resource management in shelters, underwater navigation, and timed escapes from apex predators. Understanding that structure matters more than memorizing every hallway. Early progression hinges on finding the gate card in the first shelter, which opens the park interior. The shotgun in the second shelter becomes your first reliable defense against smaller threats. Mid-run objectives pull you toward the staff center for the museum key, the toilet block for a critical fossil, and the maintenance shed opposite the Spinosaurus circle for shed access and a fuse puzzle. Late demo goals include the assault rifle at the ranger station, an underwater segment following red lights, and the ferry key hidden inside a maze before a final push to extraction.

Use this hub as your table of contents. The Demo Walkthrough page walks through the entire sequence with landmark callouts and co-op role suggestions. When a door code, button order, or environmental clue stops your team, open Puzzle Solutions for the museum fossil lock, underwater button route, and fuse panel logic. If you only need a checklist of pickups, Key Locations lists every card, key, tool, and weapon with the nearest landmark and recommended pickup order. Cross-reference the Prehistoria Overview and Demo Route map pages when you need spatial context - knowing which tunnel connects the museum to the south gate saves minutes of panic running.

Co-op teams should split responsibilities instead of clumping in every room. One player can scout while another holds a choke point with the shotgun; a third can solve panel puzzles while the fourth watches rear corridors for Utah Raptor flanks. Communication matters near the Spinosaurus enclosure and any segment where a dinosaur bite triggers a green card drop - call out who picks up access items so the group does not scatter keys across the map. Classic mode favors exploration; Survival mode tightens resources and raises threat frequency, so follow the same route but prioritize the assault rifle and spare healing before optional lore rooms.

Threat management ties directly into our Dinosaur Tier List and Weapons Tier List. Utah Raptors punish isolated players in narrow tunnels; Deinosuchus and Megalodon dominate aquatic spaces; Spinosaurus patrols the maintenance loop and will end a run if you engage without a plan. The pistol is a last resort, the shotgun stabilizes mid-tier encounters, and the assault rifle is reserved for apex zones or co-op covering fire. Do not waste shotgun shells on single raptors when a stealth path exists - ammo is scarce until the ranger station.

Before diving into step-by-step sections, confirm your controls and audio settings. Footstep noise attracts predators; crouch-walking through staff corridors and museum galleries is often faster than sprinting into an ambush. Mark completed objectives on the Key Locations checklist so everyone in co-op shares the same state. If you are brand new to movement, inventory, and revive mechanics, read Getting Started first, then return here for route planning.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Where should I start the Clawed demo walkthrough?

Begin with the Demo Walkthrough page for the full monorail-to-ferry route, then keep Key Locations open as a pickup checklist during your run.

Does co-op change the walkthrough order?

The objective sequence is the same in co-op, but split roles: one player solves puzzles, others watch for raptors and call out key drops like the green card after dino bites.

Which page covers the museum fossil and fuse puzzles?

Puzzle Solutions explains the toilet block fossil, south tunnel museum key, underwater red-light buttons, and the maintenance shed fuse panel step by step.

How do walkthroughs connect to the map section?

Use Demo Route for the linear sequence and Prehistoria Overview for biome and tunnel layout when you need to orient between shelters, staff areas, and aquatic zones.

Is this walkthrough valid for Survival mode?

Yes. The same keys and puzzles apply; Survival mode demands stricter ammo conservation and faster predator avoidance - prioritize shotgun and assault rifle pickups early.
