FEAR 3 Walkthrough Video Guide (PC, Xbox 360, PS3)

FEAR 3 walkthrough box artwork
Our FEAR 3 walkthrough will guide you through the beginning to ending moments of gameplay for this latest title in this visceral first-person shooter horror series for PC, Xbox 360 & PS3.

Nine months ago, Point Man and his F.E.A.R. squad were tapped to stop a telepathically gifted cannibal who had begun a murderous rampage. Point Man learned the target was his brother, Paxton Fettel, working alongside their tortured and psychically powerful mother, Alma Wade.

Despite this revelation, Point Man followed orders to destroy them and subsequently ravaged the surrounding city and most of his F.E.A.R. team. Now, it is clear that Alma’s psychic influence survived — and worse, she is about to birth something that could destroy the world.
Fettel has returned from death with an unclear agenda, refusing to leave Point Man’s side and asking for help to reach Alma. The remaining F.E.A.R. squad is still trying to complete their mission. With his chain of command broken and Point Man calling his own shots, where will his allegiance lie?

F.E.A.R. 3 AKA F.3.A.R. introduces divergent co-op, giving players distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. Gamers participate in single player or co-op modes as Point Man, a genetically enhanced super soldier originally introduced in F.E.A.R., or they can play cooperatively as his conniving brother Paxton Fettel, whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave.

Please note that viewers must be at least 18 to watch, so no harm comes to those with innocent eyes.

FEAR 3 Walkthrough

Game Introduction:

F.E.A.R. 3 is a First-Person Shooter (FPS) that blends classic single and multiplayer combat with the unforgettable Horror/Survival gameplay that the F.E.A.R. franchise is known for. The third game in the F.E.A.R. series, F.E.A.R. 3 continues the intricate storyline tying together the psychically dangerous mother Alma Wade with her two sons “Point Man” and Paxton Fettel, as well as the F.E.A.R. operations team. Players take control of both “Point Man” and Paxton Fettel at different times in the game, utilizing each’s unique abilities and powers in a dark adventure that will test the player’s loyalties, combat skills and sense of duty. Additional features include: co-op and multiplayer modes, cinematics and story input by John Carpenter and Steve Niles, and additional downloadable content (DLC) available online.

As with the previous two releases in the F.E.A.R. Franchise, F.E.A.R. 3 is a FPS with Horror gameplay. Players experience action both from perspective of Paxton Fettel – resurrected from the headshot he received in the previous game – and his brother Point Man, who was the trigger man. Since Fettel was indeed killed in the earlier encounter, his presence in the game is almost ghostlike, with he relying on a devastating range of telekinetic powers, including the ability to possess the bodies of the living in order to perform certain physical tasks. Point Man on the other hand is quite corporal and is a super soldier with expertise in a wide range of weaponry. He also has loyalties to the A.I. F.E.A.R. operatives that populate the game. The problem with this is that the operative’s goal is to eliminate the growing power of Alma, the mother of both Point Man and Paxton Fettel. Because of this layers will face choices that will pit duty against family loyalties. Both characters have access to mech units encountered throughout the game.

Main Game Features:

  • Divergent Co-op – Deep, social gameplay that gives players distinctly different abilities.
  • Experience the Almaverse – New sinister enemy creatures birthed in Alma’s warped mind spill into reality.
  • Generative Scare – Increases the feeling of isolation and unpredictability by offering new experiences each time.
  • Masters of Horror – Legendary director John Carpenter and writer Steve Niles provide their expertise on cinematics and story.
  • Multiplayer – A twist on classic multiplayer modes set inside the Almaverse provide an experience unique to F.E.A.R. 3.

Experiencing the FEAR – Set the Tone:

When preparing to play FEAR 3, match your setting to the game’s mood for optimal terror. Just like when watching a horror movie, FEAR 3 should be played in surroundings that help trigger trepidation: a cool room with the only light being the glow of the TV, a midnight session with a friend, or an isolated and silent basement with the only sounds around you being the creaking of your house and the screams radiating from the game. Do whatever it takes to stimulate your fear.

The game was designed to be played in co-op mode as well, so be sure to find a buddy to play with and do a full exploration of the co-op play and the scoring system.

The Lay of the Land – Story Overview:

Nine months ago, the First Encounter Assault Recon squad, also known as F.E.A.R., was ordered to stop a man who was telepathically controlling a unit of super soldiers in the city of Fairport. Point Man, an elite combatant with no memory of his past, led the mission. After entering Fairport, Point Man and his team encountered horrifying visions and some experienced sudden, gruesome deaths. The team soon discovered the paranormal disturbances were actually psychic attacks from the team’s target, Point Man’s long forgotten brother, the cannibal Paxton Fettel, and the brothers’ tortured and psychically powerful mother, Alma.

Although Point Man discovered his blood ties and his past, he chose to follow F.E.A.R. team orders to eliminate Fettel and Alma at any cost. After putting a bullet in Fettel’s brain and much brutal fighting, Point Man triggered a blast that ravaged the city of Fairport and killed most of his squad mates. However, it seemed he had successfully completed the mission to eliminate Alma, as well.

As the months passed, Point Man discovered the blast was unsuccessful. Alma’s powers continued to grow, and she became pregnant with another child — its birth is imminent. Then, Fettel returned from the dead as a paranormal and refused to leave his brother’s side. Although Point Man remains unsure of his brother’s intentions, he is willing to endure Fettel — for now — if his presence aids him in reaching Alma before she gives birth. Stepping back onto the streets of Fairport, the brothers are braced for a family reunion.

The Almaverse – Game Atmosphere:

Alma’s psychic horrors have spread throughout the city of Fairport, unleashing beasts born from her mind and causing pockets of paranormal anomalies as her contractions intensify. While entering areas under Alma’s influence, Point Man and Fettel’s vision may become blurred, they may encounter unknown and violent creatures, and they may experience hallucinations or sightings of Alma.

Hint: Oftentimes, a woman’s scream precedes the brothers’ entrance into an area dominated by Alma’s mind.

COOK it. . .and direct hit at close range. NOW. . jump out and blast continually w/ laser or at least HEAVY machine gun untill the grenade stops. Do it again. . . .untill you kill it. Dont let it start firing on you at close range. . . keep it disabled w/ the grenades. Killed it in about a minute.
