Cronos: The New Dawn Full Walkthrough Guide

Cronos: The New Dawn is a new game from Bloober Team, the studio behind Silent Hill 2 Remake. You will take on the role of the Wanderer and unravel the tragedy that occurred in an alternate Poland. Since the game is a hardcore survival horror, you'll need to search for resources and conserve ammo. In this walkthrough, we'll help you find the optimal route and make sure you don't miss anything interesting.

After a short cutscene, answer the AI's questions about what you see on the screen. Your choices won't affect anything.

Wait until the exit from the Sarcophagus opens. One of the locks is stuck. As part of the tutorial, shoot it. Head straight towards the objective marker. Use the lanterns as a guide—they will show you the right path. Reach the door lit in red, activate the lock, and the shutters will lower.

Go inside. Immediately go up to the second floor, reading the notes on the walls. Punch through the wooden beams on the right, as well as the crate, to collect energy. To the left of this spot is a door you can open. There's more energy inside.

Go through the door you unlocked with your punch. Beyond it is a long corridor.

There's energy in the bathtub on the right. To the left, you can enter a room and then through a hole in the wall into another. The door is bolted, but you can open it. Pick up the old key on the floor nearby. Collect notes along the way. There's energy on the cabinet to the right. Exit into the corridor and use the key to open the locked door. Pick up chemicals on the table.

Crawl under the barrier. Downstairs, there is a descent and two crates. Break them and take the energy. There are two more energy packs in the room ahead. Now go down where the crates were. You'll end up in a room with mannequins.

The door ahead is locked with a code lock. Move to the left. There are chemicals on the table in the next hall.

Ahead is an audio recording and a save point. From the recording, you'll learn the code — 367. To the right, there's a fuse on the table. The slot for it is in a device a little behind you. You also need to find another one. Open the code-locked door. Inside are some supplies in crates. Exit through the door on the left and you'll return to the area with the generator and fuses. Go up the stairs to the second floor.

Jump over the gap and go through the wall ahead, collecting the energy. To the right of the gap is a place to descend. In the room with the clock straight ahead is another fuse. Turn around and you'll encounter your first enemy.

After winning, return to the generator and activate the gate to get back outside.

Go to the right. In the room, you can pick up supplies as well as a camera—a valuable item to sell. Go down the steps and turn left. Pick up the chemicals. Return to the main path and jump over the pipes.

Go left and you'll reach a ledge. Jump down and pick up supplies on the right. Approach the door on the left and listen to the audio recording.

Turn around. Under the ledge you jumped from, there's a passage. Ahead, another enemy will appear. Move forward, and don't miss the supply crate that's almost right in front of you.

Go left. Sneak through the barrier and follow the only path. When you see a passage to the left—on the right, there are large cabinets blocking the way to where the crate was. One of them can be moved to open the path. Now return to the fork and go down the main passage. In the room on the right, there's energy in the cabinet. In the far left corner, there's an audio recording. The door next to the recorder is locked. Go left. There's only one path. Eventually, you'll reach a counter where the shop key is lying. Slightly to the left, there's energy.

Right after, a monster will appear ahead. Kill it and unlock the shop. Pet the cat and collect resources. A bit further is an ammo storage. Ahead is a save point. There you can pick up a core. Nearby is a kind of workbench where you can slightly upgrade your equipment. The suit is upgraded with those cores, while weapons are upgraded with energy. Go to the end of the room and mark the terminal. For now, it is unavailable. Go through the open green door and listen to the recorder.

On the upper floor, there's another locked door. Go forward. Pay attention to the door on the right, locked with a chain.

You can't open it yet. At the end of the corridor on the left, there's a door you can unlock by breaking the boards with your fist. Inside, you'll be taught a new suit ability—the torch, which is essentially a flamethrower. Burn the biomass. In the newly opened room, you'll find the Wanderers' Hermetic Key.

Go out into the central corridor. Directly ahead is a passage blocked by biomass. Burn it.

Inside are resources. There you'll also find scrap metal suitable for crafting flamethrower fuel. Thanks to the hermetic key, you can open the locked door at the beginning of the corridor. Inside on the right is a terminal that will open the large gates in the central part to the left down the corridor.

Go outside. The prologue is complete.

Ahead and to the right, take the energy from the suitcase. Follow the only path, collecting resources until you reach a metal crate blocking the way. Move it.

There will be one enemy ahead. Eventually, you will descend into a tunnel. Take the flamethrower ammo. You can burn the bodies of the nearby creatures. There's a hole in the wall on the right. Crawl through it to collect resources and a core.

Return to the catacombs. Ahead are several crates and enemy bodies. Burn them, then go right. You won't make it to the new area—the gate will close, and creatures will appear. If you burned all the bodies before, only two will come out. When the passage opens, take the relic.

Now you can interact with anomalies. On the right is a pulsating orb. Using the new device, you will restore the bridge. Move forward and watch the cutscene. You have found your predecessor.

Ahead is another anomaly, use the relic on the cluster to open a passage. Walk across the platform and shoot the anomaly again to open the next passage. After the tram car, break the crates and move right.

Descend from the ledge and activate the anomaly again. In the newly opened passage, a creature will appear immediately. Don't miss the energy in the vehicle. Ahead is a tunnel with a monster.

After another anomaly, you will find yourself on the floor of a building. Go right. There are resources in the cabinets, and a recorder behind the counter. Walk along the second floor and descend from the ledge ahead. There is also an anomaly—activate it. You are in a former pharmacy. Explore it before going outside. At the far end is a save point. In the storage rooms, you can replenish your supplies.

Outside, a fight will start immediately, but both monsters can be quickly destroyed thanks to the red canister nearby. Go right and all the way to the end. The railway tracks are broken. Activate the anomaly at the very edge of the tracks, a bit to the left. Go right and descend.

Ahead are many enemies. Use explosive barrels to kill them with minimal shots. After the enemies, explore the left area and collect resources. There you will also find a valuable item to sell—an energy bank.

Stand on the slab affected by the anomaly and activate the cluster. This will lift you up. There is energy in the car on the left. In the building, there is a save room. You can also get a shotgun there.

Climb the stairs. Search the room and move the cabinet. You are in the corridor. Supplies are on the right. Enter the apartment and look at the house ahead.

That is where your target is.

Ahead, there is a breach in the wall. On the other side, break the boards to open the path. You will find yourself back in the corridor, after which the floor will collapse. Move straight along the flooded floor.

A tough fight with many enemies awaits you. After winning, instead of heading to the exit outside, turn left. Go to the end and collect resources, including a camera to sell.

Go outside. There will be an enemy and a crate on the right. You need to pass through a small park ahead.

This is quite a large area. You can explore the hardware store off the main objective route, but the doors are locked with a chain, and you have nothing to cut it with yet, nor a key.

To find the bolt cutter, head toward your main objective—the apartment building. Climb inside and go right. There’s a save room there. Then go up the stairs on the left. Beware of the green growths on the biomass, as they explode and cover the surface with acid. Later, they will also start crawling. On the top floor, there will be a couple more anomalies and acid clusters.

You’ll have to burn several sections of biomass. Note that sometimes there are barrels nearby that ignite when shot. After the second section, a creature will attack. Reach apartment 28. Clear it and collect resources, including an energy bank.

Next is apartment 29. Move the cabinet to get inside. You’ll encounter acid monsters. The small creatures crawl toward you to damage your suit. Shoot them all. Search the room and go out onto the balcony, then to the right. There you will find the key to the hardware store, where the bolt cutter is located.

Return, and you will be suddenly attacked by many creatures. If you don’t want to waste ammo, just run, move the cabinet again, and go down. Leave the building. You’ll have to pass through the park again, where many monsters are already waiting for you.

There are lots of resources in the hardware store. Take them, then go to the far corner and to the left. Shoot the canister through the window to clear the biomass from the passage to the room with the bolt cutter. You’ll immediately encounter a large, powerful mutant.

Defeating it won’t be easy. If there are still barrels in the park, it’s better to lure it outside and fight there, as there’s not enough room to maneuver in the store.

After the victory, return to the store, but instead of going left, head right. There’s another door with a chain, which is no longer an obstacle. There are lots of resources inside.

Go back a bit to the house you entered the park from the first time. There’s also a door with a chain.

Behind it, pet the cat and receive a device for unlocking doors. The nearest such door is in the save room on the first floor of the quest building. Inside, you’ll find a core.

Another door with a chain can be found in the room to the left of the main entrance to the story-related building.

Inside are valuable items, but a creature will appear at the exit.

Finally, you are ready to open the elevator doors with the bolt cutter, which is located next to the save room. Read the note and take the elevator up. Immediately aim upwards and activate the anomaly, then go right. When you go up the stairs, there’s a green door on the right. The boss is inside.

There haven’t been any monsters like this in the game before. To deal damage, first set it on fire with your tools or a barrel. Three yellow growths will appear on the monster’s body—two on its body and one on its head. The hardest part is hitting the one on the head, as the creature is constantly moving. Use the area as an arena to keep moving.

After the victory, head to the main objective—the time rift. You will find yourself in the past.

You will find yourself in an apartment. Examine all the numerous notes in the rooms. There is a safe in one of the rooms. The code is 811. You will receive information about the shelter. Go out to the floor and go down the stairs. As you pass by the painted door, you will hear a voice. Talk to the woman in the apartment, choosing any of the response options.

Continue moving down the corridor to the elevator. You will find yourself on the first floor. Enter the apartment where the save room was in the present. You can also save the game and heal here. Leave and get to the end of the floor, there is energy there. Now you can go outside.

Go to the right and pick up scrap metal near the bins.

The path leads through the familiar park to the tall building where you were in the present. Pay attention to the bunker highlighted in red — this is the shelter, but it is closed. You will have to find a key.

Go around the building on the right. Don’t miss the energy pickup. A cat will run by. Follow it. There is energy on the motorcycle.

Continue to circle around the house. There are chemicals near the trailer.

Open the gate to the park, but turn back to the house and go down to the basement. Cut the chain off the door with number 25 using the bolt cutters. Inside are resources and a valuable item.

Go even lower and move the fallen wardrobe. Be careful, there’s a creature in this area. After you defeat it, inspect the place where the monster came out. Pick up the shelter key. Several more enemies will immediately appear.

In the first area of the basement, there is another room marked with a “No Entry” sign. Inside you will find some resources.

Return to the street, go through the gate, and keep to the right. At the playground, pet the cat. You will receive a core.

The park is ahead of you again. You need to go to the large door highlighted in red, which leads to the shelter. Now it will open easily. Go down the stairs. Walk to the end of the corridor when you see the doors. Enter the left one. Here you can pick up energy. The door straight ahead leads to the bathroom, there is also energy here. Now go to the right passage. Watch the cutscene.

After the cutscene, you will find yourself in the old area on the street. You were here right after the prologue. Go down the stairs and approach the anomaly—a yellow clump directly on your path. There is a save room to the left. Restock your supplies there. You’ve been here before. It was on this floor that you first met the Torch—a portable flamethrower in a suit. Go right, but keep to the left. You will see a door with a chain.

Now you can cut it. There are many resources inside.

Go down the stairs to the right of the open room and turn left. The large gates were previously closed—this is the terminal. Now you have Edward’s essence, and the doors will open. Go to the room on the right. There are some resources there.

Go down the central staircase and turn right. Pick up lots of energy on the bench. In the far left part of this area, there is more energy on a bench. There is also a resource on the nearest left bench from the center, which is actually where you need to go.

Approach the red-lit panel in the floor and activate it. A cutscene and a mysterious Ascension procedure will begin. During it, the Wanderer will end up in someone’s apartment. Now you need to figure out what happened and where you are.

Pet the cat on the floor and read the note to the right. There are two more cats nearby. These are the ones you found earlier. You won’t get anything for interacting with them now.

In the next room is a save point. Continue through the sliding gates and watch the cutscene. You are in the same terminal hall as before. After the dialogue with the mysterious Watcher, go right to tram station A. This passage used to be closed.

Go forward and turn right. There is another anomaly with memory shards, as well as chemicals and energy.

Now go down to the platforms. Immediately to the left on a crate is energy. On the right is a save room and an audio recording. The passage forward is on the left. Inspect the platform next to the tram and pick up all available notes and resources. You need to go through the only available passage. Ignore the meowing for now, there’s nothing you can do about it.

There are several monsters behind the doors. Collect energy and scrap metal, then move on through the only door. You will find yourself in a corridor. There are no monsters here, and there is energy on the cabinet to the left before the exit. As soon as you leave, you’ll encounter a new monster that grabs the Wanderer with a long appendage and pulls him in. Use melee or the flamethrower to fight it off. There will be a low passage through the wall on the right.

In the next room, there are notes and ammo on the right. In the far left corner is a computer that will start the first generator. Now you need to find the second one. A door with enemies behind it will open immediately.

You will go back. One of the previously closed doors is now available.

Go through it and pick up the adapter that shows enemy health. This will help you distinguish among the bodies those who might attack you. Go down the stairs. There will be lots of energy and an audio recording here. Go through the hole in the wall and you’ll end up in an infected area. Move carefully, using the new device to check the monsters on the walls. On your way, pay attention to the energy on the shelf.

Don’t go through the door, but continue down the corridor. On the right, there will be a turn with a crate. Be careful, to the right of the crate is a mutant on the wall. At the end of the corridor is a door with a chain. Behind it are valuable items and resources. Now you can return to the doors you saw earlier. Break the crate on the left and pick up the metal on the right. Ahead is another corridor with biomass and mutants. There is also energy lying in the corners. Eventually, you will reach the second computer, next to which are some resources. Activate the second generator and go through the nearest door on the left. There’s a monster behind it.

Return the same way. When you reach the stairs, you’ll meet two creatures that vomit acid.

After the fight, return to the platform, but don’t go to the tram—instead, keep to the right. There you’ll find a room that was previously locked. It’s easy to find by the sound of a cat meowing. There’s also an audio recording and supply crates here.

Go to the tram and examine its rear part. There’s energy on one of the seats. Now go forward until the cutscene. After the cutscene, transfer a new entity to yourself. Start the tram.

Upon arrival, you will find yourself in an unknown location. You need to find a new Dive Point. Exit to the left and keep to the left. There’s energy near the benches. A bit further ahead is a place to upgrade and save. A little further ahead is a passage through a grate. There are crates with resources there.

After that, from the save room, go left if you stand with your right side to the station.

In the next large hall, keep to the right. There is a room with resources there.

Go outside and watch the cutscene. You are not far from the plant. There’s energy on the boxes to the left. On the right is a large tent, but there are very few resources there.

Go through the gates to the next area, there are crates on the right. Find the red lamps—they show the way through the storm. Be careful, creatures can hide in the sand.

Along the way, there will be more crates with resources and weak enemies. Ahead, a cave with an anomaly will appear. Activate it with the beam and a barrel will appear. You can blow it up to burn the biomass ahead. Note that the anomaly can be activated again—this is an important point that will come in handy very soon.

Next, you will find a large open space. There is energy by the crates ahead. The Wanderer will encounter several enemies. The good news is that there are several infinite anomalies in the area, where you can create barrels. There are also supply crates along the edges. Find the old railcar here as well.

Inside are resources and a valuable item. Upon exiting, you will be met by an enhanced creature.

When you decide to go forward through the arch, another strong monster will jump out.

After your victory, in the next area, keep to the left and you will find an anomaly with echoes of the past.

There is also a crate and resources near the truck. Return to the center of the area. There is a cliff to the right, so keep moving forward. Again, stay to the left—there are crates.

Ahead is the plant. Slightly to the left is an open passage. Inside, in the first room, there is an anomaly, and in the second, resources. Activate the anomaly and look up—there is a second one. Now head to the main entrance of the plant. Deactivate the anomaly you see in the gap in the wall on the left and stand on the platform to the right. Now activate the anomaly to rise to the second floor.

Move into the plant, go down the stairs, crates are on the left. You need to go right. In the crate at the exit is energy.

In the inner courtyard, go into the small room on the left and pick up the energy. Ahead is a generator missing a fuse. Turn to face the plant and keep to the right—in the far corner there is a container with a chain. Inside are resources. You need to go to the staircase in the left corner. After the cutscene, listen to the audio recording. You need to find anti-gravity equipment. There is also a save room and a fuse here. Pick up the new device on the table—a portable burner, or in simple terms, a sticky bomb.

Return to the generator and install the fuse. The nearby door will open. Ahead is another tunnel with biomass. In the room, there will be two monsters and some energy. Turn right, and another creature will come out of the mass. Don’t miss the energy on the left.

There is another, larger room ahead. A monster will appear at the entrance. Pick up scrap metal from the shelf. Just ahead is a room with a column of biomass in the center. Here you will find a large cluster of enemies. On the table directly opposite the entrance is energy. There is also a cabinet on the left that can be moved to open a passage. Inside will be a locker room and a save room. On the right is another cabinet that can be moved. Behind it is a hole in the wall. Go through it and turn left—there are two crates. There are two exits from the room. Right in front of you is one highlighted in green, and another to the right, which can only be accessed after killing two infected on the wall. Inside, there will be a shower room and a couple of monsters on the walls. You will also find a core and scrap metal.

Go through the main door and kill several monsters. There are some resources ahead. Head to the left. Here you’ll find a table with two sets of energy and a container hanging on the wall, just like in the save room. Then you’ll go outside again. On the left is a staircase that will return you to the save room and open a shortcut.

From the place where you entered the new area, turn right and go to the corner. The entrance to the tent is blocked by biomass, which you can burn. Inside you’ll find lots of energy. On your way back, a creature will appear.

Opposite is a tent with a few resources. Outside, go all the way to the end and turn right—you’ll see a green door. To the right, you may find a crate. Going through the door, you’ll find yourself in a heavily infected area with a strong armored enemy. In this same hall, you can find a core and a door locked with a chain. Inside are resources and a valuable item.

Now go outside through the only available door. In the far left corner, there’s another door. Behind it is a monster and an anomaly.

Straight ahead on the table are resources, but be careful—a mutant is on the wall to the left. A little further ahead is a crate, and behind the wall on the left is another mutant. To the right, you can see some flammable biomass—remove it to unlock the second anomaly. Activate it first, and then the one you saw at the start. The barrel will roll away, opening an extra passage. There’s another mutant on the wall to the left, and a crate to the right. Keep to the right wall and break the boards blocking the passage into the room. Inside are a note and energy, as well as a third anomaly above. Exit and go up the stairs.

At the fork, turn left. You’ll enter a room with a note. It contains the access code—364. Go down, taking the right path at the fork, and head outside. The code-locked door is on the left, but the code is not for it. Go back. Exit to the part of the yard where the tents and the stairs to the save area were. There are iron gates signed HALA B. That’s what the code is for.

Immediately look to the right—in the opened passage is a monster. To the right of it is energy. Continue down the passage, picking up resources along the way. When you go through another green door, you’ll find yourself surrounded by enemies. Note that there are non-aggressive creatures here. Energy is scattered in the corners of the room. On the way out, go up the stairs and keep to the right wall. There will be a save room and the master key for most of the doors in the plant.

Go out and head straight to the door. Before entering, turn left—there’s a crate. Now open the door with the master key. Inside is a room with acid growths and crawling mutants.

To the right, find a hole in the wall. Behind it is a small area with resources, but you won’t be able to go any further. The main passage ahead is blocked by an anomaly. There are breaches to the left and right. Go right first and break the crates. Now go left. There will be even more acid growths, but you can shoot one and the rest will explode in turn.

Pay attention to the flammable biomass on the left. Behind it are several crates. In this same room, you’ll find access to an anomaly, and you can also break the boards on the left to open a passage outside. There is a valuable item there.

Return to the room where the passage was blocked by the anomaly. Now you can go further. Turn left and collect the resources in front of the door leading outside. Once outside, go straight and you’ll reach the save room. Exit back and jump down next to the yellow breach. A couple of strong enemies will appear.

After the fight, move the metal container on the left to create a shortcut to the very beginning, then go right into the only available door. Right above you is a large anomaly. Activate it to proceed. There you’ll find a body and the code for the door — 729.

Go back and pass through the way you made by moving the container. Take a shortcut through the save room. You’ll end up in the area with the tents. Near the tent that was previously blocked by biomass, there’s a door. Now you can open it. Inside are resources.

You need to open the second code-locked door that was previously blocked. You’ll come out into a spacious area where you can’t see anything because of the sand. Here, monsters will again jump out from the mounds. Go left and collect energy. A bit further ahead you’ll encounter a large number of enemies. As before, use the red lamps to guide you along the correct path. At the exit, you can find some ammo and energy. Also, search the entire open area for supplies in crates.

When walking between the tank cars, don’t go up the ladder highlighted in red, but head to the far part of the location—there’s a crate. Now you can go up the ladder.

Turn around and go straight ahead. On the shelves are chemicals. You need to move on and jump down from the platform. Keep to the left to pick up scrap metal. Now return to the place where you jumped down, turn your back to the objective marker, and go forward and to the right.

You’ll see another red lamp and several passages. First, go straight. Here is a room with acid clots, supplies, and one monster. Exit and turn left into the lit room. There’s a chained door. Behind it are lots of supplies and a core. Several enemies will appear at the exit. Follow the objective marker. A cat will run out from the door on the right. Explore the room where the animal was—you’ll find crates and energy. For now, you can’t get through the anomaly where the cat ran, so move left into the quarantine zone.

Chemicals are on the right, and energy is on the left. Your path lies between the beds and white screens. Keep to the right to pick up energy.

Climb to the second floor. Here you’ll find a fork—straight ahead or up the ramp to the right. First, go straight; there will be crates and notes on the left. Now climb the ladder.

On the right is a green door, behind which is a save room. In it, you will find a new upgrade for the pistol, turning it into a submachine gun. Go through the next door, also in the save room.

Move forward until you see a monster crawling on the ceiling. You need to kill it the same way as usual. When you go down through the hole in the floor, there are crates on the right. Ahead are more crawling monsters, so watch the ceiling. Find the collapsed concrete blocks in the arena; if you climb a bit higher on them, you’ll see the body of another Wanderer.

From him, you will finally pick up the gravity boots.

The nearest suitable surface for them is very close; the camera will point you in the right direction. By standing on the moving cubes, you can climb up a sheer wall, then aim at the blue highlighted square, and the heroine will automatically jump to this platform. This way, you’ll find yourself on the ceiling.

Break the boards ahead and magnetize to another platform. Go to the end and activate the anomaly on the left. Go back a little, and a new platform will appear ahead.

Continue moving to the room. On the left are resources and a note. Jump into the breach and you’ll find yourself in front of the save room you were in recently. Save your progress, then exit through the other door. Right in front of you is a zone for a gravity jump. After that, look to the right—a platform. Now to the left—another platform. You’ll reach a fork. One way is forward and up, the other is right and down. From this spot, look a little to the right and up—you’ll see an anomaly. Immediately activate it. Now go forward and up. You’ll end up near the area where the cat ran earlier.

Descend from the gravity surface and go into the open door. There you’ll find the cat, a note, a couple of crates, and some energy. Exit, look to the left and up—magnetize to the surface. Using various platforms, return to the save point where you received the task to find the gravity boots.

You have only one path, which will eventually lead you to the rift to the past.

After teleporting, you will begin searching for Arthur Baryka. Immediately to the right, pick up some energy.

A little ahead and to the left on the table are crates. On the right is an important audio recording and supplies. Go up the stairs to the control room. Read the notes, then go through the door. In the room on the right, there’s a note, but you need to go left down the corridor. Pay attention to another door on the right—there is an audio recording there. Now just keep moving forward until the cutscene. Once you regain control, head to the stairs and keep moving forward. You won’t encounter any resistance along the way, even though there are monsters around.

At a certain point, move the fallen cabinet. In the large room, move another cabinet in the far left corner.

You won’t have time to do this, as enemies will appear. After defeating them, do what you intended to proceed further. In the room on the right, take the energy and examine the note with a photo. Head to the stairs.

You will find yourself on the office floor. Immediately go left onto the balcony.

There you can pick up a valuable item. Search the offices until you reach the last door. It will lead you outside. Keep going until you reach the save room. From there, jump over the obstacle into the red-lit corridor. You will come to the second major boss in the game. It’s a large mass of bodies resembling an animal.

Defeating it is fairly simple—lure the monster to the columns and blow up the barrels. The creature will break walls, opening new areas with barrels and supplies. After the victory, pick up the energy from the boss and go through the passage. Watch the cutscene. You will have a choice of which brother’s essence to take. This will not affect the ending, so you can decide as you wish or based on the bonuses. Gabriel gives buffs for the shotgun, while Arthur gives buffs for the pistol. After making your choice, the Wanderer will automatically return to the present and reach the terminal by tram.

Upon returning to the terminal room, the Wanderer will find the device turned off. Go towards the sound of music into the diner on the left. After the cutscene with the Watcher, you need to find the switch. Climb the stairs and go right to the anti-gravity surface.

You’ll find yourself in a restaurant. There are several notes here. Go through the green door. Crawl through the breach in the wall and keep going until you see an anomaly.

Activate it to continue your way. Then you need to turn the anomaly off and on again until you reach the chained door. Inside there are lots of supplies. Go back a little and go down the steps to the lower floor.
