Finding Ethan in the Murky Depths: Navigating the Wrecked Ship in Resident Evil 7

In Resident Evil 7, the search for Ethan Winters often leads players down dark and dangerous paths. On the Wrecked Ship, finding Ethan becomes a desperate race against time and terrifying creatures. You’ll find Ethan embedded in some goo on the bottom level of the ship. Your next stop is to venture down there.

Navigating the Wrecked Ship: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Wrecked Ship is a multi-layered environment. You’ll need to understand its layout and key locations. Here’s how to effectively navigate and pinpoint Ethan’s location:

• Initial Entry: Your journey starts on the upper levels of the ship. The key is to systematically work your way down.
