Netflix released the third season of Stranger Things on their premium streaming service, and it was accompanied by the release of Stranger Things 3: The Game, which is a multimedia tie-in with the show. Much like the previous two seasons (and previous two games), BonusXP’s third outing is a retro throwback to the 16-bit era of gaming, sort of like a mix of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Jurassic Park, and The Legend of Zelda all squeezed into one.

Well, if you’ve been having trouble trying to progress through the game, don’t worry about it…

there are Stranger Things 3 game walkthroughs. The Game walkthroughs are available to help you out whether you have the game on iOS, PS4, Android, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PC.

The first walkthrough is available via rrvirus. He covers the first chapter of the game, which you can check out below.

When you start the game you have the option of selecting “New Game” or “Eliminator”. However, you can’t start Eliminator because you have to unlock it first by playing through the New Game mode first.

Once you start a new game you can select the difficulty, either with Story Mode, Standard, or Master. If you’re not a complete noob, go with “Standard” and don’t be a pussy.

After a short cinematic you’ll start with Mike, who looks like an androgynous chick. He’ll be joined by Lucas.

You’ll need to collect Steve after talking to the kids upstairs. Go downstairs and head into Scoops Ahoy and head into the backroom to talk to Steve.

You’ll need to find Steve’s keys in order to access the corridors. Go over to the trash on the side of the room and whack it with the bat until you find Steve’s keys. Pick ’em up and take them to Steve. This will lead to the corridor that will then take you to the elevator. However, you need to restore the power to the elevator. Go talk to Ivan at the end of the corridor.

Ivan will task you with killing all the rats in the rooms before he will help you.

Kill all of the rats and then go talk to Ivan.

Ivan will give you a keycard to access the door that will allow you to turn the power on. Use the character swap on the pressure pads so you can open the doors and then flip the power switch to turn the elevator on.

Go into the elevator and attempt to find the back entrance to the theater.

You’ll need to wait for the guard to leave the room and walk into the next room and then flip the switch to lock him in the room.

Head up into the darkroom, kill the rats, and move into the room with all the pressure plates.

Stand on the plate in front of the satellite poster and the plate to the top right-hand corner of the room to open the door.

Make your way up through the corridors and kill the rats, flip the switch to open the door, and then kill the guard in the next room.

Flip the switch to open the door and get into the theater

A short cinematic will play.

You’ll learn how to use the special abilities at this point, where you can use Lucas to destroy the boulders blocking the path.

Special abilities require energy and you can only restore energy with coke.

Kill the bad guys in the forest.

In the bottom left-hand corner, you’ll find some boxes with money and supplies.

In the center bottom of the map, you’ll find the first Cerebro part inside of a locked case. You’ll need
Dustin to open the box.

Be sure to save up your energy with Lucas, however, because there’s another boulder blocking the path.

A small mini-game will pop up where you’ll need to press the corresponding button within a small time frame in order to complete the challenge.

When you get inside you’ll need to access the Rift Room in the basement.

On the first floor use Joyce to break open the door and then flip on the power. In the next room there’s a camera — you can’t cross it or else the alarm will go off. Use Joyce to break open the door and then quickly flip the switch in the corner to disable the alarm.

There are a bunch of Russians in the next room, so you might want to use some of your energy to clear them out.

With the Ruskies down, proceed into the next room and have Joyce cut through the doors and kill all the Russians. There are a bunch of beakers and rubbing alcohol in the cases inside the room. You can use Dustin to hack into the cases.

In order to get into the next area, have one person wait by the power switch and then have the other person stand by the door switch. Turn on the power with the person with the person standing by the power switch, and then use the person by the door to open the door to the Hawkins Lab basement.

In the basement you’ll need to collect components to craft a fuse, including duct tape, a spark plug, and wire spool.

You should already have some duct tape in your inventory, if not you’ll find some in the lab along with a wire spool.

Inside the lab you’ll need to turn on the power and exit the lab through the left side and then proceed west to turn on the power and get into the room.

There’s a power switch puzzle you’ll need to solve.

You’ll need to flip the power switch and off the power so the camera is deactivated so Hopper can go into the breaker room where there’s another power button.

Then use Joyce to deactivate the power in the hallway so Hopper can get get into the next room, step on the pressure plate to open the door for Joyce. Then use Joyce to deactivate the power so Hopper can go into the storage room and access the chest, which has the spark plug inside.

One Yearns for Power

One Looks to the Stars

The Other Seeks Knowledge, but All Seek The Dark.

The puzzle is that the first rat at the top of the room needs to face the poster. The second rate needs to face the switch. The third rate needs to face the northwest. Proceed to flip the power switch and the door will open.

Kill more of the scientists and Russians and then you’ll find another wire spool and duct tape inside the room along with a crafting table.

Craft the fuse using the parts you acquired.

Flip the switch in the room and then repair the rift room door.

Turn on the power and head into the next room. In the top right corner there’s a box with a clue inside, along with the bottom right corner of the room and the top left corner of the room.

Collect the clues and a cinematic will play.

Exit the room and kill the Russians and scientists — chase the intruder into the next room. There’s a gnome in the corner behind some boxes. You’ll need to step on the pressure pads to open the door to the button. Flip the power switch and then press the button. Exit the room and chase after the intruder to end the segment.

Once you get back to Hopper’s cabin, proceed to the Starcourt Scoops Ahoy and talk to Steve. Use the boom box to translate the Russian text and then talk to Robin.

Go outside the mall to the left hand side of the building and use Dustin to hack the silver door next to the docks. Also talk to the dock workers and they’ll reveal they work for the Lynx corporation.

Inside the building, kill the Russians, kill the rats, and collect the items in the storage area. In the bottom part of the map you’ll meet Ivan who will want you to collect certain items for him before he helps you.

You’ll need:
