Chapter 3 challenges — Returning Home

A source-based overview of the six challenges in Chapter 3, including campfire, weight-bench and motorcycle context executions and the neighborhood clear.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Chapter 3 challenges focus on Tier 3 Stalk context executions (Jennifer at the campfire, Thomas at the weight bench, Marcus at the motorcycle), killing Gloria and Keith, three Wood Axe kills, and clearing every resident in the neighborhood. Preserve the correct targets and the Wood Axe until the required counts are complete.

  3. Execute Marcus using the motorcycle (Tier 3 Stalk)
  4. Kill Gloria and Keith
  5. Kill three targets with the Wood Axe
  6. Kill every resident in the neighborhood

Context executions and Tier 3 Stalk

The cited guides emphasize building Tier 3 Stalk before grabbing Jennifer, Thomas or Marcus. Approaching from the recommended side (especially for Jennifer) and completing the stalk meter first is reported as necessary for the context prompt to count toward the challenge.

Do not cash out these encounters at a lower stalk tier if you are trying to complete the corresponding challenge in the same run.

Wood Axe and full neighborhood clear

Keep the Wood Axe after you obtain it and use it for three confirmed kills before switching weapons. The neighborhood-clear objective is described as the most time-consuming: check houses, yards and distant corners, and use Detection Pulse if available to locate remaining residents.

If a completed condition still does not register

Treat it as a tracking issue and follow Challenges not counting. Change one variable at a time so the next attempt produces useful evidence.

Questions before you retry

Do I need Tier 3 Stalk for the campfire / weight-bench / motorcycle kills?

The cited guides treat Tier 3 Stalk as required before the grab for those three context executions.

Can the Wood Axe challenge be combined with the full clear?

Yes in principle, provided you keep the axe until three kills are counted and then finish clearing the remaining residents.
