The Stench from the Trench Walkthrough
Investigate the Haunting of Andrew Whyte
Enter the bunkhouse on the eastern side of Fort Jericho just before Pennington’s office then inspect the following items on the far left side of the room:
- Box on bookshelf between the bunks
- Andrew Whyte’s Wife Letter on the bottom bunk
- Andrew Whyte’s Promotion Letter on stool to the left of the bunk
Next, head to the infirmary on the northwestern side of the fort. In the nurse’s office, interact with the document next to the box on the bookshelf to learn a little more about Andrew’s illness. Afterwards, interact with the box.
To find Andrew’s record, travel to the armory on the southwestern side of town next to the main gate.
Once inside, head downstairs to the lower level and inspect the door to the storeroom to find that it’s locked. Exit the building then head to the right and hug the building to find a ledge that you can climb up. Continue up to the top level and inspect the writing on the bookshelf.
Talk to Andrew
Now that you’ve learned more about the situation, start heading back to Andrew, and a ghost will appear. Speak with the ghost!
Follow the ghost
Switch to Antea then interact with the ghost’s footprints and follow the trail. After crossing the bridge, the ghost will stop and you’ll need to use Reveal. Afterward, continue following the trail, fighting the enemies along the way. Eventually, you’ll reach some spectral writing on the wall. Inspect it!
After reading the sayings, head to the left and use Reveal. Crawl through the opening, then continue following the trail. Eventually, you’ll reach a large rock monument.
Investigate the pistol on the monument. Next, speak with the ghost of Joshua who will appear.
Confront Andrew
Return to Andrew at the fort to confront him. You’ll then need to make your choice. Once the cutscene ends, so will the quest!
