hello I am a bit stuck at a part, I am in a basement and need to turn on a generator and it turns on a light lamp but not sure where to go after I turn it on.When it is turned on a hulk beast of some sort comes after me and 5 other random creatures attack me.How do you take down the hulk quick? I saw a canister by the light but I shot it with a shotgun but you need a molitave c***tail at it? it all happens so quick its hard to get it to explode when the hulk is by it.

If you have like 2 molotov c***tails, just throw those at it and then shoot it a couple times.

I have a very itchy ignore finger

there is a key card you need to pick up in a room upstairs. you can grab that before starting the generator and just run past everything after starting it if that's what you want to do.

edit:
a molotov and a bomb can kill it pretty easy too.

After you turn on the generator run to the back of the top hallway in the center. Wait til you see the Bloater (hulk) shamble past the other end of the hall and you can just run past everything and open that door without trouble.

What I did was throw down some mines/bombs with R1. Then I ran up stairs to the right of the generator, took out molotovs, and just lit into him. Then I just shottyed the rest of the runners. I had a rough time with that part too. If you dont have the gear for it, try to run like hell if you got the keycard.

Hulk beast? Random creatures? Were you not paying attention to anything that happened in the game?

Use Hulk-Buster Molotovs

Before starting the generator I cleared out any zombies and then when I activated it, I ran to the door I needed to use to escape. Make sure you've found the keycard.

Last of Us turn on generator

Joel starting a generator.

generator is a power source used to power certain things in The Last of Us. In order to get a generator working, the player needs to pull the generator handle three times by precisely pressing the triangle button at a certain point. Failing to press the button at the right point will cause the meter to empty and the process must be started again. If a player has trouble finding it, the player can follow the yellow wires that lead to the generator.

Locations

Here are the locations of all seven of the generators:

  • The Quarantine Zone: Once the player jumps down to a secret passage, Tess will start a generator to provide light. This is also the only time when the player doesn't have to start it. As the player progresses through the slums, more generators can be seen.
  • The Outskirts: After moving through a small gap, a generator will be next to an elevator. Joel uses it to provide power for the elevator.
  • Pittsburgh: Once Joel falls down into the basement, move through the hallways. After defeating the stalkers, the generator will be on a stairwell. There is another one in front of the gate guarded by hunters leading to the bridge. Joel can turn this one off, making it harder for the Hunters to see without the spotlight powered by it. However, it will cause the Hunters on the platform to jump down to investigate.
  • The Suburbs: Joel must get Ellie across a deeply-flooded room in the sewers to start a generator that powers a motorized platform to get Henry and Sam across the room. 
  • The University: There are two on this chapter. The first one will be in a library. Inside the room, on the second floor, is where the generator will be, along with five runners. The second one will be on a cart, after you pass the dorm. The cart will need to be pushed to the wall panel.

How do you start the generator in the last of us?

How to Start Generators in Last of Us 2.
Press triangle to start the crank. Some generators require you to fill them up with gas or plug in an electrical cord first..
Once the triangle starts to head back to its point of origin at the bottom of the ring, press triangle..
Do this three times to start it up..

Where is the generator the last of us?

The first one will be in a library. Inside the room, on the second floor, is where the generator will be, along with five runners. The second one will be on a cart, after you pass the dorm. The cart will need to be pushed to the wall panel.

What button do you press to run in the last of us?

Pressing L1 then the directional analog will make your character sprint. This control can help you escape enemies from catching up to you.

Where is the keycard in the hotel basement?

Ahead of you should be a doorway (if you've turned on the generator, light will be flickering through it). That's the security room - go inside. 7. On the desk directly ahead of you is the Hotel Keycard to open the basement door.
