Detailed Walk Through: After a cut scene of the Man explaining the origins of the apocalypse to the Boy, then seeing a ship off in the distance, you start on the beach about to head out. As you are already weak you will not be able to carry any of your weapons from the previous levels and must leave them on the shore. Start by heading into the freezing water. The water is freezing so you must be quick. Tap the A button as fast as possible to swim as fast as possible. The longer you are in the water the less health you will have when you finally reach the ship. Once you reach the ship, head around the back and you will see a cargo net that you can use as a ladder. Doing this will activate a cut scene that will show that the ship is infested with cannibals armed with 9mm pistols, AK-47s, saw off shotguns, and Uzis. If any of the cannibals is able to raise an alarm or is able to shoot their weapon within earshot of another cannibal, you will lose your bonus. Also all the locations of the cannibals are random. You must be prepared and stealthy around every turn of this ship. Head along the right side of the deck to the first stairwell heading up to the third floor. Be sure to search the other two levels where you will find the scissors, rope, and tomatoes. After going up three stories you will reach the Command Deck. Check the security cameras and you will see that the ship is full of captives that will be eaten when they reach shore. Get the keys off the table and go through the door in the back and down 5 stories (again, check these floors too. You will find the silencer which will let you pick up one of the guns from the dead cannibals and use it.) You will see signs that point to the kitchen where you need to find some canned goods. After finding the canned goods you must blow up the ship in order to put the captives out of their misery. Go back to the previous stairwell and head down until you reach the bottom. Beware; this part of the level has the most cannibals per square inch! Head into the Engine Room and look for the main control room. There are three different ways to reach the main control room: go through the engine to the right, climb onto the rafters, or just walk along the walkway. If you have a high mechanical skill you can make it through the engine with ease. If you have a high sneak and strength skill you will find the rafters the easiest way. If you just want to kill someone go on the walkway. Either way when you reach the main control room you will see a big red button that says "Self Destruct." Wow, that lucky. Push the button. You will hear a voice that will say "Self destruction in three minutes" and a cut scene of the captives rejoicing. Turn around and head through the door marked exit. Head up three stories and into the poop deck. Watch out, it really smells. Find a chair and throw it through the window. Get a running start and jump through the window just as the ship explodes. You will get a long dramatic cut scene of the ship blowing up and The Boy helping to shore.
