How to escape the first Zurk chase

The first time the swarming Zurks attack, the game expects you to run. Here's the exact path that works.

How to escape the first Zurk chase

The first Zurk encounter is a pure run-don't-fight sequence. The game gives no tutorial — it just lets the swarm catch you, and you respawn frustrated. Here's the working route.

  1. Sprint forward immediately the moment the Zurks drop. Don't stop to look around.
  2. Mash X to shake them off. If even one latches on, you can survive the next 4–5 seconds by mashing — but only if you keep running.
  3. Take every visible jump. The route is mostly linear; if a triangle prompt is on screen, take it.
  4. The chase ends at the metal shutter that slams down behind you. You'll know — the music drops out.

The game checkpoints aggressively here, so dying once is fine. Dying three times means you stopped moving — keep the stick forward the whole time.

If stuck: the third jump is the wall climb to the right of the dumpster. People miss it because the camera tilts left.
