After an explosive confrontation near the theater entrance, I pursued Ellie as Abby, into the backstage gallery. Unarmed and outgunned, Abby suffered multiple grueling defeats while attempting to dodge close-range gunshot blasts, and overpower Ellie in a desperate, deadly game of cat and mouse.
Suddenly, Tommy started to struggle with Abby, forcing Lev to shoot him through the leg with a well-aimed arrow to break his grip while Abby also shot him with her handgun in the shoulder.
At the same time, Ellie fired her handgun toward Abby as she fell back into the theater. Without getting shot, Abby pressed forward into the building without hesitating.
As Abby, I immediately started running after Ellie through the narrow gallery corridors. The hallway was dimly lit and full of tight corners, making movement dangerous.
Ellie kept retreating while firing periodic shots from afar to keep me at bay, while I kept pursuing her shadow through the backstage passageways.
Since Ellie was fully armed with firearms while Abby was completely empty-handed, I had to retreat behind cover to stay alive and look for a way to get to her.
I tried to close the gap and strike her from the side, but Ellie reacted instantly by drawing her machete, slashing through Abby's guard and took her down in a swift, brutal counterattack.

At the restart, I became much more careful while Ellie was looking for me around the area. After one more failed attempt, I got a hold of her, but Ellie bit Abby on her right hand while trying to win the fight.
While Abby began overpowering Ellie through sheer physical strength, their intense melee combat sent them crashing over the edge of the floor, tumbling down to the lower stage level below.
Disoriented from the fall, I tried to dodge Ellie's incoming gunshot, but I failed to react in time. Ellie raised her weapon and took a clean, fatal headshot on Abby right away.
At the next restart, Ellie started actively hunting me while carrying her heavy shotgun. I attempted to distract her and alter her path by throwing a glass bottle to create sound elsewhere.
I almost managed to flank her position, but she spotted me at the last second, and pushed me off before blasting me with a shotgun shell that took me down once more.
We'll check what happens next in another post.
