- Garten of Banban 9 The Abomination is the chapter's deadliest pursuit-style threat, roaming the sealed facility corridors.
- Key Card 2.0 is mandatory: rescue the trapped ally and use the reader terminal to unlock the exit door.
- The Stalker patrols the same zone — dodge both threats at once or you're cornered fast.
- Heat mechanics appear during the finale: manage your stamina and hiding spots to survive the chase.
- Best strategy: free the ally first, grab the application from Dogman's contact, then route to the exit.
The Abomination: What You're Facing
The Abomination is the signature horror encounter of this Garten of Banban 9 chapter — a relentless, twisted creation that hunts you through the facility's locked-down halls. Unlike earlier Banban monsters that rely on jumpscares and scripted patrols, this encounter blends puzzle-solving under pressure with a full pursuit sequence, making it one of the tensest segments in the series.
The chapter opens with a trapped survivor calling out for help. Nothing in the facility is going according to plan: doors are sealed, allies are scattered, and the Abomination is loose somewhere between you and the exit.

Key Card 2.0 and the Door Reader Walkthrough
Escaping the Abomination's zone comes down to one chain of objectives: free the ally, retrieve Key Card 2.0, and unlock the sealed door with the reader. Here's the full sequence.
| Step | Objective | Location Cue | Threat Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Locate trapped ally | Voice calls from behind locked door | Low |
| 2 | Retrieve Key Card 2.0 | Facility side rooms | Medium |
| 3 | Hand over Dogman's application | Ally interaction | Low |
| 4 | Use the door reader | Terminal next to sealed exit | Medium |
| 5 | Escape before the chase begins | Main corridor | High |
Free the Trapped Ally
Follow the voice through the corridors until you reach the locked door. The ally inside can't leave until the exit route is open, so they'll guide you through the remaining tasks remotely.
Collect Key Card 2.0
Search the side rooms for the upgraded key card. Move between hiding spots — the Stalker patrols this area, and sprinting between rooms without checking sightlines will get you caught.
Deliver the Application
The ally mentions hearing about you from their allies, including Dogman. Present the application Dogman gave you earlier to progress the interaction and unlock the next instruction.
Scan the Card at the Reader
Take Key Card 2.0 to the reader beside the sealed door and scan it to disengage the lock. This triggers the Abomination's arrival — be ready to move the moment the door opens.
Run the Final Corridor
The Abomination announces itself with taunts as the chase begins. Keep moving forward, use corners to break line of sight, and watch for heat hazards blocking side paths.
Complete the small tasks the ally assigns before triggering the door reader. Once the exit unlocks, you lose the safe window to explore — the Abomination's pursuit starts almost immediately.
Surviving the Abomination and the Stalker
Both threats demand different responses, and mixing them up is what gets players killed. The Stalker punishes noise and sightlines; the Abomination punishes dead ends and hesitation.
| Threat | Behavior | Counter | Mistake to Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Abomination | Active pursuit, taunting, blocks routes | Keep moving, break line of sight | Hiding in dead-end rooms |
| The Stalker | Patrols task area, reacts to movement | Time patrols, move between cover | Sprinting in open corridors |
| Heat hazards | Damage or block paths during chase | Route around, don't stall | Backtracking into the pursuer |
The Abomination's lines — "You are so dead" and "No place left to escape your doom" — are audio cues that it has locked onto your position. When you hear them, commit to a forward route instead of doubling back.
Stealth Phase (Tasks)
- Move only when the Stalker faces away
- Use cover between rooms
- Listen for patrol audio cues
Chase Phase (Escape)
- Never stop in open corridors
- Cut corners to break pursuit
- Ignore loot — forward momentum wins

FAQ
Q: What is the Abomination in Garten of Banban 9?
The Abomination is the chapter's main pursuing monster. It hunts the player through the sealed facility after the exit door is unlocked, taunting them during the chase and cutting off escape routes. It shares the zone with the Stalker, creating a dual-threat survival scenario.
Q: Where do I find Key Card 2.0?
Key Card 2.0 is located in the side rooms of the facility, in the area patrolled by the Stalker. The trapped ally points you toward it as part of the small tasks you must complete before leaving. Search methodically and use cover between rooms.
Q: What does Dogman's application do?
The trapped ally asks for the application Dogman gave you earlier in the game. Handing it over is a required story beat — it confirms your identity to the ally's network and unlocks the instructions needed to open the sealed exit.
Q: Can I hide from the Abomination during the chase?
Hiding is far less reliable during the active pursuit than during the stealth phase. The Abomination is built to flush out campers, so the safest approach is continuous forward movement, using corners to break line of sight while avoiding heat hazards in side paths.
