In the cybernetic world of Stray, players encounter various robot companions who aid them on their quest to return to the surface. One key figure in the narrative is Seamus, a cynical yet deeply conflicted robot residing in The Slums. Locating Seamus and completing his story path is essential for advancing through the game's core campaign.
How to Find Seamus in The Slums
Players first encounter Seamus during Chapter 4 when visiting the local bar alongside Momo. He initially sits alone inside a booth, mourning the disappearance of his father, Doc. Later in the story, Momo will guide you directly to Seamus's apartment so you can speak with him in private.
His apartment is located down a narrow alleyway in The Slums, marked by a locked door until Momo opens an alternative entry. Once inside, you must gain his trust by presenting Doc's notebook. This interaction triggers a vital sequence that leads to the discovery of a hidden laboratory.
Unlocking the Secret Room in Seamus's Apartment
Inside the apartment, players must solve a puzzle to reveal Doc's secret lab hidden behind the wall. Knocking down the pictures on the wall exposes a clue and a numerical keypad. The code to open the keypad is derived from four clocks mounted on the opposite wall, which read 2-5-1-1.
Entering this combination opens a hidden door that allows you to investigate Doc's research. Searching the lab reveals a broken tracking device resting on top of a high bookshelf. Collecting this broken tracker is the crucial step required to trace Doc's location outside the safety of The Slums.
Repairing the Tracker and Rescuing Doc
To make the tracker functional again, you must bring it to Elliot, a talented local programmer. After bringing Elliot a warm poncho to fix his shivering, he successfully repairs the device. Returning the functional tracker to Seamus fills him with hope and prompts him to open the gate into the dangerous Dead End zone.
Although Seamus cannot venture further due to the danger of Zurks, he entrusts you with an Outsider Badge. This badge serves as proof of your alliance when you eventually locate Doc trapped in the outer ruins. reuniting father and son brings a heartwarming conclusion to Seamus's story arc in The Slums.
