Hell is Us: How to find ON convoy and Blacksmith of Jova (Acasa Marshes)

After reaching the Acasa Marshes region, the main task is to find the Blacksmith of Jova in Hell is Us. However, you will learn that he has left with the ON convoy for another location. Since the game doesn't indicate the objective properly or give any information about where you have to go next, it can be quite a hassle to progress in the main story.

Here is an extensive guide on how to find the ON convoy and then the Blacksmith of Jova in Hell is Us.

Note: This guide only focuses on the main story progression of Hell is Us.

Finding the ON convoy

At the entrance of Jova village, speak with Captain Vaas and learn details about the Blacksmith of Jova. He will reveal that he has left the area with an ON convoy.

He will also mention that the convoy shouldn't be far from the outpost, which is located on the outskirts of the town, in the northeast segment. The building is behind the blacksmith's forge. You don't really have to find the ON outpost, as the path to the convoy is quite straightforward from Captain Vaas' location.

To reach the ON convoy, follow the main road towards the Timeloop in the east. Defeat the Hollow Walkers on the way, and reach the other side of the Timeloop. Keep following the main road to find a save point just ahead.

Continue through the main road going north, and you will reach a tunnel entrance at the end. Now, you must defeat a bunch of Hollow Walkers. Be careful, as the large number of enemies can easily overwhelm you in Hell is Us.

After vanquishing all enemies, move ahead to hear a man's voice. Enter the maintenance room and talk to Victor Gaz, who's an apprentice of Vitalis, the Blacksmith of Jova.

Take the key from Victor Gaz to access Vitalis' house in Jova. He will also reveal the building's location, which is in the northeastern part of the village. Next, follow the same road to return to Jova. From Captain Vaas' location, take the muddy road heading north, and then to the northwest.

Soon after, you will find the blue swing and Vitalis' house next to it. Use the key to enter and reach the basement by climbing down the ladder. At the end of the basement path, you will have to unlock a door by entering a six-digit security code.

Firstly, if you don't want to waste time on learning about the clues, here is the password to unlock the secret door at Vitalis' home:

• 321713

Finding the clues for the password can be quite tricky, as you first must collect three different pictures in Vitalis' home.

Go upstairs, collect a picture from the child's room, one from the room in the corner, and the final one can be found in a chest beside the ladder in the basement. Unlock it using the Heirloom Necklace.

Now, return to the basement room (where the locked door is located) and hang all three canvases on the wall based on their shapes. Now, notice the numbers on the first two pictures: 32 and 17. However, the number in the third picture is not visible.

To find the missing number, go back, climb the ladder, and locate the same green-colored car as the picture. From there, you will get the last two digits to unlock the secret door, 13.

After opening the door and collecting all the items, go upstairs and exit the house.
