Get Inside the Theater
You start out in front of the theater. Go over to the right side, and interact with the ladder to boost Lev up to it. Climb up, then go into the theater and down to the front entrance.
Follow Ellie
When you are inside and gain back control, follow Ellie. Interact with the door on the stage to go through it.
Fight Ellie
In the next areas you need to avoid Ellie shooting at you, then get behind her and attack when her back is turned. The first spot is easy, go to the left then hop over to avoid when she checks around to the side, then hop back and wait for her to advance into the middle area with her back turned to you.
When you drop down you want to immediately move back behind the shelves, don’t try and hide behind the box to the left. Wait behind the right side of the shelf, then when Ellie moves to check behind the box you can hit her.
Next she will back up into the other area of the room. Here she will start laying traps on the floor, so watch for them going around corners. You can grab items to throw to use on the traps as well or to bait Ellie to a specific spot. You still need to try and hit her from behind now, as she has pulled out her bow and will still shoot you with it if you go from the front. You can also throw an item at her to stun her, allowing you to get in to attack her. Once you’ve done this for the third time, the chapter will be over.
This finishes Chapter 40: The Confrontation in The Last of Us Part 2. Next is Chapter 41: The Farm.

There are bottles lying around in the 2nd and 3rd part of the fight. You can simply use those to “stun” Ellie, sprint up and attack her. Much easier than relying on stealth alone since she turns quite often.
This…
A quick, non-aimed R2 with a bottle will stun Ellie. Even if she sees you.
This section is pretty easy, but using bottles makes it fast as well.
I’m on Hard mode, and it doesn’t work sometimes. Like, during the third phase, you cannot auto target with throwables.
Just an FYI…
Also, without spoiling, this fight was messed up. Can’t say I agree with the person who won, despite us controlling said character.
:/
Agree with the above, 100%. On Grounded the stun trick pretty much doesn’t work. Amazing WT’s so no criticism intended.
