Her experiences at Leafmore High have left her with a dark personality. She is able to control black auras, sucking these into herself. Shannon succeded at adapting herself to what Friedman changed in her and arguably is the strongest of the original group of survivors from Leafmore. Stan Jones ========== Stan Jones is the only one in the cast who didn't enter Fallcreek University after the events at Leafmore High. He's a pizza delivery boy now, but with a talent for picking locks - something he learned during a short stay in prison. Stan uses daily medication to suppress the effects of being contaminated by Friedman's biological experiments at Leafmore. Kenny Matthews ============== Kenny Matthews is the brother of Shannon. He suffered as much as his sister, and like Stan Jones, he needs to use daily medication for what Herbert Friedman did to him. Outwardly, Kenny appears to be the strongest of the group, as he can push and move heavy objects like no other. However, mentally, he is weaker than his sister, and needs more medication than Stan. = New Characters (Introduced in ObsCure: The Aftermath) = Corey Wilde =========== A skater who's no stranger to pain, Corey Wilde specializes in climbing on top of things. He also used to fall a lot and break his bones, but as time went by and he got more acrobatic this happened less and less. He's a real car aficionado, and is equally in love with his car as he is with his girlfriend Mei. Mei Wang ======== Mei Wang is Jun's twin sister. She's beautiful, but sweet as sour candy. She is also a hardcore gamer, and her only rival is her sister. Mei has a bad habit of hacking all communication and security devices that pass within range of her PDA. She is dating Corey. Jun Wang ======== Jun Wang is a young female video game enthusiast - a real gamer chick. She spends disproporionate amounts of her free time playing video games and partying. She has a very strong bond with her sister Mei, who is the dominant one of their relationship. Amy Brookes =========== Genuine blond and Miss Wet T-shirt on campus, Amy Brookes has a phenomenal skill at deciphering and breaking near-impossible codes and puzzles. She is aware that both Kenny and Sven are interested in her, and is excited by Kenny's bad-boy demeanor, but is also thrilled by the way Sven looks at her. Sven Hansen =========== Sven Hansen was born in Norway but moved to the US soon after his birth. He is obsessed with his birth country and their customs. An avid hockey player, Sven is a real brawler and is very strong. He is able to push and move heavy obstacles like Kenny can. Sven is interested in dating Amy, the appeal of which he shares with Kenny as well. As of yet, Amy has not shown her preference for either. = NPCs (Non-player characters you encounter in game) = Professor Richard James ======================= A professor in biology on the Fallcreek campus, Richard James is not easily impressed. Having been forced to tame the rowdy student populace of Fallcreek University, there are now few things that scare or excite him. His scientific knowledge is a precious tool for inquisitive minds. A man to consult regularly... Jedidiah ======== [No description or reference in the manual, added for completeness. ] [Jedidiah is an odd character you'll encounter several times in the game.] =============================================================================== - Main Walkthru - =============================================================================== Before you begin, there are a few things I should explain about the following walkthru. First off, when I refer to top, bottom, left and right I am refering to a direction on your screen unless I state a direction in relation to your active character or a direction in relation to a feature within the area. Area Lists: Below are descriptions of the various lists I use throughout the ========== walkthru and any important notes about them. Enemies List ============ These are enemies that are present in the area as you first enter it. They are also listed in the walkthru text - LIKE THIS - Enemies that spawn after certain events or actions are not in the enemy list, but they - ARE - listed in the walkthru text. Items List ========== These are the items that are present in each area. They are listed like - THIS - in the walkthru text. One VERY important note: This game seems to SPAWN items as you enter each area, rather than having them present every playthrough. The only thing I can figure is that the game keeps track of how many of each item you currently have as you enter the area, and if the game feels you need it, it will spawn the item listed. This means that when you play you may or may not find the items listed below. It also means you may come across items that are not listed here, as they haven't spawned in my own games of ObsCure: The Aftermath. One final note, sometimes an item on these lists will spawn "after" you've left the area and returned... so if you need a specific item, it might be wise to return to those areas to see if it's spawned. Flair/Documents List ==================== These are lists of Documents you can find (they go into your document inventory) and general "flair" texts that are scattered throughout parts of the game. Other than a few that provide codes and solutions to puzzles, these items are generally there to build mood and backstory and can be avoided if that isn't your kind of thing. [POWERBOX] ========== Throughout the game are various POWERBOXES that you can use to charge your character's BATTERY PACK. These are VERY important as two of the best weapons (The Stun Gun and the Electric Chainsaw) run on battery power. Feel free to use these boxes to keep your power topped off at all times, as there seems to be an unlimited amount of power in this game. [BONUS CHEST] ============= Inside ObsCure: The Aftermath, you'll find various BONUS CHESTS scattered throughout the levels. Within these you'll find some really good items. Two things of note though: - To open the chests you'll need to find 3 - SMALL KEY - items. Any area that contains a Bonus Chest will also have 3 Small Keys scattered around. Make sure to find them. - All Bonus Chest items come off a special list of items, which you must get IN ORDER. Say you miss chest one but unlock chest two, you'll get the "first" item on the list. The only way to get ALL of the bonus chest items is to make sure you open up ALL of the bonus chests... of course, with this walkthru that will be easy. Each Bonus Chest is listed in the main walkthru text, and a complete list of chests and items found in them can be found in section 0.3 - Items/Weapons. [SAVEPOINT] =========== Unlike ObsCure: Learn About Fear, this game uses a number of set SAVEPOINTS that are scattered throughout the game - there are 25 of these in total. Use them as you find them as you typically can't get back to them after you leave the area that contains them; but keep one thing in mind, each savepoint can ONLY be used ONCE. For easy reference, the name of each save (as seen on your load game screen) is listed above under each location heading in the order they are found in game, along with the word "Savepoint" and a numerical designation for the save. Using Control+F you can easily jump to a specific savepoint in the main walkthru text: merely compare your savegame name to the savepoint in the table of contents, then jump to the correct "savepoint" below. For example: The save "Panic at the brotherhood" is referenced as Savepoint 1 above, and that part of the game can be directly jumped to by using Control+F to jump to Savepoint 1 below. =============================================================================== 1.0 - Fallcreek University =============================================================================== The game starts with an - OPENING MOVIE - that presents some basic info about the events of ObsCure: Learn About Fear. After the movie, you'll find yourself in: ============== = Corey's Room = ============== - Characters: Corey Mei Not much to do here, check the bed for a character comment and then exit the room. ========================== = Male Dorm - Second Floor = ========================== - Flair: On the wall, near the Bathrooms On the wall, just past Corey's room On the wall, near the NPC trying to get through the first set of double doors. On the wall, just past room 206 On the wall, just past room 205 Not much to do here, as you exit Corey's room you can either head toward the top or bottom of your screen. The bottom path leads to the [Bathrooms - Male Dorm] and the top path will lead to a pair of double doors at the end; these lead to the [Male Dorm - Second Floor - Hall 2] Area. Go that way to continue. As you move through this area, you'll notice an NPC trying to go through a pair of Double Doors about mid-way through this area. Make a note of these for later. ======================= = Bathrooms - Male Dorm = ======================= (USE) the sink to see a [MESSAGE] from Sven on the mirror. This tells you which room to look for. No real big deal, as this part is pretty linear. =================================== = Male Dorm - Second Floor - Hall 2 = =================================== - Flair: On the wall as you first enter this area On the right wall near the soda machine On the left wall near the soda machine Go through the open doors to the right of your characters as you first enter this area, and then head for the couple at the end. Just short of them is Room 200. Enter. ============= = Sven's room = ============= A - CUTSCENE - will play as you enter, introducing Sven, Jun, Amy, Kenny and Shannon and leading to... ================ = Dream Sequence = ================ - Weapons: Baseball Bat Head forward, grab the - BASEBALL BAT - and keep moving. Soon Mei will join you. Enter the Graveyard, break any [DUMMIES] that bar your path. Near the large statue are two graves, feel free to examine them for a character comment; one is for Corey and the other, Mei. Keep moving, eventually you'll see Jedidiah dragging "something" behind him and he'll enter a hole in the ground. Break through any dummy barricades and follow him down. =========================== = Dream Sequence - Basement = =========================== Just keep moving, you'll see manifestations of both Jun and Sven. Eventually you'll come to the end of this area. ============================== = Dream Sequence - Flower Room = ============================== Enter the room, and notice you're holding a Shotgun (Corey) and a Handgun (Mei) Approach the large flower and you'll hear Amy talk as her corpse lies exposed on the giant open flower. (EXAMINE) Amy's remains and - 2 STAGE 3 MUTANTS - and some - PARASITES - will break in and attack. You can't really beat them... and when Mei dies... ======================= = Bathrooms - Male Dorm = ======================= Corey wakes up and is really hurting. Leave the room. ========================== = Male Dorm - Second Floor = ========================== Head down the hall, this time going right at the first set of double doors. The NPC is now gone and you can use the doors. Do so. ======================= = Male Dorm - Stairwell = ======================= - Flair: Near the entrance to the Second Floor Near the payphones Near the blocked entrance to the First Floor Near the entrance to the Third Floor Near the open window Head into the room and Corey will automatically grab an - ENERGY DRINK - and use it, healing fully. Head upstairs and exit via the open window. =================== = Between the dorms = =================== Now it's time to see monkeyboy in action. (JUMP) onto the ledge and move over to the open window leading to the Female Dorms. Enter. ========================= = Female Dorm - Stairwell = ========================= - Flair: Near the open window Between the two locked doors on the third floor Second Floor, behind a sofa On the wall, as you head down the stairs between the 2nd and 1st floors Head down the stairs to the second floor, enter the only door that's open to you. ============================ = Female Dorm - Second floor = ============================ - Flair: On the wall, between rooms 119 and 118 On the wall, just past room 118 On the wall, on the right side of the payphones Head down the hall, hang a left, and enter the door near the snack machines. ============ = Jun's room = ============ As you enter, a - SCENE - will play. =============================================================================== 2.0 - Delta Theta Gamma =============================================================================== =========================== = Road to Delta Theta Gamma = =========================== - Characters: Kenny Amy NOTE: You can now access the Inventory Menu using the Select Button. Just go forward until you're outside the fraternity building. ============================ = Delta Theta Gamma Building = ============================ Head for the front door and open it; the Bouncer will blow you off, forcing you to find some other way into the building. Head for the LEFT side of the building and you'll see a metal door. Enter it. ======================================= = Behind the Delta Theta Gamma Building = ======================================= - Weapons: Hockey Stick The goal here is to climb onto the roof. Head for the far end of this area, grabbing the - HOCKEY STICK - on the way. Have Kenny (SIEZE) the crate sitting in the top left corner of this area and drag it to the low hanging roof. Climbing onto the crate will allow you to access the roof. Do so and you'll find a locked door and a closed window. Have Kenny (OPEN) the window and you'll enter the building; doing so will also trigger a - CUTSCENE - ...and on that note the Prologue is now over, be on your guard. ======== = Office = ======== - Weapons: Golf Club - Items: Small Key Wow, sounds like the fun has already started. Three very important things to do in this room: First, go between the bookshelves and you can have Kenny boost Amy up, where she will find a - SMALL KEY - MAKE SURE TO GET ANY SMALL KEYS as these are needed to open the various BONUS CHESTS in the game. 3 Keys are needed to open each chest, so if you find one, you'll know there are 2 more sitting somewhere in the area. Second, grab the - GOLF CLUB - and give it to whichever character lacks a weapon. Finally, have Amy (INSPECT) the desk to find a code (CODE: 1873), you'll need this shortly. Time to move on. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== - Flair: On the wall, across from where you first enter this area - Items: Small Key As you exit the Office, a woman will enter the hallway and lock the door behind her. She'll then tell you to get the handgun from the [Billards Room], so head there next. You're looking for a door with a glass window, break the glass and you can open the door, allowing access to the Billards room. As you pass down the hall, break the glass case in the middle of the hallway to gain access to the second - SMALL KEY - for this area. Finally, note the [ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED DOOR] across from the glass case, we'll be coming back to that a bit later. =============== = Billards Room = =============== - Weapons: Handgun - SAVEPOINT Head to the safe (top left corner of the room) and enter the code from before (1873) to open it; inside is a - HANDGUN - On the wall, close to the safe, is a [SAVEPOINT]. Use it now. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 1 ===== ======================= Exit the room. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== - Enemies: Bloated Mutant - Items: Key A - BLOATED MUTANT - now guards this hallway. Unless you're feeling brave, just shoot the monster, as Bloated Mutants tend to hit really really hard. Once it's dead, grab the - KEY - from the remains and head for the door the Young Woman had locked earlier.... kinda odd that this creature had the key she probably had used, eh? (USE) the Key on the door and you'll unlock it, passing through automatically. ======== = Stairs = ======== Follow them to the end. ===================== = First Floor Hallway = ===================== - Items: Handgun Ammo - Flair: On the wall next to the entrance to the stairs. Grab the - HANDGUN AMMO - off of couch, directly across from the stairs. There are only two exits in this area, one near the bloody corpse and another down a hall that opens up to the right of the stairs. Ignore the side hall for now and enter the door next to the corpse. ============= = Dining Hall = ============= - Enemies: 2 Brutes - Items: Small Key First Aid Kit - BONUS CHEST As you enter, - TWO BRUTES - will attack. They're fast and tend to jump away from you, so you might want to rely on your Handgun and just shoot them. They tend to drop fairly easily. After they are dead, go to the glass covered shelf near the door you used to enter this area. Break it and you'll be able to grab the - SMALL KEY - inside. This is your third small key, so head over to the [BONUS CHEST] and open it. Inside you will find the - STUN GUN - The Stun Gun is a pretty cool weapon, it's only requirement is electricity, which you can recharge it with using the various POWERBOXES you find throughout the game. The weapon does little damage, but CAN stun enemies, allowing you to bash them with a melee weapon and saving your more precious ammo for harder enemies. Give this weapon to your partner character, and they will put it to good use. Near the Bonus Chest and against the wall is a - FIRST AID KIT -; as you head for it, a - BLOATED MUTANT - will break through the wall, forcing you to either attack it or evade it. Either way, your next stop is through the hole the Bloated Mutant made. =================== = Kitchen Storeroom = =================== - POWERBOX The only thing of note here is the [POWERBOX] on the wall; recharge your battery and then use the door to enter the Kitchens. ========== = Kitchens = ========== - Items: First Aid Kit - Documents: Reconstituted Document Not much to do here, NOTE the locked door for later, and have Amy (INSPECT) the torn paper littering one of the counters for a - RECONSTITUTED DOCUMENT - This Document gives you the answer to your next puzzle. Make sure to grab the - FIRST AID KIT - off of one of the counters before you leave this area. =============================== = Kitchen Storeroom/Dining Hall = =============================== - Enemies: 2 Brutes - TWO BRUTES - now wait for you inside the Dining Hall. Stay inside the Kitchen Storeroom, and let them come to you, using the narrow opening to your advantage. Once they're dead, head back into the First Floor Hallway. ===================== = First Floor Hallway = ===================== Take the side hall next to the Stairs and follow it to the end; use the door you find to gain access to the Library. ========= = Library = ========= - Enemies: Parasites - Flair: On the wall, as you first enter the area. As you move into the room, several - PARASITES - will attack you. These aren't dangerous enemies, but very annoying. Smack them with Melee weapons and once they're dead, get ready for the next puzzle. This puzzle is an easy one, you might already know the answer to it if you studied the Reconstituted Document from earlier. If not, read on. Have Kenny (SIEZE) each shelf and move it into place so the symbol on the top of each shelf matches the symbols on the Reconstituted Document. - Delta (pyramid) in the top left slot - Theta (the circle) in the lower middle slot - Gamma (the upside down L) in the lower right slot A - SCENE - will play showing the stairs to the second floor lowering. Take them up and follow the path to the exit. ======== = Bridge = ======== Cross to the end for a - CUTSCENE - =========================== = Road to Delta Theta Gamma = =========================== - Characters: Corey Mei - Weapons: Hockey Stick Baseball Bat Head for the Delta Theta Gamma building, making sure to grab the - HOCKEY STICK- and - BASEBALL BAT - on the way. ============================ = Delta Theta Gamma Building = ============================ - SAVEPOINT Before doing anything, head to the right of the front entrance and use the [SAVEPOINT] you find against the wall of the building. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 2 ===== ======================= Head for the front doors. They're now locked, but you can have Mei (HACK) the electronic lock sitting next to the doors. Do so (CODE: MOZART) and you'll unlock the door. Enter. ===================== = First Floor Hallway = ===================== You're inside, but a [BLACK AURA] blocks the entrance, so you're trapped. Note: Another Black Aura blocks the window on the second floor, so you can't exit that way either. Head up the stairs. ======== = Stairs = ======== Up to the second floor. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== Go back to the Electronically Locked door you saw earlier and have Mei (HACK) the door. (CODE: PICASSO) Enter. ========= = Storage = ========= - Items: Handgun Ammo First Aid Kit - POWERBOX Easy room; recharge your Battery, grab the items and leave. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== Head for the Stairs. ======== = Stairs = ======== Back down... ===================== = First Floor Hallway = ===================== Off to the Library. ========= = Library = ========= The stairs are now broken. Have Corey (JUMP) up to the second level, and then pull Mei up. While Corey is helping Mei up, a - BRUTE - will appear. It isn't a problem... yet. Once Mei is on the second floor, head for the exit. The Brute will jump to the second level and you'll be forced to kill it. Do so and then exit. ======== = Bridge = ======== Head across and enter the next area. A - BRUTE - will try to leap across from the adjacent bridge as you make your way, but it doesn't make it, falling to its death. ======= = Study = ======= - Items: Handgun Ammo No one is here, but you may find some - HANDGUN AMMO - on the desk. Exit using the only other door in this room, but be ready for the - PARASITES - that will spawn as you near the exit. Fight or flee. ====================== = Cobbled Sitting Area = ====================== - Characters: Corey Mei Amy Kenny - Flair: Next to the stairs leading to the Dance Hall - SAVEPOINT Head down the stairs for a - CUTSCENE - ...oh, so that's what happened to that Brute. After the Cutscene, Professor James will give you a [SYRINGE] that you can use to extract proteins from the enemies you kill, as well as explaining how to use it. Despite the fact you can have any two of the four characters above, for the next area you'll need both Kenny and Corey, so add them both to your group. To switch out a character, go to the character you want to add and press the button as prompted. Your partner character will be removed from your group and the new character added in his or her place. Now is a good time to use the [SAVEPOINT]. Also, make note of the Double Doors, but don't worry about them for now. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 3 ===== ======================= Head up the stairs leading to the Dance Hall and have Kenny (SIEZE) the large [VASE] blocking the way. Move it, and then head across the bridge to the door. ============ = Dance Hall = ============ - Items: First Aid Kit Handgun Ammo You arrive on the top level of the Dance Hall; a large table sits in the middle of this section. In one corner is a smaller table with a - FIRST AID KIT - resting on it. Head for the [SPOTLIGHT] and pan it around, noting the layout of the lower level of this room. Things to note: - A Large [SPEAKER] covered with a [BLACK AURA]. - A Tall Bar with another [SPOTLIGHT] on it. - Another [BLACK AURA] in the lower right corner of the room. Have Corey use the spotlight, and then take control of Kenny. Send Kenny down to the lower level, taking him all the way over to the SPEAKER. Switch back to Corey, and (FOCUS) the spotlight on the speaker, the Black Aura will vanish. Switch back to Kenny, (SIEZE) the speaker and move it away from the wall and then over to the couches in one corner of the room, leaving enough room for Kenny to get BETWEEN the speaker and the couches. By now Corey should shout a warning as - 3 BRUTES - spawn in the room to attack you.... ...but if you did what I told you to do, send Kenny between the speaker and the couches... the Brutes will get close to you but cannot get close enough to attack you. On the OTHER hand, you CAN attack them using a long reach weapon like the Hockey Stick... Give it to Kenny if he doesn't have it already and start swinging. Use the speaker to your advantage and this will be a very easy fight. Also note: Corey will use the spotlight on the brutes during this fight; when he focuses on them, they will run off, giving you time to regroup. Once the brutes are dead, harvest their hearts with the syringe by (USING) it while standing over them. Once that's done, (SIEZE) the speaker again, and drag it to the Tall Bar, right under the opening at the top. Switch back to Corey, drop down to the lower level, climb the speaker and then (JUMP) to the top of the bar. (USE) the spotlight there to dispel the Black Aura on the door. Also, makes sure to take the - HANDGUN AMMO - near the spotlight. Once this is accomplished you are free to leave this room. Do so. ======================================= = Behind the Delta Theta Gamma Building = ======================================= - Items: Handgun Ammo - SAVEPOINT You exit into a small fenced-in area you may have noticed earlier. On the wall is a [SAVEPOINT] and on a table some - HANDGUN AMMO - ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 4 ===== ======================= Unlock the door to the fence and exit, then head for the door leading to the front of Delta Theta Gamma; open it to trigger a - CUTSCENE - ====================== = Nature Trail to Hell = ====================== - Characters: Corey Amy - Enemies: Bloated Mutant Two Brutes - Weapons: Electric Chainsaw Shotgun - Items: Energy Drink First Aid Kit Handgun Ammo - Flair: Old newspaper on the ground, just past the fallen tree - POWERBOX Now your group consists of Corey and Amy. Nothing you can do about it so just head down the path. Eventually you'll come to a road; both ends are blocked so just cross over and pass through the broken guardrail, taking you into the woods. Only two paths lie before you: - Ahead lies a dead end with a - BLOATED MUTANT - and an - ENERGY DRINK - - To the right leads further into the area. The Bloated Mutant will be alerted to your presence almost immediately, so head forward and take it out, making sure to collect the Energy Drink hidden in the underbrush. Now take the other path and soon - TWO BRUTES - will charge you. Dispose of them and keep moving. You'll eventually come to a broken wall, pass through the opening and keep going, soon you'll trigger a - CUTSCENE - ....wow, Corey really loved that car. Right after the scene, a - BRUTE - and - BLOATED MUTANT - will start heading toward you. Kill 'em. If it presents itself, grab the - HANDGUN AMMO - off of the ground, it'll be near the place Corey freaked out in the cutscene. Take the path the enemies arrived from and you'll eventually come to a small area with a [POWERBOX]. There are two ways to go from here, but the left one is currently blocked by a [FALLEN TREE]. Take the right path a short ways and you'll come across an - ELECTRIC CHAINSAW - resting on some cut wood. Take it, head back to the Powerbox and recharge as needed. Now you're ready to keep moving. Head to the [FALLEN TREE], equip the Electric Chainsaw and attack the tree. You'll saw through it, allowing you access to the path beyond. But first, recharge your battery before following the path. Follow the path and you'll eventually come to a wooden bridge; along the way you'll stumble across an Old Newspaper on the ground. Have Amy (INSPECT) the newspaper and you'll get a little bit of "flair". A - FIRST AID KIT - rests beside the bridge, take it and then cross over. On the other side, a small - SCENE - will play. Head over to the car and pick up the - SHOTGUN -, but beware as the seemingly "dead" - BLOATED MUTANT - will stand up and want to fight. A second - BLOATED MUTANT - will appear and attack from a different direction. Take 'em out. Once the battle is done, you'll find the bridge is no longer useable, so follow the only path from here until you reach a broken down building. Use the crack in the wall to leave this area. ================================= = Nature Trail to Hell - Part Two = ================================= - SAVEPOINT - POWERBOX Head down the path a short ways and you'll find a [SAVEPOINT]. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 5 ===== ======================= Keep moving and eventually you'll trigger a - CUTSCENE -, after which - 2 DRYADS - will appear and attack you. Dryads are easy enemies, but because they fly, they are sometimes difficult to kill with melee weapons. Dispose of them quickly as their quick attacks will grind on your health. Once these two annoyances are dead you can safely head on. Eventually the path will fork at the base of a large tree. The left fork leads to a dead end with a [POWERBOX], but a small group of - PARASITES - will attack you. As you take the right fork, - 4 DRYADS - will appear and attack you. Kill them or evade them. At the end of this path is another [FALLEN TREE]. Cut it and pass through the breach in the wall at the end of the trail. This will take you to the next area. NOTE: If you "just" take the right fork (avoiding the left one), the 4 Dryads will NOT spawn. ========================== = Hospital - Rear Entrance = ========================== - Items: Handgun ammo First Aid Kit Not much here, head over to the dumpster (the one near the ambulance blocking the exit) and break the crates you find there to give you access to some - HANDGUN AMMO - and a - FIRST AID KIT - From there, head for the ambulance with the running headlights, there you'll find an area Corey can (JUMP) up to. Do so. Have Corey climb up and head for the window, then from there (JUMP) up again. Make your way across the wallface and - 5 DRYADS - will appear... joy. Have Corey drop down to the ground (otherwise the Dryads WILL knock you off) and prepare to kill these annoyances. NOTE: If you're feeling lucky, feel free to switch over to Amy and have her kill the Dryads before they can knock Corey down. It is possible to do, but if Corey is knocked down he'll take a fair amount of damage. Once the Dryads are dead, have Corey climb up again, following the same path as before. Eventually you'll come to the roof of a small enclosure. You'll want to use the window you find there, but first you'll need to help Amy up. Head for the hole in the roof, drop down, and then unlock the door to the enclosure. Amy will join you. Climb back to the roof, then switch to Amy. Have her climb onto the large box, then switch back to Corey and have him help her onto the roof. From there, head for the window you saw above the enclosure and use it to enter the hospital. A - SCENE - will play, followed by a - CUTSCENE - =============================================================================== 3.0 - Fallcreek University - Revisited =============================================================================== =========== = Courtyard = =========== - Characters: Sven Mei - SAVEPOINT Take a moment to equip Sven. From your starting point, head to the left and forward toward the front entrance of Fallcreek University. There you will find a [SAVEPOINT]. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 6 ===== ======================= From here, continue forward until you come to a wall; there should be two different openings in it, but both lead to the same area. Pass through, and head to the left to find a closed gate with a [SWITCH] next to it. (USE) the switch and you'll open the gate. Enter this new area. Once your characters are on the other side, the gate will automatically close, trapping you. No big deal. Head forward and you should come to a place where the ground slopes downward to a dumpster and a blocked door. Head into this area to activate [THE JUN TIMER]. Yep, Jun's in trouble. Better make haste. Have Sven climb up behind the large crate that blocks the door, then have him (SIEZE) it and push it foward until he can climb up on top of it. Do so. From there, climb onto the overhang and break the window just above where you climb up. Enter the university. ======== = Lounge = ======== - Items: Handgun Ammo - Flair: Behind the seats On a wall near the lounge entrance - POWERBOX Welcome to the dorms. Grab the - HANDGUN AMMO - off of the bar and head out. Feel free to use the [POWERBOX] next to the window you used to enter this area should you be low on power. ======= = Lobby = ======= - Enemies: 4 Dryads - Items: Energy Drink - Flair: On a wall near the snack machines On a wall near the stairs On a wall near the monitors As you enter, - 4 Dryads - will attack you. By now you should be able to deal with them easily. From the lobby, there are only three places to go, the front entrance (which is locked), the security station (note this for later) and the Stairs. Break open the Soda Machine near the security station for an - ENERGY DRINK -, then head up the stairs. ======== = Stairs = ======== Head up the stairs and have Mei try to hack the electronically locked door. Doing so will cause - 4 DRYADS - to spawn in the lobby, they'll see your characters and engage. Deal with them. Once the coast is clear, have Mei (HACK) the door. (CODE: FREUD) Enter. Note: If you're fast enough, you can hack the door and escape before the Dryads can reach you. ========================= = Female Dorm - Stairwell = ========================= - Items: Handgun Ammo Before doing anything, grab the - HANDGUN AMMO - from under the payphones. Now head up the stairs. On the second floor you'll see an overturned Soda Machine. Have Sven (SIEZE) this and pull it away from the door. Once clear, enter that door. ======================================= = Female Dorm - Second Floor - Hall Two = ======================================= - Items: Energy Drink - Flair: On the wall, near the stairwell entrance On the wall, near the soda machine On the wall, as you head for the Girl's Bathroom On the wall, as you head for the Girl's Bathroom On the wall, on the way to the entrance to Female Dorm - Second Floor Only two ways to go: - To the right of where you first enter leads to the [Girl's Bathroom]. - To the left leads to the [Female Dorm - Second Floor] area. The Female Dorm - Second Floor is where you want to head next, but feel free to explore if you wish. Note: Across from the door you first enter this area from is a soda machine, break it to find an - ENERGY DRINK - ================= = Female Bathroom = ================= Nothing of intrest here, though Sven will make a comment when you examine the corpse spread across the sinks. ============================ = Female Dorm - Second Floor = ============================ This place should be familiar. Two things can happen here... - If the Jun Timer has expired you'll find a - BLOATED MUTANT - in the hall that will need immediate disposal. After the mutant is dead, feel free to loot the Soda Machine for an - ENERGY DRINK - then enter Jun's Room if you want to. Once you're ready, head for Jun's remains to activate a sad - CUTSCENE - after which you'll be sent directly to [4.0 - Hospital]. Skip down to that section. - If the Jun Timer is still active, you'll find a - BLOATED MUTANT - choking the life out of Jun. Shoot the mutant and it will throw Jun out of a window. Now you have to deal with the monster. Once it's dead, you'll discover that Jun is still very much alive and you'll need to check the security cameras to find her. Before doing that, head for Jun's Room; it's the door near the soda machines. On the way, feel free to loot the Soda Machine for an - ENERGY DRINK - NOTE: If you choose to allow the Bloated Mutant to finish with Jun, it will kill her and then attack your characters. If you let Jun die, you can approach her corpse after the Mutant is dead to trigger the - CUTSCENE - you would have seen had you arrived too late and will then be sent to [4.0 - Hospital] as above. ============ = Jun's Room = ============ - SAVEPOINT Not much here but the [SAVEPOINT], so go ahead and use it. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 7 ===== ======================= Time to go back to the lobby. ============================ = Female Dorm - Second Floor = ============================ Nothing new here, so keep going. ======================================= = Female Dorm - Second Floor - Hall Two = ======================================= Head for the stairs. ========================= = Female Dorm - Stairwell = ========================= Back the way you came. ======== = Stairs = ======== Keep going. ======= = Lobby = ======= Head for the Monitors you saw earlier, and (USE) them. Note: If you ran from any of the Dryads earlier, they will NOT be here. ========== = Monitors = ========== - Characters: Jun - Weapons: Spiked Club Your vantage point is one of looking through the monitor at Jun, while you are able to control Jun directly. One thing of note: You have NO WEAPONS and cannot use any of your ITEMS in this area. Also, as you move through this level the monitor will get a little snow... rotate the RIGHT STICK to tune the picture. Now, your goal is to lead Jun to safety... not as hard as it sounds. Move Jun forward and you'll find a - SPIKED CLUB - against the wall, grab it. Keep following the path and you'll come to an electronic door, you can see the locking mechanism at the top. These are the doors you'll need to pass through in this level. (so keep that in mind) Head through the door. On the other side, a - BLOATED MUTANT - will attack you. Kill or evade it, either way keep moving until you come across a wire fence with a boarded up entrance. NOTE: If you want to evade it, IMMEDIATELY run to Jun's left (the right side of the screen) as you pass through the the first door, otherwise the Mutant will corner you. Break the boards and pass through, a - DRYAD - will appear and try to kill you. Evade or kill it. Pass through the next door, keep moving and you'll come to another barricade. Break it to continue. Keep moving forward, there's only one real path, so keep going until the camera "mini-game" comes to an end. ========== = Basement = ========== Now you're in direct control of Jun, still no items, but at least the monitor is gone. Go forward, noting the chained crates blocking one path, enter the door just past them. In the next area, hang a right and take the door you find. On the other side, head forward until you find a breaker box. (USE) it to trigger a - CUTSCENE - ======= = Lobby = ======= - Characters: Sven Mei The door next to the monitors is now unlocked. Enter it. ================= = Basement Stairs = ================= Head on down. ========== = Basement = ========== - Enemies: Brute - Weapons: Spiked Club You'll find yourself near the breaker box; a - BRUTE - will appear almost immediately and need to be put down. Make sure to grab the - SPIKED CLUB - Jun dropped, it's on the floor near the breaker box. The Spiked Club seems to be one of the best melee weapons in the game, so don't miss it. Head in the direction the Brute came from, go up to the chained crates and have Sven (SIEZE) them, pushing them out of the way. On the other side, a - BRUTE - will break out of one of the rooms. Kill it. Take the door near where the mutant broke free, follow this path until you see Jun's corpse; approach it and a - CUTSCENE - will trigger. - NOTE: If you wander around you can also find Jun's severed arm elsewhere in this level. =============================================================================== 4.0 - Hospital =============================================================================== ========================= = Hospital - Second Floor = ========================= - Characters: Corey Amy - SAVEPOINT Use the [SAVEPOINT] on the wall before progressing. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 8 ===== ======================= Not much in this room, except 3 exits. - The Glass Windowed door leads to the [MRI Room]. - The Sliding door leads to a [Locker Room]. - The electronically locked door leads to the [Hospital - Second Floor Hallway] Hit the MRI Room first, then the Locker Room. ========== = MRI Room = ========== - Items: Keycard HERBERT WEST Small Key A - CUTSCENE - will play as you enter. After the scene, head to the computer and (USE) it to "somehow" open the locking mechanism, allowing access to the MRI machine.... but this also causes - 2 DRYADS - and a - BRUTE - to spawn when you try and enter the area with the MRI. The Dryads will appear over the MRI machine and the Brute will break in through a wall. Kill the critters and then enter the area with the MRI machine, grabbing the - KEYCARD (HERBERT WEST) - you find in there. On the way out of this room, head into the area revealed by the Brute to find a - SMALL KEY - on one of the shelves. Exit. ============= = Locker Room = ============= - Items: Small Key Handgun Ammo - Documents: Generic Report Hospital Floor plan - BONUS CHEST Other than the items, documents and [BONUS CHEST], this area holds nothing of value. The - SMALL KEY - is on one of the lockers. The - GENERIC REPORT - is on a desk near the lockers. The - HANDGUN AMMO - is in an open locker that faces the Television. Under the television is a table holding a torn map Amy will have to (INVESTIGATE). Careful though, as she examines it several - PARASITES - will appear and attack you. Once they're dead, finish investigating the scraps to get a - HOSPITAL FLOORPLAN - with a code on it (0108). Head back to the electronically locked door and use the code (0108) to unlock it. ================================= = Hospital - Second Floor Hallway = ================================= - Enemies: 2 Brutes - Items: Shotgun Shells - Documents: Generic Report - POWERBOX As you enter, you'll see a lit area to the top of your screen; head for it and prepare for combat as this area contains - 2 BRUTES -, one at either end of the hall. The lit area marks the place where the hallway branches off toward a magnetically locked door, it also gives you a place to fight where the Brutes can't surround you easily. Once they are dealt with you can explore this area fully. Now, back to the door you entered from... from there you will find: - Some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - directly across from the door. - A - GENERIC REPORT - is just to the right of the door. - Heading away from the lit area, you'll find a [POWERBOX] and a jammed elevator. - In the Lit Hall you'll find TWO DOORS you can enter and a [LOCKED DOOR] requiring 2 Keycards to open... and we only have one. Enter the door under the lights (G137). ====== = G137 = ====== - Items: Small Key The only thing of note here is the - SMALL KEY - To get it, head for the bed and push it to one side. This will give you access to the key. (note: in this case you must "walk" into the bed from the right side to push it off of the Small Key, no button actions required) Head back into the Hallway. ================================= = Hospital - Second Floor Hallway = ================================= Head back to the Locker Room. ========================= = Hospital - Second Floor = ========================= Enter the Locker Room. ============= = Locker Room = ============= Time to open the BONUS CHEST. Do so and you'll receive the - CROSSBOW - The crossbow is a pretty good weapon that fires explosive bolts. Save this for boss battles. Back to the second floor hallway. ========================= = Hospital - Second Floor = ========================= Moving right along. ================================= = Hospital - Second Floor Hallway = ================================= Head past the lit area and go to the door to the right of the magnetically locked door. ====== = G136 = ====== - Items: Handgun Ammo Grab some - HANDGUN AMMO - after you enter, it should be right next to the door. Head into the room, note the corpse and go to the closed window. Break the window and use it to head outside. ================= = Hospital - Roof = ================= - Items: Shotgun Shells Easy area. Break any crates you find and you may find some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - Next, have Corey (JUMP) up, crawl around and jump sideways until you reach the fire escape. Drop down and then open the grate so Amy can follow. Switch to Amy, head down the ladder and then climb the fire escape, you'll need to switch to Corey and have him lift her up. Enter the window. ============== = Patient room = ============== - Enemies: Breeder Parasites - Items: Key Card WILLIAM KLINGEMANN First Aid Kit - SAVEPOINT As you enter, a - BREEDER - and it's - PARASITES - will attack you. Breeders are annoying as they have powerful closeup attacks and a long tentacle that can grab your character at long range. They also seem to spawn PARASITES. Finally, after the breeder is killed it will release yet another HORDE OF PARASITES. Think of it as a "mini-boss". My advice, equip the shotgun and blow it to hell. Once it's dead, loot the room for a - FIRST AID KIT - under a chair near the only door in this room. To the left of the door you will find a [SAVEPOINT] on the wall and the - KEY CARD (WILLIAM KLINGEMANN) - on a nightstand next to a patient's bed. Use the savepoint now and exit. ======================= ===== SAVEPOINT 9 ===== ======================= ================================= = Hospital - Second floor hallway = ================================= You'll find youself near the elevator, use the POWERBOX if needed and then head for the magnetically locked door. (USE) each Keycard on the door once to open it.. then head through to trigger a - CUTSCENE - Yay! Shannon is back! ^_^ After the Cutscene, your characters will automatically run back into the hallway on their own, and then into the elevator. To get the elevator working, you'll need to do a puzzle where you rotate the power leads in such a way to restore power to the elevator. This is actually pretty easy, but if you take too long your characters WILL DIE! To complete this puzzle, rotate each dial so the colors match as shown below. As you connect the corners, the colored lights will turn on. Left top corner: [Green] to the right [Red] to the Bottom Left Bottom Corner: [Green] to the right [Red] to the Top Right top corner: [Green] to the left [Yellow] to the Bottom Right bottom corner: [Green] to the left [Yellow] to the Top After you complete this, a - CUTSCENE - will play. ======================== = Hospital - Parking Lot = ======================== - Characters: Sven Mei - Enemies: 4 Dryads - POWERBOX Head for the Hospital's front entrance and - 4 DRYADS - will attack you. Make sure to kill them before doing the next part. Next, head into the front entrance and break the glass covering a metal wheel. Switch to Sven and have him (TURN) the wheel; do so quickly, as a - BLOATED MUTANT - will appear and try to get under the gate you're lowering. Make sure to get that gate closed. Should you fail to do so, Mei will be killed automatically and you'll be forced to reload your last save. You cannot fight this one out. Once the front entrance is sealed, head through the front doors and up the hallway. Feel free to use the [POWERBOX] if you need to, and then enter the doors at the end. ==================== = Hospital Reception = ==================== - Characters: Sven Mei Corey Amy - Items: Shotgun Shells Energy Drink - BONUS CHEST After the - CUTSCENE -, talk to Professor James for a [BATTERY PACK UPGRADE]. Now loot the room, taking - SHOTGUN SHELLS - from the reception counter and breaking a vending machine for an - ENERGY DRINK - Your next set of goals lay behind the two doors close to the elevator, one is barred by a set of shelves and the other is open. - The Blocked Door leads to the [Demolished Corridor]. - The Unblocked Door leads to [Chemical Storage]. Use Sven to (SIEZE) the shelves and move them away. Keep Mei in your group (the other character doesn't matter) and head for Chemical Storage. ================== = Chemical Storage = ================== - Enemies: Two Brutes - Items: First Aid Kit Small Key Ascorbic Acid Handgun Ammo - Documents: Recipe for explosive The room isn't that small, but in close quarters the - 2 BRUTES - can do a lot of damage. Kill them quick. Once they're dead, you will be able to search the room for a - FIRST AID KIT - that sits behind glass on a shelf near the exit. Note the computer, but head into the other part of the room. Some - HANDGUN AMMO - sits on a shelf under a light. A - SMALL KEY - sits at the far end of the room on a small table, between a set of shelves and the wall, and across the room from the locked cabinet. Note the locked cabinet, we'll need a code to open it. Take Mei to the computer and (HACK) into it (CODE: EINSTEIN) and you'll be able to get a printout from the printer called - RECIPE FOR EXPLOSIVE - that also contains the code for the locked cabinet (CODE: 1634) Use the code on the locked cabinet and you'll be rewarded with some - ASCORBIC ACID - Head back to reception. ==================== = Hospital Reception = ==================== Take the door Sven had to unblock. ===================== = Demolished corridor = ===================== Across from the doors you enter this area from is the entrance to the [Morgue]. Just short of the morgue entrance is a blocked corridor; inside this you can use a broken window to enter the [Lab]. Hit the Morgue first. ======== = Morgue = ======== - Enemies: Parasites - Items: Small Key Block of Ice Glycerine Handgun Ammo - Documents: Autopsy Report Parasites, joy. Kill them and look around. On a small freezer to the left of the entrance is a - SMALL KEY - Make sure to get it. Near the open entrance to the freezers, sitting on a shelf, is some - GLYCERINE - that you'll need shortly. On the right side of the room, you'll find some - HANDGUN AMMO - on a counter. Nearby you'll also find an - AUTOPSY REPORT - Inside the freezer area, on the back wall, is a glass cabinet with a - BLOCK OF ICE - inside, break the glass and take it. Time to go, but be wary of any - PARASITES - that choose to spawn and bother you. ===================== = Demolished Corridor = ===================== Enter the Lab using the broken window. ===== = Lab = ===== - Weapons: Dynamite - Items: Small Key First Aid Kit Caustic Soda Bleach - Documents: Generic Report Generic Report - SAVEPOINT As you first enter this area, head to your character's right (left side of your screen) to find a - SMALL KEY - Head into the room, pausing to grab - GENERIC REPORT - off of one shelf and another - GENERIC REPORT - just past it. Grab the - CAUSTIC SODA - off of a shelf just past the reports. You'll note a lit lab station you can (USE), but don't use it yet, follow the wall past it to find a - FIRST AID KIT - just before a [SAVEPOINT] on your character's right, followed by some - FLASHBALL AMMO - on their left and finally at the end of this section of the room is a cabinet with some - BLEACH - inside. Head back to the lit lab station and (USE) it. Place the ingrediants in the following order: -> Bleach -> Ascorbic Acid -> Ice -> Glycerine -> Soda You'll get - 2 STICKS OF DYNAMITE - for your efforts. Time to save. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 10 ===== ======================== Head back to the demolished corridor. ===================== = Demolished Corridor = ===================== Back to reception. ==================== = Hospital Reception = ==================== Before doing anything else: OPEN THE BONUS CHEST for the - FLASHBALL - The flashball is an... interesting weapon. It shoots fast and seems to do light damage, but it also seems to stun enemies it hits for a very short time. Experiment with it. Next, ready the Dynamite, head past the reception desk and note the bricked up wall near the entrance to this level (as you entered from the parking lot). Toss a stick of Dynamite at the bricked area (make sure NOT to stand too close) and when the Dynamite detonates a new path will be opened. Now it's time to switch up your characters, take SVEN and COREY into the next level... you've no real choice in this. >_< ============== = Storage Area = ============== - Items: Shotgun Shells Energy Drink First Aid Kit Crossbow Bolts First Aid Kit Handgun Ammo This area requires a lot of switching between characters, so I'll break each set of actions down by character. Corey: - Leave him on the steps. Sven: - Take him to the ground floor, drop down and head for the stack of crates under the stairs. - (SIEZE) the crates and move them forward slightly. - Also, smash the breakable crates nearby for a possible - FIRST AID KIT - Corey: - Step down onto the stack of crates. Sven: - Move the crates forward until they're touching the shelves. (refered to here as Shelf 1) Corey: - (JUMP) onto Shelf 1, head to the right and (JUMP SIDEWAYS) to Shelf 2 - On Shelf 2, head sideways and then (DROP DOWN) to the lower part of Shelf 2. - Continue sideways to Shelf 3, then (JUMP SIDEWAYS) to Shelf 4. - Pull yourself up and then activate the lever next to the ladder to lower it. (This will allow you easier access should you need to come back up here) - Climb up and grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - - Climb up one more level. Sven: - Move past Shelf 4 and grab the second stack of crates, move it in front of Shelf 4. Corey: - Drop down onto the stack of crates. Sven: - Take the crates all the way to the other end of the room to shelf 5. Corey: - (JUMP) onto Shelf 5, move past the [SAVEPOINT] and head for and enter the freight-elevator. - (USE) the freight-elevator. - Make sure to grab the - HANDGUN AMMO - off of the ground (it'll be between the savepoint and the door) if it presents itself. Sven: - Grab the - ENERGY DRINK - from in front of the forklift. - Head around the room to the freight-elevator. - Near the base of the Elevator, you may find some - CROSSBOW BOLTS - and a - FIRST AID KIT - in the breakable crates. Corey: - Help Sven up onto the freight-elevator. Now head for the savepoint (you may need "both" characters on the same level to use it).... ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 11 ===== ======================== ...and then exit... whew... - CUTSCENE - ================ = Storage Area B = ================ - Characters: Mei Corey Kenny's not looking to good now. Boss Fight: Kenny ----------------- Equip your characters for a boss fight and start shooting. No real trick here, avoid getting hit and keep blasting. Kenny has three main attacks: - If you're close, he'll lunge at you. - If you're far away, he'll throw a cloud of black spores at you. - Sometimes Kenny will also leap across the room at you. Do enough damage and another - CUTSCENE - will play. Poor Mei. ;_; Now the second part of the battle will take place. - Characters: Shannon Stan Kick Kenny's sorry butt (as in do enough damage) and yet another - CUTSCENE - will play as our characters head for the next area. =============================================================================== 5.0 - The Dam =============================================================================== ================= = Outside the Dam = ================= - Characters: Shannon Stan Check your inventory, heal your wounds and head for the entrance to the dam. Inside, have Stan (PICK) the lock on the door so you can enter. ============== = Dam Entrance = ============== - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: Handgun Ammo - SAVEPOINT Grab the - FLASHBANG - off of one of the breaker boxes as you first enter this area. Make sure to break the crates sitting around for some - HANDGUN AMMO - as well. Only three things of note here: - A small elevation with a pair of large crates (remember this for later) - A fenced in area with a locked gate - A set of stairs leading to a [SAVEPOINT] and a door covered with a [BLACK AURA] Climb the stairs, dispel the aura using Shannon's power and then use the savepoint before entering the now uncovered door. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 12 ===== ======================== ============== = Old Corridor = ============== - Items: Small Key Skeleton Key First Aid Kit - POWERBOX - BONUS CHEST Head down the hallway and you'll eventually come to a boarded up door with a locked door beside it. As you advance, - PARASITES - will show up to annoy you, kill them and continue to the boarded up door. Break the barricade to gain access to a small room with a [POWERBOX] and a [BONUS CHEST]. Exit the boarded up room, and continue to the end of the hall. The path will T, with dead ends at either end. At one end you may find a - FIRST AID KIT - The other path is blocked by live electrical wires in a pool of water. Trying to cross this obstacle will only do damage to you. Ignore it for now, but plan on coming back later. Note: At various times, small hordes of - PARASITES - may spawn to attack you. Head back the way you came and a - BLOATED MUTANT - will break through the wall. Kill the creature and then enter the room it opened up for you. Inside you'll find a - SKELETON KEY - on a shelf. Have Stan (PICK) open one of the lockers within the room for a - SMALL KEY - Head back to the locked door (it's right by the barricaded door) and use the Skeleton Key on it. Enter. ============== = Storage Area = ============== Not much to do here now, pass the trash bins and enter the Steam Room. ============ = Steam Room = ============ - Items: First Aid Kit You'll find yourself in a room with several pipes venting steam. Just inside the opening to this room, you may find a - FIRST AID KIT - against the wall, grab it if it presents itself. Now for the puzzle part of this room. To pass this area, have one character (USE) the control panel. The goal here is to turn the levers, creating a path between the pipes by shutting off the steam within the narrow corridor. One small problem, you can't turn off "all" of the vents, one will always be on. So, with that in mind, keep turning levers until you make a small path through, then switch to your partner character and pass between the pipes. Switch back and forth, moving forward and turning steam on and off until the partner character is all the way through. The best way to handle this is to turn levers until vents 2 and 3 are off and you are able to alternate between 1 and 4... then you can turn off 1, walk your partner character to the area 2 and 3 cover and then turn 4 off, allowing your partner to pass to the other side. Fiddle with the puzzle, it's not that challenging... only tedious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 1.4: | - Apparently this puzzle is more tedious than I thought, so I'll add | a quick and dirty solution to this. | | - Handles | ------------- | 1 2 | Vent 4 (on) | 3 4 | Vent 3 (on) | 5 | Vent 2 (off) | 6 | Vent 1 (on) | | - Instructions: (note: all handles start off pointing to the right) | | Handle 1 - Leave this one alone (it'll be pointing to the right) | Handle 2 - Leave this one alone (it'll be pointing to the right) | Handle 3 - Flip this one (it'll be pointing up) | Vent 3 will turn off | Handle 4 - Flip this one (it'll be pointing up) | Handle 5 - Flip this one (it'll be pointing up) | Handle 6 - Flip this one (it'll be pointing down) | Vent 1 will turn off | | - Send your partner through, stopping just shy of vent 4 | | - Handle 1 - Flip this one (it'll be pointing up) | Vent 4 will turn off | Vent 1 will turn on | | - Head on to the main control wheel | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the other side, you'll see a ladder blocked by a steam vent, and across from it at the far side of the room is a single metal wheel. (TURN) the wheel to shut off all of the steam in this room. This will also allow your other character to join you. Now you can climb the ladder. Do so, follow the catwalk, and enter the door you find. ============== = Control room = ============== - Items: Handgun Ammo - POWERBOX Collect the - HANDGUN AMMO - off of one of the control panels (it's a bit hard to find, check the area where the panel meets the glass window), then head for the main control panel. (USE) it to trigger a - CUTSCENE - Note: Feel free to use the [POWERBOX] before triggering the cutscene if you need to. ================= = Outside the Dam = ================= - Characters: Sven Corey Head inside the dam. ============== = Dam Entrance = ============== The Black Aura is back, so you have to take a different route. Send Sven into the small area with the crates and (SIEZE) the first one. Push it forward and then (LIFT) it onto the one at the rear of this small area. Press the Circle button as prompted. Switch to Corey, and have him (JUMP) onto the crates. From there (JUMP) onto the pipe, slide over and then drop down into the area behind the locked gate. Flip the switch to unlock the door, and Sven should join you. Enter the open doorway. ============ = Power Room = ============ - Items: Shotgun Shells Small Key - POWERBOX - SAVEPOINT Grab the - SMALL KEY - off of a box near the open doorway and some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of the ground near the descending stairs. Use the [POWERBOX] if you're low on power and then the [SAVEPOINT]. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 13 ===== ======================== Take the steps down and enter the door. ======== = Sewers = ======== - Enemies: 2 Stage 2 Mutants - Items: Crossbow Bolts Shotgun Shells Drop into the water, and then have Sven climb up onto the ledge opposite the door you entered from. Have him (USE) the valve handle you find there to open a small panel in the wall. Inside you'll find some - CROSSBOW BOLTS - Continue down the sewers and - 2 STAGE 2 MUTANTS - (from ObsCure 1) will charge forward and attack you. You can't avoid them, so take them out and continue following the sewers until the path turns to the left. Keep going forward and - 2 BRUTES - will appear (one ahead of you and one behind). You'll be forced to kill these as well. In the area the Brutes appear you'll find a ledge with a door. Ignore this door, but be on the lookout for some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - on a ledge just past it (on your character's left as you advance) Keep going and the path will head to the right and lead to a door, enter it. ============== = Turbine Room = ============== - Items: Shotgun Shells First Aid Kit When you enter, grab the - FIRST AID KIT - if it presents itself. (It will be next to the wall, to the left of where your characters first enter this room) Take Corey down and use a moment to watch the blades; you'll need to time this right as the turbines can autokill your characters. Wait for the TWO FAST BLADES on the right turbine to pass and then IMMEDIATELY RUN FORWARD past the turbines, stopping in the area before the next turbine. You'll have a ledge on either side of Corey. (JUMP) onto the LEFT one and climb up, follow the catwalk to the end for some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - Head back to the ledge and drop down, then (JUMP) onto the RIGHT one. Head to the wall, (JUMP) onto the pipe above where you're standing and then slide over as far as you can go and then (DROP) down. Head to the ladder and (USE) the switch to lower it, now change over to Sven. Climb down and AVOID the first TWO TURBINES as above.... now watch the next Turbine as it's kinda tricky. It alternates between several fast rotations and then a single slow rotation. When you notice it slowing down, RUN FORWARD IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BLADES PASS where Sven is standing, if you wait too long Sven will be killed. On the other side, climb up the ladder and then use the open vent to enter the Storage area. ============== = Storage area = ============== - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: Soldering Tools This place should seem familiar. Have Sven (SIEZE) the garbage containers and move them out of the way, clearing a path through this area. Move the crates in this order: - Crate directly in front of your characters as you enter: Move it to the right. - Crate to the left of the double stacked crates: Move it to the bottom and then left to clear a path to the place Shannon and Stan entered this area. - First crate you moved in this area: Move this BACK in front of the vent to gain access to the lockers behind it. Open the lockers to find a - SOLDERING TOOLS - and a - FLASHBANG - You can now enter the Steam Room... but BEFORE YOU GET INTO A HURRY.. head for the Old Corridor. ============== = Old Corridor = ============== - Enemies: Parasites - Items: Small Key First Aid Kit Head toward the end of the T and to the place the wires were, kill any - PARASITES - that bar your path. Just short of the wires, have Corey (JUMP) onto a pipe high on the wall. Make your way over the electrified wires and drop down. At the end of this hall you'll find a - SMALL KEY - and a - FIRST AID KIT - Head back the way you came, bypassing the live wires and then head for the boarded up room to unlock the [BONUS CHEST] for a - FLAREGUN - The Flaregun is actually pretty cool, it's VERY SLOW to use, holding 1 round at a time, but it does set enemies on fire. While on fire, enemies can't effectively attack and only dance around, allowing you an easy kill. Head back to the Storage Area. ============== = Storage area = ============== Head for the steam room. ============ = Steam Room = ============ Climb the ladder and enter the Control Room. ============== = Control Room = ============== - SAVEPOINT Head inside and you'll get a [SYRINGE UPGRADE] automatically. (USE) the Soldering Tools on the control panel to fix the elevator, but before taking it down, use the newly formed [SAVEPOINT]. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 14 ===== ======================== Take the elevator down. ========= = The Dam = ========= - Characters: Shannon Corey After the - CUTSCENE - you'll find yourself in a boss fight. Boss Fight: Kenny ----------------- This one is a bit trickier than last time, the goal is the same, shoot Kenny until he drops, but there are a few changes. First, Kenny can and will leap around the room. Second, there are three LARGE crates around the room that WILL block your line of fire with ranged weapons. Make sure to have a clear line of fire before shooting Kenny. For his part, Kenny has several attacks he can and will use against you. - Kenny will spit a black cloud of spores at you. Not too damaging, but it will disrupt your attacks. - If you get too close, Kenny will take a swing at you. This attack will knock you down and is quite annoying. - If you stay in one place too long, and are close to one of the large crates, Kenny will make a leap attack, which again will slap you around if it connects. - He also seems to have a kind of "shockwave" attack he'll use if you get too close. Finally, be wary of standing on the metal grates... sometimes steam will blast out of it, disrupting your attacks. Once Kenny goes down, run IMMEDIATELY to the [WALL PANEL] nearest to him and (USE) it (you'll need to rotate the left stick quickly). Do this and you'll drop a huge metal pendulum looking thing on him. Now the fun part, do this THREE times to trigger a - CUTSCENE - showing Kenny's defeat. NOTE: Energy Drinks will sometimes spawn out from under the large crates, but only Kenny can destroy them, he will do this if you're standing near them as he attacks. ============ = Dam - Roof = ============ - Items: Flaregun Ammo First Aid Kit Handgun Ammo - SAVEPOINT Look around, notice the bridge but don't take it yet. There's a [SAVEPOINT] on a wall, but loot the area before using it. To the left side of the bridge you'll find a - FIRST AID KIT - on the ground as well as an open fence, pass through and you'll find some - FLAREGUN AMMO - on the other side. Now use the Savepoint. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 15 ===== ======================== Now it's time to take the bridge. As you do, - 2 DRYADS - will appear, damaging the bridge as they attack you. Once they are dead, switch to Corey and then (DROP) through the broken railing. Creep across the bridge, past the hole and then (CLIMB) up on the other side. Note the ruins of a small building and head for it, inside the ruins you'll find some - HANDGUN AMMO - and some - BOARDS - you'll need to fix the bridge. Collecting the boards will cause the bridge to be fixed automatically, allowing Shannon to join you. Follow the path past the bridge and you'll soon come upon - 2 BLOATED MUTANTS - you'll need to dispose of. Once they are dead, keep moving and you'll soon come to a door. Use the door. =========== = Old Shack = =========== - Items: Flashball Ammo Shotgun Shells First Aid Kit After the - SCENE -, head down the path and you'll come upon an old shack next to a lake. Just before the house, you'll find a large rock to the right of the steps, next to that is a breakable crate that might have a - FIRST AID KIT - inside. Climb onto the porch and smash any crates you find for some - FLASHBALL AMMO - and grab some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of the railing, then head into the boathouse. (USE) the lever you find there to lower the rowboat into the water. Head onto the pier and (USE) the boat to enter it. =============================================================================== 6.0 - Turtle Stone Island =============================================================================== ====== = Lake = ====== This part is either annoying and hard or very easy depending on how well you can navigate the boat. Give Shannon the Handgun and Shotgun and then switch to Corey, rowing the boat across the lake. UPDATE 1.2: It's possible to get through this without wasting ammo or taking much damage if you're quick with the boat, and feel like taking a chance. First, take ALL ranged weapons AWAY from Shannon and give her a decent melee weapons. While you're making your way across, she'll swat at the Dryads, knocking them away from you, rather than killing them. Doing this, you'll take few hits, and waste no ammo. The goal here is to find the [COVERED DOCK] on the other side. While you travel, a seemingly endless horde of - DRYADS - will attack, how many depends on how quickly you get across. No real trick here, just keep rowing, and head for the Covered Dock... approach it to dock the rowboat automatically. ===================== = Turtle Stone Island = ===================== - Enemies: Breeder Parasites - Items: Flaregun Ammo Flashbang - POWERBOX This area is completely linear. Use the [POWERBOX] on the dock and head inland. Just follow the path, killing any - PARASITES - that trouble you. Eventually you'll come to a fork in the path: - The left fork leads to a dead end with a - FLASHBANG - - The right fork leads to a [FALLEN TREE] with some - FLAREGUN AMMO - nearby. Cut through the Fallen Tree to continue, eventually you'll come to a clearing with a large opening in the wall face. Unfortunately this area also holds a - BREEDER - and - PARASITES - Once the enemies are dead, send Corey up into the opening and have him pull Shannon up. There you'll find a cave entrance that's covered with a [BLACK AURA]. Have Shannon deal with the Black Aura, and then enter the opening. UPDATE 1.2: It's possible to get through this without (much of) a fight. First, unequip all of your ranged weapons and switch to Corey. With Corey, beeline to the opening and jump up. Once there, switch to Shannon and have her run to the wall below Corey. Quickly switch to Corey and have him help Shannon up. You're now safe from the enemies, and will most likely have taken few hits. The reason it's important to unequip your ranged weapons is that your characters may waste ammo while you're switching back and forth, or worse, engage the Breeder. Finally, sometimes the Parasites will jump up with you, forcing you to deal with them. But the Breeder will stay on the lower level, freeing you from that fight. =================== = Pontoon snack bar = =================== - Items: Energy Drink Crossbow Bolts Flashball Ammo - SAVEPOINT Head forward and you'll see the Pontoon Snack Bar ahead of you. Approach the building and head under it; you'll see a small ledge under an opening in the floor. Climb up and enter the building. Note the [SAVEPOINT] on the wall, but loot the area before using it. Crack open the Soda Machine for an - ENERGY DRINK - Near the Savepoint are some crates, inside one you'll find some - CROSSBOW BOLTS - Near the breakable crates you'll also find some - FLASHBALL AMMO - ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 16 ===== ======================== Only one way to go, and it's pretty obvious, follow it until you trigger a - CUTSCENE - =============================================================================== 7.0 - The Creepy Old House =============================================================================== ====== = Lake = ====== - Characters: Sven Amy Ah, back to the lake. Fortunately, this time it's enemy free. Head across the lake to the [COVERED DOCK] and you'll automatically enter the next area. ================= = Wilderness Area = ================= - Enemies: Parasites Brute - Items: Shotgun Shells Energy Drink - POWERBOX There's a [POWERBOX] on the docks and some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - where the docks give way to land. Within a few moments, a - BRUTE - and a small horde of - PARASITES - will rush to your position and attack you, so be prepared. Kill them and then head along the shore, you'll come to a boat containing an - ENERGY DRINK - Head back toward the docks and take the path away from it, this will lead you to the Graveyard. =========== = Graveyard = =========== - Documents: Reconstituted Stele Annoying puzzle time. Have Amy (INSPECT) the debris just inside the entrance. Put the puzzle together and you'll get the solution to your next puzzle as well as a - RECONSTITUTED STELE - To complete this puzzle you must match the pictures on the gravestones so they form a picture like the one on the document. To do this you must (USE) the various gravestones, lowering any that do NOT match the picture. First off, take your active character to a tall stone gravemarker to the far right of the graveyard (it's the one with the hole it in) and (USE) it. You'll now have a view very similar to the "Monitor View" from the university. Since you now control your partner character, use him/her to (USE) the graves until the picture matches the one on the stele. This can be a pain, so just lower the ones on the diagram below. X = Standing grave O = Push this one down + = Grave Marker with the hole in it O X X X O X X X O + X X X O This will cause the door to the Mausoleum to open, so pass through it. Note: you don't have to use the holed gravemarker to complete the puzzle, but it may make it easier to complete the picture. But, if you merely use the marked graves above, the mausoleum will open regardless. ================== = Creepy Old House = ================== - SAVEPOINT There is a [SAVEPOINT] right next to where you enter this area, now is a good time to use it. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 17 ===== ======================== Head for the house, ignore the porch and head for the area to the right and under it. As you near this area, a single - STAGE 3 MUTANT - (from ObsCure 1) and - 2 STAGE 2 MUTANTS - will appear and attack you. (The Stage 3 appears from the graveyard and the Stage 2s from around the porch) Fight them, or (SIEZE) the washing machine blocking the basement entrance and move it, allowing you to use that door to escape. IF you fight it out, be aware that - 2 MORE STAGE 2 MUTANTS - will appear (from the graveyard) and join the fight a few seconds into the battle. After they are dead, go ahead and enter the house. Note: Unless you really want the Serum from these enemies, it's best just to flee. ============ = Greenhouse = ============ - Items: Energy Drink Handgun Ammo There is an - ENERGY DRINK - on one of the tables and some - HANDGUN AMMO - inside a breakable crate. Once you have these, head for the only other door in this room and open it for a - CUTSCENE - ================= = Wilderness Area = ================= - Characters: Shannon Stan Use the Powerbox if needed, and then head for shore to trigger a - CUTSCENE - After the scene, head for the graveyard: - 2 STAGE 3 MUTANTS - will appear and engage you. Kill or evade them. =========== = Graveyard = =========== Head for the Creepy Old House. ================== = Creepy Old House = ================== - Enemies: 3 Brutes - Items: Shotgun Shells FIGHT! - 3 BRUTES - now fill this area, kill them as you can't easily escape from them in this area. Once they are dead, grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of the ground near the Graveyard Entrance. Head for the front porch and have Stan (PICK) open the front door. Enter. NOTE: If you try and take the door Sven and Amy used, a - BRUTE - will break through the door and attack, also blocking that entrance to the house. NOTE: IF YOU FLED with Sven and Amy, a - STAGE 3 MUTANT - will be with the Brutes... making this a very challenging fight. Feel free to use a Flashbang to clear the area if this occurs. ============ = Front Room = ============ - Enemies: Parasites - Items: Small Key Energy Drink Grab the - SMALL KEY - off of a crate near the windows and an - ENERGY DRINK - from the dining table. Kill any - PARASITES - that annoy you. You can break the barricade over the fireplace, but you can't do anything with it yet so head over to the door with the [BLACK AURA] and have Shannon deal with it. Enter that door. ============== = Sitting Room = ============== - Characters: Shannon Stan Corey Amy - Items: Small Key - Documents: Written Note: Page 1 - BONUS CHEST A - CUTSCENE - will play as you enter. You now have access to 4 characters again, not that it really matters. Talk to Professor James for a [SYRINGE UPGRADE] and a [BATTERY PACK UPGRADE]. Look around the room, noting what's around: - The door to the right of the stairs leads to the [Storeroom]. - The door to the left of where Corey sits leads to the [Basement]. - The stairs lead to the [Second Floor]. Check the cabinet near the Professor for a - SMALL KEY - and the couch Corey sits on for - WRITTEN NOTE: PAGE 1 - Go ahead and grab Corey, we'll head back to the fireplace in the Front Room first. ============ = Front Room = ============ - Items: Cross Take Corey into the Fireplace, have him (JUMP) up to the high area and pick up the - CROSS - Head back to the Sitting Room. ============== = Sitting Room = ============== Head for the Storeroom. =========== = Storeroom = =========== - Items: Small Key Flaregun Ammo Crossbow Bolts There's a - SMALL KEY - on a shelf as you first enter this room. Past that, you'll find a breakable crate with some - FLAREGUN AMMO - Around the room, and on the other side of the shelf you found the Small Key on are some - CROSSBOW BOLTS - in a breakable crate. The door to the Greenhouse is also in here, head to that room and collect any items you missed earlier. Then head back to the Sitting Room. ============== = Sitting Room = ============== Put Stan and Amy into your group, and then head upstairs. Also make sure to open the [BONUS CHEST] for the - UBER FLASHLIGHT - ============== = Second Floor = ============== - Weapons: Flashbang The end of the stairs Ts to the left and right. - On the right side is a locked door leading to the [Second Floor Hallway]. Have Stan (PICK) the lock. - On the left side is a - FLASHBANG - near the end of the hall. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== Only two useable doors here. To the right is a door leading to the [Bathroom]. To the left is a glass windowed door leading to the [Child's Bedroom]. Break the glass to enter. Enter the Bathroom first. ========== = Bathroom = ========== - Items: First Aid Kit - Documents: Child's Photo Under the sink is a - FIRST AID KIT - and near the sink is a picture Amy can (INSPECT) - Doing so will give you the - CHILD'S PHOTO - This is a clue to a puzzle you'll soon have to deal with. Leave the room. ====================== = Second floor hallway = ====================== Break the glass windowed door and enter the Child's Bedroom. ================= = Child's Bedroom = ================= - Items: Cross - Documents: Written Note, Page 2 After the - SCENE -, head for the bed and take the - WRITTEN NOTE: PAGE 2 - off of the night stand. On the other side of the bed is a cabinet; open it to find the second - CROSS - Leave. ====================== = Second Floor Hallway = ====================== Time to go. ============== = Second Floor = ============== Down the stairs. ============== = Sitting Room = ============== Time to hit the basement. ========== = Basement = ========== - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: First Aid Kit First Aid Kit - Documents: Written Note, Page 3 - SAVEPOINT There's a [SAVEPOINT] next to the stairs, but don't use it yet. Explore first. In the middle of the room, you'll find 3 grave markers on a grid of squares. This is your next puzzle. But first, loot the room. On a shelf to the left of the grid is a - FIRST AID KIT - and a - WRITTEN NOTE, PAGE 3 - Past the shelf are some breakable crates, one contains another - FIRST AID KIT - Finally, there may be a - FLASHBANG - next to the puzzle controls. Now to the puzzle: You can look at the photo and puzzle it out, or you can just look at the diagram below. NOTE: The Photo was taken FACING THE STAIRS. First off, (USE) the Crosses on the two pillars that lack them. Next, head to the control panel on the wall between the grid and the stairs. (USE) the panel and then you'll control a hook and chain, the goal here is to place the pillars so they match the photo. Doing this will unlock the door just past the puzzle. # = Cross Pillar O = Empty square O O O O O O # O O O O O # O O O O O O O O O O # O STAIRS - USE THE SAVEPOINT NOW ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 18 ===== ======================== Use the door you unlocked to activate a - CUTSCENE - =========== = Mineshaft = =========== - Characters: Shannon Stan - Enemies: 2 Brutes - Items: Door Wheel Energy Drink - POWERBOX This area is pretty straightforward. Follow the path and you'll eventually see a boarded up area with - 2 BRUTES - behind it. They'll break through the barricade and attack you, so kill them. A [POWERBOX] is just past the now open barricade; beyond this you'll find a - DOOR WHEEL - on a barrel. Make sure to grab it. NOTE: If you come back here after leaving the area, a - FIRST AID KIT - may be resting on the ground just shy of the Powerbox. Just keep moving and eventually you find the shaft has collapsed next to a barricaded opening in a brick wall. Break the crates blocking the dead end for an - ENERGY DRINK - then break the barricaded opening. Enter. ============= = Old Tunnels = ============= - Enemies: Stage 3 Mutant - Items: Shotgun Shells Follow the path, this section MAY look familiar to you if you've played the first ObsCure. Eventually you'll come to a barricade, break it and continue, taking note of the heavy breathing. As you approach the T Junction, a - STAGE 3 MUTANT - will appear and attack. Kill the sucker and then grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - from the area near the collapsed section of the tunnel. Take the path the Mutant came from, break the barricade and head for the door at the end. (USE) the Door Wheel on the door and you'll now be able to open it. ============================== = Old Tunnels - Second Section = ============================== - Enemies: 2 Brutes - Items: First Aid Kit Flashball Ammo Welcome back, it's been a while. From the door you enter, you can only go two ways. - One path leads to a tangle of roots... Leonard's roots from the first game. You can't cut them with the chainsaw, but you can break the crates for some - FLASHBALL AMMO - - The other path leads to a dead end and a side path. As you near the side path, - 2 BRUTES - will rush out and attack you. Kill them. Once they are dead, head into the sidepath and use the lever on the wall. This will open a section of the wall, giving access to a - FIRST AID KIT - Head back to the dead end and note the single [SUPPORT BEAM]. Break the beam with a melee weapon and get WELL AWAY FROM IT as the ceiling will collapse. NOTE: If your character is under this while it's collapsing you will get an automatic game over. Once the ceiling has stopped falling, climb the debris to the next area. =============================================================================== 8.0 - Leafmore =============================================================================== ================== = Teacher's Lounge = ================== Welcome back to Leafmore. If you've played the first game, the layout of this place will be very familiar to you... Even if the place is in ruins. Check the wall next to the hole you entered from for some comments from Stan and Shannon. - 2 DRYADS - will spawn and attack you, so go ahead and kill them. Once that's done, enter the open door to the Teacher's Bathroom. ==================== = Teacher's Bathroom = ==================== There's an open vent you can climb up to, do so and enter the opening. ================= = Girl's Bathroom = ================= - Items: Energy Drink - SAVEPOINT Grab the - ENERGY DRINK - out of one of the stalls (yuck) and use the [SAVEPOINT]. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 19 ===== ======================== Exit. ============================== = Administration - First Floor = ============================== - Enemies: 3 Stage 2 Mutants - Items: Shotgun Shells Handgun Ammo Energy Drink Shotgun Shells Across from the bathroom entrance you may find some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - You will also find a glass windowed door leading to a Classroom. Head there if you wish... but it's not really worth the effort depending on your inventory, unless you're looking for Serum. Enter the main lobby area and - 3 STAGE 2 MUTANTS - will attack. Dispose of them and head toward the front entrance, where you will find an - ENERGY DRINK - Near the entrance is a breakable crate, bash it to collect some - HANDGUN AMMO - Climb up the debris to the second floor, break the crate you find there for some possible - SHOTGUN SHELLS - and then follow the walkway to a barricade. Bash that open and then drop back down to the first floor. Exit the double doors to trigger a - CUTSCENE - Note: If you really want to hit the Classroom, check the next heading, otherwise skip down to the [Courtyard] Heading. =========== = Classroom = =========== - Enemies: Brute Parasites - Items: Flashball Ammo - POWERBOX Nothing in here except the - BRUTE -, - PARASITES - and the [POWERBOX]. Depending on your inventory, some - FLASHBALL AMMO - may be under the powerbox. =========== = Courtyard = =========== - Characters: Shannon Stan Amy Corey - Items: Small Key Shotgun Shells - POWERBOX - SAVEPOINT Talk to the Professor for a [BATTERY PACK UPGRADE]. Lots to do here. Stand next to the Professor and use the camera to look around. There are buildings on three sides and a fence on the fourth. - Building A [ADMINISTRATION] lies ahead of you, across from the fence. - Building B [CLASSROOMS] lies to your right, beyond the path made by the flowers. - Building C [LIBRARY] lies to your left, but it is blocked off. Grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of a barrel resting near the fence, then head for building C. Alternately you can head for Building B if you want to use the [SAVEPOINT]. But hold off for now and loot this area. Head for Building C, and then a wall adjacent to building A, you'll see a barricaded stairwell. Break the barricade to find a - SMALL KEY - inside. Just past the stairwell is a [POWERBOX] against the wall. Past the Powerbox is a door leading to the [Parking Lot], this is our next target area. But first... Head over to Building B if you want and use the Savepoint, make note of the [CHAINED DOOR] for later. Before heading on, make sure to have Corey in the group, you'll need him. Note: Do not return to Building A [ADMINISTRATION] as the place will now be crawling with parasites. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 20 ===== ======================== ============= = Parking Lot = ============= - Enemies: Breeder Parasites - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: Small Key Energy Drink Handgun Ammo Flashball Ammo As you enter, a - BREEDER - and a small horde of - PARASITES - will attack you. Dispose of them and loot the area. You'll find a - SMALL KEY - sitting on a box between Building A and a metal railing. On the other side of the railing, and at the opposite end of Building A is some - HANDGUN AMMO - Finally, there may be a - FLASHBANG - on one of Building A's windowsills depending on your inventory. There is also an - ENERGY DRINK - near the door you used to enter this area. Across from Building A is a barricaded fence, break the barricade and pass through. You'll find yourself next to the Library, but there is no opening. Instead, you'll find a parked wrecker. (USE) the wrecker, and then use it to hook the [WRECKING BALL] that rests beside it. Next, swing the ball against the Library Wall three times to make an opening. If it presents itself, grab the - FLASHBALL AMMO - off of the wrecker. ========= = Library = ========= - Enemies: 2 Stage Three Mutants - Items: Cutting Pliers Energy Drink Inside you'll find - 2 STAGE 3 MUTANTS - in a fairly close area. Use a flashbang (if you have one) to kill them both easily or fight it out.. but you will have to fight no matter what. Once the coast is clear, climb the stairs and have Corey (JUMP) up to the second level. Take him around and to the end and you'll be rewarded with a pair of - CUTTING PLIERS - You may find an - ENERGY DRINK - near a bookshelf on the top level as well. Time to go. ============= = Parking Lot = ============= Nothing to see here, move along. =========== = Courtyard = =========== Take Shannon and Stan to Building B [CLASSROOMS] and use the Cutting Pliers on the chained door. Enter. ========= = Walkway = ========= - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: Flaregun Ammo First Aid Kit Small Key You'll find some - FLAREGUN AMMO - just inside this area, grab it. When you enter the main section of this area you'll notice two things, another [WRECKER] and a [LIFT] against the wall of Building B. Head around the Wrecker and you'll find a - FIRST AID KIT -. Grab that and then head for the lift, but head past it to the very end of the path. There you will find a - FLASHBANG - sitting on a barrel. Back to the lift. (USE) the Lift to access a huge hole in the roof of Building B. At the top, enter the demolished classroom, making sure to grab the - SMALL KEY - next to the door. Now use the door. ======== = Lounge = ======== - Items: Handgun Ammo - Documents: Leafmore Newspaper As you first enter the room, you'll find a - LEAFMORE NEWSPAPER - resting next to the wall. Looks like Leafmore won't be coming back. Just past the newspaper, on a shelf, you may find some - HANDGUN AMMO - It'll be directly across from the open doorway. Head for the open door and pass through. ============= = Classroom 2 = ============= - Items: Energy Drink - SAVEPOINT As soon as you enter, a really pissed off - STAGE 3 MUTANT - will bash its way through the wall. Kill this thing quick as you're in really close quarters. Once it's dead, use the [SAVEPOINT] on the wall. There may be an - ENERGY DRINK - next to the cabinet, close to the breakable crates. Exit using the hole the Mutant created. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 21 ===== ======================== ============= = Classroom 3 = ============= - Enemies: 3 Dryads - Weapons: Dynamite You'll need to deal with - 3 DRYADS - almost immediately, do so. You'll notice you're trapped, but the wall is severely damaged. Step back and toss a stick of dynamite at it. If you lack one, break the glass case in one corner of the room to find a single stick of - DYNAMITE - (sometimes 2) Once the way is open, head on through the opening. ========= = Hallway = ========= - Enemies: 3 Stage 2 Mutants - Weapons: Flashbang - Items: Shotgun Shells Crossbow Bolts As soon as you exit, - 3 STAGE 2 MUTANTS - will charge at you. You know the drill, make 'em dead. Once the coast is clear, break the crate near the classroom entrance for some - SHOTGUN SHELLS - Down the hall you'll see some construction equipment, but you can't use it yet. You can, on the other hand, have Stan (PICK) the lock on one of the nearby lockers. Inside is a - FLASHBANG - Head past the construction equipment and you'll see a barricaded door at the end of the hall, with a single door covered with a [BLACK AURA]. Also, next to the locker to the left of the barricaded double doors you may find some - CROSSBOW BOLTS - in a breakable crate. Have Shannon dispel the Black Aura, break the glass and enter the door. ============= = Classroom 4 = ============= - Items: Shotgun Shells Jerrycan Full of Gasoline - BONUS CHEST Not much to do here but loot. Grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of the table, open the [BONUS CHEST] for a - MINI SMG - and then use the Cutting Pliers on the locked Cabinet for a - JERRYCAN FULL OF GASOLINE - Leave this room. ========= = Hallway = ========= Head back to the Construction Equipment and use the Jerrycan full of Gasoline on it. You can now (USE) the Construction equipment. Do so. Manuever the bucket so it's on the other side of the wall and then drop the [WRECKING BALL] it holds. With that done, head for the barricaded door, smash the chairs and then exit. =========== = Courtyard = =========== Time to change up your group. Place Stan and Corey in your group, then head back to the walkway. (follow the flowers if you get lost) Make sure to recharge your Battery Pack before leaving this area. ========= = Walkway = ========= (USE) the Wrecker to get the Wrecking Ball, then bash the heck out of the nearby wall. (three whacks should do it) Enter this new opening. ================= = Into the Depths = ================= - Items: First Aid Kit Shotgun Shells First Aid Kit (unreachable) - Documents: Jedidiah's Letter - SAVEPOINT Drop down and take Corey to the end, grabbing the - FIRST AID KIT - and - JEDIDIAH'S LETTER - off of the ground. Climb up the hole at the end, drag Stan up, grab the - SHOTGUN SHELLS - off of the ground and then take a moment. Do the following things before doing ANYTHING ELSE: 1) Make sure your inventory is prepped for a boss fight. 2) USE THE [SAVEPOINT]. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 22 ===== ======================== Now, have Stan (PICK) the lock on the door. NOTE: There is also another - FIRST AID KIT - that will appear. It'll be high up on the wall, sitting on a pipe. For some odd reason you can't have Corey (JUMP) up to it, nor can you (BOOST) someone up to it... so it seems unreachable. ================ = Leonard's Tomb = ================ - POWERBOX After the - CUTSCENE - you'll find yourself in the middle of a... Boss Fight: Stan and Corey vs Jedidiah and Leonard (or what's left of him) -------------------------------------------------- This fight is actually fairly easy. Jedidiah will lumber toward your characters and attack with a chainsaw for an unimpressive amount of damage. For his part, while Leonard is protecting Jedidiah, he will attack with his remaining tentacles. He can also entangle your characters, forcing you to mash the X button to free yourself. As said, the strategy here is fairly simple. Shoot Jedidiah until he runs to Leonard. (the big plant) Leonard will wrap his tentacles around Jedidiah, this exposes a big bullseye above Jedidiah's head. Shoot THIS point and eventually Leonard will drop one of his tentacles to the ground. Quickly run over to this tentacle and attack it using the Electric Chainsaw to cut it completely off. NOTE: There is a [POWERBOX] in this room if you need to recharge your battery. Whether you cut a tentacle off or not, Leonard will then release Jedidiah after a short amount of time for another round of "Shooting the mutant". Repeat this cycle, and cut off ALL THREE TENTACLES to activate a - CUTSCENE - Once the cutscene ends you'll find yourself in a mini-boss battle: Boss Fight: Corey vs Jedidiah ----------------------------- Not much strategy here: Mash that X Button, Mash it good... or it's game over. After this you'll get: - A CUTSCENE - followed by - THE CREDITS - NOTE: DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR GAME YET... let the credits finish and you'll get... - ANOTHER CUTSCENE - And the game continues.... =============================================================================== 9.0 - Delta Theta Gamma - Revisited =============================================================================== This isn't a bonus level... the game really continues from this point... so keep going. ======== = Tunnel = ======== - Characters: Shannon Stan - Items: Medallion - SAVEPOINT You'll get a - MEDALLION - automatically after the cutscene. Take a moment to note that this is the ONLY item you have. All of your other weapons and items are now gone. You still have your documents... but big whoop. Also, your characters will be set to about 80% health; there is nothing you can do to prevent this. Follow the tunnel a short ways to reach a [SAVEPOINT]. You should really use it. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 23 ===== ======================== Head down the tunnel, and as you near the end a - SCENE - will play. After the scene you can exit the tunnel. Do so. ====================== = Nature Trail to Hell = ====================== You'll find yourself in the place Corey's car smashed the guardrail... waaaaay back when. Don't explore, as - 2 BRUTES - will appear after a small - SCENE - and want to fight. Unfortunately, you have no weapons... so run up the path to the Delta Theta Gamma building. ============================ = Delta Theta Gamma Building = ============================ - Items: First Aid Kit Energy Drink Head for the ambulance across from the front doors, nearby you'll find a - FIRST AID KIT - and an - ENERGY DRINK -; grab 'em as you'll need 'em. Head for the front doors. ===================== = First Floor Hallway = ===================== Head for the Dining Hall (door near the corpse). ============= = Dining Hall = ============= - Enemies: Bloated Mutant A - BLOATED MUTANT - has made it's lair here; as you're still weaponless you'll want to avoid it. Run to the LEFT SIDE of the room (as you enter) and follow the wall toward the old Bonus Chest, then rush for the opening in the wall. Doing this should allow you to easily avoid this creature. =================== = Kitchen Storeroom = =================== Don't wait around, enter the kitchens. ========== = Kitchens = ========== A - SCENE - will play as you enter this room. After the scene, head for the locked door you passed way back at the start of the game. With Stan you can now (PICK) this lock. Do so and enter. ============ = Dance Hall = ============ - Enemies: Breeder Parasites - Items: First Aid Kit And things were going so well.... The - BREEDER - and - PARASITES - are right in the middle of the room... and you're still weaponless. Forget your partner and use your active character to run to the elevated area you used to CLIMB DOWN into this area at the start of the game. Climb up to the area with the spotlight you used to dispel the Black Aura from the speaker and immediately use the door to exit this area. Don't worry about your partner, if you do this quick enough they'll take little damage and will exit the room as you do. ====================== = Cobbled Sitting Area = ====================== Now that the coast is clear, head back into the Dance Hall. ============ = Dance Hall = ============ Grab the - FIRST AID KIT - off of a table in one corner of this room, but don't go back down, as the monsters are still there. Head back to the Cobbled Sitting Area. NOTE: I'm not sure if grabbing the First Aid Kit at the start of the game will affect it's spawning here, but it's very likely. ====================== = Cobbled Sitting Area = ====================== - Weapons: Baseball Bat Flaregun - Items: Medallion Head across the bridge and down the stairs. Note the [HUGE DOORS] as you can now make use of them, but first you need to loot the corpse near the stairs on the opposite side of the room. Around the corpse are a - MEDALLION -, a - BASEBALL BAT - and a - FLAREGUN - Resist the urge to give your partner a weapon. Now head to the huge doors for the last real puzzle in the game (one that's almost as annoying as the map puzzle from the first ObsCure). - Door Puzzle: - Place the first medallion in the left slot and the second in the right - Use the left side: - First, turn the external medallion so the symbols are in this order: L O < - Second, turn the internal medallion so the L is at a 90 degree angle with the short end pointing to YOUR Right and the long end pointing toward the ground - You should get an OK after a few seconds - Use the right side: - First, turn the external medallion so the symbols are in this order from left to right: < O L - Second, turn the internal medallion so the L is at a 90 degree angle as above and the Pyramid's point is pointing straight up - The door should unlock and you should automatically go through it. ==================== = Outside the Museum = ==================== - Items: Disc Small Key Have Shannon dispel the [BLACK AURA] but do NOT move forward, study the area first. - You'll notice a - DISC - at the base of the stairs leading to the next building and a latticework on either side of the opening in front of you. - To get through this without a fight... - Go through the opening you uncovered using Shannon's ability. Run forward to the lattice on the right side of the next opening, but do NOT cross through the opening yet. You should be able to retrieve a - SMALL KEY - from this side of the latticework. This will ALSO spawn - TWO BRUTES - - Pass through the opening and run up to the - DISC - Take the disc and head up the stairs. - Enter the building. If done fast enough, you might get through without a scratch... don't bother fighting as you'll need all your ammo in a bit. ======== = Museum = ======== - Items: Small Key Small Key - SAVEPOINT A - SCENE - will play as you enter... this place is pretty big, but also simple. Ok, from the entrance: - Stairs near the entrance: head up them to find a - SMALL KEY - on a window between the first and second floor. - There is a [SAVEPOINT] between the first stairwell entrance and the Altar. - On the top level is a place where you can set two Discs, but note that you need one more. Place the first disc and head back to the bottom level. - The door to Museum - Leafmore Memorial is next to the stairs just past the Altar. - Throughout the main chamber are several pillars, each with a number. Note this for later. - Near the double doors at the end of the room is a - SMALL KEY - on a stand against the wall and a [3 DIAL LOCK] you will need the code for. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 24 ===== ======================== Once you've saved and have all three Small Keys, it's time to head for the Leafmore Memorial. ============================ = Museum - Leafmore Memorial = ============================ - Items: Disc First Aid Kit - Documents: Old Reports from the Brotherhood Old Reports from the Brotherhood - BONUS CHEST Before doing anything, give your partner the weapon you do not want to use (I'd suggest the Flaregun) and then head around the room. Ignore the items for now, you're looking for a fight. As you near the rear of the room - 2 STAGE 2 MUTANTS - and a small horde of - PARASITES - will appear. Take 'em out. Once the coast is clear, it's time to loot the room. On a stand to the left of where you enter this room you'll find two seperate documents, both are labled - OLD REPORTS FROM THE BROTHERHOOD - If you want them, make sure to get both. Past these is a [BONUS CHEST] - Open it to see a silent film showing the fates of Josh and Ashley from ObsCure: Learn about Fear. Jedidiah really had that chainsaw to the sternum coming after all. Away and to the right of the Bonus Chest you'll find a glass case containing the second - DISC -,so grab it. Also, in one corner of the room is a - FIRST AID KIT -; you'll probably need it at this point, so don't miss it. Once this place has been looted, feel free to look around the room, Shannon and Stan will have some commentary about the items in here, especially the mounted mutants. (A Biter from Obscure 1 and a Stage Three Mutant... as well as the never before seen Mortifilia plant) Once you're satisfied, leave the room. ======== = Museum = ======== Head up to the top level and place the second Disc. Rotate the three discs until their back is facing you. Note the red dot on each, and compare it to which pillar it points to below, this will give you the code for the 3 Dial Lock. (POSSIBLE CODES: 246 - 416) Note: The numbers on the pillars will change after you place and rotate the discs, so the door cannot be unlocked before you've gained the code, unlike some of the previous locked doors (the graveyard and hospital for example). Update 1.5: You don't even have to rotate the discs, just place them and the code will be set. Pillar Note: There are 8 pillars, and while the numbers change, the order used does not. (or at least hasn't for me) O = Pillar 1 = First Code Number 2 = Second Code Number 3 = Third Code Number 3 1 O 2 O O O O Head to the lower level, use the code on the lock and then pass through the now unlocked door. ===================== = Brotherhood Library = ===================== - Items: First Aid Kit Energy Drink - Flair: Read the Altar Book at the end of the room On a desk near the Altar Book Lots of fluff and a few items. After the - SCENE -, check the room out, making sure to grab the - FIRST AID KIT - off of one of the shelves. There is also an - ENERGY DRINK - on a table near the stone plaque set into the floor. Make sure to check the stone plaque for a character comment. Clear the blocked doorway and exit the building. ================ = To the Stadium = ================ Head down the path, stop at the [DEAD BODY] and grab the [DUFFLEBAG FULL OF WEAPONS] next to it. You'll find you now have the following additional weapons and items: - Hockey Stick - Golf Club - Spiked Club - Handgun with 50 Rounds - Flashball with 10 rounds - Crossbow with 2 rounds - Shotgun with 30 Rounds - Mini SMG with 120 Rounds - Dynamite 2 - 5 FIRST AID KITS Divide the weapons up as you see fit and head down the path. Eventually you'll come to a door. Enter. ================== = Stadium Entrance = ================== - SAVEPOINT Head to the [SAVEPOINT] and use it. This is the last save in the game. ======================== ===== SAVEPOINT 25 ===== ======================== Enter the stadium. ========= = Stadium = ========= As you enter, a - CUTSCENE - will play... was that really necessary? Nothing you can do about it, so get ready for a boss fight. Boss fight: Kenny ----------------- - Same situation as last time, shoot Kenny until he takes a moment to rest, head for the levers and use them to cause the place to fall down on him. Do this four times and it's over. Easy, eh? ...Not quite. First off, the levers are contained within special cabinets. ONE of the cabinets is open. One is closed. One is locked. One is covered with a [BLACK AURA]. Joy. On the upside, Kenny will bash the closed box open as he attacks. I believe this will happen automatically. You'll have to open the other two while Kenny is resting. You can't do it during the fight as any attack from Kenny will disrupt your actions. One thing in your favor is if you're quick about dispelling or lockpicking you can do this "and" activate the lever before Kenny rises again. For Kenny's part, he has two attack patterns, one on the ground and one from up high as he hangs from a wall. In either case, his main attack is to spit a black cloud at you. His secondary attack is to lunge at you, smacking you around if you're too close. So don't get too close. A fairly easy way to deal with the combat portion of this fight is to give ALL of your weapons to your partner and just run around. Kenny tends to focus on whoever you're currently using, while leaving your partner alone. Just run around, avoiding Kenny's attacks. When Kenny goes down, rush to the box of your choice and use it (or open it). Finally, when Kenny is hanging from a wall he can't be hit. Rule of thumb, if your partner isn't shooting, you shouldn't be wasting ammo. Anywho, after you activate the four levers, the battle is over and a final - CUTSCENE - will play. Congratulations, you've just beaten ObsCure: The Aftermath. After the - CREDITS - roll... the game really is over. =============================================================================== - End Main Walkthru - =============================================================================== 0.3 - Items/Weapons =============================================================================== ==================== == Consumable Items == ==================== Energy Drink - Heals a fair amount of health - 30% or so First Aid Kit - Heals a large amount of health - 70% or so Serum - Heals a fair amount of health - 40% or so Improved Serum - Heals a large amount of health - 80% or so Powerful Serum - Heals Fully Handgun Ammo - Used to reload the Handgun Shotgun Shells - Used to reload the Shotgun Crosbow Bolts - Used to reload the Crossbow Flashball Ammo - Used to reload the Flashball Flaregun Ammo - Used to reload the Flaregun Small Key - Used to open the various Bonus Chests in the game 3 Small Keys open a single Bonus Chest ================ == Special Items == ================ Battery Pack - Stores Electricity for your use Syringe - Used to create Serum from dead enemies ================= == Melee Weapons == ================= Hockey Stick - Pathetic Damage - seems to have slightly longer reach than other melee weapons Golf Club - Pathetic Damage - seems to have slightly longer reach than other melee weapons Baseball Bat - Weak Damage Spiked Club - Light Damage Electric Chainsaw - Light Damage - Uses Electricity from your battery pack ================== == Ranged Weapons == ================== Handgun - Light Damage - Good Rate of Fire - Holds 7 rounds Shotgun - Moderate Damage - Holds 5 Rounds - can hit multiple enemies - may do less damage at longer range Stun Gun - Weak Damage - Can stun normal enemies and mini-bosses Uses Electricity from your battery pack Crossbow - Heavy Damage - small area of effect - Ammo is rare Flashball - Light Damage - Can stun normal enemies - Fast attack rate Flaregun - High Damage - Sets enemies on fire - Slow attack speed - Does damage over time Causes distraction Uber Flashlight - If it has a use, I've yet to figure it out...

Remember, to get all 7 items, you must unlock all 7 chests. 1) STUNGUN 2) CROSSBOW 3) FLASHBALL 4) FLAREGUN 5) UBER FLASHLIGHT 6) MINI SMG 7) BONUS MOVIE (The fate of Ashley and Josh from ObsCure: Learn about Fear) The location of each chest is: 1) Delta Theta Gamma 2) Hospital 3) Hospital 4) The Dam 5) The Creepy Old House 6) Leafmore 7) Delta Theta Gamma - Revisited ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =================== == Weapon Analysis == =================== Below are descriptions of the various weapons in the game, as well as my own observations from using them. ----------- + Handgun + ----------- A Survival Horror staple, the handgun is the first ranged weapon you find. The clip holds 7 rounds and ammo is commonplace throughout the game. The weapon itself has a good rate of fire, but it's damage is not that strong. Enemies to use it on: Stage 2 Mutants, Brutes, Dryads Enemies you can use it on: Bloated Mutants (eats a whole clip) Enemies to avoid using it on: Stage 3 Mutants, Breeders ----------- + Shotgun + ----------- The other standard Survival Horror weapon. The shotgun is a powerful weapon, though ammo isn't as common as it is for the Handgun. It only holds 5 rounds, and is slow to reload, but it is a very strong weapon and it can hit multiple enemies if they're close together. The weapon's damage also seems to diminish the further the target is from you, but I haven't tested this enough to know for certain. Enemies to use it on: Bloated Mutants, Stage 3 Mutants Enemies you can use it on: Breeders, Brutes Enemies to avoid using it on: Stage 2 Mutants, Dryads (waste of your ammo) ----------- + Stungun + ----------- The Stungun is the first bonus weapon you find, and it's also a very useful one. It's powered with Electricity, and using it will eat your battery quickly. The damage is very light, but it can and will stun enemies it's used on. When used by your partner character, you can easily kill single enemies with a melee weapon, while your partner "stunlocks" the target with the stungun. This isn't 100% effective though, and until your enemy is stunned (usually knocked to the ground) it can still fight back. So be careful. Enemies to use it on: All solo enemies. Enemies to avoid using it on: Groups of enemies. ------------ + Crossbow + ------------ The crossbow, one of the best bossfight weapons in the game. This weapon does excellent damage in a small area, capable of killing groups of lesser enemies with one shot. The downside... it holds 2 rounds in it's "clip", is slow to reload, and ammo is painfully rare. A weapon best saved for bossfights. Enemies you can use it on: Stage 3 Mutants Enemies to avoid using it on: All others, even Breeders. (ammo is too scarce) ------------- + Flashball + ------------- This weapon is very... odd. First off, the ammo does virtually no damage. On the other hand, certain enemies seem to be quite vulnerable to it. Secondly, it has the ability to stun enemies, knocking them down for a short time. I can't be certain, but stunned enemies also seem vulnerable to attacks from other weapons. The weapon holds 4 rounds at a time, and ammo is semi-common. Test it out. On the upside, Kenny seems VERY vulnerable to this weapon. Enemies to use it on: Brutes, Bloated Mutants Enemies to avoid using it on: ALL OTHERS ------------- + Flare Gun + ------------- The Flare Gun is my personal favorite; it also happens to be the most powerful weapon in the game vs "normal" enemies. First the downsides: - 1 round in the chamber at a time - Slow reload speed - Slow attack speed - Does its damage over time Now the upsides: - Does as much damage as the crossbow - Enemies it hits are lit on fire, this causes them to become "distracted" (Distracted enemies can attack, but will not engage your characters - stay back from them and they will burn to the ground) - Can kill most enemies with one shot, if you wait for the damage to take effect. Ammo also seems to be semi-common. Finally, this weapon is particularly effective in the Leonard/Jedidiah fight. Enemies to avoid using it on: Dryads, Stage 2 Mutants (kind of a waste of ammo) Enemies to use it on: All others. ------------------- + Uber Flashlight + ------------------- I... have no data on this weapon. As of yet, I've not figured out how to effectively use it. All I know is that each use TOTALLY drains your battery pack. It should do something... but damned if I know what. ------------ + Mini SMG + ------------ This weapon is also a waste. By the time you find it, you're ready for the Leonard/Jedidiah fight. The second time you come across it, you're ready for the final Kenny fight. For what it's worth, when given to a partner character, they will avoid using it in favor of the Shotgun, but will use it before moving onto the Handgun. So it's probably fairly effective. ------------ + Dynamite + ------------ Can almost be qualified as a plot item. There are only 5-6 sticks in the game, and 2 are needed to open up walls. The last 2 you get before the final battle, leaving you with 1-2 stick to play with. My advice, save it for a boss fight because if you're too close when it detonates, you'll take quite a bit of damage from it. ------------- + Flashbang + ------------- Known as "Light Grenades" in ObsCure: Learn about Fear, the Flashbang is probably the best weapon to use against groups of normal enemies. It can and will clear entire rooms, being able to deliver an auto-kill attack in a large area. This weapon will kill "any" normal enemy in the game, and will do massive damage to Breeders (though not outright kill them) Semi-common, these weapons are best used in places with multiple enemies or more than one powerful enemy. (Like Turtle Stone Island, the Creepy Old House, and the Leafmore Library) ----------------- + Melee Weapons + ----------------- Unlike the other weapons in the game, I won't bother describing each of the melee weapons individually. They're more or less all the same. Melee Weapons are a mixed bag, they use no ammo (except the Electric Chainsaw, which uses Electricity), but do weak damage. The best use for a melee weapons is vs single enemies or used in conjunction with the stungun. Enemies to use these on: Parasites, Dryads =============================================================================== 0.4 - Enemies/Bosses =============================================================================== A note about the information presented below: Creature Names -------------- - As the creatures in this game are never referenced by name, (with the exception of "Black Aura", "Parasites", Leonard/Jedidiah, and Kenny), all names below are created by me as a means to reference the creatures you encounter. In the case of enemies returning from ObsCure: Learn about Fear, I used the names that I used in that Faq to remain consistant. Combat Data ----------- - Each enemy entry contains information telling you how many rounds of ammo you will need to kill each one. This should make it easier for you to decide how you want to deal with each enemy as you encounter them. Combined with the item/weapon locations in the main walkthru, you should be able to easily ration your ammo as you play through the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===================== == Returning Enemies == ===================== These are creatures that were in ObsCure: Learn about Fear. ------------------- + Stage 2 Mutants + ------------------- Humanoid creature with tentacles sprouting from it's mouth. Fairly fast and agile, can be deadly in groups. Somewhat fragile. Handgun - 6 Shotgun - 2 Crossbow Bolts - 1 Flashball - don't bother Flaregun - 1 ------------------- + Stage 3 Mutants + ------------------- Large Humanoid Creatures with long tentacles growing from it's mouth. VERY strong, with powerful attacks. Can kill your characters quickly with its long reach melee attacks. Can knock your characters down, leaving them vulnerable. Handgun - 14 Shotgun - 5 Crossbow Bolts - 2 Flashball - Don't bother Flaregun - 2 -------------- + Black Aura + -------------- The Black Aura is back, but now only an obstruction, rather than a real hazard. This can be dispelled using powerful lights (in one place) or using Shannon's power (in all others) =============== == New Enemies == =============== These creatures are new, introduced in ObsCure: The Aftermath ---------- + Brutes + ---------- Powerful looking humanoids with clawed tentacles starting to sprout from their face. Similar to the Stage 2 mutants, but faster and stronger... but not as durable. These enemies can make quick lunge attacks and can dart from side to side, making them difficult to hit with melee and ranged weapons. Handgun - 4-5 Shotgun - 2 Crossbow Bolts - 1 Flashball - 3 (1 to stun and 2 to kill) Flaregun - 1 ------------- + Parasites + ------------- Weak enemies with weak attacks, similar to the Biters from ObsCure: Learn about Fear. Tend to attack in groups, and are difficult to hit with ranged weapons. Smack them around with melee weapons like the baseball bat or hockey stick. Special attack: Parasites can climb onto your character and cover their face, forcing you to fight it off. While it's on your character's face, they are vulnerable to attack. Note: If your partner has one on their face, take a swing at your partner to nock the parasite loose. ------------------- + Bloated Mutants + ------------------- Huge Humanoid creature, with massive arms. These enemies have excellent reach and can lunge at your characters. If they hit, they can knock you down and tend to do large amounts of damage. In groups, these things can be deadly. Take them out with ranged weapons. Single Bloated Mutants can be killed fairly easily with melee weapons... If your partner is using the stungun on them. Handgun - 9 Shotgun - 3 Crossbow Bolts - 1 Flashball - 6-7 Flaregun - 1 ---------- + Dryads + ---------- Armless, semi-humanoid creatures that fly. Very plant-like in appearance. Personally, I think the developers put them in the game to be annoying. Fast, with quick attacks, a Dryad can quickly grind away on your health. They aren't tough, and if you're good with melee weapons, you can kill them easily without wasting ammo. Handgun - 2-3 Shotgun - 1-2 Crossbow Bolts - 1 Flashball - 2 Flares - 1 ------------ + Breeders + ------------ Mini-boss (more mobile, but very similar to the Blobwoman/Queen from Obscure: Learn about Fear) Deformed, four-legged monster, capable of creating parasites. These enemies are very tough, so much so they are best defined as mini-bosses. The Breeders are always accompanied by a small horde of parasites, and can create them. Finally, when killed, the Breeder will release several parasites that will need to be killed. For it's attacks, the Breeder has powerful close up attacks with its limbs, and a long tentacle attack that can hit and entangle your characters at long range. Handgun - 25+ Shotgun - 7-8 Crossbow Bolts - 3 Flashball - Don't Bother Flares - 3 ========== == Bosses == ========== These are the bosses in ObsCure: The Aftermath - more detailed info about each battle is found in the main walkthru where the battle occurs. ========= = Kenny = ========= ---------- - Part 1 - ---------- This is a two stage battle, and as such isn't that difficult. Kenny will attack either with a fairly strong lunge attack of a fairly weak cloud of black spores. Not too tough, Kenny falls fairly easily. ---------- - Part 2 - ---------- This is a three stage battle, somewhat challenging on a first time playthrough. Kenny's attacks at this point include the previous attacks from the first battle as well as adding a lunge attack that will knock your characters down and do a fair amount of damage. ---------- - Part 3 - ---------- Four part battle, and more of the same. The only real difference is that Kenny can now climb the walls of the room, placing him out of reach of any of your weapons (including guns) He's also a bit tougher than in battle #2. ==================== = Leonard/Jedidiah = ==================== Three stage battle. Shoot Jedidiah (who will attack you with a chainsaw for a fair amount of damage) until he runs to Leonard. Once Leonard wraps his tentacles around Jedidiah, shoot the white dot above Jedidiah's head, while avoiding Leonard's tentacle attacks. Leonard's attacks include a tentacle sweep, which will damage you and knock you down, and a tentacle slam that causes a small shockwave that can knock your characters around. He can also entangle you with his roots, forcing you to mash the X button to free yourself. ============ = Jedidiah = ============ Easy or hard depending on your X Button mashing skills. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================== == Fighting Enemies == ==================== Unlike most games, ObsCure: The Aftermath's enemies can all be taken down in just the same way, the only variable is how many hits it takes to bring them down. Handgun, Shotgun, Melee Weapons, Special Weapons... it doesn't really matter. Every enemy is vulnerable to just about every weapon, with the exception of the lightball. Just start shooting/swinging and they'll go down fast enough. As enemies tend to beeline toward your characters, just pick the weapon you want to use and start shooting. The trick is in avoiding "their" attacks. If at all possible, never allow enemies to get close to you, and then if you must, never get close to groups of enemies. Many of the creatures in this game have attacks that can knock your characters down, allowing the creatures to "stun-lock" you into position as it kills you. If you have to get close to an enemy, do so vs solo creatures, and then make sure your partner is using the stungun... this will make such fights far easier. =============================================================================== 0.5 - Document Transcripts/Flair Transcripts =============================================================================== Notes about Documents and Flair: Documents are in-game memos, images and text you can pick up and read that add to the overall story of the game, fill in the plot and sometimes provide clues to in-game puzzles. These items are found in the game, and once collected, can be found in your Inventory Menu. Flair are similar to Documents, but with a few exceptions, only add to the feel of the area they are found in, adding little to the story as a whole. Documents are listed in the order you will generally encounter them within the game. Flair are listed in the same way, but are divided into subsections based on which parts of the game they are found. Both are transcribed here for completeness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================== ===== Document Transcripts ===== ====================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================== = Reconstituted document = ========================== [Image: Three vertical lines cut by a single horizontal line.

From 9 recorded patients last month, the figure has increased to 34 today. Everything points to a general lack of moral standards when considering how fast the contamination has spread. The disease is developing mainly among those who enjoy nights of binge-drinking, and unprotected intercourse. This new virus is easily transmitted through bodily fluids. On the other hand, "traditional" STD's are in regression. It is like the new virus is killing off the competition[...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================= = Hospital floor plan = ======================= [Image: A reconstructed map of the hospital floor plan.] [ The numbers 0108 are on the picture in red ink.] [Note: This is a code to a door in the Hospital. ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== = Generic Report = ================== [...] Fallcreek campus is plagued by a collective psychosis. The mental affliction is strangely contradictory: on the one hand it causes a profound sexual anxiety and, on the other, a hyperactive libido. The students are disorientated, and are torn between their fears and an insatiable sexual appetite. Some have recurring nightmares that reveal primitive and violent emotions emerging from their subconciousness[...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================== = Recipe for explosive = ======================== How to Make Nitroglycerine Recipe summary: Bleach Ascorbic acid (code: 1634) Ice Glycerine Soda Make sure you follow the following order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== = Autopsy report = ================== Male subject 22 years old. Rh factio 0 neg. Cause of death: Victim bled to death after having been cut and raked by an unknown weapon [...] Remarks: The body contains traces of an unknown black substance, concentrated in the lungs and in the genital area. The lungs are definitely the first area that was exposed to the substance (which seems parasitic in nature); probably after taking some kind of narcotic via the respiratory system. This death is to be connected with that of the girlfriend of the victim. Her lungs were completely clean, contrary to her reproductive organ. Contagion through genital contact with any of the bodies mucus membranes (through intercourse for example) seems likely at this point. I recommend an epidemiological study at Fallcreek Academic Hospital to identify the viral agent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== = Generic report = ================== The flower seems to be the product of a cross between several parasitical plants. It is able to relieve pain and act as an anaesthetic, but causes extremely lucid and frightening hallucinations as well. There are indications that the flower has enjoyed some popularity as a party drug amongst the student population of Fallcreek. As they opened their petals this evening, the flowers released a massive cloud of black spores that seemed to act independent of each other during their dispersal. At the same time that the flowers blossomed, their parasitic spores activated themselves in the bodies of those who had used them for recreational purposes. This process remains unexplained, but it is certain that the metamorphosis of the students took place at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== = Generic report = ================== The flower is sensitive to light. Nevertheless it has a very effecive defense system: if exposed to a source of light it closes its petals hermetically, protecting it's photosensitive cells. Sunlight was unable to prevent its propagation throughout Fallcreek County. The flowers feed and propagate from a supremely widespread root system which - in order to destroy it - must be terminated at the source.

A team of experts was sent to the site and found that the basement of the school was flooded and that there was some kind of parasite infestation. Parents took the opportunity to bring up the case of the unexplained disappearance of students from the boarding school. "It is unacceptable to ignore the pain of the parents in this way", declared Mr. Craig, the father of one of the victims, who thinks that "the cover-up of this matter seems to be convenient for a lot of people in high places" [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===================== = Jedidiah's letter = ===================== April 18, 1903 I'm stuck here, at Leafmore. My body can no longer tolerate light after I injected myself with mortifilia cells. It's changing... I can no longer move. Undoubtedly, I won't be able to write anymore soon. I failed. Instead of giving me eternity, mortifilia is going to kill me. How ironic! I leave behind me my young son, Jedidiah. The genes I transmitted to him during conception were already mutating. Even so, his mother and I wanted him to live. He is strong, but his psychological state is troubling. At times he can be very agressive. Mortifilia has powers that exceed my predictions. My emotions are changing. Anger rises in me more and more frequently.

It also has the aim of transmitting to students the noble values that come from the three pillars of the fraternity. "Knowledge and excellence in the service of humanity." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st pillar: Knowledge "When you open up a school, you close down a prison." Victor Hugo Obscurantism imprisons Man, knowledge frees him. Our Brothers and Sisters must thirst for knowledge. Their culture and their openness will enlighten their choices and will guide their steps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Pillar: Excellence "He who seeks perfection obtains excellence." Jori Cazilhac Achievement of self is the key which will allow you to overcome all obstacles. Our Brothers must have tremendous will to exceed their limits. Perfection and excellence will guide their steps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd pillar: Philanthropy "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." George Bernard Shaw Humanity is the first of the virtues. Our Brothers and Sisters must always reflect on the consequences of their actions and place humanity at the forefront of their priorities. Altruism and philanthropy will guide their steps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================ = This one is found on the way to the Hospital = ================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Stalker of Fallcreek Forest has struck again!

You will thus guarantee the triumph of reason over the ignorance of mankind. Medicus curat, natura sanat. The doctor treats, but it is nature that heals. Jared Crowly, Founding Father (1760-1852) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From William James, October 25, 1902 Dear Leonard, We can no longer deny that the incredible plant you brought back from Africa slows down the cellular aging process. In fact, it stops it completely! We shall cure humanity of its greatest affliction: we will kill death itself! We still need to refine the process so that it will be compatible with the human body. I understand the passion you put into your quest, but as none of your guinea pigs have survived to date, it would be suicidal to try it on yourself! [...] From William James, May 8 1903 Dear Herbert, We know that the noose is drawing tighter. Using your students as guinea pigs was the height of foolishness! Fortunately, the complaints from the parents will not have any consequences. The fraternity has already called upon highly placed former members in the government. The case will soon be hushed. Research must continue! We must save your brother Leonard, and this project. To this end, we will regularly send you new test subjects through unofficial channels. [...] =============================================================================== 0.6 - Bugs =============================================================================== So far I've only encountered two bugs, both involving the locking of the game. - Mild locking where the game will "pause" for a few seconds - Complete lockup This seems to be completely random, with no definite place that it happens during the game. Update 1.2: I've encountered another bug. If you skip cutscenes, sometimes the vocals will be messed up. The subtitles will still play, but the speech will not. Update 1.3: Locking Bug: I've noticed that when I skip cutscenes, a mild lockup will sometimes occur right after. It may be my disc, or machine, or the game itself. Without confirmation from an outside source, I can't be sure. Update 1.5: The Targetting Prf. James Bug - Sometimes, in the courtyard at Leafmore, you can target Professor James with weapons (even a target dot appears). I'm not sure if this is a bug, or some leftover scrap from what the game might have been.... maybe Prf. James was killable at one point? =============================================================================== 0.7 - Version History =============================================================================== 1.0 - Initial Version.
