The Medical Center

The Medical Center is a crucial early-game area where Vincent and Leo can gather important information and items to aid in their escape. This section details the steps to navigate the ward, interact with key characters, and secure necessary tools.

Initial Entry and Observation

Upon entering the Medical Center, your primary objective is to observe and interact with the environment to understand the layout and identify potential opportunities. The area is typically under moderate guard, so stealth and coordinated actions are key.

  • Vincent's Role: As Vincent, you'll often be the one engaging in conversation or distracting guards.
  • Leo's Role: Leo will typically be tasked with more physical interactions or accessing restricted areas.

Gathering Information from Patients

Several patients in the Medical Center hold pieces of information that can be useful. Approach them cautiously and initiate conversations.

  • The Bedridden Patient: Located in the first room on the right, this patient can provide details about the guard's routines or the layout of the back rooms.
  • The Pacing Patient: Found near the central nurses' station, this individual might offer a distraction opportunity or mention a specific item's location.

Accessing the Back Room

The back room of the Medical Center is where critical items are often stored. Gaining access requires a coordinated effort.

  1. Distraction Strategy: One player (typically Vincent) should engage the nurse at the main desk in conversation. This will draw their attention away from the back room door.
  2. Door Access: While the nurse is distracted, the other player (Leo) can discreetly approach the back room door. You'll need to interact with the door to either pick a simple lock or find a key nearby.
  3. Key Location (if applicable): If a key is required, check the nurse's desk or a nearby cabinet. It's often in plain sight but requires quick action to retrieve without being noticed.

Securing the Chisel

The Chisel is an essential tool for your escape plan. It is typically found within the Medical Center's back room.

  • Location: Once inside the back room, look for a workbench or a storage cabinet. The Chisel is usually placed prominently on a shelf or hanging on a tool rack.
  • Retrieval: Interact with the Chisel to add it to your inventory. Ensure both players are aware of its acquisition.

Exiting the Medical Center

After securing the Chisel and any other necessary information, carefully make your way out of the Medical Center. Be mindful of any guards who may have changed their patrol routes or returned to their posts.

  • Coordinated Exit: Stick together and use the same distraction or stealth tactics you employed to enter.
  • Avoid Detection: If a guard spots you, be prepared for a quick chase sequence or a brief altercation.
