Follow this Heavy Rain guide to complete Madison's Discovery chapter. Learn how to pick locks, find secret rooms, and escape the killer's burning apartment.
Walkthrough
- 1Madison arrives at the killer's apartment. Attempt to open the door, then use lockpicks.
- 2To open the door, you'll need to perform a series of difficult controller actions: grip the controller with your left hand, hold it away from your body, hold R1 and L1, rapidly toggle the right analog stick up and down, toggle the control stick left and right, and finally, turn the whole controller left like a steering wheel.
- 3Once inside, open the closet near the desk. Move clothes, tap Up twice, and mash [O] to reveal a secret room.
- 4Check the computer. You'll be prompted for a password. If you recall a name mentioned by Ann, select it when it appears to find Shaun's location. There are six possible passwords; the correct one is Max.
- 5If you try the wrong password four times or attempt to leave after finding the address, the killer returns. To escape, rip out the CPU and use it to break the wall. This will shut off the computer, losing your chance to find Shaun's location if you hadn't already.
- 6To rip out the CPU, hold [Square] and shove the controller up. Go to the opposite wall, bang the controller against the left side to break through a weak spot. Shake the controller up-and-down to enlarge the hole, then crawl through by holding R1, [Triangle], and R2.
- 7The killer sets the apartment ablaze. To make Madison safer, turn on the shower and soak her clothes.
- 8Open the door and navigate the burning apartment. Hold down [Square], L1, and R2, release them, and tap Up to leap over flames. Stay towards the edges of the room. If Madison catches fire, shake the controller up-and-down to extinguish it.
- 9Reach the easy chair. Push it aside by holding [Square] and [X] and mashing L1. Avoid windows due to falling debris and the risk of death from falling.
- 10Head towards the door into the next room, past the desk, to the filing cabinet. Push it over by holding [Square] and [X] and mashing R1, then climb on top.
- 11To clear the next gap, hold [O], L1, and R2, release them, and press L1.
- 12Enter the kitchen through the door on the right and open the refrigerator. Shake the controller up-and-down to clear its contents. To squeeze inside, hold down [Square], [X], and R1. This action triggers an explosion, and Madison survives, earning the "Cold as Ice" Trophy.
- 13If you found Shaun's location, you can call Ethan or Jayden before heading there yourself. You can only call one. Choose one, skip the call, or go solo.

- There are only six possible passwords, giving you ample time to try them all before escaping.
- If you get caught in the fire, shaking the controller is crucial to survival.
- Avoid windows in the burning apartment; falling debris can set Madison on fire.
