Guide to Heavy Rain's 'The Lizard' chapter. Learn how to find the key, choose a tool for self-mutilation, and earn the 'Gold Finger' and 'Butcher' Trophies.
Walkthrough
- 1Find the address in a burned-out apartment.
- 2In the hallway, find a key hidden inside a porcelain lizard on the right side. Break the lizard to get the key.
- 3Use the key to unlock the door at the end of the hall.
- 4Enter the room and touch the video screen.
- 5Within five minutes, Ethan must cut off one of his fingers. You can choose to leave the room or find a tool and begin.
- 6Available tools: knife (kitchen wall), scissors (bathroom sink), axe (next to TV), pliers (TV stand), saw (right of table).
- 7Optional helpful items: iron rod (outside kitchen - heat on stove), wood (upper left corner - bite to calm nerves), whiskey (kitchen drawer - drink to control pain, but more than two blurs vision), disinfectant (bathroom medicine cabinet - clean finger before cutting).
- 8To earn the 'Gold Finger' Trophy, use disinfectant and a heated iron rod with the knife, axe, or pliers.
- 9To earn the 'Butcher' Trophy, use the saw or scissors.
- 10Sit in the chair to begin.
- 11Optional: Calm Ethan's nerves by slowly pressing up and then down. Do this twice for the saw or axe, once for the pliers. Skipping this with the knife or scissors makes controller commands easier.
- 12When prompted, press [Square] to calm nerves one last time.
- 13Hold L1, then R1, and thrust the controller down to cut.
- 14If using the axe or pliers, the job is done.
- 15If using the knife, one more chop is needed.
- 16If using the saw or scissors, shake the controller up-and-down for a few seconds to slice through bone, then thrust down to snap it.
- 17If you heated the iron rod, pick it up and hold Up to cauterize the wound.
- 18After the act, get under the table and punch a hole through the floorboard to collect the next address chip.
Tips
- The pliers offer the cleanest cut. The axe and knife are also quick.
- Avoid the saw or scissors unless going for the 'Butcher' Trophy, as they are described as excruciating.
- Disinfecting and cauterizing the wound is recommended for the 'Gold Finger' Trophy.
