Warehouse Key Acquisition

Early in Jill's journey, securing the Warehouse Key is essential for escaping the initial warehouse area and proceeding into the city.

  • Location: Office within the Warehouse.
  • Steps:
    1. After entering the main floor of the warehouse, head towards the back right corner.
    2. Ascend the metal stairs located there.
    3. At the top of the stairs, turn right. Follow the short corridor.
    4. The entrance to the office will be directly ahead. Enter the office.
    5. Upon entering the office, the Warehouse Key is immediately visible on the wall to your right.
    6. It's advisable to check nearby filing cabinets and shelves within the office for useful items like AR Bullets or the Rusted Cog if you haven't found it yet.
    7. Exit the office and make your way to the large door at the far end of the warehouse, using the Warehouse Key to unlock it.

Lighter Fluid and Shotgun Retrieval

Following your escape from the warehouse, a new safe-haven and immediate threats await, along with critical supplies.

  • Location: Small building with a gold door, accessible after exiting the warehouse.
  • Steps:
    1. After leaving the warehouse proper, proceed through the alley and door to reach a street area.
    2. Continue forward past a crashed car. A large, distinctive gold door will be visible ahead.
    3. Enter the building through the gold door.
    4. Inside, a cutscene will play where Brad Vickers rushes past, pursued by Nemesis. Respond to the immediate threat.
    5. After the encounter, proceed through the door into the next room.
    6. Descend the stairs. The Lighter Fluid can be found on a shelf at the bottom.
    7. The Shotgun is located in a weapon case atop a table in this same room.
    8. Ascend the stairs and exit the building through the gold door.

Water Sample Analysis (Water Purification Plant)

Within the Water Purification Plant, a critical puzzle involving analyzing water samples must be solved to restore power and progress. This requires finding three distinct samples and using a complex analysis machine.

  • Location: Water Purification Plant, main laboratory area with the analysis console.
  • Items Needed:
    • Water Sample A
    • Water Sample B
    • Water Sample C
  • Steps:
    1. Locate all three Water Samples (A, B, and C) throughout the plant. These are static finds:
      • Water Sample A: Found in the west wing laboratory, on a desk.
      • Water Sample B: Found in a locker in the east wing control room.
      • Water Sample C: Found in the upstairs section of the main processing area.
    2. Return to the central laboratory area and interact with the water analysis machine.
    3. Place each Water Sample into the corresponding port on the console. They can be analyzed one by one.
    4. The console will display current readings. Your goal is to match the readings to the correct values, typically found on a document (e.g., Operation Notes) within the plant. The required values are static:
      • Sample A: Set to '6'.
      • Sample B: Set to '3'.
      • Sample C: Set to '9'.
    5. After setting the correct values for one sample, press the 'Enter' button. Repeat for all three samples.
    6. Once all samples are correctly analyzed, the machine will initiate a process that restores power to the facility, opening the path forward.

Clock Tower Mechanism Puzzle

The Clock Tower is a significant landmark requiring manipulation of its internal mechanisms to access new areas and items.

  • Location: Clock Tower, various floors.
  • Items Needed:
    • Gearbox
    • Small Gear
    • Large Gear
  • Steps:
    1. Upon entering the Clock Tower, head to the main hall.
    2. Use the Gearbox on the mechanism within the main hall to activate the first elevator.
    3. Proceed up the elevator to the upper floors.
    4. Find the Small Gear in a room accessible from the second floor.
    5. Find the Large Gear in the bell tower section.
    6. Return to the mechanism on the main floor (where the Gearbox was used).
    7. Insert the Small Gear and Large Gear into the appropriate slots on the mechanism.
    8. The clock hands will now move, revealing a hidden passage or unlocking a door necessary for progression.

Power Station Puzzle (Park)

Restoring power to the park requires rerouting electricity via a complex control panel.

  • Location: Power Station within the Park.
  • Items Needed:
    • Power Handle
  • Steps:
    1. Locate the Power Handle in the Power Station building.
    2. Interact with the main power console.
    3. The console presents a grid or series of switches. You must route power from the transformer to the connected doors.
    4. The correct configuration typically involves connecting power sequentially. A common solution is:
      • Switch 1 (Transformer) to Switch 2 (Main Cable).
      • Switch 2 (Main Cable) to Switch 3 (Door A).
      • Switch 2 (Main Cable) to Switch 4 (Door B).
    5. Successfully rerouting power will open the necessary doors, allowing access to the rest of the Park.
