Walkthrough
- 1After the introductory scenes with Barry arriving by boat, head towards the Radio Tower. The path is blocked, so descend to the beach.
- 2Find a Barrel and a Crate on the beach.
- 3Continue along the edge and eliminate the bugs that emerge from the bushes. Use your knife for efficiency.
- 4As you reach the top of the path, turn right and follow the wall to find Tower Emblem 5/8.
- 5Proceed to the end of the path and open the iron curtain.
- 6Enter the room on your left to find a Red Herb and Assault Rifle Ammo on a desk.
- 7Outside this room, find a Green Herb.
- 8Combine Green Herb + Red Herb to create 3 Green Herbs.
- 9Enter the next room. You will encounter one Zombie initially, followed by three more from the hallway. These are slow-moving Zombies, making headshots easier.
- 10Search the area where the first Zombie appeared to find a Crate.
- 11Continue along the path, jump over fallen lockers, and enter the next door.
- 12In this new area, you will learn about Natalia's Awareness & Pointing ability, which highlights enemies. Use this to spot three enemies in the adjacent room, but ignore them for now.
- 13Crouch and move along the hallway to find a Sparkle Item under a medical bed and another Sparkle Item at the end of the hallway.

- 15Check the desk in front of the Zombie for the Detention Center Map.
- 16Search the entrance of this area to find another Sparkle Item.
- 17Proceed slightly to the right towards the three Zombies. Two are stationary, and one patrols between them. Wait for the patrolling Zombie to turn its back to sneak-attack all three.
- 18After defeating the third Zombie, look to your right to find Tower Emblem 6/8.
- 19Find another Sparkle Item between the shelves and loot a Crate in the corner.
- 20Go up the stairs, kill the lone Zombie, and look to your left to find an item on a shelf. Wait for enemies to look away and sneak to get Cloth.
