Complete The Evil Within 2 Part 19 walkthrough, including how to get the Sometimes Fighting Isn't the Answer trophy and find Harrison's Communicator.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach the East side of City Hall, blocked by a truck, boxes, and three red barrels. Shoot one of the barrels to open a path around the building, which will alert a creature. Be prepared to run or hide.
  2. 2
    Behind crates, find a box. Inside the bus (a dangerous area), find a [_BOTTLE_] and [_HANDGUN BULLET x2_].
  3. 3
    Past the bus, you'll encounter a tripwire that activates two traps around the building, yielding [_EXPLOSIVE BOLT x2_] among the boxes.
  4. 4
    The goal is the DOOR at the back. Before entering, to the right side of the building, you can find more boxes containing a [_HARPOON BOLT_], [_SHOTGUN SHELL x2_], and [_HANDGUN AMMO x5_] (if not previously acquired).
  5. 5
    Return to the door and mash "X" to enter, leading to the basement and a trophy opportunity.
  6. 6
    Note: You will earn the "Sometimes Fighting Isn't the Answer" Bronze Trophy for completing this encounter WITHOUT killing the boss.
  7. 7
    If you went to the basement, you must kill two regular enemies. You will find [_HANDGUN BULLET x7_] on the right. Move the cart to access City Hall proper.
  8. 8
    After defeating the boss, you will receive [_5,000 GREEN GEL_]. Explore the area for loot. Near the water on the upper left, find many boxes. The tipped-over van contains [_HANDGUN BULLET x3_], [_SHOTGUN SHELL x2_], a [_SMOKE BOLT_], and an [_EXPLODING BOLT_].
  9. 9
    In the left enclosure, find another tripwire and [_HANDGUN BULLET x3_]. On the right side, in a cage, find an [_EXPLODING BOLT_]. To the north by boxes, find [_HANDGUN BULLET x2_]. To the upper right through a fence, find [_HANDGUN BULLET x3_]. At the main entrance, find [_HANDGUN BULLET x2_] and a [_SHOCK BOLT_].
  10. 10
    Enter the building and proceed forward for a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) where you meet Miles Harrison. He will give you [_HARRISON'S COMMUNICATOR_], essential for restarting the emitter.
  11. 11
    Check the central desk for a [_SYRINGE_] and [_GUNPOWDER_]. Continue north, then take a right to the "Mail Room".
  12. 12
    Inside the Mail Room, find [_FILE 18/40_]. The cabinet behind you contains [_WEAPON PARTS x5_]. To the right of the door, find [_SHOTGUN SHELL x2_]. Further in the back, locate a SAVE POINT and a WORKBENCH. Ignore the ladder downwards for now.
  13. 13
    Head back and left, passing through double doors. To the left, find a wooden cabinet with a [_METAL PIPE_]. To the right, find stairs with a [_HERB_] underneath. Head upwards.
  14. 14
    Follow the linear path to a room with a large picture of a woman. Note her necklace and roses. Nearby is a mannequin and an empty vase.
  15. 15
    Grab the [_ROSES_] by the picture and the [_EMERALD NECKLACE_] in the left corner. Place both by the mannequin. Rotate the mannequin to face the camera (slightly right) and take its picture with the camera, setting the focus to 5.
  16. 16
    This action creates a hallway in front of you. As you proceed down the hallway, observe the art. Keep an eye on the left for [_FILE 19/40_] (a newspaper). All doors are locked, and your way back is blocked.
  17. 17
    At the end of the hallway, read the message. Head back and examine the art again. A doorway will appear on the right, signaled by a camera sound.
  18. 18
    Enter the new doorway and proceed right. On a table, find [_FILE 20/40_]. This will trigger the "Doing Some Detecting" Bronze Trophy for collecting 20 files.
  19. 19
    In the same room, find [_GUNPOWDER_] and a [_HERB_] between dressers near the door.
  20. 20
    Head back the way you came and turn right. You will encounter the boss. Attempt to run at him, which will lock the doors. Turn around and proceed down the pathway, down the steps, and through the door.
