Walkthrough

Hilltop Center Office Building

"This box is filled with mannequin heads. I think I'll pass on this one."

Third Floor: Store Front Poseables

Nothing in here, leave through the other door. Follow the corridor all the way to the other end and enter the room there beside the boxes.

Between the first set of shelves is a mannequin with a head. Take a look at it for a comment from Heather, then head to the other side of the shelf. Hope you didn't wet yourself. Grab the Handgun Bullets and Shotgun Shells on the box there and head back to the mannequin to see what happened. Leave the room and take the first right door around the corner to the center of the floor.

Third Floor: Monica's Dance Studio

Ignore the Double Heads and enter Monica's Dance Studio through the door straight ahead. The door on Heather's left leads to a large room with two Double Heads and an Insane Cancer and nothing else, so stay away. Enter the next room beside it.

Locate the small glass table and take the Office Building Map. There's also a Save Point on the wall and a desk with a drawer that won't budge. On Easy Riddle Level the drawer will be open and you can grab the 21 Rope, but we'll have to come back otherwise. Leave the room.

The southeast room here contains two Health Drinks in an open locker, or potentially two First-Aid Kits or just one and an Ampoule, depending on your current health situation. Exit to the main 2F hall when done. Out here you'll find the west elevator doors slightly open, but we can't do anything for now. Take the nearby stairwell up to the fifth floor.

Fifth Floor: KMN Auto Parts

The KMN Auto Parts west door is locked, so enter from the southeast of this corridor. Make your way down the hall, mindful of the three Numb Bodies. The door to the left of the red light just has an Insane Cancer in it. Around the second corner, enter the first room on the left. Inside the office, take the Health Drink on the desk and find the 22 Jack on the back left shelf.

Note on Rope and Jack: If on Easy Riddle Level you can now skip to the second floor elevator to use the Jack and Rope, but otherwise we'll have to find something for the 3F desk drawer first. But before leaving on Easy, be sure to collect a new weapon on this floor mentioned just ahead.

Exit the room and pass through the door straight ahead after unlocking it. Move ahead and enter the Gallery of Fine Arts through the double doors by the standing sign.

Fifth Floor: Gallery of Fine Arts

Note the missing painting straight ahead with the caption, "Flame Purifies All". Head through the nearest door to the northeastern hall.

At the north end of this corridor you'll find the 23 Screwdriver, which will be perfect for the drawer downstairs. This item won't be here on Easy Riddle Level as it isn't necessary. Head the other way down the hall and enter the last room on the right.

Grab the awesome 24 Katana from the shelf. Immediately equip this thing which should become your primary melee weapon for the rest of the game. Exit back to the main 5F hall through the gallery and descend back down to 3F.

Third Floor: Figuring out the Elevator

Re-enter Monica's Dance Studio on the east side and use the Screwdriver to bust open the stuck drawer in the room with the save point. Heather will get the Rope inside.

Now head to the west elevator on this floor with the partly-opened doors. Use the Jack to prop open the doors further, then the Rope to open up a route down below. Descend to the second floor.

Second Floor: ECHO Interiors & Floor Fashions

Here you'll find a Save Point on a vending machine to the north. Head back past the elevators and take a right. Enter the western side of ECHO Interiors & Floor Fashions through the door straight ahead.

Find some Beef Jerky by the dog statues along the wall deeper in the room and pass through the northern door. Admire the interior displays here if you wish and pass through the next door north.

Now in a storeroom, head around the bathtub for a suggestive angle. Examine the tub for a cutscene and transition to the other side, followed by a soothing, familiar voice...
