INTRODUCTION
A few years have passed since the events that took place at Leafmore High.
Those glory days were filled with plenty of study sessions, beer, drugs and Sum
41 music that kept the students alive and kicking.  All until their principal,
Herbert Friedman unleashed his plant experiments upon the student populace.
A group of students, Shannon Matthews, Ashley Thompson, Stan Jones, and Josh
Carter locked themselves inside the school one night.  Determined to find the
reason behind why their school had turned into such a horrid place, they wander
the halls to investigate and look for their friend Kenny Matthews.  During
their search for Kenny, they soon stumble upon some strange mutants lurking in
the shadows of their school and ultimately find that the person behind the
creatures is none other than their principal Mr. Friedman.  After a tough
battle and much bloodshed only, Kenny, Stan, and Shannon walk away from the
incident along with the contamination of Friedman's experiment.
A few years have passed and now Kenny and Shannon have moved on with their
lives and are now attending Fallcreek University.  Before long, flowers start
to appear around the area and they begin to contaminate the student body,
turning them into mutants.  The surviving members of Leafmore along with their
new friends take up the task once again to rid their learning center of the
horrors therein.
This guide will provide you with a full walkthrough along with several lists to
help you pinpoint the locations of hidden items and save points.  I also made a
list of most of the puzzle in the game.  Please enjoy the guide and email me if
you have any questions.

===============================================================================
CHARACTERS
This section gives a short description (in my own words) of each character
based on the information provided in the game.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kenny Matthews
==============
Arguably, the lead character of the first Obscure, Kenny is Shannon's big
brother and the one person that Shannon holds dear to her heart.  Ever since
the events at Leafmore High, Kenny has been forced to take daily meds to keep
himself under control from the exposure to Dr. Friedman's experiments.  Kenny
is the strongest in the group but is mentally weaker than the rest of the
Leafmore survivors and has to take even more medication than the rest in order
to avoid temptation of the infection.
Special Ability: (Strength) Kenny is able to move heavy objects.
Shannon Matthews
================
One of the survivors of Leafmore High, Shannon is Kenny's sister.  Shannon has
a new darker personality from being exposed to Dr. Friedman's experiments.  She
is now able to absorb the black mist that Dr. Friedman's plant mutations give
off.  She is the only survivor of Leafmore that has adapted to control the
effects sustained there and therefore does not have to use any sort of
medication to fight off the mental side effects of the infection.
Special Ability: (Dark Aura) Shannon can absorb black mist that collects in
areas and make those areas passable for the other characters.
Stan Jones
==========
Much like Kenny, Stan now has to take medication from having been exposed to
the plant-like experiments at Leafmore High.  He is the only survivor of
Leafmore that did not go on to Fallcreek Academy.  Stan went to prison directly
after the events at Leafmore and now earns a living as pizza delivery boy. He
is also secretly in love with Shannon.
Special Ability: (Lock Picking) Stan can pick any easy lock with his trusty
lockpick.
Corey Wilde
===========
A natural acrobat, Corey is basically a self-proclaimed monkey boy.  He takes
on death defying stunts with little effort and likes to challenge himself with
new stunts.  His girlfriend Mei is the main love of his life.  Oh, and then
there is that car of his that demands even more attention than Mei.  If
something were to happen to either of them, who knows what he would do?
Special Ability: (Acrobatics) Corey is able to reach high places by jumping
and/or climbing.
Mei Wang
========
A beautiful young Asian girl who also happens to be a hardcore gamer.  She is
rivaled only by her sister Jun in that field.  Mei is an accomplished hacker
that can hack just about any communications or security device that manages to
cross her and her PDA.  Her boyfriend Corey happens to be her main playing
partner, well, whenever she can pull him away from that metal slut, I mean that
car of his.
Special Ability: (Hacking) Mei can hack into electronic device to gain access
to entryways that are otherwise off limits.
Amy Brookes
===========
If this were still high school then she would be the prom queen, but this blond
femme fatale still has the boys at Fallcreek Academy active all night beneath
their sheets.  With her phenomenal skills at deciphering and breaking extremely
complicated codes and puzzles along with her beautiful yet cunning attitude,
what's not to love?
Special Ability: (Decrypting) Amy can put together puzzles and solve riddles
just by examining paper evidence or other objects found in an area.
Sven Hansen
===========
A student from Norway, this hockeystick pro is believed to be a reincarnated
Viking.  He has a heart of gold even while drinking himself silly.  The only
thing he loves more than drinking, Norway or his friends is Amy.
Special Ability: (Strength) Sven is able to push heavy objects.
Professor Richard James
=======================
An easily unimpressed professor of biology at Fallcreek Academy, Professor
James looks after the rowdy student populace of Fallcreek.  Professor James is
the "Go to" man when it comes to new equipment or technology.
Jun Wang
========
Jun is Mei's sister and hardcore gaming rival.  She is very sweet and sometimes
crazy, but while playing a game this girl will pull your entrails through your
eyes and use them as reins to ride your DAMND'IT SOUL TO HADES BELOW as she
prepares to squeal at her high score upon landing on your bloody corpse at the
gates of the Underworld.  Her innocent attitude mixed with her optimist
behavior has been known to get her in trouble in dangerous situations.

WALKTHROUGH
This section contains the full walkthrough for the main game.  Key items are
listed in all caps with "++" around them and normal items are listed in all
caps with "--" around them.  Enemy names and room names are made up by yours
truly.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
== Corey's Room ==
Players: Corey and Mei
Once the beginning cutscene ends, you'll start out with Corey and Mei while in
Corey's dorm room.  Tap the R2 button to switch between either character.  The
secondary character will always follow the lead character.
Open the door to exit Corey's room.
== Dorm Hall ==
Walk to the very end of the hall and open the door on the far right.  This is
the only door that isn't locked or blocked in some way.
== Dorm Hall 2 ==
Make an immediate right and follow the hall then open the second door on the
left for a cutscene.
== Dark Forest ==
Corey will wake up in a dark forest.  Move ahead and collect the --BAT-- from
the ground by pressing the X button when the "Take" command appears while
standing over it.  Corey will automatically equip the bat.  Keep following the
path up ahead to meet up with Mei.
Further down the path, some human doll-like figures will block the way.  Hold
the L1 button to ready the bat then press the R1 button multiple times while
near them to swing and hit them with a combination of bat swings.  Keep hitting
them to destroy them and remove them from the path.  Hitting the pulsating red
pods to the sides will make them yell out while the screen shakes.
Make a left through the collection of pods then destroy the next set of
figures.  While hitting them, some sort of red creature will run by up ahead as
it drags Amy along with it.  Bust through the remainder of the figures then
follow the thing that has Amy by moving down the ladder up ahead - press X when
the "Go down" command appears.
== Dark Tunnel ==
Move down the tunnel ahead.  Along the way, the tunnel will begin to change as
screams are heard then the tunnel will change back to normal.  Further ahead,
the tunnel will change again and Jun (Mei's sister) will appear then disappear
as your characters get close to her.  Keep moving further ahead and Sven will
appear and walk toward the characters then he will disappear once he comes into
contact with them.  Amy's voice can be heard in the distance.  Rush ahead and
the screen will turn black.
== End of the Tunnel ==
Cory and Mei will wake up at the end of the dark tunnel.  Corey is armed with a
Shotgun now.  Hold the L1 button to target an enemy then tap the R1 button to
fire.  Hold R1 then tap O to reload.
Move ahead to catch a glimpse of Amy hanging on the petal of a big flower.
Walk up to her and examine her.  It's best to stand still for a few moments and
listen to the dialogue if you want to hear it since a minor cutscene will
activate upon examining Amy.
Some big plant creatures will bust through the door on the right and some
spiders will attack from all around the characters.  There is really no point
in fighting back since they will automatically kill Mei at this point.  The big
enemies run right toward her and attack then impale her.
== Men's Restroom ==
Corey will suddenly upchuck into a toilet as reality sets in.  He is merely
having a hangover from Sven's party.  The room will be hazy and distorted as
Corey walks out of the stall.  Examine the nearby mirror to find a message:
"This evening, come and get pissed.
Room 200"
Find the exit to the restroom in the back then walk out into the hall once
again.
== Dorm Hallway ==
Walk down the dark hall then open the first door on the right - it's in a dark
corner.
== Staircase ==
Corey will automatically move toward an energy drink on the nearby railing then
take a swig from it.  Once again, our whiny teen is revitalized and ready to
get shitfaced another day!  The bottom portion of the staircase is blocked off
so follow the toilet rolls up the first set of stairs then run up to the top
floor.  Walk out onto the balcony on the far right side.
== Alley ==
Walk over to the wall on Corey's right to get a "Jump" command.  Tap the O
button to jump and Corey will grab onto the small ledge that extends to the
other side of the building.  Shimmy over to the other side then tap the /\
button to drop.
== Staircase 2 ==
Move down the first two sets of stairs then open the double doors - the door at
the very bottom of the stairs is locked.
== Dorm Hallway 3 ==
Corey will notice a girl up ahead.  Try to open the door of the room that she
enters for some extra dialogue.  Open the door of the room next to the one that
the girl enters for a cutscene.
===============================================================================
Chapter 1 - Panic at the Brotherhood                                     [CH01]
===============================================================================
== Outside the Brotherhood Building ==
Playable Characters: Kenny and Amy
Kenny and Amy will start right down the road from the Brotherhood building.
Fans of the first Obscure will remember Kenny from the first game.
Run up the road and try to enter the front doors of the Brotherhood building
for a bit of extra dialogue - the response differs depending on which character
you are controlling.  Walk to the far left side of the building and move up the
steps then open the gate.
== Behind the Brotherhood Building ==
Find the --HOCKEY STICK-- by the door up ahead.  Press the select button then
place it onto one of the four D-pad (Directional pad) directions displayed on
the menu to map it to that directional press.  Press the D-pad in the
corresponding direction to quickly equip that item.  This will become much more
useful once you get firearms and other types of weapons.  Make sure to equip
the controlled characters with the hockey stick for now.
Find the crate in the dark corner further ahead - across from the locked gate.
Only Kenny can push/pull the crate so select him.  Grab the crate by holding
the O button near it then slide it over toward the stack of logs across from it
then get on top of it and climb onto the roof while standing on the crate.
Follow the rooftop then move up the steps and open the window near the locked
door.  A cutscene will trigger.
== Library ==
Pick up the --GOLF CLUB-- leaning up against the nearby bookcase.  Give the
golf club to your secondary character.  Walk in between the bookcases and face
the right bookcase for a "Give a boost" command.  Kenny will give Amy a boost
up to a hidden object, so take the --SMALL KEY 1-- while Amy is hoisted up.
There are some chairs near a desk in this room that can be picked up by any
character using the "Seize" command while close to them - these are used for
extra damage against enemies.  Seized items will respawn in each room after
exiting and entering it again.
Walk over to the desk with the lit lamp that is next to the chairs and examine
it to find some roughly scratched characters.  Take control of Amy then examine
it and then press the O button to use the inspect command to get a code -
"1873".  Open the door to the side.
== Hallway ==
A terrified girl will block a door at the end of the hall and mention a gun in
the billiards room down the hall.  Follow the hall in front of her then turn at
the glass display and break the glass with one of your melee weapons by hitting
it.  Pick up the --SMALL KEY 2-- from the broken glass display.  A door near
the end is locked with a magnetic card reader next to it - this can be opened
much later.  Walk to the last door on the left and equip a melee weapon then
hit the glass on the door.  Now simply open the door like normal - you'll run
into these types of doors every now and then.
== Billiards Room ==
There is a safe on the left wall that requires a key code.  Enter the key code
from earlier - "1873" - then the controlled character will automatically take
the --GUN--.  Walk over to the dark murky looking plant on the wall to the
right of the wall safe then interact with it using the "Touch" command that
appears.  Your characters will instantly be knocked out upon touching it.
These black plants are save points that will allow you to save your game.  I
will refer to them as --SAVE FLOWERS-- from now on.  Be forewarned that using
one will cause the plant to disappear, not allowing you to save again until
your characters run across another one.  These plants are usually found right
before a big fight or important event so it is almost always best to go ahead
and save when you see one.  Nothing can be done with the arcade cabinet in the
back of the billiards room even though it can be moved.  Run back outside after
retrieving the gun and saving.
== Hallway ==
A big Berzerker will come toward the characters from the other end of the hall.
Equip the gun then shoot it - it takes quite a few shots with the gun so be
ready to reload.  The characters will automatically reload the gun when trying
to fire without any loaded ammo or you can hold the L1 button then press the O
button to reload manually.  Be sure to keep your distance from the creature and
fire quick.  It will leave behind the ++KEY TO THE BROTHERHOOD SHELF++ so grab
it.  There will be a beating heart left behind once the creature dissolves but
you can't do anything with these at the moment.
Stand in front of the door at the end of the hall where the girl previously was
and use the key on the door - stand in front of it then select the key by
holding the L2 button and cycling through your inventory then tap the X button
to use the key on the door.
== Front Lobby ==
Run down the steps to see a gruesome sight at the bottom.  Pick up the --9MM
BULLETS-- on armrest of the nearby bench.  Open the door near the dead body.
== Party Room ==
Two Lurkers will attack in this room.  In order to save a bit of ammo, equip
melee weapons to both characters then run up to the Lurkers and knock them down
then hit them overhead while they are down.  Break the glass on the shelf near
the door and take --SMALL KEY 3-- from inside.  Pick up the --FIRST AID KIT--
on the other side of the room then walk over to the box with the glowing white
circular lights around it.  A big Berzerker will bust through the wall and
attack eventually.  Equip the gun and fire at it from a distance until it
falls.  The glowing item boxes require three small keys to open, which you
should have if you have been following this guide.
Use the three small keys on this item box to gain the --STUN GUN--.  This will
come in great handy for the rest of the game.  Equip the stun gun to your
partner and they will zap and stun a medium size enemy so you can rush up to it
and beat it with your melee weapon.  This will help to save a bunch of ammo
when used properly.  It only comes with about 75% charge for the moment but
these type of items can be charged frequently.  Past the wall that the creature
broke through is a recharger to the right of the door.  Examine it then when
the "Recharge" command appears, hold the X button to charge the stun gun.  Open
the door to the side.
== Kitchen ==
Pick up the --FIRST AID KIT-- on the shelf to the right.  Examine the shredded
flower on the left counter and the body for some extra dialogue.  Take control
of Amy then examine and inspect the chopped up photo on the side counter across
from the body.
Match the pieces up onto the black square - it's much like a small puzzle and
the pieces cannot be rotated so it is quite easy.  Start from one side then
match up the middle pieces according to the side pieces.  The game sort of
helps you out with aligning them.  This will give you the correct positioning
for a puzzle in the Big Library.  The map will be added to your inventory under
items.
Return to the Front Lobby then follow the long hall to the right of the stairs.
Another Lurker will attack in the party room on the way back.  Allow your
secondary character to stun it with the stun gun then run up to it and bash it
with a melee weapon - this method works quite well and saves a bunch of ammo
and healing items.  Recharge the stun gun before leaving.
== Big Library ==
Spiders will attack as your characters move into the middle of the library.
Equip a melee weapon then squash them.  If one happens to get on your
character's face then tap the X button to throw it off, if one gets on your
partner's face then hit your partner with a melee weapon.  Always use melee
weapons for these enemies.
There are three bookcases in the middle of the library and each of the three
have a greek symbol at the top of them.  Each bookcase can be moved along the
tracks in the room when you take control of Kenny.  Slide each bookcase toward
the destination labeled below or just look at your map for reference.

A staircase will fold out from the top floor after the bookcases have been
arranged correctly.  Move up the staircase and open the door at the other end
of the walkway at the top.
== Outside Walkway ==
Open the set of double doors at the other for a cutscene that will end this
chapter.
===============================================================================
Chapter 2 - Where are Amy and Kenny?                                     [CH02]
===============================================================================
== Outside the Brotherhood ==
Playable Characters: Corey and Mei
Let's not even get started about Corey and his damn car; you'll hear plenty
about that later.  Walk up the path ahead then take the --BAT-- and the --
HOCKEY STICK-- from near the body.  Equip one to your controlled character and
one to your secondary character.  Find the --SAVE FLOWER-- against the side of
the brotherhood building and use it.
Take control of Mei and examine the keypad next to the front double doors of
the brotherhood building then press the O button to hack the keypad.  These
keypads require you to enter the correct name of a famous person in order to
open the door.  The letters are displayed in a circular set and the one in the
top middle will be the one chosen.  Press the checkmark on the keypad to enter
each code once you are done selecting the letters.  After entering a sequence
of letters, the green letters will be the correct letters in the correct spots
so they will remain but you will have to try again for the other letters.  It's
all a matter of trial and error.
--> The code is: "MOZART"
Open the door to the front lobby after unlocking the doors.
== Front Lobby ==
A black mist will encase the double door entrance and seal both characters in.
Move up the stairs to the characters' right and open the door to reenter the
Hallway on the second floor.
== Hallway ==
Walk down the hall and approach the second door on the left with Mei.  This is
another hacking puzzle like the last hacking puzzle, so choose to hack the
lock.
--> The code is "PICASSO"
Enter the room after unlocking the door.
== Storage Room ==
Pick up the --9MM BULLETS-- and the --FIRST AID KIT-- from the box on the far
side of the room.  There is also a recharger against the left wall as the
characters enter the room.  Exit the room and the Hallway then move back down
the stairs.
== Front Lobby ==
There is no reason to enter the party room, so run down the hall and enter the
Big Library.
== Big Library ==
The monsters have wrecked this area since Kenny and Amy were here.  Walk over
to the section where the staircase folded down with Corey to get a "Jump"
command.  Jump and grab onto the top floor then tap the O button to help Corey
pull himself up.  Don't forget about Mei.  Walk to the edge of the second floor
until the "Lift" command appears then press the O button and tap it to lift Mei
up to the second floor.  A Lurker will appear right below Mei, so quickly lift
her.  While the characters run to the other end of the walkway, the Lurker will
leap up onto the second floor, so ready a melee weapon then pound him as he
jumps over the railing.  Open the door at the end of the walkway to continue.
== Outside Walkway ==
A creature will move by in the background but nothing will attack here, so just
open the double doors on the opposite side of the walkway.
== The Study ==
Walk over to the desk on the characters' right and pick up the --9MM BULLETS--.
While your characters move to the other end of the study, spiders will attack,
so bash them with your trusty hockey stick or bat.  Open the door up ahead.
===============================================================================
Chapter 3 - Reunion                                                      [CH03]
===============================================================================
Playable Characters: Kenny, Corey, Amy, Mei
== Outside Entrance ==
Move down the stairs for a cutscene.
Professor James will give your characters the ++SYRINGE++ after the cutscene.
With this syringe, you can now make use of the creature's hearts once they are
defeated.  As you have probably noticed, each big creature will leave behind
its heart after it dissolves.  Walk over the heart then press the X button to
use the syringe on the heart from now on.  After the syringe has been filled up
to level 1, a --SERUM-- will automatically appear in your inventory.  Serums
are much like first aid kits, so you will want to collect as much creature
blood as you can from the hearts of your victims.
You can now select from Kenny, Amy, Corey and Mei.  All of your characters'
health gauges are still as they were when you last left them and they will
remain that way for the rest of the game, so heal if you need to.  The gauges
never recover on their own.  Save your game at the --SAVE FLOWER-- on wall to
the left of the big door.  By the way, that big door will not be opened until
much later in the game.
Make sure that Kenny and Corey are in your party for the portion coming up.
Move up the opposite set of stairs next to the doctor then use Kenny to grab
the pot and pull it out of the way of the path up ahead.  Open the door up
ahead.
== Auditorium ==
Pick up the --FIRST AID KIT-- on the small shelf by the table.  There is a
metal box below that is surrounded by black aura.  With Corey, "Use" the nearby
spotlight on the current floor then switch to Kenny while Corey is controlling
the spotlight.  Arm Kenny with the stun gun and normal gun then move down the
stacked items to get to the first floor from the side without railing and then
walk over to the metal box covered in black mist.  Switch back to Corey then
hold down on the X button to shine a bright light on the black aura and make it
disappear for a few seconds.  Quickly switch back to Kenny then slide the metal
box away from the area where the black aura appears.
Three Lurkers will appear when Kenny has moved the metal box just a little ways
from the black aura so quickly run behind the box then switch back to Corey.
With Corey, focus the light on the Lurkers (press X) in order to drive them
away from Kenny and slightly damage them in the process.  Kenny will fight them
off with the stun gun and the normal gun from below while Corey shines the
light.  If you want, you might want to drive the Lurkers away with the
spotlight then quickly hop down to the first floor with Corey and arm him with
the stun gun so he can stun the Lurkers while Kenny beats them with a melee
weapon - your call.  Make sure to stand over the hearts of the Lurkers once
they dissolve and gather their blood by using the syringe on them - just watch
for the use command while standing over the heart then tap X.
After the battle, slide the metal box all the way over to the area in front of
the bar.  There is another black aura blocking the exit door at this point.
Take control of Corey then move down to the bottom floor.  Get up on the metal
box that Kenny placed in front of the bar and jump to the bar roof.  Take
control of the spotlight with Corey then focus light on the door with the black
aura below to get rid of it eventually.  Once the black aura is gone, climb
back down to the first floor then open the door that the black aura once
sealed.

===============================================================================
Playable Characters: Kenny and Corey
* Don't heal Kenny anymore from this point forward.
== Patio ==
Collect the --9MM BULLETS-- from the nearby table then save your game at the --
SAVE FLOWER-- on the wall to the side of the door that the characters just
exited from.  Step through the gate door after saving.
== Behind the Brotherhood Building ==
Turn left then run down that path and open the gate door at the end for a
cutscene.
== Forest Entrance ==
Playable Characters: Corey and Amy
Good god this part can get annoying.  Corey will whine about his car throughout
this entire area, so mute your TV and put on some nice Silent Hill music if you
can't take the constant complaining like your guide author here.
Follow the trail through the woods ahead and step out onto the road.  Move past
the broken crash barrier and follow the next trail into the woods on the other
side.  A creature will begin to yell then a Berzerker will step out from the
path up ahead.  Arm the handgun and shoot the creature from a distance.
It's easy to get lost in this part.  Run down the path directly ahead (across
from the path where you entered this forest) then look off to the right and
collect the --ENERGY DRINK--.  Go back to the open area in the woods and make a
left.  Two Lurkers will attack.  You'll eventually stumble across some tire
tracks in the dirt that will let you know that your characters are headed the
right way.  Your characters will move past a broken fence eventually and the
camera angle will change.
== Deeper in the Woods ==
Move forward and prepare for some more whining from Corey.  Follow the path to
the left after the cutscene then take out your handgun and shoot at the Lurker
and Berzerker that will appear down the path.  You'll probably start to run low
on ammo, but don't worry - you're about to get another gun.  Follow the path
and use the battery recharger off to the right before the path splits.
The left path is blocked by a fallen tree so run down the right path.  Pick up
the ++CHAINSAW++ on one of the logs at the end of the path.  Run back to the
fallen tree down the left path.  Make sure that the battery is fully charged by
charging at the recharger then equip the chainsaw and hold L1 near the log then
hold R1 to saw through the log.  Run back to the recharger and charge the
battery back up.  Both the stun gun and the chainsaw run on the same battery.
Step past the cut log then take control of Amy and inspect the newspaper off to
the left further down the path for some extra details about a mysterious man
that has been found in this very forest!  Continue on ahead then grab the --
FIRST AID KIT-- off to the left and step across the bridge.  The camera will
show a shotgun right next to a fallen Berzerker and Corey's wrecked car.
Make sure that your secondary character is equipped with a stun gun or handgun
then run and collect the ++SHOTGUN++.  Equip the shotgun as the Berzerker gets
up and blast him as your other character shoots or stuns him.  Another
Berzerker will quickly enter the area from the other side so blast him right
after the first Berzerker.  There is a steel set of double doors on the damaged
wall across from the car but they are locked, so run to the right side of them
and go through the crack in the wall using the command that appears.
== Path behind the Steel Door ==
Find the --SAVE FLOWER-- on the left wall down the path directly in front of
the steel doors and save your game.  The save flower is a little hidden by the
camera angle but look for the dark flowers along the path then turn to the
right.
===============================================================================
Chapter 5 - Corey's Car                                                  [CH05]
===============================================================================
Keep moving down the path until a cutscene plays.  Directly after the cutscene,
three Flyers will attack.  These enemies can be extremely aggressive and hard
to hit.  The best way to deal with them is to equip your secondary character
with a stun gun so that character will stun them and bring them to the ground.
Run over to the grounded Flyer then beat it with a melee weapon while it is
grounded.  Swinging at them while they are flying sometimes works but using the
stun gun is the safest way really.
Continue down the path ahead and keep moving straight.  There are a few turns
to the left but they don't lead to anything special.  There will be a path off
to the right, but if you don't have about a half charged battery it will do you
no good since there is a fallen tree at the other end.  Follow the straight
path then take out a melee weapon and smack the spiders that attack near the
end.  Before reaching the end, look off to the right to see a battery
recharger.  Recharge the battery.
The path will lead to a dead end, so run back to where you came from.  Four
Flyers will attack so take out the stun gun and melee weapons to deal with
them.  Run back and recharge if you have to.  Take the left path that you
didn't take earlier and use the chainsaw to cut through the fallen tree at that
end.  Step through the broken brick wall past the tree.
== Hospital Courtyard ==
Both of the doors in this area are locked.  Switch to Corey then run over to
the door in front of the ambulance with the shining lights to get a jump
command.  Jump and grab onto the ledge up above then shimmy to the right and
pull up when the command appears.  Get on top of the raised area to the right
then jump and grab onto the next ledge up above that raised area.  Shimmy to
the right once again.
Flyers will begin to attack while Corey shimmies to the right and Corey will
fall and grab onto the next lowest ledge.  Keep moving to the right without
stopping then pull up to the roof when prompted.  Fight off the Flyers with a
handgun or a melee weapon.  Heal if necessary.  The way into the hospital is
through the nearby window but you first have to help Amy up to the roof.  Drop
into the hole on the side of the roof then unlock the door in the small room to
let Amy in.  Climb back up with Corey then take control of Amy and step onto
the box then switch back to Corey to get a "Lift" command while standing above
her.  Lift her up then step through the window of the hospital for a cutscene.

Chapter 6 - Looking for Jun                                              [CH06]
===============================================================================
== In Front of the Dorm ==
Playable Characters: Sven and Mei
Nothing will attack on the outside portion of the dorm.  Find the --SAVE
FLOWER-- to the left of the double doors entrance to the dorm and save your
game.
Jun will be contacting the group constantly throughout this portion.  The
magnetic lock switch on the left side of the double doors will not work and the
double doors are locked so run to the right of the dorm entrance and find the
closed gate down the far right path.  Pull the switch on the right wall (tap X
after grabbing it) to open the gate.
Move into the area on the other side and the gate will shut behind the
characters.  Run past the pillars on the right side and move down the ramp.
Jun will contact the characters at this time and mention that the monsters are
trying to get into the room that she locked herself into.  A life bar for Jun
will appear at the top of the screen and this bar will decrease as time goes
by.  If both characters get to her before her life decreases all the way then
both characters will get to go to some extra areas and gain an extra spiked
club item, if not, then the extra areas will be skipped as the game switches
back to Corey and Amy.
Find the raised area with the large crate on top then take control of Sven and
climb up to the left side of the raised area.  Push the crate to the right with
Sven then climb on top of it.  Turn around while on the crate then climb on top
of the roof.  Take out a melee weapon while next to the window then break the
window with a swing and then climb inside.
== Front Lobby ==
There is battery charger to the left of the window that the characters climb
through so make sure to charge your battery since you'll need the stun gun in
just a bit.  Take the --9MM BULLETS-- from the desk then walk through the door
to exit the office.
Four Flyers will attack as your characters enter the area with the stairs to
the side.  Fight them off with the stun gun and melee weapons (have the
secondary character equipped with the stun gun).  Find the lit up soda machine
off to the side and walk up to it then break it by swinging at it with a melee
weapon.  Collect the --ENERGY DRINK-- from inside the soda machine.  Run up the
stairs in the lobby since the doors on the first floor are locked.
Take control of Mei then examine the keypad to the side of the door at the top
then hack it.
--> The correct code is: "FREUD"
As soon as Mei tries to hack the keypad, more Flyers will show up down the
stairs, so run back down them or wait for them then fight them off like before.
If you're fast enough then you won't even have to worry about the Flyers - just
exit the area.  Open the door once the code is entered.
== Staircase ==
Take the --9MM BULLETS-- from the nearby box then move down the hall.  Move up
the first set of stairs then take control of Sven and move the soda machine
that blocks the door to the right then open the door.  The doors up the stairs
are all locked.
== Girls Wing ==
Run straight ahead and break the soda machine then take the --ENERGY DRINK--
from inside.  You can enter the restroom down the left hall (after returning)
to find a very gruesome sight on the sink inside.  Otherwise, enter the hall
with the room at the end with the light and then open the double doors off to
the left at the end of that hall.
== Girls Wing 2 ==
A Berzerker will be down the nearby hall so equip the gun and shoot at him.
IF JUN'S LIFE BAR HASN'T DECREASED ALL THE WAY:
The Berzerker will be holding Jun and will toss her ass out the nearest window
as you shoot him.  Blast at him and Jun will mention that she has run down to
the cellar as soon as the characters kill the Berzerker.
IF YOU DIDN'T ARRIVE IN TIME:
Then Jun will already be dead, so don't enter the hall where the Berzerker came
from just yet or a cutscene will activate and you won't be able to get the rest
of the items.
Either way, bust the soda machine down the hall straight ahead and collect the
--ENERGY DRINK-- from inside.  Enter Room 117 by the soda machine.
===============================================================================
Chapter 7 - In Jun's Room                                                [CH07]
===============================================================================
== Room 117 ==
Use the --SAVE FLOWER-- on the closet door then exit the room.  The rest of the
tasks below can only be performed if you saved Jun, otherwise, skip to the next
section with Corey and Amy.
== Girls Wing 2 ==
Return to the Front Lobby.
== Front Lobby ==
Move down the stairs and examine the security controls to the side of the door
behind the main counter (near the soda machine).  Sven and Mei will watch
through the camera and control of Jun will be given to the player.
== Cellar ==
For each camera angle that switches while in control of Jun, you will need to
rotate the right analog to adjust the screen so that it doesn't flicker.  It is
best to run from every enemy that Jun runs across.
With Jun, run toward the camera to enter a hall.  Grab the --SPIKED CLUB-- from
near the wall.  Open the door at the end of the hall.
A Berzerker will appear to the right of Jun as she steps into this new hall, so
quickly run to her left then run toward the camera and move toward the fence
down the hall.  Swing the spiked club at the boards on the gate to break them
then quickly step through the opening.  The Berzerker will not follow.  Open
the door to the left past the gate.
A Flyer will attack.  It's really best not to fight the Flyer since if moves
away from Jun quite a bit while attacking.  Run down the hall to Jun's left
then open the door on the far right end.
Move ahead then break through the boards on the gate walls then open the door
directly ahead.
Step into the hall directly ahead then turn right and open the second door on
the left side.
== Cellar Entrance ==
Now the view will change back to a colored full camera and you will be in
control of Jun from a normal viewpoint.  Run straight ahead and open the door.
Open the first door to the right in the next area.
Use the switch down the hall up ahead for a cutscene.
== Front Lobby ==
The game will switch back to Sven and Mei.  Open the door behind the counter.
== Cellar ==
Run down the stairs and open the door.
Take the --SPIKED CLUB-- that lies near the left wall then defeat the Lurker
that attacks.  Run down the hall directly ahead to find a blood trail in front
of the door at the end.  Find the chained crates to the right of the door with
the blood trail then push them with Sven.
A Lurker will bust through a door behind the crates so defeat him.  Open the
door down the hall to the right.
Move down the hall to the left up ahead for a cutscene.

Chapter 8 - Mourning in the Hospital                                     [CH08]
===============================================================================
== Second Floor Hallway ==
Playable Characters: Corey and Amy
Touch the --SAVE FLOWER-- on the left wall to save your game.  Break the glass
on the first door on the characters' left then open it.
== X-ray Room ==
A cutscene will activate upon entering this room.  Walk over to the computer
that is still on and interact with it to open the lock on the nearby lab.  Two
Flyers will attack and a Lurker will bust through the wall in the back of the
X-ray room.  Fight off all the enemies with the stun gun and a melee weapon or
handgun.
Enter the lab and collect ++HERBERT WEST'S MAGNETIC PASS++ from the table
inside.  Leave the lab and walk through the broken wall on the other side of
the room then grab --SMALL KEY 1-- from the table inside.  Leave the room.
== Second Floor Hallway ==
The door to the right side up ahead requires the correct code to be entered on
the keypad.  Run through the sliding door on the left side of the hall.
== Locker Room ==
The glowing item box that requires three small keys is in this room, but you
will only have two keys by the time you exit the room, so you'll have to
backtrack once you get the third key.  Take the --GENERIC REPORT-- file from
the row of lockers then use the "Give a boost" command while standing near the
lockers and collect --SMALL KEY 2--.  Take control of Amy and inspect the torn
paper on the small table on the other side of the room.
Right after inspecting the paper, Spiders will enter the room and attack so
quickly cancel the puzzle and smash them.  Inspect the paper again and piece
the puzzle together to get the --HOSPITAL FLOOR PLAN--.  Examine the paper to
see the following numbers on it: "0108".  Leave the room.
== Second Floor Hallway ==
Examine the keypad near the double doors across from the sliding door and enter
the code from the floor plan document: "0108".  The door will unlock once the
code has been entered so open it.
== Flickering Hallway ==
Walk directly ahead and collect the --SHOTGUN AMMUNTION-- from the shelf
against the wall.  Take the --GENERIC REPORT-- from the small table while
walking against the camera.  Keep walking against the camera and two Lurkers
will attack - one from behind the characters and other from in front.  Have one
character stun one while the others hits it with a melee weapon.  There is a
