Dark Shopping Mall

You enter another elevator. It's dark. When a light suddenly flashes, Heather
sees a monster outside the elevator-cage. She ignores it, and as the elevator
starts to move she wonders how she got into this mess, and if it's all just
another dream. In the next hallway there are some Double-heads to be fought.
Near the toilets you'll find the first-aid room. Enter. Here you'll find
HEALTH DRINKS, an AMPOULE, and a save-point. Head out, and to the north.

In the central area there are 3 Closers walking around. Avoid them if you
can, or try to kill them, this takes lots of ammo though. As you exit the
corridor, make a right, then left into the narrower hallway. Follow it. Enter
the room to the left of the women's bathroom. Here you'll find your
trustworthy FLASHLIGHT, as well as some HANDGUN BULLETS and a FIRST AID KIT.
Exit and enter the women's bathroom (this is the one you started in). Take
the BLEACH (not on easy riddles mode), and knock on the locked door for a
useless scare. Continue to the east. You'll arrive in the part of the mall
that you visited as first. Go to the clothing store again (where you got your
gun). Take the HANGER, and grab the BULLETPROOF VEST hanging nearby. Head
back to the central area with the 3 Closers, enter the door on the
northwestern end. There's a ladder hanging from the ceiling in this room. Use the hanger to get it down, then climb up.

You'll be at the west end of the 2nd floor. Go up the escalator in nearby.
There's a Closer in this area, and a Double-head nearby. You can enter the
women's bathroom here, but it seems to be useless. Opposite of the escalator is a locked door with a moon painted on it, but it's locked. Instead, go into the first shop on your right when you come from the escalator. Here you'll see a grilled dog...getting hungry? Examine the dog to find a COOKED KEY.
Also find the HEALTH DRINK and the FIRST AID KIT from behind the counter. Go down the escalator, back to the second floor.

You hear some static, but it's not coming from your radio. It comes from the tv in a shop to the south of the escalators. Check out the tv and you'll see a little video. A little girl sits up, and says "Daddy..." Well that's all
folks. Around the corner here you'll find a second tv with a save sign on it.
Save if you want, then enter the double doors next to the save-point. You're inside a jewelry. Pick up the WALLNUT from one of the cases. You can exit through the back door, or go back to the first tv and enter the store there.
Be warned: in this store (the one next to the first tv) you'll have to fight
some Numb Bodies, and you don't get anything for it. In this store, that
looks like a clothes store, you can also exit through the back door. Whether
you go through the clothes store or the jewelry, you'll end up in the
corridor where you met Claudia. A Closer is walking around. Make your way to the eastern most door and unlock it with the cooked key.

Here, pick up the 2 HEALTH DRINKS and the STEEL PIPE. The pipe is a really
useful melee weapon for fighting Numb Bodies and Closers. It's a little too
slow for Double-heads. When you got your new weapon, exit through the double doors. You'll be at the central area. Some Numb Bodies have been waiting for you. After you gave them a warm welcome, head to the bakery (you still know where it is right? The south-east part of the central area). Inside, pick up the DETERGENT near the sink (not on easy riddles mode). Exit through the back door. You'll be in a hallway with a fan. Next to it is a button to switch it off, so switch it off already! Then, enter the door next to it. Here you'll see a cloud of bugs, Heather can't get past them. You'll need some sort of anti-bug spray to get rid of them. Well, have a look at the chemicals in your inventory, it says on the labels NOT TO MIX IT. Basic rule in adventures: if a sign tells you not to do something, do it! Next to the door you came through is an empty garbage bin. Use the bleach and the detergent on it. Gas alert! Heather exits the hallway. Switch the fan back on, then go into the bug hallway.

The bugs are gone. Woohoo! Walk past them. After a while you can open a door onthe right side. Find some BEEF JERKY and three times HANDGUN BULLETS. Go backto the hallway. Continue north, and turn right at the intersection. Open thefirst door on the left. Kill the Closer inside if you want, then exit throughthe double doors. Here, you'll fight a new type of monster. It's called thePendulum. It can fly, does some nice damage, and has high stamina. Avoid it ifyou want. There are also some Double-heads here. From the double doors, headleft, then right. On the north-west part of this area are a pair of doubledoors that you can open. When inside, find the vise lying on one of the beds.
Use your walnut on it to receive a MOONSTONE. Exit the way you came, go right,and unlock the door at the end of the walkway.

You're back in the central area. Head back to the escalators, be warned becausethere are some new monsters hanging around, including a Pendulum. Head up tothe third floor, and use the moonstone on the locked door opposite of theescalators. Go around the pit, and then down the ladder. Get ready for a bossfight!


Boss: Splitworm
Difficulty: Easy
You climb down to a closed of area. As you walk away from the ladder, it fallsdown. No way out. And to make matters worse, you're attacked by a giant purplesnake. It can come out of 6 holes, 3 on either side of the room. It can travel to any hole from his current location, so don't think that when he exits on one side he'll also come out on that side. When it comes out, it opens it's mouth,screams a bit, and then either crosses the room or retreats. It only attacks are stomping on the ground (doesn't hurt you, just stuns you for a second) and attacking you with the head (will take your health down to almost zero). Stay away from the head if you can. When the snake comes out of a hole, stand on the other side, facing its head right on. When it opens it mouth, fire 3 bullets into his head. No more, because after 3 it will close. After that, retreat to a corner, and wait for it to disappear. As long as you stay the hell away from its head, you're good to go. It took me in normal mode exactly 14 bullets to kill it.


Normal Difficulty Shopping Mall

After you've killed the snake, everything seems to be back to normal. You're in the central area of the first floor. Head west, and duck under the shutter. In the next area keep going west, and enter the last shop on the right. This is the Happy Burger, where Heather woke up long ago. Check the store to find a save-point, some BEEF JERKY, a FIRST AID KIT and 3 packs of HANDGUN BULLETS.
Exit the Happy Burger, then exit the mall.

Douglas is waiting for Heather outside. He seems just as confused as she does.
Heather accuses him to be responsible for this mess, even to be one of the
monsters. Douglas says he was just send by Claudia to find her, and that has no clue of what's going on. Heather feels like she has to remember something long forgotten, but she can't. She decides to take the subway home and leaves Douglas behind.
