Retrieve backpack how?

[Bartzabel]

How do I get back to retrieve my backpack?
I started all over again because I have/had no clue how to get back where I lost it.

It's a bit of a process, it'd be easier to watch a video guide than have someone explain it all to you. But I can try and give a brief summary of the areas you'll need to visit. I'm writing this from memory so it might be a little awkward to parse.

After the shower and monster escape you need to bust the wooden boards by stomping on them, drop down grab the flashlight and proceed, you'll be in a corridor, a zombie will drop down from above stomp him dead before he gets back up and round the corner, jump over the gap or drop down it and stomp the zombie that will fall in / follow you down. Go through the door and use your flashlight to agro the zombie, when he starts to move back off so you don't get hit by the mine explosion, go into the room he was in front of to collect the bow and arrows, kill any zombies that follow you, hit the button on the wall and back out to the room that had the mine, the larger side room's door will now be unlocked, proceed through and you'll be met with more zombies a door button, hit the button then kill the zombies on the other side. if you time it well you can skip the fan puzzle by hitting the button again and dodging through before the door closes, if you fail at that find the second button that starts the fan and roll through the largest gap in the blades as it spins. Either way you should be on the correct side of the original door with it closed and a second door open and leading to a room lit in red lights, go in and down, kill the zombie and climb the ladder at the end, this is now the mercenary section.

For the mercenaries you can either sneak by or kill them, i'd recommend shooting one in the head with an arrow stealing his gun and killing the rest with that, make your way down below into the room directly underneath where you entered, there is a desk with blue key card in it, take that then go back up to the 2nd floor and open the door with the key card, clear out this area of mercenaries and zombies and find the pass code locked door, the code is on posters in the whole mercenary area, go through that door collect the yellow key card and head back to the central room again, go through the yellow door this will trigger a cut scene and drop Jodi down to a new section, basement 1.

B1 takes your gun away from you again, but you can look up at the hole in the ceiling and grab the rifle by jumping or standing correctly on the rubble. Make your way through the new section, collecting the pistol, ammo and meds if needed, until you find a ladder and go up, Round the corner and go through the door for another cut scene and a new enemy type, kill them and proceed to a second ambush, there should be a locked door with a button at the far end of a corridor, you can shoot the button to save time and open the door, explore this section until you find the elevator, open it shoot the zombie and ride it up to the only other available floor.

On this floor there is a save room if you need it and several locked doors, exit the elevator and head left taking the corridor behind it, go through this door walk to the end of the platform and you'll see a zombie bust out of a vent, in a crate nearby there is some grenades, throw one through the vent trying to make it bounce to the right, if done correctly it should blow open a section of the wall, jump the gap through the newly made hole and proceed further in, this section is a long corridor with multiple ambushes, the goal is the room with a red X on it at the end, interact with the door to trigger an ambush, kill everything and loot the key card from the red X room, back out and use your new card on the locked door, this should lead to the top floor of the shower room, carefully drop down one floor and your back at the shower.

Hopefully this wasn't too long winded and provides some use to you, though as I said at the start, watching a video is more advisable.

Now when I am at the topfloor where you can save and buy stuff from the vendingmachine then what shall I do?

Last paragraph ;) If having issues with the nades, buy an explosive arrow (although the best way to cheese this bit is by blowing the wall before even entering the shower for the very first time, when you have a ton of free mines - too bad I always forget about this). In short, find your way out of the corridor next to the elevator entry (there is only one way available at this point, so you won't get lost). You will end up on the same shaft with walkways you used to get into the locked-off section where you reset the code, albeit this time you are on the top level of one. Destroy the wall (it will be right in front of you, and a zombie will crawl out of the vent on it just to fall into the shaft), jump across the gap (it has some planks on the edge on Easy and Normal) and explore the newly-available area. If going straight through the corridor without entering any rooms, you'll end up in a dead end with an only X-marked door, trying to open which triggers a horde. Kill everything, enter the "X-room" and solve a code puzzle to get the keycard. Use it in the same corridor - and you will be back in the shower area via the entry you've seen right across the hallway when entering the named area for the very first time. Just re-do the steps you've taken the last time to return to the shower room itself.

Yeah the paragraph should be accurate, but like I advised twice now, just watch a video on youtube. There is quite a bit more to do after getting the bag back and I don't wanna write up yet more bad text on memories.

Thanks for telling me to buy explosive arrows.
That really helped.
Now I have my backpack again but room where that dangerous zombie is are empty.
Nobody screaming or cry there anymore.
