Walkthrough/Help Thread

[Korsair]

Just thought I would set up a help thread.


I have a couple of questions that need answering:


How do I collect fingerprints?

Where do I find a "hook"?

Anyone know all the locations so far?

[Botspan]

I managed it without the car with only 3 people (Barry), although doing this in awakening mode with 4 people gives you slightly more time to leeway about. I'm not sure if this is even possible with only Cate around though.

Edit: tried with Cody alive instead of Barry, did not have enough time to tape the tarp on the helicopter hole, so definitely not possible if both of them are dead.

If you get heatwave for day 2, it might be better to try and survive inside the house instead of going to the cave to minimize the walk distance to Sidereal Plexus. It's still possible to do it perfectly even there.

You only need to do the following things for perfect storm scenario:

• 3 powered storm catchers at restaurant, crane, tree at hunter lodge
  
• Trench around the house
  
• Taped tarp over the helicopter hole
  
• Lightning rod on the chimney
  
• Closed roof hatch

The most time consuming task is obviously setting up the 3 storm catchers. I recommend going to the hunter lodge right after you leave Sidereal Plexus to get the necessary items for negotiating with Sarge. Then setup the storm catchers at restaurant, crane (fill the fuel can before going here and don't forget to get the tarp while you're at it), then hunter lodge in that order.

Preparing the house should be straightforward by now.

Some time savers:

• Don't bother with boarding up the windows. They're not necessary at all and only serves to protect you if you fail to do the scenario perfectly.
  
• Pull the moose's antler over the fireplace at the hunter lodge to open the safe instead of trying to pry it open with the crowbar.
  
• You can put off the retrieval of both floppy disks (applicable for awakening mode only) til' Day 4 since you gotta go back there anyway to synthesize the chemical.
  
• Same goes with mourning over the dead companion if that happens.

I may record a video walkthrough of this should I have the time for it.

Please do that, because I can't properly remember all that text.

Here you go:

Things that happened on Day 1 & 2 that's relevant:

• Partially built the bridge (so you don't have to waste time crossing the ravine)
  
• Got the bandage from the RV
  
• Survived in the house from freezing. Perfect Heat in house is completely possible however.

Hm... Wasn’t aware the windows weren’t a perfect condition requirement. They seem like something you’d need really, funny thing is I managed to do Day 4 without the car perfectly.

[DaGamerDude584]

Day 3 storm seems to be harder than day 4. There aren't a lot of time-consuming tasks for day 4.

Feel free to correct me but, on doing the achievement for not using the car at all. I’ve found that Day 3 Acid Rain cannot be perfectly completed. I calculated my movements and only went where I needed to when I needed to. Yet in the end the last thing I needed to do, trenches, I only had 39 minutes left, and even if you’re on Awakening with both Barry and Cody, the time constraint is too great to get it done perfectly. Yet I’ve done Day 4 perfectly without the car, with a few hours to spare (3h14m). I’ve yet to try others but my run was (Spiders, Blizzard, Rain, Air) though I think Day 4 takes the same amount of time to complete regardless of the scenario. Also the key difference in getting the Finger or the Glue mold, 10 minutes.

Hey, I know this is an old post, but I just completed day 3 only walking, with the exact same order as you, spiders, blizzard, acidic thunderstorm and air, and without losing Barry and Cody, I finished the day with perfect score leaving exactly 1 hour spare. Which I believe means that I could have also gotten perfect with one of them absent. Let me know if you want to know how.

Okay, never mind. I didn't realise that there were replies this far back in the discussion that answered it for you. I essentially did the same thing as the person who made the video. Except that I left the window covers up, and had the fuel tank full from the previous day.
The covers do accomplish nothing for the rain if you have secured the roof well enough.

Anyone know what to do with the crack in the tail fin of the spaceship? What can I use to patch it up?

I haven't gotten to the space ship but have you tried duct tape?

Get the Grapiling Hook (Hook is the RV using wrench and rope is from the flag) and tough glove (on day three if you have bandits its with the bike and in the resturaunt if you have the thuderstorm.
Use glove on rusty scafolding and the use the grapling hook on the buckle, get the welding kit.
At the spaceship use the srewdriver on the satalite and take the metal plate.
Plug the welding kit in first and then use the metal plate on the crack.

Get The fingerprint by using a knife on the corpse at the office.
Or you can use the glue gun on the window at the bus crash site.

Use the wrench on the RV for the hook.

On the third day of the game when you get to the Hunting Cabin, there's a paint can with something stuck in it. How do I get the item out of the can? I've already tried having a bottle of water or the bottle of Oil used on it and nothing happens. What do I need to do to get that item out?

That can doesn't seem to do anything at all iirc.
It is one of those red herring items if I am not mistaken.
