Explore the Building

This chapter starts immediately after you fall in the pool off the bridge. Wait for Lev to finish talking to you about where you are, then jump back into the pool. On the bottom left, right on top of the white drain cover, you can find the Illinois Coin.

From there you can then go through the nearby double doors. You can check inside the gym area and the women’s locker room for supplies, then head to the right of the area to “ORCHARDS JUICE BAR”.  Go into the back room to find Artifact #1: Gym Safe Code, which using some detection you can learn is 12-18-79. You can also open a door near the register to find 7 Supplements.

Go out of the bar area and to the opposite end of the hallway. Open the door at the end and you can find a safe, which you can enter 12-18-79 into to open, and find yourself 17 Supplements. This is the final safe in the game, so if you have opened all prior ones you will earn the trophy Safecracker after opening this one.

Go back into the hallway and push your way into the stairwell to continue. You will automatically obtain Artifact #2: FEDRA Orders off the body that was blocking the doorway, warning off Infected in the building.  Head down the stairwell now to continue.

Find a Gas Mask

Abby will enter the spore infected area on her own, and you need to find a gas mask so that Lev is able to come through as well. As soon as you go through you will be facing towards a pit. Turn around and go into the room at the end of the hallway, then search the drawer at the back right to find 8 Supplements.

Go back and you can now cross the beam going across the pit. On this floor first go to the back left corner from where you start, and you should find a bathroom with a hole in the wall attached to room 1907. In a drawer in here you can find 8 Supplements. Exit and go to the right into room 1904, where you can find a total of 14 Parts, 9 on a table and 5 in a drawer under the TV.

Now in this same room look at the body by the bed to find a gas mask. Interact with it to pick it up.

Deal with Infected

After picking up the gas mask there will now be a large number of Stalkers running around in the rooms outside. There is 6 total, and they will move around constantly, so your best bet is probably to do a lap around the area counter-clockwise and clear out the rooms as you’re going. There are a decent number of supplies in this area, so it would be a good spot to use your normal handgun with the crafted silencer to take the Stalkers out with one shot each without alerting the others. As you kill them they will basically continually move closer to you, so you can just hang out in the first bedroom and most of them will wander over as you shoot them.

After they are all dealt with, go over to the now opened room that all the Stalkers were hiding in. On the bed, you can find 9 Supplements. Then head back the way you came to get the gas mask to Lev.

Continue Down the Building

After returning to Lev you’ll be back in the spore area. Lev will point out a fire hose to you up above. Interact with the wall and you will boost Lev up to it so you can use it to rappel down. At the bottom of the area enter the room immediately right. Beside a body, you can find Artifact #3: FEDRA Final Note.

Continue along the main path, and you will have one Clicker burst out of a wall to attack you. After it’s dead continue again and jump down to the next floor. As soon as you cross a beam you will be able to hear a nearby Clicker hanging out, which will be around the corner to the left. There will also be another just to the right that will burst out of a fungal growth to attack you if you get too close, like if you want to grab the box of explosives sitting beside it. You are able to shoot it in the head and kill it while it is still inside immobilized though.

Directly across from where the left Clicker was you can find 12 Parts sitting on a table. Continue on and squeeze through the door into the bathroom, then go across the next beam. In this next room if you look to the left you can find the Flamethrower weapon, then also another Infected in the wall to shoot.  There are also 10 Supplements on the counter to the left of the wall Infected.

Go back across this beam, and then take a right to where the crumbled floor is and drop down to the next floor. The correct way to progress is to go into room 1302, but first you can check the room in the opposite directions for a number of supplies. In the bathroom drawer, you can find 7 Supplements, then in the next room beside the ledge you can find 14 Parts.

Go back and into room 1302. In this room there are two Clickers standing still with their backs to where you enter, so you can take them both out quietly with shivs. Alternatively, you can just drop down to the lower area through the first door on the left if you don’t want to search the room they are in. Go across the next beam, and in the room across there will be a Shambler walking back and forth.

If you want this would be a fun time to try out your new flamethrower, as it should make quick work of it with concentrated fire. After it’s dead check the drawer in the table to the right to find 3 Parts. Then go back and take the second beam from where you got off the first.

Across the metal beam you then need to sprint jump down to the next floor. Immediately in front of you there will be another wall Infected, then to the right of it on a table you can find 10 Supplements.

From there turn directly around and you will see another open doorway. Jump into there, and on the right side on a small ledge, you can find the Oregon Coin.

Jump back across, and then follow the path over the next beam. Drop down to the final floor where the door leading to the area with the windows. Behind where you dropped down there is a nightstand, with a total of 23 Supplements on top and in its drawer.

Get to the Elevators

Continue dropping down until you reach a spot where you drop in front of a door and hear Infected moving around. Push through the door, then you will be in a large area with a number of Infected. Directly in front of you as soon as you enter there will be a Clicker walking away, then if you look towards the end of the hallway there is a Bloater standing still that you probably don’t want to make aware of you yet.

If you want to use stealth as much as possible, go through the gap to your left first. In the next room will be a Clicker standing still that you can shiv, then continue through the room. In here there will be a Clicker that is walking around, so wait for it to get in a good spot to also hit with a Shiv.

Go back to the main hallway now and you can easily Shiv the third clicker. If you want you can now move through the right side of the area, but be aware there are wall Infected that will jump out if you get too close and alert the Bloater. When you’re ready there are a couple options for how to deal with it. You can toss something to get it away from the elevators and then sneak by, or hit it with the flamethrower and other heavy weapons.  While shooting it with the flamethrower it will be continually stunned, so can’t attack you as long as you are spraying it.

When you’re ready go to the elevator at the back of the area and interact with it to get in the elevator shaft.

Get Out of the Building

In the elevator shaft, jump down to the lower elevator then exit out into the hallway. Look to the immediate left, and smash the glass on the vending machine. This causes the Wisconsin Coin to drop into the coin slot for you to pick up. There are also 8 Parts on the cart to the left.

Continue out of the building and you’ll enter a large outdoor bar area. Go behind the counter in the middle where you can find the Rhode Island coin on the end by a cash register. You can then go over to the covered area with the couches in the corner to find 15 Parts.

Get to the Hospital

Head towards the back of this area and you will enter another building. You can now basically just follow Lev to get where you are going. In this first building there will be a small drop, then you should immediately look to the left to find a bathroom which will have 18 Parts sitting on the toilet.

In a moment you will leave Lev behind and go up to the hospital by yourself. Swim across the water, then you will be let into the hospital compound. When you’re in the gate and done talking to the guys, don’t go towards the hospital yet. Turn to the right and walk into the building past the tall grass. On the ground inside you can find the Missouri Coin, the final collectible for this chapter.

After that you can check around and talk to people for some optional conversations if you want, then go and interact with the main door of the hospital to end the chapter.
