This Walkthrough will show the best route for completing the game while doing everything required for getting S Rank upon completing the game. With this you can get the Platinum in a single playthrough, or can be used on a repeat playthrough for getting S Rank easier. Crow Country will take 3-6 hours to complete, depending on how thoroughly you explore.

To get S rank at the end, you will need to complete the game with the following:

• 10 or Fewer Heals Used
  
• 0 Hints Spent
  
• 15 Secrets Found
  
• 0 Lives Used
  
• Must be played on Survival Horror (cannot get ranks on Exploration Mode)

As long as you never use the Fortune Tellers around the game you will finish with 0 Hints Spent, and if you don’t turn on Extra Lives in the settings you will get 0 Lives Used. You will find all 15 Secrets by following the Walkthrough, so the main factor in getting S Rank is the amount of heals you use. As Time Played and Saves Used don’t factor into your ranking, you can take your time and save as regularly as you want, so if you feel you take too much damage or heal too much you can revert to an earlier save.

IMPORTANT INFO
Med Kits and Antidotes count as 1 Heal Used, but Large Med Kits count as 2 Heals Used. Because of this you will want to be cautious about using them unless you’re heavily injured, and if you’re poisoned you’re probably better off just using an Antidote unless you’re also low on health.

As you progress through the game more and more enemies will appear in the areas. You can kill these if you have enough ammo (and there is plenty throughout the game), but many of them you can simply run past without getting hit. If you choose to fight enemies, use your Handgun for most weaker enemies, Shotgun for larger ones, Flamethrower and Grenades for packs, and the Magnum/Shotgun/Grenade for the optional mini-bosses and the final boss fight.

You will also find various traps that appear throughout the game. All of these can be triggered by shooting them and some can be used against enemies. Initially you will find bear traps, gas mines and hanging chandeliers, but later on you will start seeing fake items on the ground which are actually explosives. These appear slightly different in color to the regular items, and they are also usually out in the open rather than tucked away in a corner like regular items. Be careful about picking up items as the damage from these can quickly push you past 10 heals if you trigger them.

Throughout the game you can find wooden crates and glass bottles. These can contain health items or ammo and can be broken with a single shot. You will be able to see what is inside the glass bottles and these will always have an item (though the item is randomized), but wooden crates aren’t guaranteed to have anything in them. You can also search rubbish bins for items, or kick vending machines 1-10 times for handgun ammo or a grenade. The item in glass bottles will change occasionally, most notably when you quit and reload. This means that you can save in a room with a glass bottle and quit/reload if you want to get a particular item (like gasoline). Regular items found in the world are set and will be the same every playthrough.
