Very useful, but some of the info is wrong. There are plenty of times where you get east and west mixed up. There are also some environmental details that are wrong, likely because of the remaster. Like one of the IDs that is lying next to a "blue towel" that is in fact orange.

add me for co-op trophies
MindShift83 27 May, 2024 @ 2:40pm 
In my playthrough, ID #49 was not on the toolbox, it was further upstairs in a room after picking up ID #51. And so far, i haven't found ID#40, no matter how hard i searched the entire area, there simply was nothing like in your description that matches the location for #40. idk why it is so hard to add sth very specific like arrows...much of your descriptions are confusing and misleading.
Trindalas 24 Mar, 2023 @ 1:03am 
to get herald #33, drive the vehicle up to the door on the fence side and get out so you are smashed between the druck and the door, you can glitch through the door with some effort. some say looking at the truck and jumping backwards works best, but moving forward "through" the door and jumping and sprinting a bunch should get you through eventually too. it takes some effort for sure. then reload last checkpoint or blow yourself up to get back out (killing yourself will cost money though. reloading wont and it wont take away the excerpt)

What happens if you have missed some collectibles in the Hotel because i have tried going back and getting them but the elevator is closed and can't progress. Would i need to do a completely new game and if so would i have to collect everything else again?
Dav 2 May, 2022 @ 8:50am 
some important info here in the comments.
VoID7 6 Apr, 2022 @ 2:05am 
fun fact you don't really have to collect them all, if you miss some you can start a new save and collect the id cards you've already got and it will still count
