    3. Shulk Acacia

      There is a character that is blacked out in the select menu that says to look out for him when season 2 comes out. So maybe itΓÇÖs that?

    4. Sachin

      You are missing the lunchbox my friend. YouΓÇÖll find it in the remaining unlocked chest of the four in the house next to the school.

    5. vessa

      i had the same thing happen, turns out i had missed eleven’s syrup in the high school gym by using the pool. so that could be it, or you could be missing a quest item, anything could really happen in this game

      You have to have the aluminum bat from the hunting store first.

  9. Syunn

    1. AppUnwrapper

    1. Sod

    I need help with finding the second VHS tape. I think it’s located in the forest maze, but there’s a gate and I need a key to open it. I checked the maze many times but I can’t find an extra key to open it. I have 95.8% of the game completed and this is one of the last things I need in order to go to the movie theater to complete the game.

    1. AppUnwrapper

      If you’re that far, you might be able to find a key card at the Florist for $500.

  16. Renee

    where at in the library do i find vhs #5? I already had defeated everything in the library so I dont know where the guards were at.

    1. AppUnwrapper

      You have to go back and defeat the new enemies that spawn after you beat the boss. The VHS is in one of the rooms close to the entrance but only after beating the boss first.

      1. Renee

        I found where its at.. in the library its near the upper left area for anyone who wants to know specifically where to find it.

  17. capybara

    Where can I find Mrs Wheeler?

  18. Chris Setchell

    There is a glitch in the bunker dungeon (classic mode) where you can get unlimited key cards. It’s the 2nd or 3rd level lift a female elite agent patrols infront of the lift. When killed she drops the card for collection but if you are killed she respawns and the card can be collected again. Do this several times to gain lots of key cards they remain in your inventory in every dungeon.

  19. Eli

    Where is the police station

      1. Derek

        I made it through the game in normal mode and was wondering if the VHS’s are only in classic?
        The only thing I missed was Nancy’s alternate outfit, does she not have one? If anyone remembers where they got it let me know.

        1. Dip

          Bro same thing! ThatΓÇÖs the only thing IΓÇÖm missing. Please tell me you found it?? IΓÇÖve looked everywhere. I have literally everything else. 99.3% complete. Help lol
