Pick up the Coin [Old Man] at the bottom of the trash chute on the right of the entrance to the apartments. Go to the courtyard and pick up the Coin [Snake] from the pram in the swimming pool with no water. Go to Room 101. When you enter the room go in the door to the right of the kitchen to see Eddie. Go to the fire escape, which is to the right, near Room 201, and you'll end up in a new room. SAFE PUZZLE EASY/NORMAL: Just use the numbers. (Example 17 >> 18 << 03 >> 16) HARD: You'll notice the roman numerals V and X in the code, V=5 and X=10, so if you get the code VV6 >> 5 << 6 >> X1 then answer would be 16, 5, 6, 11 (5+5+6=16, 5, 6, 10+1=11). EXTRA: The numbers stay the same, but the letters are as follows a=1, b=2, c=3 etc. Use the number of the letter then add 9 to it. For example for the code 4 >> h << i >> 7 it would be 4, 17, 18, 7 (4, h=8+9=17, 9+9=18, 7). Go out of this new room to the second door on the left, (the one with the Exit sign above it) this will lead to the stairs. Turn left and pick up the map on the floor.

After the water has gone down, go down the stairs to the next area. Strategy from Evil Cat (evltcat@hotmail.com) I have an update (for normal mode) for you with Pyramid Head (Conehead). I tried shooting him, and burned about 40 rounds of ammo I wasn't happy about that, and he glazed me once an almost killed me. I tried it again, and you can simply run away from him for about 2-3 minutes and he will give up and leave. All you have to do is run straight along the wall to the corner of the room and turn left. He swings at where you were, and then approaches where you are. Now run to the end of the room and turn around. He swings at the corner where you were last, then approaches you again. Run back along the wall to the other corner and turn right, then run back to the door and turn around. Repeat for about 2-3 minutes, and the siren goes off and he leaves.

Go through the door on the left of the counter, and then exit the bowling alley. Go left and you'll see Maria again. She'll say she saw Laura run away, but she couldn't catch her. Go round the back of the bowling alley and through a metal gate. Now walk to the top of the small alley and Maria will open a door for you. (6) +++ HEAVEN'S NIGHT & PATH TO THE HOSPITAL +++ Go up the stairs, go through the green door on the right. Go through the door near the "Heavens Night" sign. Go straight on until you see a car in front of you, then go left and keep going until you see Laura again. Now enter the Hospital.

Conehead will knock you down into the Special Treatment Room. Make sure you use the First Aid Kit because you'll be low on health. Go in the second door from the left and look at the blood on the wall. Write down the code from the wall (this code will be random) and go into Room S14. Use the code from the padded room for the number lock on the left, for the keypad on the right use the number from the carbon paper from Examining Room 3, use the "Purple Bull" key and the "Lapis Eye" key to open the box. Go into Room S11 if you need to save, and then go to the Shower Room.

Go down lots of stairs and through the door at the bottom. When you go round the next corner Conehead will start to chase you. If you're playing on Hard action level shoot him a few times with the Handgun then run away until he catches up with you. Repeat this until you reach the elevator. If you're playing on Easy OR Normal action level just run to the elevator and Conehead will never be able to catch you.

(12) +++ UNDERGROUND LABYRINTH +++ Go left until you come to a wall the go right, follow the path until you come to a ladder, go down it. Go straight on the up the ladder. Now you'll have to do the face puzzle. I think to way to do it is to get the face with the yellow eyes right side up facing James, and the face with the red eyes facing James' left (I think). Now that you've done the puzzle go through the newly opened hallway. After you've talked to Maria turn back and pick up the wire cutter near the ladder.
