Note: You may need a Combat Knife before proceeding.

You can find one in the Safety Deposit Room of the Police Station. Just enter the code “102” in the terminal to unlock the Combat Knife. Head to the Second Floor (2F) of the Police Station, into the Library.

There should be a locked door somewhere in the room, note the location of that door.

Remember kids, a Detonator consists of a Battery and an Electronic Gadget. Using the Detonator will reveal the Maiden Statue.

Note: You must possess Bolt Cutters before proceeding.

Head to the East Office on the First Floor of the Police Station and use Bolt Cutters to find a Round Handle.

Climb to the Second Floor (2F) of the Police Station (west) and head into the Shower Room. Use the Round Handle to stop the steam in the room. When the steam has been shut down, the pathway to the S.T.A.R.S Office will finally open.

Head into the S.T.A.R.S Office to find the Battery. Pick it up. Climb down to the First Floor (1F) of the Police Station, into the Operations Room. You will need to use the Bolt Cutters to pry open the door. Pick up the Electronic Gadget you find here.

After making the Detonator, head into the West Storage Room on the Third Floor (3F) and use the detonator on the C4 that is clipped on the Barricade here. Boom. Let’s roll!

Easter Egg: Rebecca Chambers Picture

In the Sewers, use the T-Bar Handle to open the door to the Worker’s Lift in the Lower Waterway, and inside you’ll find a lift going up to the Workroom on the upper floor with Film Roll: Hiding Places. Develop this film in the Dark Room to reveal two hidden locations. Note: These will not appear as interactive unless you developed the film!

The top photo is a tough one – but there is one isolated desk in an office with a flag – the S.T.A.R.S. Office. Take the path through the Library to get to the office, and inspect the solitary office desk to find a Wooden Box, which you can inspect to find an upgrade to your weapon.

There’s also something else that’s easily missed tucked in the back of the drawer – look again to find another Roll Film: Rising Rookie hidden at the back of the drawer. You can develop this back at the Dark Room to get the Rising Rookie photo File, a picture of Rebecca Chambers from the first Resident Evil game.
