A Place to Call Home: Downtown

Main quest 11 from the metro tunnel to the Fish Eye: the Paraglider, the Downtown Electrical Station for the Survivors, the Fish Eye defence and the talk with Jack Matt; then the Downtown sweep: both windmills, the GRE Vaccine Lab, C-A-79, two airdrops and Nightrunner Trial VI.

This stretch starts in the metro tunnel where Let's Waltz! comes out, under Downtown, a district of high-rises in the Central Loop. A Place to Call Home switches on Metro: Downtown Court, hands you the Paraglider and has you restore the Downtown Electrical Station, then ends at the Fish Eye, the big rooftop hub in New Dawn Park. From then on the whole Central Loop is open, and Old Villedor is reached only by fast travel. With the Pipe Bow, the GRE key, lockpicks and now the Paraglider, all of Downtown can be swept: the 'Pine' and 'Walnut' windmills, the GRE Vaccine Lab, the C-A-79 anomaly (night only; a bed at a metro station or windmill skips to it), two airdrops and Nightrunner Trial VI. The Downtown Thugs bandit camp waits until a Fish Eye side quest is done (next section). Left for later: anything that needs the Grappling Hook (main quest Broadcast), the Carriers Guild and the art collector's flat, which open with later story quests, and the trip back to Old Villedor for the Houndfield Electrical Station and its two metro stations.

Metro: Downtown CourtArea
Location
Central Loop · Downtown – You walk through it in the tunnel at the start of A Place to Call Home, and the game says it can now be used for fast travel. It sits in the middle of Downtown, next to the GRE Vaccine Lab. If its map icon later turns back into a question mark, walk in again to rediscover it. Tunnel Entrance should pop as the first station comes on; if it doesn't here, it comes with the first station you restore yourself.
Requires
Summary
One of the 9 metro stations for Tube Map, and the Central Loop's first fast-travel point. The story switches it on, so there is nothing to restore.

Choice: give the station to the Survivors

The panel asks which faction gets the Downtown Electrical Station. Pick the Survivors, as with the water tower. The choice is permanent; Boot Licker needs all 7 facilities given to one faction, so one facility to the Peacekeepers loses it on this save. This station changes nothing in the story. Search the control room first: assigning it clears the loose loot inside.

Central Loop · Downtown – Use the panel in the control room and choose the Survivors. The station becomes a safe zone and Downtown turns Survivor, with their rewards and settlements; the Peacekeepers outside simply leave.

Choice: tell Jack Matt the truth

After the defence you meet Jack Matt, the Peacekeepers' leader. His first questions don't matter; when he asks about Aitor, tell him the truth. That opens the side quest Aitor during Welcome On Board, which leads to a unique reward. Lying means the quest never appears.

About this guide

Two runs on any difficulty. Run 1 plays the whole story with every collectible, gives all seven facilities to the Survivors and ends with one ending; a save backup made outside the game at the last door before the finale lets you watch a second ending by replaying only the last two quests, not the whole game. After the credits the city stays open for cleanup and Bloody Ties. Run 2 is New Game+ on the other faction's path for the third ending. The game has no manual saves, so the backup steps say how to copy your save on each platform; without them, each extra ending needs another New Game+ run. Two trophies need other players.
