Banned Footage Vol. 1: Ethan Must Die

The one-life challenge: through a trapped Main House to the Greenhouse Key, then the Greenhouse fight, for the hardest trophy in the pack.

Ethan Must Die is the second entry on the Extra Content menu, beside Banned Footage. You start with only the Knife, the watch and twelve slots, and two unguarded hits can kill you. There are no checkpoints: a death sends you back to the start. Weapons and healing come from crates whose contents and places change after every death, so the steps below give the route and its traps, not the loot. Enemy and trap positions stay the same, so each attempt teaches the next. A Madhouse clear of the main game first, and knowing the house well, makes it far easier.

Crates, bombs and the statue

Crates come in ranks: brown, green, purple, and a rare silver chest with the best finds. A crate wrapped in a single layer of tape that ticks is a bomb: leave it or shoot it from a distance. On this route crates that aren't green are often bombs, so break the green ones first. Each death leaves a statue where you fell; break it on the next attempt for one random item you carried then (never the Knife). Only the latest death leaves one, and dying before you reach it loses it. Close doors behind you, and blocking still cuts most damage.

Ethan Must Die: Basement Bug NestQuest stepDLC: Banned Footage Vol 1
Location
Ethan Must Die · Main House – On the title menu choose Extra Content, then Ethan Must Die; you start in the Yard by the Old House entrance. Inside the Main House, take the door beside the grandfather clock, shut it behind you and go through the watch room and the fireplace room to the small room beyond, where a crate sits behind a tripwire: crouch under it, then step back and let a Molded set it off. Then run down the basement stairs and crouch to knife the nest on the door at the bottom (about 12 slashes; no bugs come out).
Summary
The way down to the basement is blocked by a bug nest that only the Knife can clear.
PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
Ethan Must Die can't be played in PS VR: play it on the TV.

Ethan Must Die: Locked-Room FightQuest stepDLC: Banned Footage Vol 1
Location
Ethan Must Die · Processing Area – Past the nest, run over the first and third floor plates in the corridor, skirt the second along the left wall and take the Incinerator Room's items; on the way back, lead a Quick Molded onto that second plate. Further on a Fat Molded waits: guard its vomit, slip past on its left and go down to the Dissection Room, then up its stairs past the room where the deputy's body lay in the main game. The room after that locks until its two Molded are dead, so bring a shotgun or the Burner from the crates. The fight may instead come in the Boiler Room, against mostly Quick Molded: fire the shotgun from the hip.
Summary
A room in the Processing Area seals itself until every Molded inside is dead.

Ethan Must Die: Second Floor to the Broken StairsQuest stepDLC: Banned Footage Vol 1
Location
Ethan Must Die · Main House 2F – Carry on up the stairs from the fight: when something clicks at the top, run back to the cobwebs as a swinging pipe trap comes down, then mind the floor plate by the hole in the master bedroom, the room of the Bedroom tape. Out on the Main Hall's upper floor, wait for a locked door to open, slip onto the balcony before the corridor's sentry gun fires and crouch past the last sentry's sensor. In the recreation room, wait between the counter and the pool table for its sentry to reset, then go on through the hallway, the shower room and past the drum barrel, and drop down the broken stairwell.
Summary
From the basement up to the Main House second floor, across it past sentry guns, and down the broken stairwell.

Greenhouse Key (Ethan Must Die)Key itemDLC: Banned Footage Vol 1
Location
Ethan Must Die · Living Room – Below the stairwell, set off the floor plate by the laundry door and step clear, and shoot out the nearer of the two tripwires. Enter the living room by the kitchen's small door (the double doors from the Main Hall are rigged), work around its sentry guns and take the key from the shelf at the far end. The room locks: wait by the sentry gun near the key spot while it kills two Molded, and guard until the Fat Molded bursts.
Summary
The key to the Greenhouse, kept in the living room. Taking it locks the room until its attackers die.

Marguerite (Ethan Must Die)BossDLC: Banned Footage Vol 1
Location
Ethan Must Die · Greenhouse – Leave through the Main Hall to the Yard and go round the left of the trailer, where a Fat Molded and a Molded appear; up the Greenhouse stairs, use the key on the locked door, break the safe crates in its rooms and drop into the hole. She smashes in through a window as you climb, so guard, then let her come to you and let the Greenhouse traps and sentry guns hurt her. Fire hits hardest: the Burner or Flame Rounds on her weak spot, then everything else.
Summary
The final fight, in the Greenhouse, with Marguerite weaker than in the main game and no insects or eggs.

About this guide

Three runs of the main game: a full run on Normal for every collectible, a fast run on Easy under four hours with few Item Box openings and few First Aid Meds, then Madhouse with its own coin layout. Runs 1 and 2 take different serum choices, as the guide says. The four DLC are separate modes from the main menu, playable at any time. Each area closes behind you as the story moves on, so take everything before each point of no return.
