Run 1: The Guest House

From the new-game screen and the walk up from the car to the end of the prologue in the attic.

Run 1 is the full walk, on Normal, with every pickup on the way. This first stretch is a short prologue in the Guest House: a videotape, a flooded basement and an attic. Nothing found here can be fetched later, and of everything carried, only the Antique Coin is still yours once the prologue ends. There is no chapter select, so every file and coin counts for this save file only. Save at the tape recorder on the 2F, and save again after any pickup you care about: dying sends you back to the last save without it.

New game: choose Normal (or Easy) for the full walkQuest step
Location
Guest House · New game – Start a new game and pick Normal. Easy has the same items and enemies in the same places, with weaker enemies, so it works for this walk too. Madhouse only opens after a first clear.
Summary
The difficulty is set when a file starts and can't be changed later. Clearing Normal also counts as an Easy clear for the trophies.

File: Email from MiaCollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Guest House · Opening drive – As soon as you control Ethan by the car, open the inventory, examine the email and read it through to the end. Read it now, before the prologue ends.
Why you can lose it
Read it at once, during the prologue: the Guest House closes for this run when the prologue ends, and the email may not stay in your inventory after that. Missing it means the file trophy waits for a full later run.
Point of no return
Climbing the ladder at the end of the 3F: the attic fight follows at once, and the prologue ends with it. The Guest House can't be revisited for the rest of the run, and everything carried except Antique Coins is lost.
Requires
Summary
The first of the 32 files of a run. It starts in your inventory, so it's easy to forget.

Reach the Guest House back yardQuest step
Location
Guest House · Back Yard – Follow the dirt path to the front gate: it's locked and the intercom is dead. Go left, down past a parked van, and through the rusted gate with the bloody sign. A man watches from the trees but doesn't attack. Crouch under the small gate hung with animal parts and drop off the ledge behind it.
Requires
Summary
The walk from the car to the back of the Guest House. The first trophy pops as the opening drive ends.

Location
Guest House · Back Yard – At the foot of the ledge, a woman's handbag lies by a small bonfire near the back porch. Examine it, turn it until you can look inside and take the license. Do it before you step indoors: the back door locks behind you.
Why you can lose it
Take it before going in: the back door shuts behind you, and the Guest House closes for this run when the prologue ends.
Point of no return
Climbing the ladder at the end of the 3F: the attic fight follows at once, and the prologue ends with it. The Guest House can't be revisited for the rest of the run, and everything carried except Antique Coins is lost.

Lock Pick: Derelict House FootageItemMissablePoint of no return
Location
Guest House · Back Yard (in the tape) – The moment the tape gives you control, take a step or two back and look down: the pick is on the ground by your feet, in the south-east corner of the back yard where the tape begins.
Why you can lose it
It is only there while the tape plays: pick it up at the very start, before following the others inside.
Point of no return
Climbing the ladder at the end of the 3F: the attic fight follows at once, and the prologue ends with it. The Guest House can't be revisited for the rest of the run, and everything carried except Antique Coins is lost.

Why you can lose it
Open it while the tape is still running: the pick can't be used once the tape ends, and the Guest House closes for this run when the prologue ends.
Point of no return
Climbing the ladder at the end of the 3F: the attic fight follows at once, and the prologue ends with it. The Guest House can't be revisited for the rest of the run, and everything carried except Antique Coins is lost.

Before you climb the attic ladder

The ladder at the end of the 3F starts the last fight of the prologue, and the Guest House closes for this run once it's over. Check that you have: the Driver's License, the Email from Mia read, the Antique Coin from the kitchen drawer (picked open with the tape's Lock Pick), and both sides of the List of Names read. Everything you carry except the coin is taken away when the prologue ends.

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.
