Not a Hero: Professional

Not a Hero again on Professional: the same mine with a knife-only start, harder fights, moved pickups and You're the Hero Now.

Professional opens after your first clear. It is the same mine, the same three shutters and the same story as section 14, but you start with only a knife, your pistol and shotgun lie somewhere in the mine, there are more Molded and more tripwires, and the timing for a block that staggers an enemy is tighter. The required rows follow section 14's route and say what changes. The Professional coins, the two birdcages, the lock pick, its box and the free upgrade are optional; most coins are in new places. The files are where they were on Normal and section 14 already lists them.

Blocking, saving and the item box

Block just before a hit lands to stagger the attacker, then punch; with only a knife early on, this is how you get past most Molded. Molded keep returning to the Central Cavern: open a shutter and step just inside it, without going far enough for it to close, and the ones nearby disappear for a moment, long enough to save. On Professional the Central Cavern is not the first item box: there is one where the Abandoned Mine's stairs end.

Start Not a Hero on Professional; take the rewards from the North Cavern item boxHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepDLC: Not A HeroMinor spoiler
Location
Abandoned Mine · North Cavern – From Extra Content, start Not a Hero on Professional. Deflect the first Molded and get the timing right before going on (if it hits you, it's worth restarting); kill one of the next three or slip past them. Where the stairs end in the North Cavern, an item box holds your unlocks: take Thor's Hammer Sight B and Fast Walk, and Easy Deflect if you earned it. After a bomb is strapped to your wrist, take the grenades on the desk in the next office. Then follow section 14's way down to the lift and the Central Cavern.

Summary

Professional: Cell Key and High-Grade Filter with the Mama Mold roamingQuest stepDLC: Not A Hero
Location
Mining Work Area · 2F Work Sector A – Red shutter and the lift to Work Sector A, as on Normal. About nine Molded roam with the Mama Mold: stay near the tracks on the right, pick off the small ones while keeping away from the big one, and go back to the hub to save every few kills. The Gear is safe to take, but the moment you step into the middle the Mama Mold charges you: block right before it connects to stagger it. Then grab the Crank, fit both on the winch and turn it (stagger it again if you need time). Take the Cell Key down, open the cell and take the High-Grade Filter.

Location
Mine Cart Yard · Holding Yard – Before pushing the first cart, leave the door behind you open; push it, then run back through that door so the exploding Molded vanishes. In the Holding Yard the pick is on a barrel in the southern part, past the wooden barrier, which only a cart sent through it breaks, and that calls a Molded. Send the cart through, sprint back the way you came, open the door, keep running until the Molded vanishes, then return for the pick. Blocking the barrier with another cart avoids the Molded but leaves the pick behind.

Shield Machine – Return to the hub and put the Clown Key in the terminal beside the save point. Take the pistol with ordinary rounds and RAMRODs, the shotgun and a Neuro-stun grenade into the Shield Machine. Headshot Molded with the pistol and punch them, keeping the shotgun for when they crowd you; a punched Molded staggers any it hits. Stay on the steps in wave one and give each White Molded one RAMROD. In wave two, stand by the wall next to the stairs to catch the four-legged ones as they come. When the last two Fat Molded break in at the back, stun them with the Neuro-stun grenade and give each one RAMROD. Take the supplies at the top and crawl out through the vent. In the Research Facility, kill the three jumping Molded and the blade-armed one off the hallway, get past the Fat Molded on the stairs (stun it and run up), and deflect the four-legged Molded by the stretcher (the one lying on it stays still if you don't look at it).

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.
