Run 1: Moreau's Reservoir

Down the windmill elevator to the mine tunnels, across the reservoir by boat, through the flooded houses to the sluice gate and the boss, and out through the tunnels again.

The south gate's path follows the little river from East Old Town to a windmill yard. From there an elevator goes down into mine tunnels, a boat crosses the reservoir, and a long run over sinking walkways leads to two windmills and the sluice gate. The 10th and last outhouse is here, behind the Gatehouse. Once the boss is down and you ride the elevator back up, the reservoir and its tunnels are gone for this run, so the walk sweeps every stretch as it passes; the windmill yard at the top stays open.

Typewriter: Windmill ShackArea
Location
Moreau's Reservoir · Windmill Shack – From East Old Town, follow the path beside the little river south: smash the two walls of green slime (any weapon will do) and climb the ladder into the windmill yard. Inside the windmill, the typewriter sits on a table in the room's south-east corner; usable at once.

Location
Moreau's Reservoir · Windmill Shack – In the same room, on a barrel in its north corner. The labyrinth model and the mechanical door in the yard outside can't be used yet; both open up later in the run.
Why you can lose it
Take it before the Ceremony Site: placing the Giant's Chalice there, much later, closes the village and the windmill yard for this run.
Point of no return
The Giant's Chalice goes onto the Stone Dais at the Ceremony Site: the platform sinks and the way to the factory opens. The whole village closes for the rest of this run, and the game asks nothing first.
Requires
Summary
A hint photo for the white pig by the Fallow Plot (the Quality Meat ingredient).

Boat KeyKey item
Location
Moreau's Reservoir · Underground Cavern – Squeeze back out and go down the stairs into the tunnels; slime walls now grow along the way, so break or skirt them. Turn left, then right up a short flight of stairs, and smash the board wrapped in yellow tape. It opens onto a big cavern with a few Lycans; the key hangs on the wall inside the shack by a tree on its east side.

Before you enter the tent at the West Jetty

The boat ends at a dark cave with a small pier. Stepping behind the curtain into the tent there starts a cut-scene, and the Water Cavern beside the pier may not open again afterwards. Take its Large Crystal (optional) first.

Treasure: Large Crystal (Water Cavern)CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Moreau's Reservoir · Water Cavern – Use the Boat Key on the motorboat and steer it through the two tunnels to the pier. Leave the tent for now and turn right into the Water Cavern: the crystal glints high on the cave's west wall, above the southern pool. Shoot it down.
Why you can lose it

Goat of Warding: Central WalkwayCollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Moreau's Reservoir · Central Walkway – Try the windmill's turntable: the crank snaps, so climb down the ladder inside to the flooded houses and cross the sinking platforms only just after the giant fish swims past, shooting the yellow-taped support to drop the next one. Push the first cart over; where the coloured lever switches stand, face back the way you came: the goat is on top of a pole of debris in the water to your left, to the north.

CrankKey item
Location
Moreau's Reservoir · North Windmill – Use the blue and orange switches to raise platforms over to the next building, then its switches to join the blue, orange and white platforms into one walkway; on the long sinking walkways, wait on the middle platform until the fish leaves, then run.

About this guide

Three runs of the main game: a full run for every collectible, a fast New Game+ run on Casual with only the knife, few healing items and little Lei spent, then New Game+ on Village of Shadows with the bonus weapons. The Mercenaries opens after the first credits. Shadows of Rose is a separate story from the main menu, played once on Hardcore. Each domain closes behind you as the story moves on, and the whole village closes before the last stretch, so take everything before each point of no return.
