The University: Go Big Horns

A ride across the campus, broken by a building of Runners and a dormitory with a Bloater in it.

This stretch is mostly a ride with Ellie, broken by two spells on foot: a building of Runners and a dormitory with a Bloater. You can get off the horse at chosen spots, so stop for each pickup. The Bloater has to die for its pendant, so bring Molotovs and shotgun shells. Save the materials for a whole shiv too, because the door at the end of the Science Building's first corridor takes one, and Tool 4 is behind it. A missed pickup can be collected after the credits with Chapter Select.

Ride in, garage by the roadblockQuest step
Location
The University · Go Big Horns – Take the last University entrance at the far end of the road below the wreck (you're past this if you took the plant in the grass). Cross the parking lot, pass under the bridge and climb the hill until barbed-wire barriers close the road. Don't jump them yet: turn right into the open loading dock, the garage, and get off the horse.
Summary
The way onto the campus, and a garage beside the first roadblock.

Training Manual: Health SterilizationUpgrade

The University · Go Big Horns – Jump the barricade on the horse and go down the steps into the big courtyard with the monkeys.

A blue dumpster gets you to the same roof.
Summary
A manual in the courtyard building. It raises what a Health Kit restores.

About this guide

One run of the story and one of Left Behind, on any difficulty: no trophy depends on it. The story is one way, so take each pickup before you move on. After the credits, Chapter Select clears anything its menu shows as short, but take the Workbench Tools on the first run: the menu doesn't show them, and one taken on a replay may not count.
