Episode 1: Number One Fan

Start at Nite's Diner. Grab the coffee pot and serve customers by topping up their cups and dispensing advice.

Collect dirty plates from tables and dispense more advice.

Return the coffee pot and plates to the service window.

Speak to the man by the juke box who needs a book recommendation.

Go down the back corridor and through the first door on the right.

Select one of the Writer's books from the desk. The Writer will speak through a Billy Bass plaque, stating he is in trouble. This is the first of three messages from the Writer.

Return to the corridor and go through the door marked "employees only" to enter the kitchen.

Continue through to the storeroom.

Grab the hunting rifle and shotgun, unlocking the Accessorize! trophy. Also collect 40 rifle rounds, 60 shotgun shells, two Leaky Propane Tanks, and four lots of Get Up and Go Pills. The shotgun has automatic fire if you hold down R2 and the pills give you a full heal.

Leave the diner and head towards the gate at the end of the street.

Go through the gate to meet the Writer's twin brother.

After responding to him, he will ride off on his motorbike.

Look up to spot an axe thrower on a raised platform. Shoot the gas canister next to him to kill him. Keep an eye out for other explosive canisters in the boatyard; kite enemies so they are grouped close to one and shoot it to detonate it. Catching three enemies in one blast unlocks a trophy.

Deal with two more enemies approaching from the front.

Defeat four enemies coming from your left.

Defeat approximately five enemies breaking through the fence on your right.

Grab supplies from containers, being careful of further enemy attacks.

Head through the hole in the fence and follow the flaming trails left by the twin's motorcycle.

Grab supplies from emergency cabinets along the path.

When approaching a bridge, take out the axe thrower on the platform to the right with your rifle.

Cross the bridge and defeat a trio of Haters by a hut.

Go inside the hut and grab supplies.

Continue along the path and fight off another pair of enemies.

When the path forks, take the left path.

Head down some stairs and keep following the path until another fork.

Take the right-hand path to find a shrine to the Writer. Read all three pages from the book to find a second message from him.

Return to the main path and follow it to a cabin.

Ignore the suspicious motorbike and go up to the cabin.

Go through the door. The Writer will address you, but it is a ruse.

Grab supplies from downstairs rooms.

Go upstairs to find the twin is not there. Read a note outlining the twin's plans and some poetry in the other bedroom.

Leave the cabin and head to the nearby beach to confront the twin.

Demand to know where the Writer is.

Kill enemies emerging from the water and more coming down the path.

Follow the flaming tracks back along the path, fending off attacking enemies.

Enemies will stop coming when you reach the stairs.

Approach the stairs for a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) where a deer addresses you in the Writer's voice. This unlocks the I Could Listen to Him All Day trophy.

At the top of the stairs, follow the twin's trail up a steep slope to the mansion grounds.

Confront the Bad Boy. He attacks with a force wave and exploding hearts. Evade the force wave and shoot the hearts before they reach you. Use your shotgun to fire at the Bad Boy when opportunities arise.
