Learn how to find and use key items like the red key, lockpick, and wrench to progress through Hello Neighbor. This guide details item locations and puzzle solutions.
Walkthrough
- 1Act 1 - House: After the initial cutscene, obtain the yellow key from Mr. Peterson's car trunk. Use it to unlock the yellow lock, revealing the electromagnet. Use the electromagnet to get the lockpick, then use the lockpick to enter the storage room and retrieve the wrench. Use the wrench to open the backyard ladder, climb to the roof, and collect the red key. Use the red key to access the basement.
- 2Act 1 - Basement: Navigate through the basement, using a chair to open doors. Turn off the breaker box. After the neighbor patrols, find a flashlight, turn on the generator, and pull a lever. Allow the neighbor to catch you to progress.
- 3Act 2 - Basement: Wake up in the basement, exit the room through a vent, climb a ladder, and leave the basement.
- 4Act 2 - House (Main Gate Exit): Manipulate valves throughout the house and backyard to stop water flow. This involves using boxes and crates to reach higher valves. Obtain a shovel, dig in a specific spot in the backyard to find a key, unlock a dollhouse, and turn a valve inside. This allows access to an icy area. Retrieve the red key and exit through the main gate.
- 5Act 2 - House (Hole in Fence Exit): Similar to the main gate exit, manipulate valves using boxes and crates. Obtain the wrench from the kitchen fridge. Retrieve a fallen valve and use it to progress. Obtain a shovel.
Tips
- Understanding valve mechanics is crucial in Act 2: parallel means water flows, perpendicular means it's blocked.
- Use environmental objects like boxes and crates strategically to reach inaccessible areas.
- The neighbor's patrol patterns in the basement require stealth and timing.
- Certain actions, like letting the neighbor catch you at the end of Act 1's basement section, are necessary for progression.
