    Take Heather's right around the corner, take a right at the next fork, and head to the next hall.

    Get the HANGER on the coat rack by the door.
  10. 10
    Return back and enter the westernmost room on the north side in the bigger hallway with Closers (across from where you originally entered that hall).
  11. 11
    Use the HANGER to bring down the ladder and climb up to 2F.
  12. 12
    Head up the escalators to 3F and grab the COOKED KEY from the dog through the right double doors.

  16. 16

    Turn off the fan at the end of the hall (Normal/Hard Riddle Level only) and pass through the door.
  19. 19
    Combine and use the BLEACH and DETERGENT on the bucket by the door (Normal/Hard Riddle Level only; skip this and the next step on Easy).
  20. 20
    Back by the fan, turn it on and re-enter the corridor.
  21. 21
    Follow the hall, take a right at the fork, and go through the first door on your left to the northeast shop.

    Use the Handgun to kill the Split Worm, making sure to dodge its attacks. Hold L2 to see which hole it is coming from next and shoot it when it opens its protective head cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Only shoot it two or three times when it emerges so it doesn't retreat, then dodge its attacks and continue firing to minimize your time. It should die after about 15-20 shots on Normal.

    Head west under the shutter and through the next set of doors.
