Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive scene), you will receive the Founders Key.

    Save your game at the save point in the northeast room of the Town Hall if desired.
  5. 5
    Note that Smogs (monsters) constantly respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) (reappear) in this building, so killing them may be a waste of ammo.

    In the basement, you will find four ANCIENT BOOKS. Two are near the tunnel you entered from, and two are on the opposite wall.

    Locate a door with a slot to the side, blending into the wall between the two books across from the tunnel you entered.

    Walk between the two books to get an "Unlock" command.
  18. 18

  21. 21
    Turn left, move forward, and follow the tunnel to the right.
  22. 22

Tips
  • Killing Smogs in the Town Hall is a waste of ammo as they constantly respawn.
  • Aim for the glowing lungs of the Smogs when using the handgun; the shotgun offers a one-hit kill when aiming for the lungs.
