Siren: Blood Curse Chapter 2 Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 2 of Siren: Blood Curse. This is where things start to get tense, and you'll get your first real taste of how the game wants you to play. We're starting off in Lower Arato, and our main guy here is Howard Wright. Your primary goal? Just to escape a persistent police officer. Simple, right? Well, not exactly.

As soon as the chapter kicks off, you'll snag a few archive files: ++THE SACRED REVELATIONS (#01)++, ++VIDEO CAMERA (#02)++, and ++HOWARD WRIGHT'S STUDENT ID (#03)++. Don't worry too much about them right now, just know you've got 'em.

You begin inside a building. Take a moment to get a feel for the controls. You can tap the O button to switch between crouching and standing. Seriously, crouching is your best friend early on because Howard is pretty vulnerable. To attack, you can tap R1 or [] for a quick punch combo, but honestly, these are only really useful if you've got a weapon. Use the X button to check out your surroundings and interact with stuff. The / button is for special interactions, but the game will tell you when to use it with a prompt.

Here are some other key controls to remember:

Hold R2 to enter first-person view.
Hold L1 to sidestep while moving right or left.
Press D-pad left to yell.
Press D-pad up to toggle your flashlight.

Yelling is super useful for drawing an enemy's attention, which can be handy for setting up traps later. The flashlight, though? It's silent, so the shibito won't notice it, meaning you can keep it on without worry for now.

First things first, head through the doorway of the building you're in. This will trigger a cutscene.

-- CHECKPOINT --

[ ] Goal: Reach the house.

After the cutscene, you'll hit a checkpoint. The police officer shibito from the cutscene is going to aim his gun at Howard. Your immediate action? Turn around and run down the road behind you. He'll probably hit you a couple of times, but just keep moving. Look to your left – you'll see a wooden canopy with a bench. Head over there and grab the --SAKE BOTTLE (#39)-- by pressing X when the prompt appears.

Your main objective is up the hill behind this canopy, but we're going to do something a little cheeky first. Grab that sake bottle, then run back towards the police officer. Get right up next to him and smash him in the head with the bottle by tapping R1 or []. This will stun him for a bit and he'll drop ++SHUJI SHIMADA'S POLICE LOG (#04)++. Quickly grab his notepad from the ground and sprint back down the road before he shakes it off.

Now, find the set of stairs behind the wooden canopy and run up them. A man will stumble out of the darkness and fall in front of Howard. Don't stop to help him; that police officer is still on your tail! Keep pushing up the hill, and you'll reach another building.

[X] Goal: Reach the house. COMPLETE

[ ] Sub-Goal: Find a place to hide.

Make a dash for the sliding door of this building. You'll get an
