Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head west on Moorland Rd and dock on the south side just west of the intersection with Benevolent Tides Rd. Enter the hole in the wall to access the Infected Man's Residence.

    Interact with the rocking horse. This counts as Evidence (1/1).

    Approach the bed past the rocking horse. Using Mind's Eye, concentrate on the image of the past centered on the pillow to find the "Bed vision" (Key Evidence 1/5).
  6. 6
    Turn around and visit the other bed. Interact with the journal on the nightstand to find "Lis' secret book!" (Key Evidence 2/5).

    Go upstairs and eliminate three regular humanoid wylebeasts. You will gain +47 XP, +47 XP, and +47 XP.

    To the right of the entrance, interact with the plates on the kitchen table to find "Old meal" (Key Evidence 3/5).
  9. 9
    Interact with one of the three slime pools with suspicious scraps of clothing around them in the main room to collect "Ooze sample" (Key Evidence 4/5).
  10. 10
    Enter the Retrocognition vision at the entrance to the upper apartment.
  11. 11
    Find the three critical scenes within the vision: near the slime pools, near the plates of rotten food, and near the rocking horse downstairs.
  12. 12
    Mark the scenes in chronological order: 1. near the rocking horse downstairs, 2. near the plates of rotten food, 3. near the slime pools.
  13. 13
    After the vision, you will receive "Deadly infestation" (Key Evidence 5/5), "Key Evidence Collected", "All Evidence Collected", and +184 XP.
  14. 14
    Leave the tenement and board the boat. Return to the Shells East phone booth.
  15. 15
    Head west from the phone booth, following Orchard Ave to Powderhouse St. Turn right heading along Powderhouse St and turn left onto E. Brown St.
