Tips

  • Roger "The Wall" is a mini-boss and takes a long time to defeat due to his resistances.
  • Cigarette Cases found throughout the area break down into aluminium for weapon upgrades, and Rings can be sold.
  • The Used Priwen Stake has a significantly higher Stun value than the starting stake.
