Chapter 2 has more breathing room compared to Chapter 1, as the action is dialed down and the game focuses on the story and world- building. Here, you will take part in many quests and hunt for timed collectibles. This is going to be a running theme going forward. You also get introduced to a hub area where we will mingle with NPCs and complete side quests before moving on with the game.

It Begins
After leaving Chapter 1 with Tempest, you will arrive at the Railway Station, which will serve as a hub area between chapters. In the Railway Station, we can take part in all sorts of activities, but we will be primarily focusing on getting all the collectibles and completing all the side quests before heading for the next chapter. While we can tackle the side quests early, I recommend completing the main quest first, since it unlocks the areas required for side quests.
We will complete the main quest until we get the notification warning us of leaving. When you leave the area without completing the side quests, all of the quests (Half-finished or not even started) will get cancelled along with all the collectibles.
After getting down on the street below the platform, make your way to the Safe Zone building.
Scannable Object: #1 Strange Counting Rhyme
Outside the Safe Zone building, a bit to the right, in front of the green and white umbrella, you will find a signboard. Interact with the board to get the Strange Counting Rhyme.
Scannable Object #2: Phoenix Corporation Is Born/ Music Track#1 Endless Meadow
Head inside the Safe Zone building, on the left, directly near the stairs, you will find “Phoenix Corporation Is Born.” Head down the stairs, and move to the right, near the Zone of Exchange, you will find the music track, “Endless Meadow.”
Now head back up the stairs, and move to the right, and you will find yourself in a bar. Soon, you step in, and the cutscene will trigger, progressing the main quest.

Unlocking a new ability to use your gun in combat with the Gun Shot move. You will also get a tutorial to practice with a dummy, hit him with your melee weapon (LMB), to automatically charge the gun, once fully charged, shoot the dummy by pressing “F”.

Music Track #2: A Place to Call Home
If you move to the right of the girl in Arcade, then you will get to a hidden room with the track, “A Place To Call Home” music track.

Donor Rush Minigame Tips
- I will highly recommend getting the driving right, don’t waste time getting stuck or taking the long cut to your patients. Remember, you are always running out of time; you can check the timer at the top-right of the screen.
- Grab all the patients and then deliver them to the Hospital point. Now we come to the meat of the minigame, which is to properly transfer the organ from one body to another without making a mistake, or you will lose a lot of points.
- You will use the medical instrument to take out the organs from one body to another, but don’t let the organ touch any other part of the body. The goal is to move the organ in its designated path. You can move the instrument freely around, but once you grab the organ, just make sure the organ stays in its path.
- Move the organ to the other body’s targeted place, same rule as before, don’t let the organ touch either side of its route, or you will fail getting the point.
Med-Stim Upgrade #1: Immune Modulator
You don’t have to score a ludicrous amount; just get the score above 5000 to get the upgrade! If you do beat the score of 5000, you will get the Immune Modulator, which allows you to use the Med-Stims faster.
Health Upgrade #1: Genetic Profile
Talk to Susan to give you the Lens, and you can then talk to David at the top of the platform to complete his quest. And he will reward you with a Genetic Profile upgrade, which increases your overall health.
Doctor’s Quest
Head down from the platform and now make your way all the way left of the area to get to the Hospital. Inside, you will find the doctor. Talk to him to start his quest to find a new Regulator.
Scannable Object #8: Old FPRS Booklet
Before leaving the Hospital for the quest, head a bit right from the doctor, and you will find the last scannable object, “Old FPRS Booklet.”
