Manfred & The Shark | Heavy Rain Walkthrough Heavy Rain guide, walkthrough
Last update: 21 June 2019
Manfred
On this page of our Heavy Rain Game Guide, you'll find a description of Manfred scene. Scott Shelby and Lauren Winter visit the Manfred title store. After Manfred has been murdered, it will be necessary to get out of the store and, if possible, get rid of the traces of their presence.
Enter the shop and look around. You can find Manfred at the back. He is very old, almost blind and deaf, but somehow he still manages to do such precise work. Talk to and follow him. He will ask you to answer the phone. You can listen to his request or ignore it and then the phone will be picked up by Lauren.
Drink Whisky with him. Drink all of it. Show letter to Manfred. Old man cannot see well, so bring him his magnifying glass from the counter. Ask him about everything, leave asking about clients for the end. He will go to the back while you can look around the shop and talk to Lauren. Read Scott's thoughts and go back to the back. You will find dead Manfred.
Now you must get rid of the evidence. Think of what you have touched here: telephone in the back, window in the back (if you opened it), magnifying glass, telephone on the counter, Whisky glasses, small figure Lauren was so fascinated with. And finally - front door. Before you leave, make sure you've wiped off all the prints - this is one of the requirements to win the Perfect Crime trophy, which forces you to make certain decisions throughout the game.
If you've disposed of all the prints correctly, Scott and Lauren won't be located by the police.
If you miss something, there's a short scene where Scott explains himself to the police.
Now you have to talk to Lauren. Eventually she will dramatically leave the car. You don't have a choice - go to her and let her continue the investigation with you.
The Shark
On this page of Heavy Rain's game guide we've put together a description The Shark scene. This is one of Ethan's challenges to rescue his kidnapped son. The scene will take place inside a drug dealer's apartment and involves an important new choice.
Important: It is one of the most moving scenes in the game, while also it's Ethan's fourth trial. Successful completion of this attempt and the four others are required to get the Trial Master trophy.
Knock and react quickly to hold the door. Draw the gun. Dealer will come up with some heavy arguments in form of a shotgun, so you will have to run. It's typical QTE, just like any other. Keep running away from him until you reach kid's room. If you fail the QTE sequence while avoiding the dealer, Ethan will be shot. This does not mean Ethan's death, but you will no longer have a chance to pass the fourth attempt.
Now you have a choice - kill the dealer or spare his life. Kill him if you want to pass all the tests and find all the clues, although it is worth noting cause you will be able to find Shaun without turning into a ruthless murderer.
If you shoot a dealer (press R1 on PS3/PS4) you will receive the I'm a Killer... trophy. If you spare him and just stun him, you will get the achievement I'm Not a Killer!. As these trophies are mutually exclusive, you must return to this chapter after you've finished the game to behave differently.
