Old Warehouse | Heavy Rain Walkthrough Heavy Rain guide, walkthrough

On this page of Heavy Rain's game guide we've put a description of The Old Warehouse scene. This is the final chapter of the game, the course of which is influenced by many factors. What's more, each of the main characters can get killed during the game and as a result you can unlock different endings.

Important: This chapter will vary depending on which characters will reach that point of the game. It can also greatly influence the [Endings].

• Ethan
• Madison

• Rescuing Shaun
• Fight with the killer

Decisions that can impact this chapter

The best variant assumes that all playable characters will appear in this location. In such a situation Ethan is the one saving Shaun, Norman will fight the killer and Madison is going to try preventing the police from storming the place.

The worst case scenario assumes that three out of four playable characters will not appear in the magazine. Madison may die. Norman may die or not find the magazine. Ethan may end up in custody or not find a warehouse. If none of the characters reach the place, then Shaun is left alone. He will die and the killer won't be caught.

Below we have provided info about what each character has to do to come (or not) to the Old Warehouse. Scott Shelby, of course, was not included in this list - because of who he is, his presence is an obvious issue.

Ethan

In order to reach the Old Warehouse Ethan must:

1. Complete all challenges in [The Bear], [The Butterfly], [The Lizard], [The Shark], [The Rat];
2. Alternatively, if you have completed three or four tests, you will need to go to a good place in the stage [The Rat];
3. Alternatively, if you have completed fewer than three attempts, you must get a call from Madison if she has guessed the password and survived [Killer's Place] stage;

In each of these cases Ethan mustn't end up in prison in stages [Fugitive] (if caught, Ethan can still be freed by Norman) and in [On the Loose].

In order to not get there Ethan must:

1. Get caught [Fugitive] and don't get released by Norman in stage called [Under Arrest];
2. Get caught for the second time in [On the Loose];
3. Complete less than 5 challenges during these stages: [The Bear], [The Butterfly], [The Lizard], [The Shark], [The Rat]. Drive to wrong place in [The Rat] stage or don't receive a phone from Madison in [Killer's Place] stage.

Madison

In order to reach the Old Warehouse Madison must:

1. Survive [The Doc] stage;
2. Solve the password for computer and survive the [Killer's Place] stage.

In order to not get there Madison must:

1. Die during [The Doc] stage;
2. Die during [Killer's Place] stage;
3. Survive during [The Doc] stage, but don't solve the password during [Killer's Place] stage. Even if Madison gets to the end of the game, she won't find a warehouse.

Norman

In order to reach the Old Warehouse Norman must:

1. Survive the [Mad Jack] stage;
2. Survive the [Fish Tank] stage;
3. Survive the [Solving The Puzzle] stage and get the identity of Origami Killer;
4. Alternatively, get a call from Madison with information about the magazine if she has guessed the password and survived at the [Killer's Place] stage.

In order to not get there Norman must:

1. Die during [Mad Jack] stage;
2. Die during [Fish Tank] stage;
3. Die during [Solving The Puzzle] stage;
4. Alternatively, while passing [Solving The Puzzle] stage, do not correctly guess the identity of the killer or accuse Blake;
5. Alternatively, don't get (in [Killer's Place]) a call from Madison with exact location of killer and victim whereabouts.

Rescuing Shaun

Pick up the bar that will let you save Shaun

Shaun is locked in the well at the end of the room. In order to save him as Ethan or Madison you must try lifting up the hatch. Then pick up the bar on the right (it can be done after the fight with Scott, for example if Madison is alone) and destroy the padlock with it. Next, lift the crate, take Shaun out of the water and reanimate him. It is impossible to fail that. For saving the boy you can get the Saved the Kid trophy.

If there's no one to save Shaun, the boy will drown. Plus, if Ethan survived but couldn't save Shaun, he'll commit suicide.

Fight with the killer

Who will fight the killer depends on who will come to the warehouse. Norman is first in the line

This fight doesn't vary from what you've got throughout the game - except of the scenery of course. You can lose this battle. If that happens, then the fighting character dies and Shaun is not rescued (unless there's another hero here, or you play as Norman who rescues Shaun before fighting).

The last scene and the last decision - help the killer or not (you can die after that so choose wisely)

In the last part of this stage, the game epilogue is strongly weighted. Your actions will also influence the trophies you unlock:

1. When the killer is hanging on the edge, pull him up in order to receive the Simple mind trophy. If you don't want a trophy or just want revenge, you can let him die.
2. The next trophy requires a strong combination - you have to reach the final stage with four characters, then lose the fight with the killer and lead to the arrest of Madison. The last step is to save and reanimate Shaun and then leave him before the door that you walk through. This steps will allow you to receive the So Close... trophy.

If all the "positive" characters survive to the end of the game and if Scott dies in the finale, you will win the Four Heroes trophy.
