Find the officer's hand | Walkthrough Phantaruk Guide
Last update: 30 August 2016
When you enter Administrative Zone, you will be safe for a while. For now, you will not encounter any enemies and you can look around. The screenshot presents the view that you will see once you enter the zone. If you go left, towards the batten, you will find a syringe. Pick it up and go towards the courtyard. Signal will be available at the stairs and you will be able to listen to the log again. Officer quarters are on the right, but in order to get verification via finger prints is required.
The computer presented in the screenshot is in the middle part of the courtyard. You need to approach the device from the right side, otherwise interaction will not be possible. Use it to read emails that contain the code required to open another door. Head for the door and unlock with the combination: 1 1 1 1. You will end up in a small waiting room.

The screenshot represents the map of the administrative zone. Your task is to activate computer [K]. In order to do that, you will have to collect 4 energy cells, located on desks across the entire section. The map shows where you can find, and in which order they should be collected. Numbers will also improve navigation according to the game guide. Phantaruk was marked with letter [P].
Use the nearby corridor to reach the conference room, where cell[1] can be found. You are safe for now. There is a second exit from the conference room. Use it to find cell[2]. The main problem is that door leading to the conference room is made of metal but the one in front of which Phantaruk is standing, is made of glass. If you won't crouch, the beast will spot you and kill you. Once you pick up the second item, get back to the conference room as quickly as possible. Remember not to run, and crouch all the time.
Leave the conference room and get to the corridor. Head to the main part of the administrative zone. The room is a maze of desks, but it will be best if you turn right immediately and reach the wall. On your left there is a tunnel made of desks without chairs. If you go inside, you will find another cell[3]. You can pick it up while crouching, so Phantaruk will not see you. Collect the item and move along the tunnel till you reach the wall, which separates the office from the conference room. The door is not far, so pass them crouching. On the table of the conference room, there is the last energy cell[4]. Pick it up and head for the other exit.
Right in front of the door, there is a place, which is your objective. Interact with it, wait till the computers are available again, and turn towards the desk that you had behind you. Interact with the computer and select option "release the lock", which will grant you access to the technical zone. Syringe is located in a chest, in the location where Phantaruk was standing for the majority of time. You are safe for now, so collect the item.
Remember: Phantaruk may reach the technical room before you do. If that happens, it's best to wait till the creature actually leaves the area. You can do that in the glass room, on the right of the door.
Once you reach technical rooms, you will see the following view. You will need to go along the corridor on the right, but the door at its end can only be unlocked with an access card. You can find it at the end of the left corridor presented in the screenshot.
Approach the desk with the card and leave the place immediately. You may even run towards the right corridor (see photo). It's crucial that you reach the locked door quickly. When you open the door you will reach another lock, so use the computer to start the process of scanning.

When you are out of the floodgate, you will reach the place presented in the screenshot. There are no interesting items around and the door leading to the technical department is locked. Head for the air shaft presented in the screenshot. Use it, and soon you will realize that you need to jump down to its lower part, in order to continue.
Head for the fan, as there is a corridor going right just in front of it. There is another hole. Jump into it. When you get to the lower part, follow the only possible path. There is another landing area in front of you, but before you actually jump, draw your attention to diary entry, located in the left part of the shaft. If you stick to the left wall, you won't fall down, and thus be able to collect the item. Do it and jump through the hole.
You will end up in the lowest section. Move forward and you should see the entrance on the right. Enter the room as there is another syringe. Collect it, go back to the shift and head right. At the end of a longer road, there is another entrance. This one will lead you directly to the technical zone.
When you move forward, the signal will be available once again, and you will be able to listen to another recording. Move forward when the recording ends. Draw you attention to the door on the left. It also requires verification via finger prints. On the right side, on the sofa, there is another text message. Go on and you will reach door that can be opened with the code from the last text message 4 8 6 5.
[danger]
When the door opens, you will see Phantaruk in front of you. Luckily, the creature is far away, and there is a ruined corridor between you. You need to be fast. Turn right towards a small room. There is a diary .entry on the right, by the door. Go to the neighboring room. Get to the closest outer wall of the room (as far away from the beast as possible). Go straight. Don't stop, don't look around and don't run. There will be door in front of you. Once you go through and it shuts behind you, collect the syringe from the nearby table.
Phantaruk will not follow you directly, but you can't stay too long in this room. Standing in the entrance to the room, there will be a hatch that can take you to another air shaft.
[end]
Move along and you will get to a room with a ripped officer's hand and batteries. Leave the room via the only available door.
